Ten Imaginary Poems by Li Bai
1. Wanglushan Waterfall
The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain.
On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.
The waterfall in Lushan Mountain has its own unique style, and only Li Bai's pen can describe it incisively and vividly.
2. Yeshan Temple
The tall buildings of the temple on the mountain are really high, like a hundred feet. People upstairs are like a hand that can pick off the stars in the sky.
Standing here, I dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in the sky.
The mountain temple is built on the mountain, which is very high. How high is it? It seems that you can pick the stars in the sky at the top of the mountain. This exaggeration began with Li Bai, but we would rather believe it is true for this exaggerated description.
3. A person drinks with the moon
Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.
The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.
I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.
Drinking alone in the month, no relatives and friends. Li Bai can imagine the moon and his own shadow as his closest friends? What a detachment this is!
4. Dream of climbing Mount Tianmu
On a straight line leading to heaven, its peak enters heaven, topped with five sacred peaks, and casts a shadow across China.
The Paradise Terrace Mountains are 100 miles long, and it is here that they begin to extend to the southeast.
My heart and my dream are in Wu Heyue, flying over Jinghu Moon overnight.
The moon lit up my shadow and I came to Yanhe.
Xie 'an is still there, with a loud voice and rippling blue waves.
I wore Xie's earliest spiked shoes and climbed the Qingyun ladder.
Halfway through the sunny ocean, the sacred rooster crows in space.
Thousands of turns, flowers lure me, stones slow me down. The day suddenly ended.
Bears, dragons and storms on mountains and rivers disturb forests and shake mountains. (excerpt)
Li Bai's extraordinary imagination is vividly displayed in Dream of Climbing Mount Tianmu.
5. popular in the north
Candle dragon lives in poverty, but the light is still blooming.
Why don't the sun and the moon shine like this? Only the north wind came up angrily.
Yanshan snowflakes are as big as seats, and pieces of them blow off XuanYuanTai.
You miss your wife in December. Stop singing and laugh.
Looking at the pedestrians by the door, it's sad to miss the Great Wall.
How to describe the size of snowflakes? Li Bai described it as "Yanshan snowflake as big as a seat, and pieces of it blew off Xuanyuantai". It's spectacular and beautiful.
6. Say goodbye to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou
Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.
My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.
The language of this poem is beautiful to the extreme, and the imagination is also developed to the extreme: from a distance, the solitary sail seems to disappear in the blue sky, and the Yangtze River is connected with the sky.
7. Shu Dao is difficult to walk.
It's hard to get through the Shu Road, and it's hard to get to the sky. It turns pale when you smell it!
The highest cliff is less than a foot from heaven, and the withered pine trees hang low on the cliff surface.
One thousand waterfalls rushed forward one after another, sending out the thunder of rotating stones in ten thousand valleys.
You've come a long way at all risks!
Although the pass of the watchtower is strong and steep, one person guards it and ten thousand people can't beat it. (excerpt)
It is said that Shu Dao is extremely dangerous, so how dangerous is it? After reading Li Bai's Difficult Shu Dao, you will deeply understand the harm of Shu Dao.
8. Climb the Phoenix Terrace from Nanjing
There used to be a phoenix on the phoenix platform, and the phoenix went to Taiwan, only Jiangdong returned.
Martial arts flowers were laid on deserted paths, and the number of relatives and friends in the Jin Dynasty has become a famine.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds, such as blue sky, and the river is divided into two.
There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.
Li Bai is good at writing high and overlooking Vientiane from a height. He always has a different vision, giving people a smooth but open feeling.
9. Farewell friends at Jingmen Ferry
Sail from Jingmen Ferry, and soon you will be with southerners.
At the end of the mountain range and the beginning of the plain, the river winds through the wilderness.
The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces.
The water brings you the feeling of home and makes your boat travel 300 miles.
Mountains and Ye Ping disappeared, and rivers became wilderness; The moon is like a mirror, and the cloud is an illusion. Quite a "heaven and earth" meaning.
10. Early development of Baidicheng
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
Taibai's poems are accomplished in one go. "Chaofa Baidicheng" is a good example.
