It is said that Li Bai robbed a Book of Songs when he was one year old. His father is very happy. He thought that his son might become a famous poet when he grew up, so he wanted to give Li Bai a good name, so that future generations would not laugh at him for being uneducated. Because he is very careful in naming his son, the more careful he is, the more he can't think of it. I didn't think of a suitable name until my son was seven years old. That spring, Li Bai's father said to his wife and children. I want to write a quatrain of spring. There are only two sentences. Just add one for me, mother and son.
One sentence is' Spring is warm and flowers bloom', and the other sentence is' Spring blossoms come first'. Mother thought for a long time and said, "Xinglin is on fire, and the red clouds have fallen." . ? When Li Bai and other mothers saw it, they didn't think about it. They pointed to the plum trees in full bloom in the courtyard and blurted out: "Plum flowers are in full bloom." ? Hearing this, the father clapped his hands and applauded. Sure enough, his son was a poet. The more he reads, the more he likes it. As he was reading, it suddenly occurred to him that the first word of the poem was not his surname. This last white word is really well used, saying that a plum blossom is as holy as snow. So he named his son Li Bai.
Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages. Li Taibai's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Liang, The First Building of Baidicheng, etc.
There were biographies of Li Bai's Ci and Fu in the Song Dynasty (such as Wen Ying's Xiang Ji). As far as its pioneering significance and artistic achievements are concerned, Li Bai's Ci Fu enjoys a high status.
Li Bai has the highest achievements in Yuefu, Gexing and Jueju. His songs completely broke all the inherent forms of poetry creation, no one relied on them, and his brushwork was diverse, reaching the magical realm of unpredictability and swaying. Li Bai's quatrains are natural and lively, elegant and chic, and can express endless feelings in concise and lively language. Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the Five Wonders, while Wang Changling and others wrote the Seven Wonders well. Li Bai is the only one who is good at both the Five Odds and the Seven Odds.
Li Bai's poems are magnificent and elegant, and his artistic achievements are extremely high. He eulogized the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, with bold and unrestrained style, beautiful and fresh, full of romantic spirit, and achieved the perfect unity of content and art, so he was called "fallen immortal". His poems mainly described the mountains and rivers and expressed his inner feelings.
Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen is shaken by the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature in his poems. Li Bai's poems are full of self-expression and subjective lyricism, and the expression of feelings is overwhelming. He and Du Fu are called "Big Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li").
In Li Bai's poems, imagination, exaggeration, metaphor and personification are often used comprehensively to produce magical brilliance and magnificent artistic conception, which is the reason why Li Bai's romantic poems give people heroic, unrestrained, elegant and immortal.
Li Bai's poems and songs had a far-reaching influence on later generations. Han Yu, Meng Jiao and Li He in the middle Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, Lu You and Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qi, Yang Shen and Gong Zizhen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all greatly influenced by Li Bai's poems.
