Under the guidance of his father, Li Bai was determined to be a successful person from an early age.
Li Bai (70 1-762) is one of the great poets in the history of China. The reason why he can write thousands of poems for the people is mainly the result of his long-term hard study and diligent study. Of course, it has something to do with family education.
Li Bai's father is a man of great literary accomplishment. When Li Bai was just sensible, he once heard his father reading Zixu Fu in the study. Beautiful words fascinated Li Bai. At first, my father thought he didn't understand. Later, my father found that whenever he read a poem, Li Bai went to his father's side, stared at him and listened carefully. Sometimes, with the ups and downs of his father's feelings, he expresses sadness and joy. So his father left him to study and recite in the study. Li Bai spent almost every day in his study when he was young.
Under the education of his father, Li Bai 15 years old began to learn to write articles and poems, "reciting the Six Classics at the age of 5" (referring to the 60-year-old who calculated the date of birth) and "10 years old read hundreds of books" (referring to hundreds of books). His earliest works, Xi Fu, Tang Ming Fu and Da Fu, have been valued by writers.
Li Bai is so enterprising that he even has the ambition to surpass Sima Xiangru. In order to make himself a learned man, he made a great determination to live in Qingcheng Mountain near Chengdu with a good friend, concentrate on reading, read widely and study poetry and calligraphy. He studied hard in Qingcheng Mountain for several years and never walked around the city.
However, Li Bai, a teenager, did not waver in his studies. When studying in Xiangershan, Meizhou, Sichuan, he couldn't adapt to the hardship and tension of his studies. He wants to give up halfway and be a free-roaming prodigal son. One day, when he left Xianger Mountain and was walking to the river at the foot of the mountain, he met a gray-haired old lady Wu squatting by the river to grind the iron pestle. Li Bai was very surprised. He went up to ask the aunt what she was doing. Aunt Wu pointed to the iron oak and said, "I want to grind it into a needle." Li Bai thought grandma was making fun of him, but he didn't believe her and asked. "Can such a thick pestle be ground into a needle?" The old lady said meaningfully to Li Bai, "As long as you work hard, the iron pestle is ground into a needle." Li Bai felt puzzled and was filled with emotion. He meditated alone by the river for a long time and got great inspiration from it. So, he walked firmly into the mountain again, determined to continue to return to the mountain.
Since then, "the iron pestle is ground into a needle" has become Li Bai's motto. In this spirit, he has been asking himself to "read thousands of books". Because of this, his later poems can reach the level of handy and interesting.
Three difficult stories to read
The serious and hard stories of ancient people such as Wang Xizhi, Jia Dao and Zhang Qian.
1; Mo Chi Wang Xizhi
Wang Xizhi, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, created a beautiful and fluent calligraphy font, which is called "the saint of calligraphy". He began to practice calligraphy at the age of seven. There is a pool in front of Wang Xizhi's house, where he washes his brush every time he practices calligraphy. Twenty years later, he washed the clear pool in front of his door black every day. Later, people called this swimming pool "Mo Chi". Allusions to "Mo Chi".
2; Jia Dao's Bitter Poems
Jia Dao became famous not because of his heroism, but because of his bitterness. The most familiar allusion to "censorship" comes from this public institution. There is no doubt that it is much better to write the sentence "The monk knocks on the moon" than to write "The monk pushes the door on the moon". This has almost become one of the most common examples of exquisite writing. However, knowing the basic skills of such "scrutinizing" words, can you still complain about poets? The problem is certainly not that simple. Otherwise, it is too easy to become a great poet.
In fact, Jia Dao spent a lot of time refining ideas, sentences and words. All these are inseparable from the ideological and contemporary nature of the works. First of all, we can see that Jia Dao worked very hard to cultivate his mind, so his works have a fascinating artistic conception. If you write a poem with poor artistic conception and light taste, no poem is better than no interest. With a good artistic conception, we must also ensure that this artistic conception can be fully expressed in words.
Every poem and sentence of Jia Dao has been repeatedly tempered and carefully revised. But after he wrote it, the reader couldn't see the trace of revision at all, as if it were completely natural and in one go. It can be seen that the so-called bitter songs can only be said from the author's hard work. As for the aspects that readers appreciate, don't see the author's pain.
Jia Dao has many works to prove this point. For example, the poem "Crossing the Sanggan River" wrote: "It has been ten frosts for the guest house and the state, and I miss Xianyang day and night. Crossing the river is even more unreasonable, but I hope Bingzhou is my hometown. "The meaning of this poem is very tortuous, but the words are very simple. This makes it poetic and implicit, allowing readers to chew its meaning repeatedly. If you use more words once or twice, write out all its meanings, and it will be boring to read. There are too many examples like this in Jia Dao's works.
3; Zhang Pu recorded seven records and burned them seven times.
Zhang Pu, a native of Taicang, was a famous writer in Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Pu was self-motivated and studious since he was a child. Every time he reads a book, he must copy it himself first, read it aloud after copying it, and then burn it. Then copy, reread and burn. A classic article must be done six or seven times before it is willing to give up. Because Zhang Pu has to copy every article seven times, where his right hand holds the pen, his fingers and palms are thick cocoons. In winter, the climate is cold and dry, and the skin of fingers is frozen and cracked. Warm your hands with warm water before copying. He always warms himself with warm water several times a day.
Later, he named his study "Qi Lu Zhai", and his life's work was also called "Qi Lu Zhai Ji".
