Li Bai's ambitious poems

The cost of pure wine is a gold cup, 10 thousand copper coins and a hip flask, and I am ashamed of 10 thousand yuan. I threw the food bar and cup aside. I couldn't eat or drink. I pulled out my dagger. I peeped in four directions in vain. I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow. I will sit on a fishing rod and lean lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream of sailing a boat towards the sun. It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, there are many roads, where is Ann now? One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross the sea. Vernacular translation: Jinbei famous wine, per barrel 1000 yuan; The exquisite dishes in the jade plate are worth 10 thousand yuan. I feel depressed in my chest. You can't eat without drinking. Draw your sword and look around, my heart is really at a loss. Want to cross the Yellow River, ice and snow blocked the river; If you want to climb Taihang Mountain, the vast snow has already closed the mountain. Like Lushang Yuxi, waiting for a comeback; Like Yi Yin's dream, he sailed through Japan. How difficult it is to travel in the world, how difficult it is; With so many roads in front of me, should I go from north to south? I believe that one day, I can ride the wind and waves; Hang Yun Fan high and move forward in the sea! This is the first book in Three Difficult Walks written by Li Bai. Judging from the content, this group of poems should be written by Li Bai when he left Chang 'an in Tianbao Sanzai (744). The first four sentences of this poem are about friends who, out of deep friendship for Li Bai and regret that such a genius was abandoned, spared no expense in hosting a farewell banquet. Li Bai, who is naive in drinking, will certainly "drink 300 cups at a time" because of this fine wine, delicious food and the hospitality of his friends. However, this time he picked up the cup and pushed it away. Pick up chopsticks, but leave them behind. He left his seat, drew his sword, looked around and lost his mind. The four continuous movements of stopping, throwing, pulling and caring vividly show the inner depression and emotional agitation. Then the two sentences are followed by "hollow" and "difficult to walk" is written in front. The poet used "ice blocking the river" and "snow covering the mountain" to symbolize the difficulties and obstacles on the road of life, which has a comparative meaning. A man with great political ambitions was called to Beijing and was lucky enough to get close to the emperor, but the emperor could not appoint him. He was expelled from Chang 'an in disguised form by the "reward for returning to the mountain". Isn't this just like the Yellow River encountering ice and Taihang Mountain encountering snow? However, Li Bai is not that kind of cowardly character. From the beginning of "drawing a sword and looking in all directions", it shows that he is not willing to be depressed and will continue to pursue it. "I will sit on a fishing rod and lazily lean against the stream, but I suddenly dream of driving a boat and sailing towards the sun." In a daze, the poet suddenly thought of two figures who did not go well politically at first, but made great achievements in the end: one was Lu Shang, who was fishing in Panxi at the age of 90 and met King Wen; One is Yi Yin. Before he was hired by Tang, he dreamed that he was sailing around the sun and the moon. Thinking about the experiences of these two historical figures increased the poet's confidence. "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, a lot of roads, is it safe now?" The meeting between Lu Shang and Yi Yin certainly increased his confidence in the future, but when his thoughts returned to the present reality, he once again felt that the road to life was difficult. Looking forward to the future from the banquet, I only feel that the road ahead is rugged and there are many mistakes. Where is the road? This is another feeling in sharp and complicated contradictions. But Li Bai, who is stubborn and confident, never wants to show his discouragement at the farewell party. His strong demand for active use of the world finally freed him from the depression of drifting again and sang a strong voice full of confidence and prospects: "Ride the wind and waves, go straight to my Yun Fan and bridge the deep and deep sea!" He believes that although there are many obstacles ahead, one day, as Zong Yi said in Liu Song, he will ride the wind and waves, hang up the Yun Fan, cross the sea and reach the ideal shore. This 14-sentence poem with 82 words can only be regarded as a short poem among the seven-character poems, but it has a long momentum pattern. One of the important reasons is that it reveals the ups and downs and complex changes of the poet's feelings in a hundred steps. At the beginning of the poem, "Golden Wine" and "Jade Plate and Precious Shame" make people feel like a happy banquet, but the following two details, "Quit drinking and throw chopsticks" and "Draw a sword and look around", show a strong impact of emotional waves. In the middle four sentences, I just sighed "the ice jam in Sichuan" and "the snow all over the mountains", and suddenly it took a thousand years, as if I saw Lu Shang and Yi Yin suddenly being reused by the monarch from their humble positions. The poet's psychological disappointment alternates rapidly with hope, depression and pursuit. "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, a lot of roads, is it safe now?" The four sentences with short rhythm and strong jumping are completely inner monologues in an anxious state, forcing Xiao to convey the complex psychology of wandering back and forth and continuing to explore and pursue without evidence. At the end of the sentence, after several twists and turns, the realm was suddenly enlightened, and I sang a high-pitched and optimistic tone, believing that my ideals and ambitions would be realized one day. Through such ups and downs of feelings, it not only fully shows the suppression of the poet's grand ideals and ambitions by the dark and dirty political reality, but also reflects the poet's strong inner repression, anger and the injustice caused by it, and at the same time highlights the poet's stubbornness, self-confidence and persistent pursuit of ideals, showing the poet's powerful spiritual strength in trying to get rid of repression. This poem is influenced by Bao Zhao's quasi-theme and expression, but shine on you is better than blue. Their poems all reflect the suppression of talents by feudal rulers to a certain extent, but due to the reasons of the times and the poet's spiritual temperament, Li's poems are more profound and intense, and at the same time, they also show positive pursuit, optimistic self-confidence and tenacious adherence to ideals. Therefore, compared with Bao Zheng, Shi Li's ideological realm is higher.
