唐之韵 - 李白 Tang Poetry (Li Bai) -- Biography and Poetry (Mandarin)

Li Bai (AD 701 - 762) is best known for the extravagant imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace the reflection of the moon.

Tang poetry refers to poetry written during China's Tang dynasty, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry. According to a compilation created under the Kangxi emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there were almost 50,000 Tang poems written by over 2,200 authors. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry became an important part of social life at all levels of society. Scholars were required to master poetry for the civil service examinations, but the art was available to everyone. This led to a large record of poetry and poets, a partial record of which survives today. Two of the most famous poets of the period were Du Fu and Li Bai.

  • 【诗名】:胡无人 【作者】:李白 【朝代】:唐 【体裁】:乐府诗 【全诗】: 严风吹霜海草凋,筋干精坚胡马骄。 汉家战士三十万,将军兼领霍嫖姚。 流星白羽腰间插,剑花秋莲光出匣。 天兵照雪下玉关,虏箭如沙射金甲。 云龙风虎尽交回,太白入月敌可摧。 敌可摧,旄头灭,履胡之肠涉胡血。 悬胡青天上,埋胡紫塞傍。 胡无人,汉道昌。
