Author: Li Bai in Tang Dynasty
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.
Travel is hard. Travel is hard. Don't go astray! Where to go today.
One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross 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.
I will sit on a fishing rod to keep my balance and lie lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream of driving a boat and sailing towards the sun.
2. A letter from Dongting Lake to Prime Minister Zhang, an ancient poem that expressed initiative and hoped to be reused by the imperial court.
meng haoran
The autumn water rises and almost blends with the shore, mixing water and sky with the sky.
Ozawa's water vapor transpiration on the cloud soil is white, and the waves seem to shake the whole Yueyang.
I'm going to cross the water to find a boat and paddle. It's a shame to return home in the sacred age.
Sitting around watching other people's hard river fishing can only envy the fish caught in the fish.
"Dongting Lake to Premier Zhang" is a lyric poem, which is written euphemistically. The gate system in the Tang Dynasty was very strict, and ordinary intellectuals rarely got on the political stage. If intellectuals want to find a way out politically, they must ask for help from powerful people, write some poems and contribute, hoping to gain common sense, be recommended and promoted. In 733 AD, Meng Haoran traveled to Chang 'an, and when Zhang Jiuling became the prime minister of the imperial court, he wrote this poem and dedicated it to Zhang Jiuling, hoping that he would help himself.
