The artistic achievements and influence of Li Bai's poems
Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai has a very distinct artistic personality, which is reflected in all aspects of poetry creation, and his artistic achievements are also multifaceted.
First, a strong subjective color.
Li Bai's poetic creation has a strong subjective color, which is mainly manifested in paying attention to expressing heroism and passionate feelings, and rarely describing objective images and specific events in detail. There is often "I" in Li Bai's poems, which presents a personality characteristic that others can't imitate. Such as: I am determined to delete the narrative, reflecting thousands of spring (the first part "Ancient Style"), "I didn't abandon the world, but the world abandoned me" (to Cai), "The road is as wide as the sky, and there is no way out in front of me" (the second part "Difficult to walk") and "I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. After my shadow rolled down "("Drinking the Moon Alone ").
Li Bai's poems often run through with unrestrained momentum, paying attention to galloping vertically and horizontally, in one go, and have the characteristics of winning people with qi. Such as "On Li Yong": "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and shakes Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. " Take Dapeng as an analogy, it is not a carefree Dapeng of Zhuangzi style, but a Dapeng who bravely flies and causes shock and surprise. In this extraordinary momentum, it embodies self-confidence and enterprising ambition and independent personality strength. The reason why Li Bai's poems shocked people through the ages is because, as he said in the poem "Songs on the River", "Xing Han put pen to paper, shook the five mountains, and the poem became a smile and proudly attracted Cangzhou." Free and easy temperament, arrogant and independent personality, approachable, and strong feelings come out of generate, which forms the distinctive features of Li Bai's lyric style. It is often explosive. Once the emotion is aroused, it gushes out without restraint, just like a raging and overflowing volcano in the sky. For example, "Singing to Send Cen" expresses indignation at the political darkness and the inversion of right and wrong: "Chickens gather for food, and chickens fly alone without neighbors. Laugh at the dragon and the fish will mix. Well-dressed, not paid. If the nest is shackled by the porch, it is also different from the dragon. " Sad and angry, impassioned. With the change of cadence and rhythm, we can trace the ups and downs of emotional eruption when emotional impulse occurs, which makes people feel the shock of the soul directly. Another example is "Answering the King on Twelve Cold Nights":
Last night, Wu Zhongxue, Ziyou became prosperous. Wan Li clouds roll the blue mountains, and the lonely moon flows through the sky. Lonely moon, surging river, Han Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. Beidou is strewn at random, Chang Geng Ming. Wine is late frost, and the jade bed is full of ice. Life wandering for a hundred years is bound to last forever. You can't learn cockfighting from the golden distance and sit and hum a rainbow. You can't learn from Shu Ge. You went to Qinghai at night with a knife and took the purple robe of Xitu Shi Bao. Poetry is not worth a glass of water in the north window. The world turned around after hearing the news, just like the east wind shooting at a horse. Fisheye also laughed at me and said they were like the bright moon. Get more than one bargained for, Hua Xiangquan, the donkey is proud of the spring breeze. "Zheyang" and "Huanghua" are popular, and Jin Jun listens to the piano and clears the angle. It is strange that Ba people are willing to be cheap with Yangchun and Chu Yuanyuan. If the gold runs out, you can't do it, and you will be looked down upon as Confucianism. When we talk about a smile, it loses its color and flies scream. Was it a murderer? Slander three and mother's shock. Talk to you and hold your hand, without honor or disgrace! Kong Sheng is still frightened, and Dong Long is a chicken and dog! A proud and bitter life is not harmonious, and the goodwill and goodwill of the media are better. Yanling respects the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Why does he need a long sword to stand on the jade steps? Zhiyuan is not expensive, and poverty is not sad. Han Xin was ashamed to compare with Jiang, and Mi Fei was ashamed to drive away Tu Gu 'er. If you don't go to Beihai, Li See, where is the heroic spirit? You don't look at Pei Shangshu, there are three feet of Artemisia spines in the earth grave! Teenagers have long wanted to go to the Five Lakes. Seeing this, I will spare Zhong Ding.
The whole poem focuses on loneliness and depicts the poet's self-image. At first, express strong and intense feelings like running water, and then burst into uncontrollable mood swings. This kind of emotional expression is completely Li Bai's style.
