1. Li Bai
Li Bai lived in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. He had the political ideal of "helping the people" and "anli Yuan" and worked hard to realize this ideal throughout his life. However, Li Bai cared about national affairs throughout his life and hoped to make contributions to the country, but there was a fierce contradiction between Li Bai's dissatisfaction with the dark reality. His 59 "Ancient Styles" are representative works in this regard. The dark corruption and corruption in the late Tang Xuanzong period were extensively exposed and criticized, reflecting the sorrow and indignation of the capable people who had no way out. He speaks too much and is sarcastic, and his spirit is high. Li Bai had lofty political ambitions, but he served as a Hanlin scholar in the imperial court for three years and failed to get involved in politics. Instead, he became the king's official scholar. In addition, he was ostracized by his disdain for the powerful, and he left in anger. Chang'an. In the poem, we can easily see the poet's mood of "cutting off the water with a knife, the water will flow more, and raising a cup to eliminate sorrow and sorrow will become more sorrowful". You can imagine how miserable a person who is full of melancholy feels in his heart when he wants to relieve his sorrow but cannot do so! On the surface, he drinks happily, but in fact, sorrow pierces his heart. But the poems are full of ink, the emotions are extremely sad and angry and wild, and the language is extremely bold and calm. The root of this lies in the author's rich and deep inner feelings, the turbulent emotions of anger hidden under the drinking conversation.
Applicable topics
Li Bai's poems, just like some of his works singing about the roc, express his heroic ambition and broad-mindedness, and reflect his pursuit of extraordinary things from the side. desire. Even when Li Bai was sent back to his hometown by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was still open-minded and full of confidence in the future, using topics such as "looking up", "ambition", and "shoulders". When Li Bai was in the palace, he asked Gao Lishi to take off his shoes, thus attracting the fate of being exiled. This topic is suitable for "talking about spirits", "nobility", "I want to hold your hand", etc.

14. Li Qingzhao and his wife Li Qingzhao and his wife lived diligently and frugally. They often pawned their clothes to "get a lot of money" and bought some inscriptions and monuments.

15. Death of Wang Guowei
The most profound stroke in Wang Guowei's cultural life It's his death.
Regarding his death, Zhao Wanli's "Chronology of Mr. Wang Jing'an" has the following record: "On the night of the second day of May, after reading the examination paper, I wrote a note to cherish it. That night, I slept soundly as usual. The next morning (i.e. 1927) On June 2nd, he washed and ate, went to the institute to attend to matters as usual. Suddenly he gave five counterfeit silver cakes to a friend, and walked out of the school alone, hired a car to the Summer Palace, and walked to the West Fish Zao Pavilion of Paiyun Pavilion. After finishing a cigarette, the gardener saw it, suddenly heard the sound of falling water, and rushed to help him. He died in less than two minutes, and the time was right."
From this, it can be roughly inferred that Wang Guowei. His death was not only an active choice, but also very calm, like going on a date with an old friend, without any excitement. It is this calmness of seeing death as if it were home that gave Wang Guowei a unique position in the coordinate system of cultural history. He did not die from specific current events, but most likely from his disappointment in the cultural spirit in which he lived, and his despair over some irreparable shortcomings in Chinese culture. From a large historical perspective, his death was not only not limited to some specific current affairs, but also transcended individual life; he used death to separate himself from the fallen culture - he saw that if the body does not die, the spirit will not die. It will inevitably lead to annihilation, so the only way is to exchange physical death for spiritual immortality. This is his great sobriety and great wisdom. At that time, I am afraid that only a few people who felt the same way saw through this.
Analysis: The choice of tranquility and no regrets seems to be pursuing something. Perhaps it is a kind of tranquility deep in the hearts of Chinese intellectuals!
