Bai Juyi, as a famous poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, was? Bai Yuan Poetry School? On behalf of, and? Han Meng Poetry School? Together, they led the new atmosphere of poetry at that time and made the poetry in the middle Tang Dynasty develop again. Bai Juyi's poems inherited Du Fu's realistic expression and paid more attention to reality. The characteristics of his poems can be summarized as follows: first, he emphasized the importance of poetry content; The second is to emphasize the practical function of poetry; Emphasize the emotional expression of poetry. There are 300 Tang poems, and Bai Juyi's poems account for seven, which is not particularly rare. There are also long poems such as Song of Eternal Sorrow. If we want to say the reason, it should be that Bai Juyi's poems are too closely combined with politics. First, emphasize the importance of the content of poetry In Bai Juyi's view, the form of poetry is by no means the first important thing. Rhythm and phonology should give way to the content of poetry, and there is no need to pursue any danger or complexity. Instead, it is necessary to express more appropriate poetic content and combine it with reality, so as to reach the realm of being easy to understand. This is also the characteristic of Bai Juyi's poems. His language is concise, not obscure and unpretentious.
Second, emphasize the practical function of poetry. In white poetry, it greatly develops the political function of poetry. What does it emphasize? Articles are written in time, and poems and songs are written in things? This is an excellent summary of his thoughts.
Under the guidance of this thought, Bai Juyi's poems include attacking current politics, satirizing the present through the ancient times, and understanding current affairs. However, this excessive attention to reality also devalues the artistry of poetry.
Third, emphasize the emotional expression of poetry. What are the two aspects that Bai Juyi thinks poetry should express? Love? And then what? Therefore, Bai Juyi attaches great importance to the emotional expression of poetry. Only with emotional perfusion can the whole poem have soul, charm and resonance.
