Recently, after reading Wang Qi's "The Complete Works of Li Taibai" and Qiu Zhao'ao's "Detailed Notes on Du Shi", these two books are the classic representative works of the Qing people's notes on Li and Du. Since the Song Dynasty, Du Shi has been like a secretary of the river, and there are many, while there are very few people who have written li collections.
Wang Guowei said in the preface to the "History of Song and Yuan Opera" that "all generations have a generation of literature: the endowment of Chu and Han, the language of the six generations, the poetry of Tang, the words of Song, and the song of Yuan, all of which are the so-called literature of one generation, and the future generations cannot succeed them."
When it comes to Tang Dynasty poetry, Li Bai and Du Fu must be two peaks that are difficult to surpass, if Tang poetry has a ranking, then the two of them must be in the top two, and there is no controversy, a poetry immortal, a poetry sage, in the various poetry collections of later generations have argued about the advantages and disadvantages of the two, after all, it is indistinguishable and difficult to determine.
The friendship between the two greatest people of the same era has also become a good story throughout the ages, and it has been the same for posterity, and the literati have always been the norm since ancient times, but the two met for the first time in The Three Years of Tianbao in Dongdu. Li Bai was 11 years older than Du Fu, and this uninhibited and ambitious strange man was already famous at that time, "Drinking and singing in the air, flying and flying for whom?" This is the first impression of Li Bai by du fu as a little brother, and Du Fu wrote more than a dozen poems about Li Bai, which shows Du Fu's admiration for this genius big brother. They traveled together in Liang and Song Dynasties, boarded The Ancients, and left many good articles on wine. Du Fu's fame at that time should be far inferior to that of Li Bai, which is also evident that none of Du Fu's poems were selected in the Tang Dynasty Yin Pan's "Collection of Heroic Spirits of Heyue". He himself did not expect that after his death, he would actually influence the derivation of the Jiangxi Poetry School, and there would be a thousand families to note Du Shizhi as a spectacular scene in later generations.
The hobbies and styles of the two are different, Du Fu is confucian, with Confucianism as the foundation, while Taibai is a mixture of Confucian interpretation and Taoism, Taibai is mainly qi, nature is the sect, handsome and high is precious, Zimei is mainly intentional, unique creation is the sect, and Qiba Shenxiong is precious. The song is wonderful, the chant makes people flutter and immortal, too white, makes people generous and fierce, sighs and despairs, Zi Meiya. Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the controversy over Li Du's superiority and inferiority has begun, and the most prominent of them, Yuan Shu, said: "As for Zimei, gai the so-called upper thin wind, the lower Shen Song, the words to seize Su Li, the qi swallowing Cao Liu, the solitude of concealing Xie Xie's height, the beauty of Miscellaneous Xu Yu, the strength of ancient and modern, and the uniqueness of everyone!" Make Zhongni kao forge its will, I don't know how expensive it is! If you think that what you can do is not impossible, and there is nothing you can do, then the poet has not come to be as beautiful as a child. Li Bai, a native of Shandong, was also known as Wen qi, and was called Li Du by the people of the time. Yu guan his magnificent waves are indulgent, swinging away from restraint, modeling objects and songs and poems of Lefu, and Cheng is also worse than Zi Meiyi. If the laying out is always beginning, the row is louder than the rhyme, large or a thousand words, the times are hundreds, the words are heroic and the wind is clear and deep, and it belongs to the law and abandons the mortal nearness, then Li Still cannot go through his qihan, and the situation is mysterious!
Later, Han Yu's "Tuning Zhang Book" was the first voice: "Li Du's article is here, and the flames are long. I don't know if the crowd is stupid, and that is slanderous. The grasshopper shakes the tree, ridiculously self-imposed. Give a strong response to the controversy at the time.
Li Bai wrote only three poems to Du Fu, which may also be because of Taibai's heroic and free-spirited and informal personality, he will not be as delicate as Du Fu, and "Drama to Du Fu" also caused a pen and ink lawsuit by later good deeds. Du Fu repeatedly gave poems to remember Li Bai, such as "Spring Day Remembers Li Bai": "Bai is also invincible in poetry, and he is not full of thoughts." Fresh Yu Kai Province, Junyi Bao joined the army. "In winter, there is a huai li bai": "Taibai chanted poetry and fighting wine, and the riot was passed down for thousands of years." Raw flowers are given a poem, and Chang'an needs to borrow wine money. Crazy people gossip in court, who can pity under the moon? In the past, Jin Luan met the Son of Heaven, and now he should look for who immortals. As well as "The End of heaven with Li Bai", "Send Kong Chao's father Xie sick to tour Jiangdong, and present Li Bai", etc., Li Bai was exiled to Yelang. Du Fu felt sorry for Li Bai, "It is really sad not to see Li Shengjiu. The world wants to kill, and I want to have mercy on them. A thousand poems of agility, a glass of wine. Kuang Shan Reading Office, head white good return. There are also poems such as "Dream Li Bai Two" that can also be seen in the sincere expression of feelings.
I read the two people's poetry collection, wanted to see their people, hated not to meet the time, Tai Shi Gong said that the poem has it: 'The mountain is up, the scenery is stopped.' 'Though you can't go, your heart yearns for it.' Sincerely!
(Among the many commentaries on Du Fu's poetry collections, Qian Qianyi's "Qian Zhu Du Shi", Yang Lun's "Du Shi Jing Quan", Pu Qilong's "Reading Du Xin Xie" and Qiu Zhao'ao's "Detailed Notes on Du Shi" are more prominent and distinctive, and the "Annotations on du Fu's Complete Works" edited by Xiao Xiaodifei are also a collection of eclectic and comprehensive annotations, and most of them can also read Xiao Difei or Feng Zhi's selected readings of people's literature if they do not want to choose)
