Bai Juyi, a realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, is known as the "Poetry Demon" and the "Poetry King". He and Yuan Zhen had a close friendship and jointly advocated the New Yuefu Movement, known as "Yuan Bai" in the world. Together with Liu Yuxi, he is also known as "Liu Bai". In his early years, he had an upright personality and hated evil. In order to oppose the eunuch Tutu Chengcui's role as the "recruitment and comfort envoy" who controlled the military power, he even accused Tang Xianzong of his mistakes in person, which aroused the emperor's anger. Fortunately, Li Jiang rescued him and was not punished. In his later years, he retired to Xiangshan, Luoyang, and called himself Xiangshan layman. He devoted himself to poetry, wine and chanting about Buddha. Most of his poetic achievements were concentrated in his youth.

Bai Juyi wrote numerous works throughout his life. Long poems such as "Pipa Play" and "Song of Everlasting Regret" with neat contrasts and beautiful words combine freshness, beauty, metaphor, overt ridicule; they can be said to be the first of its kind. This book tells the story of Lotte layman from being promoted to an official to serving the people; then to his unsatisfactory official career and being punished and relegated. The sentence written after falling to the end of the world, why we must have known each other when we met, expresses how much sadness! You can recognize people by reading words, and reading poetry can better tell a person's life experiences. This biography of Bai Juyi will surely provide some comfort to countless contemporary people who are down on their luck despite the difference in time and space.

Bai Juyi was a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty. His poems are easy to understand. When he was young, with the ambition of "helping the world", he spoke out and composed a large number of poems reflecting the suffering of the people. After being demoted many times, he turned to the mountains and rivers. He composed more than 3,000 poems in his life. This book follows the clues of time and uses delicate writing to restore the ups and downs of Bai Juyi's life, showing his unyielding and optimistic attitude towards life despite the ups and downs, and recreating the magnificent era.

This "Biography of Bai Juyi" gave me a deeper understanding of Bai Juyi. His life has been really rough, but he has always maintained an optimistic attitude, which I admire very much. The friendship between him and Yuan Zhen mentioned in the book reminded me of those friends of mine. We always supported and encouraged each other. "Both ran for election in the Eastern Capital, and both posted official posts in Xijing. When they lived together, they slept together, and when they went out, they rode together." This sentence really vividly describes the deep friendship between them. I feel that this book not only tells the life of Bai Juyi, but also allows me to see the various aspects of life.

"You buried your bones in the mud under the spring, but I sent them to the world with a head full of snow."

Realist poets only sing songs to cure people's diseases. In this regard, they are already considered great among ancient poets.

The writing is quite good, especially the relationship between Bai Juyi's advancement and retreat and his friends' status in the officialdom is clearly expressed, which can be said to have grasped the key points.

Why doesn't this book mention his first love, Xiang Ling? That poor woman who had been waiting all his life left a colorful chapter in his life. Many of his longing poems were written to Xiang Ling.
