On the Image Jump in Li Bai's Poems
In many of Li Bai's poems, especially the seven-character poems and Changle Fu poems, the imagery of poetry has made a great leap. In some poems, the poet's feelings fly very fast, and the pictures are suddenly connected, so the reader can't grasp the context of the poet's thoughts and feelings for a while and can't find the connection between the pictures. There are many such poems in The Complete Works of Li Taibai. Uncle Yun, who was sent in front of Xie Tiao Building in Xuanzhou, is a typical example. When the poet wrote this poem, he made a bold leap in his imagination due to the drastic changes in his thoughts and feelings, omitting the process and connection between change and jump, which made his image make a great leap and formed an abrupt momentum.
Those who dislike me can't stay yesterday, and those who disturb my heart are more worried about today. Autumn geese are escorted by Changfeng, and I treat them in this villa and drink my wine. The bone of a great writer is your brush. In Tianxue, it is a medium problem and a clear hair. We are all lofty distant thoughts, longing for the sky and the bright moon. But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with our swords and raise our glasses to drown our sorrows.
Since the world can't satisfy our desire, I will loosen my hair and get on a fishing boat tomorrow.
One or two sentences in this poem are an image, which is an unspeakable worry of the poet when he bid farewell to Li Yun: yesterday's gathering will never come again, and today's parting is immediate. For intimate friends, you can imagine how distressing the situation is here and now. Six poems between three and eight sentences. Aside from this distressed mood, I drew another scene: on a crisp autumn day, drinking tall buildings and chatting about the past and the present. The two men confided in each other and praised each other's literary talent. Their interest is so strong and their mood is so high. "Aim at the distance, aim at the clear sky and bright moon", and they are in high spirits after drinking. A word "fly" wrote the high emotions of the two at that time; The word "lust" vividly shows their strong interest and madness after drinking. In the last four sentences, the poet's thoughts returned to reality and his mood plummeted.
This poem, the poet's feelings are changeable, which makes the poem ups and downs and forms a leap of image, but its meaning is always the same. After reading this poem, you will leave a complete image in your mind with the poet's unrestrained imagination and dramatic changes in his feelings. The poet's confidence and frustration in talent and his anger at reality are vividly displayed. The image of intellectuals who resisted the stormy feudal society came to the fore. In Li Bai's poems, there are many phenomena of image jumping. For example:
Farewell begins with the difficult journey of E Huang and Nv Ying in pursuit of great harmony, and suddenly it is interrupted by dim sunshine and dark clouds.