Second, the vagaries of imagination.
The imagination of Li Bai's poems is unpredictable, often unreasonable and strange, with a spontaneous wild spirit, such as: "How magnificent the Xiyue is! The Yellow River is like a silk sky. ..... People roar at two mountains, and Hongbo sprays the East China Sea. " ("Xiyue Yuntai Song Send Dan Qiu Zi") "The Yellow River falls into the East China Sea, and Wan Li writes it in his heart." (For Pei Fourteen) "Didn't you see the lovely locks in the mirror of the high hall? Although it was silky black in the morning, it turned into snow at night?" ("I will enter the wine") "White hair and three thousands of feet, sorrow is like a long beard." ("The Seventeen Songs of Qiupu", the fifteenth) "The ape makes white hair, and the length is silk." (Same as the fourth) "The wind blows my heart and hangs Xianyang trees in the west." (Jin Xiang sends Wei Ba to Xijing) I really want to fall from the sky, which is incredible.
Li Bai's peculiar imagination often has an unusual connection and changes with the flow of emotions. There is a great leap between one imagination and the next, and the combination of images is also large-span, bizarre and dreamy, changing vertically and horizontally, and as smart as possible. Such as "Sauvignon Blanc":
Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang 'an. A thin layer of frost shone like a small mirror on my cold cushion. High light flashing; My desire is getting deeper and deeper. I lift the curtain, sigh and stare at the moon. Like a single flower, with the cloud as the center, there is a high sky in the world. Below, I see the green and the agitation of water. The sky is high and the land is wide; My sadness permeates between them. Can I dream of crossing the mountain gate? . Sauvignon Blanc destroys the heart and soul.
Thirdly, the types of images and the tone of words.
Associated with verve and rich imagination, there are many magnificent images in Li Bai's poems, including mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon. He seems to be particularly attracted by huge and spectacular things. Dapeng, giant fish, long whales, rivers, seas and snow-capped mountains are all objects he likes to recite. Li Bai described them in an unusually broad spatial background, which constituted a magnificent poetic image. Like, "I climbed to the top. I have a panoramic view of the world "In" Lu Shan Ge Yu Shi Lu Xuzhou ",the rivers are boundless and there is no return. The three magnificent image combinations of "Huang Yun, Wan Li, Wind Blowing, Snow-capped peaks circling around, and Nine Heavenly Flows" give people a lofty feeling. Another example is seeing a friend off at Jingmen Ferry: "This is the end of the mountain, the beginning of the plain, and the river winds through the wilderness. The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces. "The image is also extremely broad and spectacular.
However, there are many fresh and beautiful images in Li Bai's poems, such as: "In the pedestrian mirror, in the bird screen." ("Qingxi Tour") "The green water is clear and the moon is bright, and the egrets fly to the moon." ("Song of Autumn Pus" (XIII) "The bamboo color under the stream is green, and the lotus flower is fragrant in the mirror." ("Don't save") "Her jade-white stairs were cold with dew, and her silk soles were wet. She lingered there for so long. Behind her closed window, why is she still waiting, looking at the glory of the autumn moon through the crystal glass? These beautiful images, which are composed of clear and clean scenery such as Qingxi, bright moon, egret, bamboo color and white dew, greatly enrich the artistic meaning of Li Bai's poems. So there are two kinds of images in Li Bai's poems: magnificent and beautiful.
(Transfer to Self-taught Examination 365)
Li Bai said in the poem "Looking at Nanshan to send a purple pavilion to send a hermit": "Sometimes white clouds rise and the sky unfolds. In my heart, I am not shallow. " He has an instinctive love for white transparent body, and the image of the moon appears repeatedly in Li Bai's poems. In Li Bai's poems, the most commonly used color word is "white", followed by gold, cyan, yellow, green and purple. He is cheerful by nature and prefers bright colors to dark ones. The language style of Li Bai's poems is fresh and lively, and hearty and lively is the basic tone of his words. His poems, which are blurted out and unadorned, often show transparency, purity and dazzling brilliance, reflecting his noble personality of rejecting secular identity.
