The wine in the golden cup 1000 yuan a barrel, and the food in the jade plate 10000 yuan.
But my anxiety made me put down a glass of chopsticks and refused to eat. Pulled out his sword and looked around, feeling at a loss.
To cross the Yellow River, frozen rivers. If you want to climb Taihang Mountain, the mountains are covered with snow.
Recalling that year, when I was fishing in Panxi, I met a talented King Wen. Yi Yin is employed by Shang Tang.
How difficult is the road to life, how difficult it is, and where is the real avenue?
I firmly believe that the time will come, when I will sail and cross the blue sea and blue sky.
Appreciate:
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.
In the first four sentences of the poem, when Li Bai "gave money back", a friend sent him away.
Five or six sentences, "I want to cross the Yellow River, but the ice choked the ferry and I want to climb the snow-capped mountains." Write "It's hard to go" on the front. The poet used "Sichuan ice jam" and "full of snow" to symbolize the difficulties and obstacles on the road of life, which meant competition.
Seven or eight sentences: "I will sit on a fishing rod and lie lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream that I am 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 Shang 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.
The last paragraph "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, there are many 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.
Creation background
In 742 AD (the first year of Tianbao), Li Bai was called to Beijing as an academician. However, it was not reused by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was vilified and excluded by powerful ministers. Two years later, he was "repaid" and expelled from Chang' an in disguise. Li Bai was forced to leave Beijing, and all his friends came to see him off. There was no hope for the official position, and he felt the hardship of finding a job and wrote this article "Difficult to Go" with indignation.
