The Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran in Yangzhou is one of the masterpieces of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a farewell poem, with parting feelings and scenery. The first sentence points out the farewell place: Yellow Crane Tower, the first generation scenic spot; Write the time and destination of farewell in two sentences: the spring scenery of "Fireworks in March" and "Yangzhou" in the southeast; In three or four sentences, write a farewell scene: watch the lonely sail go away; Leaving only a spring. Based on the colorful and mottled fireworks in spring and the endless Yangtze River, this poem tries its best to render a farewell picture of the poet with open artistic conception, endless emotions, bright colors and charming feelings. Although this poem is a farewell work, it is elegant and smart, affectionate but not stagnant, meaningful but not sad, beautiful but not floating, and far-reaching rhyme.
Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou on this catkin-like, flowery March spring day.
The lonely sail shadow of my friend faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing a line of the Yangtze River, heading for the distant sky.
This farewell poem has its special emotional tone. It is different from Wang Bo's Farewell to Du Shaofu Shu Biography and Wang Wei's Farewell to Weicheng Qu, which is affectionate and considerate. This poem shows a poetic parting. The reason for saying this is because this is the parting of two romantic and chic poets, and also because this parting is linked with a prosperous time, a prosperous time and a prosperous region, and the poet Li Bai's yearning is also brought in in the happy parting, which makes this parting very poetic.
Li Bai's contact with Meng Haoran was just after he left Sichuan. At that time, he was young and happy, and the world in his eyes was almost as beautiful as gold. Meng Haoran, more than ten years older than Li Bai, has become famous for his poems. He gave Li Bai the impression that he was intoxicated with mountains and rivers, free and happy, so Li Bai said in the poem "Letter to Meng Haoran": "Master, I cheered you from my heart, and your reputation rose to the sky. In the rosy youth, you gave up the importance of hats and chariots and chose pine trees and clouds; Now, whitehead. " This parting is the prosperity of Kaiyuan and the prosperity of Taiping. This season is fireworks in March, and the spring is the strongest. From the Yellow Crane Tower to the Yangtze River, there are flowers all the way. Li Bai is such a romantic and sightseeing person, so this parting is completely carried out in a very rich atmosphere of whimsy and lyric poetry. There is no sadness or unhappiness in Li Bai's heart. On the contrary, he thinks Meng Haoran's trip is very happy. He yearns for Yangzhou and Meng Haoran, so when he says goodbye, his heart flies with him, and there is endless poetry in his chest. Seeing my friends off in the beautiful scenery is really a special taste in my heart. The beauty is pleasing to the eye, but parting is sad. Profound and implicit, just like moral, it has achieved the artistic effect of fascination and daydreaming.
The phrase "an old friend said goodbye to the West Yellow Crane Tower" is not only for the sake of making a point, but also because the Yellow Crane Tower is a world-famous scenic spot, which may be the place where two poets often get together and hang out. So when it comes to the Yellow Crane Tower, it brings out various poetic life contents related to it. The Yellow Crane Tower itself is also the legendary place where immortals fly to the sky, which is associated with Li Bai's idea of Meng Haoran going to Guangling happily this time, adding that kind of pleasant and imaginative atmosphere.
"Fireworks descend in Yangzhou in March", and the word "fireworks" was added to "March", smearing the atmosphere of that poem in the farewell environment. Fireworks refer to misty smoke and flowers. The reader's feeling is by no means a piece of land or a flower, but an invisible and impenetrable smoke cloud in spring. March is the season of fireworks, and the prosperous lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Kaiyuan era is the place of fireworks. Fireworks in March not only reproduces the charming scenery of the bustling place in late spring, but also reveals the flavor of the times. This sentence has a beautiful artistic conception and a beautiful writing style, and Sun Zhu of A Qing Dynasty praised it as "the eternal quatrain". Li Bai's desire to go to Yangzhou is beyond words.
"Sailing alone in the sky, I can see the Yangtze River flowing in the sky." The last two sentences of the poem look like landscape writing, but there is a poetic detail in landscape writing. Li Bai has been sending his friends to the boat, and the boat has already left, while he is still watching the sails in the distance by the river. Li Bai's eyes looked at the sail shadow until it gradually blurred and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, showing a long time to watch. The shadow of the sail has disappeared, but Li Bai still stared at it, and then he noticed that a river with spring water was flowing to the distant junction of water and sky.
"Just watching the Yangtze River flowing in the sky" is the scene in front of us, not just writing about the scenery. Li Bai's deep affection and yearning for his friends are all reflected in this poetic style. The poet's heart rises and falls, just like a stream of spring water rolling eastward. In a word, this poetic parting of two romantic and chic poets is another yearning parting of Li Bai, which vividly shows the vast picture of boating on the Yangtze River and the details of lonely sails in the distance with the gorgeous scenery in March.
