1. The creative background of Sitting Alone in Jingting Mountain
Zhan E's "Li Bai Shi Nian" was written in the 12th year of Tianbao (AD 753). It is considered to be a work of Deng Jingting's looking south and recalling the past, as a gift to Dou Zhushu. Some people also put forward different views, thinking that the writing year of this poem is not indicated in Li Bai's manuscript, and that this poem was written in Tianbao 12 years is only the conclusion drawn by later generations. It is more likely that this poem was written in Tang Suzong in the second year of last Yuan (76 1).
2. Appreciation of Jingting Mountain sitting alone
The first two lines of this poem, "Birds fly high, and lonely clouds go to leisure alone", seem to describe the scene in front of us, but in fact they have written all the sad feelings: several birds fly high in the sky until they disappear; There is still a white cloud in the vast sky, but I don't want to stay and drift away slowly, as if everything in the world is rejecting poets. Mainly for the writer to sit alone at the moment and feel carefree, which is in line with Li Bai's own immortal thought.
Three or four sentences, "Never tire of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain", personify Jingting Mountain in a romantic way. Although the bird flew away, the poet didn't go back, and he didn't want to go back. He stared at the quiet and beautiful Jingting Mountain for a long time and felt that Jingting Mountain seemed to be looking at himself affectionately. There is no need to say anything between them, and they have reached emotional communication.
In the poet's pen, Jingting Mountain has no beautiful mountains, no beautiful streams and no beautiful bridges. It is not that there is nothing to write about Jingting Mountain, because Jingting Mountain "faces Wanxi in the east and the city in the south, sailing in the vast market with picturesque scenery". From the perspective of poetry, it is impossible to know the position of the poet relative to the mountain, perhaps at the top of the mountain or in the open area, but these are not important. The purpose of writing this poem is not to praise the scenery, but to express helplessness through the scenery.
The poet found solace in the anthropomorphic Jingting Mountain and seemed to feel less lonely. However, it is here that the poet's inner loneliness is more prominent. The deep loneliness in the world and the tragic atmosphere of the poet's life are full of the whole poem. The whole poem seems to be full of scenery, but it has no emotion. However, because scenery is composed of emotions, although every sentence is a scenery, every sentence is an emotion.
