From 752 to 753 (the 11th and 2nd year of Tang Tianbao), Li Bai visited Mobei again after he visited Youzhou. He left Youzhou and went south to Wei County, then went north along Taihang Road to Yunzhong County, and then went north to Chandu Lake House to mourn Zhaojun's tomb and wrote "Two Poems by Wang Zhaojun". Because Li Bai is full of regret for Zhaojun's departure, the whole poem has a sad and sad atmosphere.
At the beginning of the first poem, the word "moon" is used to set off the sad theme of Zhao Jun's marrying the Xiongnu: the moon of the Han family in the Central Plains, and that glory follows Zhao Jun's marrying the Xiongnu. However, as soon as she set foot on the road to Yumenguan, it was like going to the end of the world and never coming back. The "moon" here represents the moon in my hometown, as well as my hometown and old country. However, a small Yumen Gate has blocked all this mercilessly. Looking back at the full moon in my hometown, I will disappear forever. This feeling of where you will go can't help but add a little melancholy.
Then the poet sighed sadly with the word "moon": the moon of the Han family will rise from the East China Sea tomorrow, and Zhao Jun will marry the West, but it will never return. This separation makes the poet feel helpless and hopeless, thus increasing his sad thoughts. The poet also mentioned Yanzhi Mountain. In the poet's view, the rouge mountain of Xiongnu is cold all the year round, with no vegetation, only falling snow to make flowers. Therefore, the poet imagined that Zhaojun married the Huns, and even the once beautiful beauty was haggard and old, and was buried outside the Great Wall by rolling yellow sand. The culprit of all this is the painter in the harem of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Jun had no harem painter gold before his death, leaving only a green grave after his death, which made future generations lament.
There is a legend about "waste maps". Zhaojun was once elected to the harem of Emperor Han Yuan and summoned as a court. At that time, other ladies-in-waiting bribed Mao Yanshou, a court painter, with gold in order to win favor at an early date, hoping to paint themselves beautifully and be selected by the emperor. Wang Zhaojun is the only one who thinks she is beautiful and doesn't want to pay bribes, so Mao Yanshou points a mole on her portrait. Zhaojun was banished to the cold palace for three years and had no chance to see him. Linking Zhao Jun's so-called "tragedy" with court painters, though far-fetched, can deepen the theme of sadness.
In the second song, Zhao Jun brushed his saddle and wept, and rode west. . "Jin" is still the imperial secretary of the Han Dynasty, and "Ming" is the wife and concubine of Hun Khan. According to Mr. Ding Qizhen, when the poet wrote the second poem, it seemed that he had nothing to lose, and he could barely finish a five-character quatrain, which was different from the five lines and ten sentences in the first poem.
The story of Zhao Jun leaving the fort has always been written on various subjects. Although Li Bai's two poems take the route of compassion, they are still touching to read.
