analysis:
Li Bai and Li Shangyin are excellent at writing poems, but they are equally retarded politically. Li Bai was involved in the exile of Yongwang Li Lin Group for no reason, but fortunately he was pardoned later. Li Shangyin was trapped in the struggle between Niu and Li all his life. Unfortunately, no matter who was in power, Li Shangyin didn't have a chance to make a difference, and neither Niu nor Li regarded him as one of their own.
Li Shangyin's poems are not easy to see "ambition", which is diffuse and perplexed. "mermen weep their pearly tears down a moon-green sea, blue fields are breathing their jade to the sun", this is the ultimate realm, which is both a "physical environment" and a "state of mind"; It is both objective and subjective. Li Shangyin is somewhat aesthetic. He can turn sadness, disappointment, confusion and even decadence into something very beautiful. There are many negative things in life, just like a virus. For most people, it poisons the spirit, but after aesthetic treatment-just like the virus is cultivated and diluted-it is no longer poisonous but something that enriches your spirit, which can enhance your immunity. Li Shangyin is different from others. He likes to express his saddest emotions in noble and complicated languages such as "gold" and "jade". Without this kind of "immunization" treatment, it is like encountering a very sad thing as soon as you go out, such as the death of a good friend, or a car accident, or a person hanging in front of your eyes, you will feel very unlucky and feel depressed all day. However, it is different after "immunization". Similarly, when you go out for a funeral, if the mourner asks you to revise a very beautiful poem to mourn the dead, your love for words and chapters will alleviate your pain of death and make it more tolerable. In Li Shangyin's poems, what we read is neither Du Fu's benevolence, nor Li Bai's optimism, generosity, romance and boasting, but a diffuse pursuit of beauty. Here's a quote from Liang Qichao's comments on Li Shangyin's poems: "I don't care what Yishan's poems such as Jinse, Bicheng and Shengnu Temple say. Take it apart and ask me to explain it sentence by sentence. I can't even solve the meaning. But I think it is beautiful, and reading it makes me feel fresh and happy. It should be noted that beauty is multifaceted and beauty is mysterious. "
Li Bai's well-known poems show some spiritual trends. Such as "since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!, spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!!" A little boastful-Li Bai likes to talk big, and it's not bad to talk big, which won't harm others, nor will it bring him a false name and much benefit. There are a lot of boasting in China's poems, which is related to the concept of "poetry expressing ambition"-the bigger the ambition, the better, not the smaller the better. These two poems are optimistic and confident. Actually, "since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!" is a kind of life, "I was born useless" is also a kind of life, "I was born useless" is also a kind of life, "I was born even more unlucky" is also a kind of life, "I was never born with two lives" is also a kind of life, and "a poet should beware of prosperity" is also a kind of life, but it will be useful to Li Bai. This big talk is very good and inspiring. Li Bai's poems often express such things, such as "the bones of great writers are your brushes, in the School of Heaven, and I am a Lesser Xie growing up by your side". We both are exalted to distant thought, want to go to the sky to embrace the bright moon "; "Laugh at the sky and go out. Are we Artemisia people?" It is even more boastful. In fact, he is not a Artemisia people, and he is similar to Artemisia people. He did not see through this.
