"To Li Bai" Tang? Du Fu

I care about Peng, who is still floating. Ge Hong is not ashamed of Dansha.

Drinking crazy songs and living an empty life? Who is domineering for?

Step 2 take notes

Pupeng: A herb with willow leaves and small white flowers, which is uprooted in autumn and floats in the wind. Therefore, it is often used to describe the erratic movements of people. At that time, Li Bai and Du Fu were both frustrated in their official careers, wandering together and homeless, so they took the floating canopy as a metaphor.

Not successful, not successful.

Cinnabar is cinnabar. Taoism believes that refining sand into medicine can prolong life.

Ge Hong, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, went to Luofushan for alchemy. Li Bai, a good fairy, once made an alchemy by himself, and studied under the high school (a kind of initiation ceremony). Du Fu also crossed the Yellow River and went to Wuwangshan to visit Taoist Hua Gaijun, but he was disappointed because Hua Gaijun was dead. Both of them failed to learn Tao, so they said they were "ashamed of Ge Hong".

Domineering, unconventional, wild and unruly. It is used as a commendatory term here.

3. Translation

When I met you in autumn, you still traveled around the world like a floating canopy; You haven't made great achievements in seeking immortality and alchemy. You must be ashamed of Ge Hong, an alchemist. If you are ambitious, you can only waste your spring and autumn in drinking crazy songs; You are unconventional and uninhibited, but in my eyes, who else is a hero in the world besides you?

Step 4 enjoy

This poem shows a crazy word and a proud word. Proud and rough, this is Du Fu's portrayal of Li Bai. In A Gift for Li Bai, the arrogant style, strength and tolerance are highlighted, and Li Bai's spirit and oh, how can I solemnly bow and scrape to the high official Hou Lu? This is the poetic eye and essence of this poem. It is not only in line with Du Fu's other poems praising Li Bai, but also vividly reveals Li Bai's character and temperament.

This seven-line poem is gloomy, cadence and ups and downs. The last sentence uses a rhetorical tone to push the whole poem to a climax. When commenting on this poem in the early Qing Dynasty, Qian only paid attention to the sentence of "bossiness", and the rest were generalized, which was eye-catching and showed its important value in the whole poem: "Charming, good at vertical and horizontal skills. Without Ren Xia, there are several people with hands and blades, so the talents are domineering. Clouds fly all their lives. Old notes are ridiculous. " (Volume 9 of Zhu Qian Du Fu's Poems) is intended to praise Li Bai's chivalrous spirit from a new angle and side, and highlight the flying nature of "bossiness". Autumn notes the cloud: "Fly, float. Domineering, strong beam. On Shuo Wen: Hu and Wei Ye. Hey, the jumping of the Judas fish is also its tail. " (Detailed Explanation of Du Fu's Poems, Volume 1) Although this is a sentence annotation, it is used to symbolize Li Bai's bold spirit in To Li Bai.

This poem is concise and full of charm. In order to strengthen the rhythm and momentum of the whole poem cycle, we should be "crazy" against "crazy song" and "flying" against "domineering"; And "Drunk Crazy Song" and "Flying Around", "Living Empty" and "For Who" are opposites. This formed a flying atmosphere, further highlighting Li Bai's lofty sentiments and wildness.
