Li Bai's life experience
1. Young and promising
In his youth, Li Bai studied in a wide range. In addition to Confucian classics and ancient literary and historical masterpieces, he also browsed hundreds of books and became a "good swordsman" (Korean Jingzhou Book). He believed in Taoism, which was popular at that time, and liked to live in seclusion in the mountains and seek immortality to learn Taoism. At the same time, he has the political ambition to make contributions, claiming to "learn from Yan Guan's words, seek the skills of the emperor and strive for the wisdom of the emperor". He is willing to help him, enlarge the atlas area and make Hai Xian into Jing Yi "("Dai Shoushan answers Meng Shaofu's book "). On the one hand, it is necessary to be a hermit immortal beyond the secular world, on the other hand, it is necessary to be an assistant to the monarch, which has formed the contradiction between being born and entering the WTO. However, actively joining the WTO and worrying about the country and the people are the mainstream of his life thoughts and the ideological basis for the progress of his works. Poems written by Li Bai in Shu during his youth are rarely preserved, but articles such as Wandering Taoist and Yuege on Mount Emei show outstanding talents.
2. Say goodbye to your loved ones and travel far away
In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (A.D. 725), Li Bai went to Shu, "leaving his sword to serve the country and his relatives to travel far away". He sailed out of the gorge and drifted along the river, and the mountains in his hometown gradually disappeared beyond recognition. Only the water from the Three Gorges still followed him, pushing his boat and sending him to a strange and distant city.
To Li Bai's surprise, there will be an extraordinary meeting in Jiangling. He actually met Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist who was respected by three emperors. Tiantai Taoist Sima Chengzhen not only learned a whole set of Taoist spells, but also wrote a good seal script, and his poems were as elegant as immortals. Xuanzong respected him very much. Once, he called him to the Inner Temple to learn Buddhist scriptures, built a balcony for him to view, and sent his sister Princess Yu Zhen to study Taoism with him. Li Bai was naturally very happy to see the favored Taoist priest, and sent his own poems for his review. Li Bai's elegant appearance and extraordinary qualifications made Sima Chengzhen appreciate it at first sight, but after reading his poems, he was even more amazed, praising him as "a sage who can make him wander at will". Because he saw that Li Bai was not only outstanding in appearance, but also brilliant in writing, which did not attract the attention of contemporary Rong Lu officials. This is a talent he has never met in the opposition for decades, so he is praised with the highest praise from Taoism. In other words, he has a "immortal root", that is, he was born immortal, which is similar to what He Zhang later praised him as "an immortal", and everyone regarded him as an extraordinary person. This is the overall impression of Li Bai's demeanor and poetic style.
Li Bai rejoiced at Sima Cheng's high praise. He is determined to pursue such an eternal and immortal world as "wandering octupole". Excited, he wrote a great poem "Dapeng meets a bird", taking Dapeng as a metaphor and boasting about its great speed. This is Li Bai's earliest world famous work. He set off from Jiangling and started his flight thousands of miles away.
Li Bai went south from Jiangling, passed Yueyang, and then went south to reach one of the destinations of this trip. However, while boating in Dongting Lake, an unfortunate thing happened. Li Bai's traveling companion Wu Guide, from Sichuan, died of sudden illness (or was beaten to death). Li Bai is very sad. He fell down beside his friend and shouted, "Blood is behind the tears". Because he cried so much, passers-by cried for it. It's really helpless to meet such misfortune on the trip. Li Bai had to bury Wu Zhidao in Dongting Lake for the time being, and continued his eastward journey, determined to carry his friend's bones away after his trip to the southeast. Li Bai came to Lushan Mountain and wrote the famous "Looking at Lushan Waterfall".
