It is conceivable that the main theme and tone of the prosperous Tang Dynasty are bold and unrestrained, and Li Bai is the master of this rhythm! ! For example, "Three cups are infinite, and the five mountains are light", "Doubt is that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days", "How does the water of the Yellow River move to the sky", "Everything is immortal like water flowing eastward" and "Three thousands of feet white hairs" and so on-the stars of the five mountains are moved to the sky with applause! -In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, no second person had such boldness of vision! ! Even a frontier poet who can be compared with it can't write such an exciting poem, but it is a well-behaved description of the environment, and it still lags far behind Li Taibai in lyricism! ! Just like Mencius said that he "has something to say, but he should also give it"-"Is it too white to be lyrical?" ! -Li Bai can be said to be the truly exquisite beauty of heaven and earth bred in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Every time he makes a sound, it is natural, such as the water lotus-"the article is natural, and the skillful hand is occasionally obtained". Every time he makes a sound, it must be the strongest sound in the prosperous times! !
"Since god gave talent, let it be hired! , spin a thousand silver, all come back! " This is Li Taibai's confidence; "Go out laughing, are we Artemisia people?" This is Li Taibai's madness. Once the opportunity to realize his ideal comes, Mr. Taibai will be high-spirited and cocky. "The sound of the iron drum in front of the car is still shocking, and the blood of the golden knife is not dry." The heroic boy with the horizontal knife immediately jumped onto the paper, which is what fascinated Taibai. "Five flowers and horses, thousands of gold and jewels, give them to the boy for good wine, and share the eternal sorrow with you." Taibai was as heroic as a rainbow all his life. Even when he is full of sadness, he can feel the heroism in his works.
"Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." "I climbed up. I look at the whole world, and the vast rivers can't go. The yellow cloud was blown away by the wind for hundreds of miles, and a snow peak was surrounded by a vortex with nine times the current. " "The bright moon rises from the mountains in the sky, in the infinite haze of the sea of clouds. Thousands of miles to the wind, blowing Yumenguan battlements. " This is the Datang Jiangshan in Taibai's eyes. The magnificent scenery of nature is vividly depicted. Only Li Bai can have such a magnificent and romantic imagination, just like a wild and unruly river.
"How does the water of the Yellow River move into the sea and never return?" In Li Bai's eyes, the water of the Yellow River falls from the sky and rushes on, flowing with his genius and lofty sentiments. Li Bai's spiritual world is very strong, full of youthful freedom and passion.
Dapeng Bird is a classic image in Li Taibai's poems, a subjective projection of Taibai personality and a symbol of individual free will and strength. In Zhuangzi's Happy Travel, there is a saying: "There are fish in the north, named Kun. Kunda, thousands of miles away. Become a bird. Its name is Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles away. Fly away in anger, and its wings hang like clouds. " In Li Bai's view, Dapeng's song turned into a youthful rock: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars in Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. "
At the last moment of his life, Li Bai still called himself Dapeng in his swan song "Near the Luge Pavilion": "Big Pengfei, eight generations of shock, the sky is weak. I am excited by the lingering wind, swimming in hibiscus and hanging stones. Later generations spread this, who will cry when Zhong Ni dies? " The "Eight Dynasties" in the poem "Eight Dynasties in Xi Town, Peng Fei" is from all directions. This is singing that he is flying high in the sky like a Dapeng bird, and its momentum is shocking in all directions.
Li Bai's life is a poetic life, and it is also a life of walking on clouds; Like Dapeng flying high, and like a powerful and unconstrained style, acting alone. Of course, it's also a bit like Tang who fights windmills across swords. Don Quixote begins with a comedy of "laughing at the sky and destroying the earth", but at the end it shows the tragic meaning of "the sky is weak in destroying the earth".
When Li Bai first arrived in Chang 'an, He Zhangzhi praised him as a "fallen fairy". Du Fu even has a poem praising the cloud: "The pen falls and shakes the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry." "Li Bai fights wine poems and sleeps in Chang 'an Restaurant. The son of heaven called instead of boarding the boat, claiming that he was Brewmaster. "
Li Bai's poetry is elegant and unrestrained. This stems from the poet's magnificent, magical and flying imagination, which is overwhelming and has super artistic appeal and auditory shock. Reading Li Bai's poems sometimes reminds me of reading Zhuangzi and Nietzsche. I feel dizzy in the sunshine at high latitude, I feel excited or intoxicated by Dionysus carnival. Even, it is sometimes associated with Beethoven's fate and ode to joy.
In fact, there is another side in Li Bai's poem that is very similar to Mozart or Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky: "There is such bright light at the foot of my bed, is there frost already?" . Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " This is a poem that we read and recited when we were very young. Li Bai is a lonely wanderer with a soft heart at this time. Homesickness is a cold and lonely silvery white, a path lightly covered with frost and dew leading to a distant place, and a moonlight shining on the lonely shadow of a wanderer all the way.
