As is known to us all, the Tang Dynasty was one of the great dynasties in Chinese history. It invented a tolerant and cosmopolitan culture with its expansion. At that time, many wellknown poets with vivid imagination were born, such as Li Bai and Du Fu.
Typically, Li Bai, the son of a rich merchant, was a romantic, whose poems reflected the beauty of nature. And yet, Du Fu whose poems reflected the sufferings of the poor and revealed the corruption of rich people. Interestingly, they two were not acquaintances but good friends.
And the two poets took hold of every chance to share each other's works. After they parted, they always corresponded with one another to get mental comfort.
In China, almost everyone is familiar with Li Bai and Du Fu, who are regarded as not failures but great successes in literature realm.
正如我们都知道的，唐朝是中国历史上最伟大的朝代之一。随着唐朝势力的扩张，它创造了宽容和包罗万象的文化。当时，诞生了许多著名的富有想象力的诗人，比如李白和杜甫。
有代表性的是，李白，一个富有的商人的儿子，是浪漫主义诗人，他的诗反映了自然的美丽。而杜甫的诗反映了穷人的苦难，揭露了富人的腐败。有趣的是，李白和杜甫不是泛泛之交而是很好的朋友。
并且这两个诗人抓住每一次机会来分享彼此的作品。在他们分开后，他们还总是相互通信以寻求心灵上的抚慰。
在中国，几乎人人都熟悉李白和杜甫，把他们看作是文学殿堂里的卓有成就者，而绝不是失败者。
