Baidi City was released in advance.
Tang Libai
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
In the spring of 759 AD, Li Bai was exiled to Yelang because of the Li Lin case in Wang Yong, passing through Chongqing. When I arrived in Baidicheng, I suddenly received the news of pardon. Sad and happy, he immediately went to Jiangling by boat. This poem was written when the author returned to Jiangling, so it was also titled "Xiajiangling".
1, people are old people, and the heart is the heart of teenagers.
The whole poem has a lively rhythm and carefree feelings, and there is no sense of stagnation and obscurity. Many people who don't know the writing background are mistaken for this poem, which shows that Li Bai had great confidence in the future on his way to Chang 'an when he was young, such as me.
I didn't know anything about the background of this poem when I was a child, but I envy Li Bai for leaving Bai Di in the early morning to go to a wider world.
In the early morning light, Li Bai waved goodbye to Baidicheng floating among the colorful clouds, which made people envious, as if they could smell the fragrance of the soil in the humid air in the morning. In the early morning, the apes on both sides of the strait are particularly romantic, as if to send the whites away one by one. Unconsciously, the relaxed Li Bai has set sail, crossed the mountains and disappeared into the foggy river. However, Li Bai's hearty laughter echoed in the air, and the poems scattered on the water were pecked away by the fish in a short time.
Judging from the image of "ape sound" alone, what we read from Du Fu's poem "The apes crow in the sky and the birds return to the white sand in the blue lake" is his helplessness and depression in his later years. What we feel from Li Daoyuan's "The Five Gorges in Badong Three Gorges are long, and the apes cry three times in tears" is gloomy and terrible. The "ape sound" naturally has a bitter emotional tone.
However, Li Bai just doesn't play cards and write poems according to common sense. His ape sounds are those stained with Li Bai's romantic color. So it doesn't sound sad, only happy and carefree.
Li Bai's boyhood has always lived in his heart, and his youthful spirit has been completely preserved in his poetry creation career. Everything is sentimental, and everything is stained with Li Bai's boyhood.
Throughout Li Bai's life, he and his poems are synonymous with freedom and romance.
It's not that he hasn't suffered, but he has separated suffering from freedom in his life. He never refused to accept suffering, but he never lost his freedom and romance, and he was always naive and unrestrained. Even in his later years, Li Bai did not change his original intention after suffering, and his poetry was still leisurely.
Didn't Li Bai feel pain? Du Fu, who looked up to him, recorded Li Bai's sufferings, such as "people in our capital are nosy, but you are lonely, helpless and poor", "poets should beware of prosperity, but demons can trouble a vagrant" and "the whole world wants to kill people, but I only care about talents". I think Li Bai's own pain is enough to write a poem!
But Li Bai himself kept silent about the pain.
Poetry, as the only comfort, repaired and cured Li Bai's frustrated and injured soul. So I found that Tao Yuanming and Li Bai are actually very similar. They carefully hide the cruel reality and always express their faith and desire for truth, goodness and beauty. Both of them love to drink, and wine often appears in their poems, but the wine in their poems is not used to vent and accuse, but to relieve anxiety and heal!
Tao Yuanming was really sad when he wrote the poem "Son of Responsibility", but he still couldn't bear to scold and complain. None of the five sons likes reading and is not good at writing. It's really nerve-racking, either lazy or insatiable, but he just doesn't frankly think it's God's will! The image of a father who chose to lie flat is vividly on the paper, and he can't help laughing when he looks at it.
We can only read endless freedom and romance in Li Bai's poems, and only read the leisure and leisure of farming life in Tao Yuanming's poems. This is the poet's intention and our nature.
In them, there is no change in poetic style, and there is no imitation and transcendence. The unique life experience has created a unique way of poetry creation.
They have never tried to lead a certain style of poetry, because their personality and poetry are the style itself, so it is futile for anyone to learn their poetry style.
2. Letting go of persistence is the real persistence.
Persistence is actually a bisexual word.
Perseverance, on the one hand, is synonymous with positive and enterprising, and it is a brave struggle to achieve a certain goal. Li Bai has been trying to be an official all his life, and he is stubborn. Even if "I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow", he still resists his fate.
If Li Bai can give up his obsession and choose another track when he first realizes his lack of political talent, will he achieve another career and rewrite a different life? But, ah, it's hard to admit his failure. With Li Bai's mind and experience at that time, I think he will do it again, and he will still listen to his heart and make the same choice.
History will not change or be rewritten.
However, isn't giving up another kind of persistence?
Sometimes you choose to compromise, in fact, in order to let go of yourself and reconcile with the world. After all, life goes on, and people should survive first, and then talk about distant ideals. It is lucky to be able to realize your ideal, but can you only realize your ideal if you fail in life?
It is not easy to admit that life is full of regrets, because it may herald the disillusionment of ideals. But I finally understand that for Li Bai, the long and bumpy life was Chung Shan Man. In fact, everyone's life, how can there be no regrets?
Have you let go of your past regrets?
The long road of life, the so-called regret is actually only part of the experience. The life we are going to experience is a process of constant interweaving of emotions.
People and things I thought I couldn't get through were finally locked up yesterday. I just think of it occasionally, and then smile indifferently.
Those deep or shallow wounds, leave time to heal!
The purpose of Li Bai and Tao Yuanming's poems is to tell the world how difficult life is, but, ah, we still have to choose to look for light in the dark, to be the masters of our own lives, to challenge the suffering without hesitation and to overcome our inner fears. Even if the final challenge fails, the experience is precious, and we will finally appreciate the sudden opening of "The Canoe has crossed Chung Shan Man".
Never tire of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain. Life is like a mountain. Isn't it the meaning of living to look at suffering and let go of obsession?
