The Creation Background of Yuege on Mount Emei This poem comes from the eighth volume of Complete Works of Li Taibai and was written by Li Bai when he was young. Emei Mountain is the mountain in the middle of Shu and the name of Shu. Li Bai is a native of Shu, so Mount Emei is also the hometown month. This poem was written by Li Baichu when he left Shu, and it was written before the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725).
Appreciation of Emei Mountain Moon Song This poem was written by Li Bai on his way out of Sichuan in the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725). This poem has clear artistic conception, simple language and smooth rhyme. The whole poem is one of Li Bai's masterpieces with beautiful artistic conception and natural style.
The poem begins with "Emei Mountain Moon", pointing out that the season of traveling far away is in autumn. The word "autumn" is upside down at the end of the sentence because of its rhyme. The autumn is crisp and the moonlight is bright ("The Moon is Bright"). The word "autumn" is also used to describe the beauty of moonlight, which is natural and wonderful. The moon is only "half a circle", which reminds people of the beautiful artistic conception of the castle peak spitting the moon. There is Pingqiang River in the northeast of Emei Mountain, now Qingyi River, which originates from Lushan County, Sichuan Province, flows to Leshan County and joins Minjiang River. The second sentence "shadow" refers to the shadow of the moon, and the two verbs "into" and "flow" form a linked predicate, indicating that the shadow of the moon is reflected into the river and goes with it. Life experience tells us that no matter how the river flows, the moon shadow in the water is fixed. "When the moon is gone, I will go." Only when the viewer goes down the river can he see the wonderful scene of "shadow into the river" Therefore, this sentence not only describes the beautiful scenery of Qingjiang River reflected by the moon, but also describes the darkness of sailing in autumn night. Artistic conception can be described as ethereal and wonderful.
There is someone in the second sentence, and the person in the third sentence has appeared: he is leaving Qingxi Station overnight, entering the Minjiang River and heading for the Three Gorges. Young people who "go to the countryside with swords and shadows and leave their loved ones for a long journey" are reluctant to part with their old friends when they leave their hometown. Seeing the moon on the river is like seeing an old friend. However, Yue Ming is not an old friend after all, so she can only "look up to Yue Ming and send her feelings for thousands of miles". The last sentence, "I miss you, but I can't see Yuzhou", can be described as infinite separation.
Five place names are used in the poem in succession, which are ingenious and leave no trace. The poet passes through Emei Mountain-Pingqiang River-Qingxi-Three Gorges-Yuzhou in turn, and the poetic scene gradually unfolds a map of the Shu River for readers. Apart from the "Emei Mountain Moon", there is almost no more specific description of the scenery in the poem; Except for the word "four kings", there is no lyric. The artistic image of "Emei Mountain Moon" runs through the whole poetic realm and becomes a catalyst for poetic sentiment. The implication from this is quite rich: the mountains and the moon accompany Wan Li, which can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you" more profound. The bright moon is approachable and unattainable, which is a symbol of missing friends. Where there is a bright moon singing, where there is a feeling of missing friends in the river, which is intoxicating. Using five place names in a row, starting from a delicate place is both heroic and homesick, and the language flows naturally, just like "clear water produces hibiscus, which is naturally carved."
Originally, the expression of time and space changes in short quatrains is quite limited, so the general writing method is not to transcend time and space at the same time. The time and space span expressed in this poem is really free. There are five place names in twenty-eight words, and the word * * * is twelve, which is unique among the ten thousand quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. It means "four words in the place name are five, and the ancient and modern eyes are the last words, and they never tire of repeating them" (in Wang Linzhou's language). The reason is that the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends are permeated in the poetic realm, and the symbolic artistic images of mountains and moons are everywhere, unifying a vast space and a long time. Secondly, the treatment of place names is also full of changes. "Emei Mountain Moon" and "Pingqiang River" are attached to the scenery by place names and are useless; "Faqingxi", "Xiangsanxia" and "Xiayuzhou" are all practical, but their positions in the sentence are also different. I can't feel the trace when I read it. It's wonderful in chemical engineering.
Mount Emei Yuege 2 Mount Emei is located in Emei County, southwest of Chengdu, Sichuan. There are many temples in the mountains. Li Bai's Emei Mountain Poems. There are three familiar songs. One is "Climbing Mount Emei", which was written by the author when he lived in Sichuan in his early years, and the other is "The Moon Song on Mount Emei sends monks to Beijing" written in his later years. This was written when the author left Shu at the age of 26 (726). If Li Bai went to Mount Emei in his early days to visit Taoism and seek immortality, then the poems he wrote about Mount Emei's monthly songs shortly after he left Sichuan were mainly to express his lofty aspirations and thoughts for his friends. People appreciate this poem very much, but their understanding is quite different.
