Li Bai's later years
In his later years, Li Bai was miserable, because he was the chief of staff of Wang Yong Lilin during the Anshi Rebellion, so after Su Li ascended the throne, Li Bai was almost killed. Although Li Bai finally escaped death because of the help of many people, he was exiled to Yelang. Although this period was miserable, Li Bai also took this opportunity to visit many places of interest. He visited Xia Ling and Jiangling and was later released halfway. He returned to Jiangxia from Dongting and transferred to Lushan, determined to concentrate on learning Taoism.
Although Li Bai's official career has been unsatisfactory, although he has been exiled several times, Li Bai has always held a heart to display his ambitions and help the country. Even when he was 6 1 year old, he saw Li Guangbi sending troops to suppress Shi Chaoyi and wanted to join the army, but he had to quit because of illness. Later, Li Bai came to Dangtu and lived in Li Yangbing. At this point, he was seriously ill. Although he has traveled, he is the last one. He left his masterpiece The Last Song.
It can be said that Li Bai's old age was very bleak, not only his political ideal could not be realized, but also his life was very difficult. Even many of his living expenses are funded by friends. What makes Li Bai helpless most is that his lifelong pursuit is to serve the country and show his ability to govern the country, but he has not been reused until his death. So he will create an old Dapeng of "conan the destroyer" in his last poem.
How many poems did Li Bai write? Li Bai is the most famous poet in the history of China literature. If literature is compared to a weapon, then Li Bai's poems and songs are the most gorgeous and free of all weapons. In his works, he shows his heart with a kind of confidence that ordinary people can't imagine.
Li Bai looks at the moon.
Throughout Li Bai's life, he wrote many poems, including more than 900, and now he has added some, about 1000, while Li Bai claimed to have 10000. I don't know if there are so many poems or rhetoric after Li baijiu, or if they are not written in my heart. Li Lao lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the Anshi Rebellion, so most of Li Bai's poems and songs are full of romance and heroism. Whether it is a seven-character quatrain or a five-character quatrain, it is a rare masterpiece in history and the greatest romantic poet in China.
Li Bai's poems are rich and widely circulated in his life. Here, I would like to introduce a most popular poem, Thinking of a Quiet Night. Probably any pupil can recite this poem. As one of the most popular poems in China, it is too simple, without complicated vocabulary and profound quotations. Simple words, like nursery rhymes, have touched countless adults. "The foot of my bed is shining with such bright light. Is it frosty already? "Li Bai sat on the bed with the moonlight shining on the ground. Maybe many people want to know why they can see the moon when they look up in bed. Is the house broken? In fact, Ma Weidou and others think that "bed" is not a bed now, but a long bench. Imagine that Li Bai is sitting on a bench, drinking wine, looking at the moon and thinking about his hometown. How poetic.
During the Tang Dynasty, especially in its heyday, many scholars liked drinking very much. For this reason, Du Fu personally created the famous Eight Immortals of Drinking, which mentioned the description of Li Bai's poems, "Li Bai's poems about fighting wine", and some people said it was "Li Bai's poems about fighting wine." Although there are different opinions, they all show that Li Bai is brilliant, and drinking and writing poems is even more famous in the world.
Li Bai drinks and writes poems.
Du Fu's "Song of Drinking" takes drinking as the theme, and contacted eight famous poets at that time, including He He, Zuo Prime Minister Li and so on. These people drink very much, even worse than Li Bai. So what Du Fu wants to focus on here is not whether Li Bai can drink, but Li Bai's poetic talent and heroism. Du Fu wrote, "There are hundreds of poems about fighting wine", and the time for drinking a barrel of wine can be written.
Look at Du Fu's description: "The son of heaven called instead of getting on the boat and called himself Brewmaster." When the emperor summoned him, he even got his clothes ready and went, saying it was Brewmaster. Is this a heroic act that ordinary people can do? It can be seen that Li Bai did not give in to the powerful and heroic. Li Bai just slept in a restaurant after drinking, which shows that he was relaxed and casual. The key point here is not how much Li Bai drank, but his talent of writing poems while drinking, and his free and easy heroism.
Then the problem is coming. Although the two statements have similar meanings, did Du Fu write "fighting" or "fighting for wine" at that time? Generally speaking, the original text is now considered as "100 poems by Li Bai", but another way of saying it is that later generations regard it as a poem.
Li Bai, who sits alone in Jingting Mountain, is known as a poet. He has lofty goals and ambitions in life, but he has never been able to realize his ideals. This feeling of talent failure reached its peak more than ten years after Li Bai left Beijing. From his "sitting alone in Jingshan Pavilion", we can get a glimpse of Li Bai's helplessness and loneliness at that time.
Sitting alone in Jingshan Pavilion
In fact, the great poet Li Bai still has official experience. In 742 AD, in the first year of Tianbao, under an accidental opportunity, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty browsed Li Bai's poetry collection and was immediately surprised. He appointed Li Bai as the Hanlin and asked Li Bai to serve at any time. However, Tang Xuanzong's appreciation of Li Bai caused some people to be jealous, and they slandered Li Bai in front of Tang Xuanzong. Li Bai was only an academician for a short time and was banished from the capital, far from the political center.
The poem "Sitting Alone in Jingshan Pavilion" was written in 753 AD, that is, the twelfth year of Tianbao. According to time, Li Bai has been away from Beijing for twelve years. During Li Bai's twelve years abroad, many things happened. The long-term wandering life has made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world. Although Li Bai's personality has always been so optimistic and open-minded, there will still be resentment and a little loneliness in his heart.
From the poem Sitting Alone in Jingshan Pavilion, we can clearly understand the poet's loneliness, loneliness and loneliness. Images such as birds, solitary clouds and Jingshan Pavilion written in the poem are all lonely, just like the poet himself. At that time, Li Bai was no longer the elegant demeanor of that year. He came to Jingshan Pavilion alone for a long time and felt very sad. Li Bai looked at the scenery in front of him, so he used it to express his loneliness and helplessness.
Thinking about Li Bai in the Quiet Night The poems of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, are catchy, although small in length, but contain profound significance. Li Bai is regarded as a poet in history. Li Bai persisted in writing, and wrote numerous well-known poems, which is also the best material for us to study Li Bai's life experience.
Li Bai who misses his hometown
Silent Night Thinking is a poem written by Li Bai in an earlier period, which was written in 726 AD, that is, in the 14th year of Tang Kaiyuan. Li Bai should have been 26 years old by then. According to historical records, Li Bai left home in 724 AD. Li Bai had been away from home for nearly two years when he wrote Silent Night Thinking. It is conceivable that Li Bai misses his relatives at home and is homesick. One autumn night, the poet Li Bai tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so he had to get up. Standing by the small window, Li Bai looked up and saw a full moon on the horizon. This is like being caught off guard. Li Bai thought of his hometown thousands of miles away, and wondered whether his family was well and happy, and a feeling of homesickness arose.
There are only four short sentences and twenty words in the whole article. This poem is very different from the one that Li Bai has been writing. It has no flowery rhetoric, nor does it use all kinds of strange artistic techniques. It's simple. However, this poem has magical power, and a few words are thought-provoking, attracting wanderers who are far away from home. The whole poem, from "looking up" to "bowing down", vividly exposes the poet's psychological activities and makes readers deeply feel the poet's homesickness at that time. Thousands of years ago, poets couldn't sleep at night because they missed their loved ones and their hometown. Thousands of years later, there are also wanderers who leave home, with the same mood and the same behavior.
