李白和杜甫中英文(中国人物之二)

Li Bai (701-762 AD) are the two greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty. They are often referred to in history as “Li and Du”.

Li Bai, a prodigy in Chinese poetry, had a bold and unconstrained character and cherished freedom. He spent most of his time travelling far and wide, an experience which was full of legendary color. His unrestrained personality and rare talent imbued his poems with romantic sentiment, rich imagination and exuberant style. He was revered by latter generations as “poet immortal”. “Seest thou not the waters of the Yellow River rush down from the sky, and roll off to the sea forevermore not to come back.”“Leaving home laughing long and loud with my head held high, we will never be men of mediocre talents.”The grandeur and superb talent demonstrated in the poems come forth only from Li Bai the poet. He wrote in his life time more than 900 poems, a great treasure for Chinese literature.

Du Fu had a different life experience. Deeply concerned about his country and people, he never stood aloof from social reality. His poetry mirrored the times in which he lived and truthfully presented the social life of his people. For this reason, his poetry was referred to as “poetic history”. Du Fu created, during his life time, more than 1400 poems, of which the most famous are “Xinan Officer”, “The Shihao Officer”, “Tong Pass Officer”, “Parting after Nuptials”, “Parting during Declining Years”and “Parting without a Home”. His poems are profound in meaning and

dignified in style. Every word is carefully pondered over and precisely chosen. Read his following poem: “The state being broken up, its mounts and streams remain. The capital in spring does thick plants contain. Aggrieved by the times’events, flowers shed tears; with regrets for enforced partings, the birds were shaken at hearts.”Every line of his poem touches the heart of the reader. It is no exaggeration to say that in poetic creation Du Fu realized his motto “If my lines don’t startle others, in death I’ll find no rest.”His poetry has become (or set) a brilliant example for generation after generation of poets in China. He is truly worth of the honored title “poet saint”.

李白（701年~762年）和杜甫（712年~770年）是中国唐朝最有名的两位诗人，历史上把他们合称为“李杜”。

李白，中国诗歌史上的奇才。他性情豪放，热爱自由，大半生都在游历，自身的经历就充满了传奇色彩。独特的个性与才气使李白的诗歌富有浪漫主义色彩，想象夸张，自由奔放，后人把他称为“诗仙”。“君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。”“仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人。”这样的气势与才华，只有李白这样的诗人才能具备。李白一生创作了900多首诗歌，是中国文学史上的巨大财富。

与李白不同，杜甫的一生忧国忧民，从未脱离现实生活，因此，他的诗歌富有时代色彩，真实展现当时的社会生活，堪称一代“诗史”，其实比较有名的是“三吏”“三别”。杜甫一生共创作了1400多首诗歌，风格大多深沉凝重，讲究一字一句的锤炼。“国破山河在，城春

草木深。感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。”每个字都深深触动着人们的心灵。可以说，在诗歌创作上，杜甫真正做到了“语不惊人死不休”，他的诗歌也成为一代又一代诗人的创作典范，后人把他尊称为“诗圣”。