First, there are different opinions about the author's mood when writing this poem. Forty-seven volumes of Tang Poetry in the Ming Dynasty quoted Liu as saying that the poem was "sentimental and sad", while Cheng's "One and Many in the Description and Structure of Ancient Poetry" said: "Li Bai's intention is to compare with many places he will pass through with the same river. To show the lightness of their hearts. " If we analyze this poem in connection with Li Bai's motivation to leave Sichuan, it is not difficult to judge the correctness of the above two understandings. At that time, the author traveled to Sichuan with ambitions from all directions, and you Dapeng would spread his wings. At this time, there is no "sadness" at all. On the contrary, there is a great desire to win with the bright moon. Mount Emei originally flowed eastward with the river, and the author went down the river by canoe. Sometimes you can see the mountains and the moon, sometimes you can't, and the bright moon is hidden and present, as if you are chasing yourself. When you can't see it, it's like leaving mountains and rivers behind. Liu's so-called "emotion" seems to be closer to the original intention than the word "sadness" if it is understood as the author's interest in playing in the mountains and the moon or the joy of going out to Sichuan.
Second, the understanding of the word "autumn" is different. One thinks it refers to autumn, and the other thinks it refers to the time when the upper or lower chord of Mount Emei is semicircular. Of course, the latter statement is more reasonable. But what is certain is that the "half moon" in Li's poems does not refer to the first quarter moon, because Emei Mountain is in the southwest of the author at this time, which naturally refers to the end of the lunar calendar. At the same time, the interpretation of the word "autumn" as "time" can be found in exegetics, that is, the word "autumn" can be trained as "period" and "day"
In addition, the word "autumn" is also taught to fly or jump, for example, the seventh poem of Hanshu Book of Rites: "Fly in autumn and swim in the sky." Accordingly, it seems reasonable to interpret this sentence as a crescent moon flying over Mount Emei.
Third, there are different interpretations of the "Three Gorges". First, the "Three Gorges" here refer to Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge at the junction of Hubei and Sichuan. One refers to the Small Three Gorges in Li Tou and Beibei in Leshan, Sichuan. To distinguish which is more reasonable. Let's take a look at Li Bai's route out of Sichuan first. The author saw the reflection of Mount Emei in Pingqiang River, indicating that it started from Mount Emei. Pingqiang River, namely Qingyi River, originates in the northwest of Lushan County, Sichuan Province and joins Minjiang River in Leshan County. The "Qingxi" in the third sentence is Qingxi Post Station, located in Qianwei County, Sichuan Province. "Qingxi" is in the lower reaches of Leshan Three Gorges, and the author starts from here at night. The goal is to "anger the Three Gorges", obviously not referring to the Three Gorges in Leshan County. Otherwise, not only will the word "Xiang" lose its landing, but pedestrians will also turn back. Therefore ... the "Three Gorges" here must refer to the famous Three Gorges in Badong. This is a desirable place and the only way for Leshan to go out of Sichuan via Yuzhou (now Chongqing).
Fourth, the word "Jun" in couplets has different interpretations. Some people say that it refers to the friend the author misses, or "the person who saw him off"; Shen Deqian said, "The moon is between the Three Gorges in Qingxi, and half of it has disappeared. The word Jun means the moon. " It seems that the latter statement is more reasonable. Mount Emei is actually the author's hometown, and the moon is the hometown circle. The author's nostalgia for Mount Emei. Undoubtedly, it is also a kind of attachment to hometown. If "thinking of a gentleman" is interpreted as "thinking of friends", it is too dull. It is better to regard it as personifying people with the moon, which is more poetic. Yu Biyun said, "The waning moon in autumn night reflects the majesty of Emei. Parked by the river, the scenery is quiet. Helpless canoe night hair, Dongqin Chongqing. " Looking back at the slanting moon and sinking mountains, I can't see you. Good mountains are separated, which is equivalent to the parting of good friends. Therefore, "thinking of a gentleman" is not just about missing a friend, but a generalized nostalgia. Isn't it more meaningful to be friends with the mountain moon, which symbolizes hometown, than to refer to a specific friend?
The ancients commented on this poem and praised its wonderful use of place names. Amin scholar Wang Shimao said: "Art critics have a saying that they can't enter a story twice and a story can't be repeated. There are very few offenders of this disease, and if they can be singled out, they are very strict. However, I don't think it's wonderful. When you write a poem, you will feel that it is good to have a little, and you will feel that there is no trace. Even if you make two sentences, you won't be hurt. " For example, Taibai's "Emei Mountain Moon Song" put four sentences in the place name, which is five sentences. It's just a swan song from ancient times to modern times. Wang Shizhen called this poem "The Beautiful Land of Taibai" and said, "Twenty-eight characters. "There are Emei Mountain, Pingqiang River, Qingxi River, Three Gorges and Yuzhou, and later generations cannot trace them. It would be nice to see the beauty of this old furnace hammer. " (Yi Yan Yuan Yan).
What needs to be added here is that the author not only makes good use of the name, but also does not show traces. What is more noteworthy is his mastery of the poetic art of quatrains, especially the third sentence, which is difficult to carry forward. The author comes from the lower reaches of Pingqiang River, so the "clear stream at night" in the third sentence is a real connection. If you transfer from Qingxi to Yuzhou, it will become a list of names of water docks, which may be poetic, while the "Three Gorges of Hunan", as a place name in fiction and fact, is real, but the poet has not arrived yet. It's in imagination again. Because the third sentence is well translated, the fourth sentence becomes a logical conclusion, and a series of ordinary place names are endowed with rich poetry. It has become a beautiful landscape in poetry. The whole article is also ingenious and powerful, and it is worthy of being a swan song in ancient and modern times.
