As a splendid cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, ancient poetry has blossomed for thousands of years after years of baptism and changes of the times, laying a solid foundation for the literary development of later generations.
Although thousands of years have passed, ancient poetry can be seen everywhere in our lives.
The greatest charm of ancient poetry lies in its profound artistic conception and infinite power. Although it is only a few short sentences, it contains a lot of feelings.
Throughout the dynasties, outstanding poets have emerged constantly, and they also have their own very popular styles.
Although the works of these literati are very different, they can purify our souls.
Especially in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, who has a high reputation, can soothe our hearts with his poems.
1, Li Bai
Li Bai was deeply influenced by Confucianism and Taoism when he was a teenager. Not only his poems are necessary, but also his fencing is unusual.
The area where Li Bai is located happens to be the place where Taoism prevails.
Therefore, Li Bai also has the great ambition to make contributions and the idea of living in seclusion, which makes his thoughts always contradictory.
When Li Bai was a teenager, he left his hometown alone and traveled all over the world with his sword.
Inadvertently, Li Bai met a respected Taoist priest, who was deeply respected by the emperor.
Li Bai was also very happy, and gave his poems to Taoist priests in the hope of being taught.
Taoist priests also appreciate Li Bai's talent and are even more amazed after reading his articles. He thinks that Li Bai is a talent he has never met for decades.
This makes Li Bai more confident to display his ambition in politics and be immortal.
Li Bai has traveled through many cities and more than half of China in his life.
It is precisely because of his immortal talent and self-knowledge that Li Bai's character is wild. He hopes to get a job through recommendation, but no one has ever appreciated his talent.
For a long time, Li Bai felt very depressed Fortunately, his personality is very free and easy, and Li Bai is still full of confidence in life.
Finally, Li Bai was recommended. After seeing Li Bai, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appreciated him very much, but Li Bai was not reused by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was only asked to worship the Hanlin.
Li Bai stayed in Chang 'an for three years, and gradually realized the corruption and darkness of the imperial court. Because those nobles were jealous of Li Bai's talent, they suppressed Li Bai everywhere. Finally, Li Bai was disappointed and left Chang 'an.
Li Bai's poems are magnificent and elegant, and his artistic achievements are very high.
At that time, in the Tang Dynasty, relegation of official positions often happened. After Wang Changling, a good friend, was demoted, Li Bai also wrote a poem "I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left and Long Biao Yao had this letter" and gave it to Wang Changling.
2. "I heard that Wang Changling left and moved to Longbiaoyao to send this."
This poem expresses Li Bai's deep affection for his friends. First of all, the first sentence points out the time, and by describing the scene in late spring, it renders a very bleak and desolate environment.
Here, Li Bai did not express his grief directly, but reflected the ups and downs of his friends in the sea of officials by describing the fall of Huayang.
I heard that you have been demoted, and you have to pass the fifth grade on the road.
This description seems to be a simple narrative, and it also implies the distance and hardship of friends' journey, which shows Li Bai's concern for friends.
The next meaning is that I pin all my troubles on the bright moon, hoping to accompany you to Yelangxi with the wind all the time.
This description turned the originally cold moon into my own emotional sustenance, and also expressed my sympathy for my friends.
Li Bai's poems not only have a very unique romantic spirit, but also the artistic techniques it expresses are amazing.
