On this day, 760 years ago, on June 5, 1265 (May 20, 1265), the famous Italian poet Dante was born. Alighieri Dante (Italian: Dante Alighieri, June 5, 1265 - 1321) At the end of the 13th century, on the eve of the Italian Renaissance, Florence gave birth to a great male poet. This is Alighieri Dante (1265-1321), who was hailed by Engels as "the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of the new era." Italian poet, the founder of modern Italian, one of the pioneering figures of the European Renaissance era, left his name on the long poem "The Divine Comedy". Engels commented: "The end of the feudal Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern capitalist era were marked by a great figure, the Italian Dante, who was the last poet of the Middle Ages and at the same time the first poet of the new era." Dante was born in Florence, Italy, to a decrepit aristocratic family. Born in 1265, Dante wrote many books throughout his life, the most valuable of which is undoubtedly the Divine Comedy. This work reflects the achievements and some major problems in the field of medieval culture through the author's dialogues with various famous figures in hell, purgatory, and heaven. It is of an "encyclopedic" nature, and it can also glimpse the dawn of Renaissance humanist thought. In this 14,000-line epic poem, Dante firmly opposed the obscurantism of the Middle Ages and expressed the idea of persistent pursuit of truth, which had a profound impact on the poetry creation of later generations in Europe. In addition to the Divine Comedy, Dante also wrote works such as "Rebirth", "On Sayings", "Feast" and "Poetry Collection". "Rebirth" includes thirty-one lyric poems, mainly expressing the nostalgia for Beatrice, which is simple, beautiful and moving. In the poetry of the "Gentle New Body", it reaches the highest achievement.
