This poem is the jewel in the crown of poetry and one of Li Bai's most famous and important masterpieces. It is necessary to read this poem by the poet. Amazing eyes, beautiful scenery, and finally, "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials whose sincere faces will never be seen" is a famous sentence handed down from generation to generation. Whether it is a high official, a pawn, a romantic celebrity or a peerless genius, all of them are angry, and the courage of a person who writes big money rises from his bones. Perhaps, except for the emperor's old son, everyone in the world will sing for it, and it is true.
Scholars in past dynasties have highly appraised this poem, because it is about sleepwalking, so most of them take "dream" as the main line of understanding, and think that the author is using dreams as an excuse, especially adding the author's life scene at that time: Chang 'an was excluded by powerful people, exiled, and left the capital in grief. Therefore, poetry is in a dream, showing contempt for filthy reality and powerful people, yearning for a free life beyond fame and fortune, and heroic and sad. Modern people have added many changeable viewpoints with the brand of the times, claiming to be masterpieces of pursuing freedom of thought and liberation of personality. Although many analyses have been made on the artistic choice of this poem in the past dynasties, it is generally believed that the poetic immortals adopted exaggerated romanticism. For us, it has created a fascinating and magnificent realm beyond reality. Moreover, the plot is fictional, the imagination of the author's genius, and it has been strangely played out.
Perhaps most people will not have the magical experience of the author, so it is difficult to experience the transcendental realm. But most people's experience of dreams is almost fragmented, with vague plots and no color. Therefore, reading this poem by imagination also thinks that the poem is fictional, the plot is fictional, and it is the so-called artistic display.
In fact, this poem is good because the author shows us a real world. The appearance of this real world shocked even the author himself. Because it was so real and wonderful, the author came back from that world in a daze and realized life. The process is extraordinary. Because the author is really brought into a higher world than reality. This can be said to be a space different from our living environment. He recorded what he saw, heard, felt and realized with a pen. In the form of poetry. The whole poem is clear and not chaotic at all, showing us the spectacular strangeness of another space layer by layer. The author told us from the beginning: "A tourist who sails will talk about Japan, where the water and fog are hidden in inaccessible places." This kind of adventure can be met but not sought. Then he described his state when he entered that space: "flying over the mirror lake and the moon overnight" and "climbing the ladder of Yun Lan". Most people who have seen the case of human Yuan Shen entering another space in vitro know that this is an obvious feature, and they feel like they are flying, as light as a rainbow. Then a beautiful scene appeared: "a thousand stones turned to be uncertain, flowers lured me, and stones slowed me down." The day suddenly ended. " Just as he was intoxicated with the beautiful scenery in front of him, a more magnificent scene appeared: "God of thunder and lightning, hills and landslides, caves and stone gates, leaking into a sinkhole." Accompanied by thunder, Tianmen opened, the sky was blue, and the sun and the moon shone together. From there: "wearing rainbow clothes, riding the wind." "Row after row, like a hemp field, lined with fairy figures." The lively scene in the sky came to an abrupt end. "I moved, my soul flew, and I was suddenly shocked for a long time." After seeing the spectacular sight of the immortals queuing, they were sent back to the real world. At this moment, I sighed sadly. The so-called reality and happiness in the world are like a real dream. Everything on the earth is gone forever like running water. Let me say goodbye to this floating world. How to forget the essence of life for a little gain and loss in the secular world when you are ready to visit famous mountains and immortals at any time? This is why a person who will never suffer is shown a sincere face that is true. This poem is so magnificent, clear and fluent, not a catharsis of frustration. On the contrary, it was the poet who rediscovered the sublimation of his life after seeing the real and spectacular fairy world; It is a kind of relaxation after getting rid of secular fetters, and a kind of liberation after being suddenly enlightened: returning to nature and visiting immortals to practice. Modern people simply can't understand this sublimation of life, but think it is a passive avoidance. However, because everyone has a natural nature, you can get a shock when you read the last two sentences, because nature is awakened, not a cry of dissatisfaction.
Many poets have practiced it in the past. Therefore, in meditation or "dream", you can see the scene of another space. Li Bai was originally a monk. The so-called life frustration (reality) may be just the opposite at a higher level. Therefore, when he decided to bid farewell to the officialdom plagued by money and fame, he was doomed to show him the real fairy world or take care of his advanced life. It was only a matter of time when the scene of "taking the tiger as a violinist, the phoenix as a dancer, and an immortal as a hemp" appeared, and the author realized it. Because another space has a higher level and the scenery is more beautiful and realistic, this is also a reason why this poem is better and deeper. Just like the ancient medicine in China, the application of things from another space will have wonderful effects. There are many similar descriptions in China's ancient poems. Like "red apricot branches make trouble in spring", later generations all say that "trouble" is a good word. In fact, this "noisy" is also because the author reflects the real situation of another space he saw, so the realm has been sublimated. And Sleepwalking Without Borders is the representative of this kind of works.