Appreciation of Li Bai's poems
Pi Rixiu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once said in "Inscription by Liu Zaoqiang": "If you speak out of heaven and earth, you must think about ghosts and gods. If you read them, you will be attracted by octupole. If you measure them, you will be aboveboard. Those who are really not secular have Li Taibai. " In layman's terms, it is Li Bai's poems, which are strange in imagination, lofty in artistic conception and full of romantic spirit, and most people can't write them. For example, Li Bai's Deng Taibai Peak is one of the classics of this kind of poetry.
Deng Taibai Peak is a five-character ancient poem written by Li Bai. It was written by Li Bai when he sacrificed to the Hanlin in Beijing. Because "ugliness is in the same column, harm can lead to slander, aphorisms don't enter, and the emperor uses them with caution" (preface to Li Caotang's Collection), Li Bai's political ambition has never been realized, and he feels very disappointed and depressed. It was in this mood that Li Bai wrote this song "Climbing the Taibai Peak".
As for the artistic features of this poem, apart from its peculiar imagination and rich imagination. It is also a method of turning reality into emptiness and taking emptiness as reality. Therefore, in Li Bai's poems, there is no word "Gao" throughout, and every sentence is high. Let's take a concrete look at Li Bai's "Deng Taibai Peak":
Mount Taibai Peak in the west and climb the peak at sunset.
Venus greeted me and opened the customs for me.
I want to fly among the clouds in the breeze.
You can get close to the moon by raising your hand, and there seems to be no mountain obstacle to fly forward.
Say goodbye to martial arts, when can I see it again?
In the first two sentences, "there is Taibai Mountain in the west, and the sunset is poor." Li Bai immediately described the experience of climbing Taibai Mountain. That is, climb Taibai Mountain from the west and climb to the top at sunset. So these two poems also set off the towering Taibai Mountain from the side. Taibai Peak, or Taibai Mountain, is the main peak of Qinling Mountains, located 90 miles south of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province. The mountain peak is extremely high, with snow all year round. As the saying goes, "Kung Fu is too white, it costs 300 yuan".
However, in such a majestic Taibai Mountain, Li Bai climbed to the top, showing the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and striving for progress. So Li Bai's climb to Taibai Mountain was his imagination. "Taibai speaks to me and opens the sky for me", that is, Li Bai seems to hear Taibai Star greet him and open the door to heaven for him. From these two poems, we can see the strange imagination of dialogue. Here, we use the method of turning reality into reality to show the majestic Taibai Mountain.
The next two sentences, "I would like to go with the wind and go straight out of the clouds", are still Li Bai's whimsy, that is, Li Bai fantasizes that he will go in the breeze, fly among the clouds and rush to heaven. These two poems are lofty in artistic conception and open in realm, which shows Li Bai's free and brisk mood and symbolizes his birth. It is similar to "Fu Liezi rides against the wind, Ling Ran is good" in Zhuangzi's Happy Travel.
The next two sentences, "raise your hand and cast your feet in the near future, and move forward without mountains", are the concrete embodiment of Li Bai's lofty aspirations. It means that you can get close to the moon by raising your hand, and there seems to be no obstacle to flying forward. It can be seen that its artistic conception is similar to Li Bai's own "We both respect foresight, who wants to go to the sky and embrace the bright moon", and these two sentences, like the previous two poems, also show the towering Taibai Mountain from the side.
The last two sentences, "When will I see you again after I leave Wugong Mountain", mean that once I leave Wugong Mountain, when can I return it? Wugong Mountain is about 100 miles south of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, and is connected to Taibai Mountain in the north. It shows that Li Bai has flown away from Taibai Mountain, divorced from reality, but he looks back at Wugong Mountain, that is, looks back at reality, and sends out nostalgia for the world and yearning for something. It means that Li Bai was not really born. This complex psychological activity has infinite charm.
This poem by Li Bai is a classical poem with romantic spirit. It has a strange imagination, rich imagination, suddenly galloping across the sky, suddenly looking back at the world, amazing. The unique artistic technique also makes the whole poem without a word "high", but every sentence is high.
