In poetry writing in the Tang Dynasty, the“Poetic Genius”Li Bai and“Saint of Poet”Du Fu
were the most shining ones.It can be said that Li Bai and Du Fu’s poetry writing represented
and symbolized an era, and the difference between“Genius”and“Saint”represents the holding
of invisible image of their respective life trajectories and their understanding of the
destiny.In the Song Dynasty, people’s evaluation of Li and Du’s works had a clear tendency,
which can be regarded as a choice of the Tang Dynasty poetry paradigm by people of the
Song.Through the study of classic poetries of Tang Dynasty as a starting point to spread out,
the main tone of poetries of an era can be generally identified.The understanding of poetry
paradigm is a valuable method for reference and unique view for inheriting and commenting
literary works of previous dynasties.
