In the Tang Dynasty, there were no so-called communication devices, and there were no chat software such as WeChat or QQ. There was no way to make an appointment. Of course, you couldn’t see the person when you went there, and you couldn’t see him after you got there. Although the scenery was beautiful, I was inspired by it, so I wrote a poem to express my emotions.
Li Bai is a famous poet in our country. No matter whether he is young or old, everyone knows about Li Bai. That is to say, whether he is in modern times or in ancient times, he is a cultural celebrity. He is such a celebrity. If you want to meet no one, you can send a WeChat message or make a phone call to make an appointment in advance. You will definitely be able to meet someone, but that didn’t happen in ancient times.
The ancient people relied on communication by having people write words on cloth and put them in a wooden box for transmission. The time spent on the road must be very long, so it was generally not used unless it was urgent. state. At that time, Li Bai wanted to visit an eminent monk in the mountains. After traveling all the way, he finally reached the place and found that the person was not there. He felt a little melancholy in his heart, so he wrote the masterpiece "Looking for the Monk in the Mountain but Not Encountered" on the mountain.
The first two sentences of this poem describe the scenery inside the mountain, the second two sentences express that the person he came all the way to find in the house is not there, and the next few sentences introduce Li Bai's disappointment and quietness. Coming down to enjoy the scenery in the mountains, the poet Li Bai was extremely eager to join the world throughout his life, hoping that he would make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
But the reality left him with no way to serve the country. In the end, he had no choice but to wander around the world and pay homage to eminent monks in the deep mountains and forests to relieve his depression and helplessness. Although his official career was unsatisfactory, it was precisely because of this that he created the Li Taibai of later generations, so that our descendants can have the opportunity to appreciate his talent.
