[Interpretation] How can I bow down and serve dignitaries so that I can't laugh? These two poems express the rebellious spirit of the poet's contempt for powerful people. The style is bold and unconstrained, and the words are splendid. The yearning for the famous mountains and fairyland stems from the struggle against the powerful, singing the voice of the repressed talents and despising the feudal rulers. Flattery will make you lose your personality.
Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars into Wan Li. -Tang Li Bai "On Li Yong"
[Interpretation] One day, the Dapeng bird flew downwind and went straight to the sky in Wan Li like a whirlwind. The poet compares himself with Dapeng, thinks highly of himself and exaggerates his writing, which constitutes a magnificent momentum and sets off the poet's grand ambition. Now it is used to express ambition, and then keep making progress and display your talents. Dapeng: the legendary big bird. Rotation: a whirlwind from bottom to top.
Like the lotus of water, it has the nature of nature.
-Tang Li Bai's "After the chaos, Tian En Liu Yelang billion old books were given to Jiang Taishou, good slaughter"
[Interpretation] Like a hibiscus flower just coming out of clear water, it is simple and beautiful, without carving and decoration. Metaphor literary works should be as natural and fresh as hibiscus water. These two poems praised Wei Taishou's natural and fresh articles, and also expressed his own views on poetry, advocating pure beauty and nature-this is the style of articles advocated and pursued by Li Bai, and opposing decorative carving. The same is true of Li Bai's own works, and later generations often quote these two sentences to evaluate Li Bai's works.
Oh, ask this river flowing eastward, whether it can go further than the love of friends! ? -Don Li Bai's parting in a hotel in Nanjing
[Interpretation] Excuse me, running water flowing east. Who is longer and shorter than parting? The poem shows the deep friendship with friends who bid farewell, and writes endless feelings of leisure with implicit brushwork.
Since God has given talents, let them be used! As for the money, although it is scattered, it will get together again. -Tang Li Bai's "Into the Wine"
[Interpretation] The previous sentence shows a high degree of confidence in one's talents. It is not rhetoric, but the natural expression of positive and enterprising spirit. This is ambition; The last sentence shows that in order to realize your ambition, you should make friends with people of insight, give generously to your friends, despise wealth to support justice, and spend money like water. This is lofty sentiments. Poetry tells us that everyone is a useful material, so we should cherish it and not sell ourselves short.
