Chapter 16 "Records of Li Bai" Li Bai in Du Fu's eyes

Li Bai in Du Fu's eyes Li Bai and Du Fu are the twin constellations of Tang poetry.What kind of image is Li Bai in Du Fu's eyes? Li Bai has an idol temperament, and Du Fu is also a fan of him.Li Bai's reputation has a lot to do with Du Fu. Du Fu hyped for him and wrote poems to praise him. When Du Fu was 33 years old, he met Li Bai, who was 44 years old at the time.At this time, Li Bai was already a great literati, and Du Fu and Gao Shi followed him as small followers. Du Fu wrote a famous poem about Li Bai, which I personally think is an excellent portrait of Li Bai, even better than Wei Hao's.The one depicted by Wei Hao has a good image, but it is not vivid enough.Let's take a look at Du Fu's "To Li Bai":

Autumn came to care about Shang Piaopeng, but Ge Hong was ashamed of the cinnabar. Drinking and singing wildly to spend the day, flying high and domineering. Zhou Zuoren once wrote an article, saying that when he was a child, he wanted to be a "broken foot bone", that is, young and Dangerous.This is also helpful for us to understand Young and Dangerous.Zhou Zuoren said in the article that he had a relative who was a gangster. Once, in order to teach a young and Dangerous boy a lesson, his relative walked over and pulled out a knife and stuck it in his knee, saying: "Either you get out of here." , or you do as I do.As a result, the young and Dangerous boy turned around and ran away in fright.Zhou Zuoren's writing is very expressive. Although he is a very self-cultivated person, he also worships young and Dangerous.He said that this is the spirit of young and Dangerous, and it is based on a breath.

Li Bai had such an air, so it is not surprising that Du Fu worshiped him and recognized him as an idol.After all, young people like to be young and Dangerous.Li Bai has practiced swordsmanship since elementary school, worshiped General Pei, and practiced alchemy. "Spend your days drinking and singing in vain, who will be the hero if you fly high and domineering", which expresses Li Bai's spirit, a kind of heroic temperament. This is Du Fu's impression of Li Bai when Li and Du traveled together.Why did Du Fu worship Li Bai so much?Because Li Bai told Du Fu a lot of his own stories, and Du Fu listened so fascinatedly that his poems all had Li Bai's character. This "To Li Bai" looks like Li Bai wrote it himself.

There is also a famous song "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking", which was also written by Du Fu, and it has written eight celebrities in total.Chinese culture has always had the "ten scene disease", everything must be made into a whole number.When Li Bai was reclusive in Zhuxi, he had "Six Escapes of Zhuxi", and after he arrived in Chang'an, he had "Eight Immortals in Drinking". The Eight Immortals Ming Du Jin Zhizhang rode a horse like a boat, dazzled and fell to sleep at the bottom of a well.Ruyang's three fights began to rise to the sky,

Daofeng salivated at the mouth of the Koji car, and hated to seal it to Jiuquan.Zuo Xiang spends tens of thousands of dollars day by day, Drinking like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, the sage of holding a cup of music is called avoiding the virtuous.Zongzhi is a handsome and beautiful young man, Raise your glass and look at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree before the wind.Before Su Jin Changzhai embroidered Buddha, When drunk, I often like to escape from meditation.Li Bai's Hundred Poems by Dou, Sleeping in a Restaurant in Chang'an City, The emperor called him unable to board the ship, and claimed that his minister was a wine fairy.Zhang Xu's three-cup grass sage biography,

In front of the prince with his hat off and his crown on top, paper falls like a cloud of smoke.Jiao Sui's five fights and Fang Zhuoran, Talk eloquently and surprise the four feasts. This poem is about eight famous drunken literati.He Zhizhang is the most important person to Li Bai, because he said the three words "exile immortal", which directly established Li Bai's status, so he is the first immortal.Then there were two Immortals Ruyang Wang, three Immortals Li Shizhi, four Immortals Cui Zongzhi, five Immortals Su Jin, sixth Immortals Li Bai, seven Immortals Zhang Xu, and eight Immortals Jiao Sui.At this time, Li Bai did not appear as a killer, but his style remained the same, and he was still a young and Dangerous image of "birth and fearlessness", possessing an arrogant spiritual realm.

Du Fu also has a poem "Reminiscence", which is a poem of memoir nature.Write about his time with Li Bai in Liangdi during his middle age: In the past, when I traveled to the middle of the Song Dynasty, only Liang Xiaowang was the capital.The name is now Chen Liuya, and the drama is Bei Wei Ju. There are 90,000 houses in the city, and the high buildings illuminate the thoroughfare.The boat and the car are half a day, and the host and the guest are more entertaining. Hatred against injustice with a white blade, and poured gold with or without it.In the world of murderers, the reward lies in Sixu.

Recalling Gao Li's generation, talking about handing in wine.The two males are strong and thinking, so I am full of color. The air is full of air, and the stage is blown, and the nostalgia is regarded as flat.As soon as the mangdang cloud goes away, the geese and ducks call each other in the sky. The first emperor happened to be martial, and the world and the sea did not wither.The fierce generals will take over the Western Regions, and the long halberds will break the Linhu. Attack a city with a million, and you won't lose if you win.Group training is discarded like mud, and a foot of soil is negative for a hundred people.

The work of expanding the realm has not yet been completed, and Yuanhe Ci is a big furnace.The friends who are separated from each other are exhausted, and the years are together. How can I be entrusted with my decline, and I will cry again after I survive.I am ashamed of being depressed, and I am alone in a corner of the sky. Chenghuang has gone, Fanma is just a mere district.I don't see Yan Bao again, but lie on a boat tied to Jing Wu. Vomiting before meals and eating more, often afraid of violating the orphan. The first two sentences "I used to travel in the Song Dynasty, but Liang Xiaowang was the capital." Li Bai chose to stay in Liang for ten years, and there is an allusion.In the Han Dynasty, King Liang Xiao once invited Sima Xiangru to go there, and Liangdi was also a place where literati and knights haunted, which was in line with Li Bai's identity.Li Bai, Du Fu, and Gao Shi, the great intellectuals of the Tang Dynasty, gathered there, because that place had a strong attraction for them.Daliang in the Tang Dynasty was also a big city with a large population and well-connected streets, making it a lively place.One has to go to a big city if one wants to be famous.From the following verses, we can see what Li Bai and Du Fu are doing: "Hate the injustice with a white blade, and pour gold into what you have. In the world of murderers, the repayment is here." They are fighting for justice!Who did Du Fu do this murder in a busy city with? "Reminiscing with Gao Li, talking about handing over wine." Du Fu was too honest, and confessed both Li Bai and Gao Shi.In addition to Li Bai himself telling these young and Dangerous things, Du Fu also provided this circumstantial evidence. "The two gentlemen are strong and thinking, which makes me full of color." Li Bai and Gao Shi drank happily, and it would be even better if I recorded it.

The fourth lecture is Young and Dangerous Li Bai. This poem should be Du Fu's late work.Because he wrote about the Anshi Rebellion and the hopelessness of the country. At this moment, he thought of his youth and the time when we were together, and thought that he could kill people for a little money, and he could sing to wine... But Now that there is no way to serve the country, and he is old, he reveals infinite sadness and sadness. From this poem, we can also see that Li Bai, who is in his forties, is no longer a young man, but he is still young and Dangerous.Du Fu followed Li Bai because he admired Li Bai's young and Dangerous spirit. He followed Li Bai to learn poetry while learning to be a young and Dangerous boy.When Du Fu, who was in his prime, met Li Bai, who was in his forties, they did the act of "killing people in the world of mortals".