"Emei Mountain is half moon and half autumn, reflected in Pingqiang River" and "I am worried about the bright moon, and I will follow you to Yelangxi". The moon represents the purity and loneliness of Li Bai's spiritual world, symbolizes Li Bai's inner peace and tranquility, is an eternal homesickness in the cultural sense, and embodies a sense of loneliness beyond time and space. This kind of loneliness is particularly profound and broad for Li Bai, who is naturally sensitive. Reading this poem on a moonlit night will make you feel the light music of "Serenade", and your heart is filled with an adagio like a song.
"Since from a pot of wine among the flowers, no parents. Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us ",which is the loneliness and loneliness of genius." The garden was quiet in the middle of the night, only the wind was singing softly. On this charming night, "but there was still a time when I had these friends who cheered for me at the end of spring." I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. My shadow is rolling in the back. Drinking flowers alone and inviting the moon to dance is a lonely and romantic night on the outskirts of Chang 'an.
In Li Bai's eyes, moonlight can be bought on credit: "We buy wine and Bai Yunbian on Dongting Lake" and "We buy moonlight on Dongshan Mountain, and send a song to spring for one night"; When emotional, Taibai will "both of us hold high our thoughts in the distance and want to go to the sky to embrace the bright moon". When the wine was finished, they sang, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon!" " "I only hope that when the song is right for the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden urn." Even the Lushan Waterfall is so ethereal and beautiful in the moonlight, like a dream: "The sea breeze keeps blowing, and the moonlight shines on the river", "The bright moon rises from the mountain of heaven, in an infinite sea of clouds and haze. The wind, coming from thousands of miles, beats the battlements of Yumenguan "... The romantic moon in the Tang Dynasty is particularly charming because of Li Bai. It can be said that since the birth of Li Bai, Tang poetry has entered a magnificent realm. Probably no poet can be so full of moonlight as Li Bai, which makes people want to believe that his life is finally integrated with the bright moon. Therefore, we can say that when Li Bai died, the image of the moon in China culture was different.
There is a "Luo Wei scroll" in Li Bai's Du Lu Pian, which seems to be opened by someone. The bright moon is falling, and I have no intention of guessing. These four sentences are simply wonderful. Luo Wei unfolded gently, as if someone was opening and closing silently. Is the breeze coming? No, the bright moonlight came in. The bright moon, like a beauty with tiny steps, came quietly. Li Taibai and she seem to be old friends, but when they meet again, they have a tacit understanding. She is light and pure, spotless; And he has nothing to do with it, and he has a heart. It turns out that the bright moon is my heart and my heart is the bright moon.
Seeing the bright moon, it's too white, just like seeing your heart and soul as ice and snow. This independent soul dancer dances with the bright moon above the sky, surrounded by the purity and light of the glass world. For this world, he is as naive as the bright moon, like a lively young man. He has no mind, no suspicion, never tires of looking at each other, and his heart is as full as the moon.
"The bright moon goes straight in, with no intention of guessing", which is Li Bai's dust-free Zen poetry. Just like a violet, a bright full moon in the sky. Yes, the bright moon is straight in, and I have no intention of guessing. A clear and bright soul meets us through words. We might as well hold Taibai's poems in our hands, watch the green mountains and the bright moon alone, and laugh at the splash.
As the western proverb says, "For a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets." In fact, Li Bai is the same for China people. Regarding the image of Li Bai, I think Hao Wei's description is the most vivid. This guy is a die-hard fan of Li Bai. When he was young, he traveled more than 3,000 miles to find Li Bai for idolatry. He said Li Bai: "My eyes are bright, I am hungry like a tiger, or I am tied up sometimes, and I am romantic." But his clothes are a little dirty, sometimes wearing a high cloud crown, and the accessories are long enough to mop the floor. Isn't this the image of a poet who flies high and overlooks the world of mortals? This is Li Bai.
His poetic thoughts are erratic, open and closed, his language is extremely explosive and elastic, and his image combination has a strong aesthetic feeling. Du Fu's works praised: "Being fresh in starting a government, Jun Yibao joined the army", "The pen fell in shock and rain, and poetry made the gods cry"; In the late Tang Dynasty, Pi Rixiu once commented on Li Bai: "When you talk about heaven and earth, you think of ghosts and gods. When you read them, you will be attracted by octupole. If you measure them, you will have four hearts and be aboveboard. What is really not secular is Li Taibai. " Praise: "Zhang Ruole is in the wild of Dongting, headless and tailless, unfamiliar with old habits, which no one can mention." Yan Yu called it "elegance".
Li Bai is neither imitative nor irreplaceable. Because there is only one prosperous Tang Dynasty. "Li Bai belongs to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Only a mother like the Tang Dynasty can cultivate a son like Li Bai. " This unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty needs Li Bai too much! Only Li Bai's arrogant and self-confident thoughts and personality, his personality style of making friends with princes and looking far, and his unparalleled knowledge and talent can shine with this special era! Without Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty would have fallen out of favor!