Li Bai went to Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. This place is magnificent, and a tiger sits on a dragon plate, in the palace of the Six Dynasties. This not only aroused many feelings of Li Bai, but also aroused his pride in that era. He believes that the old capital has been in a state of decline, and there is nothing to see. It is not as good as the emperor's rule, and the world presents a peaceful scene. Although the domineering spirit of Jinling has disappeared, the children of Jinling have received Li Bai with deep affection. When Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, Wu Ji suppressed the wine, and Jinling's sons and daughters sent them to each other diligently, frequently raising glasses to persuade them to drink. The feeling of farewell flows through people's hearts like a flowing river, which is unforgettable. After Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, he went to Yangzhou from the riverside. Yangzhou was an international city at that time. Li Bai has never seen such a lively city, and has been hanging out with fellow travelers for a while. In midsummer, Li Bai and several young friends "dismounted, beside Oubei Avenue. Look at the green water on the horizon and the green hills on the sea. " It's so pleasant. In autumn, he fell ill in Huainan (Yangzhou). Being in a foreign country, he has a lot of thoughts. He lamented that he had little hope of making achievements and missed his hometown deeply. The only thing that can bring him some comfort is a letter from a distant friend.
Li Bai went to Gusu after recovering from illness in Huainan. This is the place where Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and beautiful women sing and dance day and night. Li Bai missed the past and wrote an epic poem "Wu Qiqu". This poem was later praised by He, calling it "making the gods cry". From this point of view, although Li Bai's Yuefu poems sometimes use old topics, they are more innovative. Of course, the scenic spots and historical sites in Gusu aroused Li Bai's nostalgia for the past, and the beautiful and simple Wu Ji and Yue Nv made Li Bai admire them. Li Bai left a beautiful sketch on the Huansha stone with his wonderful pen at the foot of the mountain where the stone used to be Huansha. Li Bai returned to Jingmen from the west. He stayed in Jingmen for three months. Although he is homesick, he has made no achievements in his career and finds it difficult to return to his hometown. Finally, he decided to roam again. First came to Dongting Lake and buried Wu Guide's bones in Jiangxia (now Wuchang, Hubei). He met the monk Xing Rong in Jiangxia, and learned about Meng Haoran from him, so he went to Xiangyang to visit Meng Haoran and wrote the famous five-rhythm poem A Word to Meng Haoran. Soon, Li Bai arrived in Anlu and settled down in the Taoist temple of the little beast. But seclusion here is not a long-term solution, and he still wants to find opportunities for career advancement. When Li Bai lived in seclusion in Shoushan, he made friends with officials by lobbying to improve his reputation. Li Bai's literary talent was appreciated by Xu, the prime minister of Wuhou, and he was recruited as his granddaughter's husband. Li Bai and his wife, Xu, live a happy married life under Taohua Rock in Baizhao Mountain, not far from the Xu family. However, the beauty of husband and wife's life did not make Li Bai's ambition to go out and make a successful career decline. Based on Anzhou's wife's family, I traveled several times and got to know some officials and nobles. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (AD 734), I got to know the Han Dynasty Sect, the long history of Jingzhou and the secretariat of Xiangzhou.
3. First visit to Chang 'an
Feudal emperors often hunted in winter. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he went hunting many times, and every time he took foreign envoys to show off his strength to deter neighboring countries. In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (AD 735), Xuanzong hunted again, and it happened that Li Bai was also traveling westward, hoping to win Xuanzong's appreciation because of his "Da Hunting Fu".
His "Great Levy" hopes to "show things widely", but "Sheng Chao gardens are remote and desolate, and the situation is very different from that of the previous generation", boasting that this dynasty is far superior to the Han Dynasty, and promoting the mysterious burial of Taoism at the end, in line with Xuanzong's state of mind of advocating Taoism at that time. The purpose of Li Baixi's visit is to present a gift. In addition, he also took this opportunity to visit Chang 'an and appreciate the scenery of this "pilgrimage to all countries". He lives at the foot of Mount Zhongnan and often visits and overlooks Mount Zhongnan. When he climbed the North Peak of Zhong Nanshan, he showed him the elegance of a great country.
He deeply feels that living in such a country is extraordinary, so he is quite proud. But the thought of the decadent factors in this prosperous empire once again hit his lofty mood. After Li Bai entered Chang 'an, he met Zhang Weiwei Qing and gave a poem to Princess Yu Zhen through him. The last two sentences say, "When there are few people, the Queen Mother wants to meet", which is to wish her enlightenment. Li Bai also said in his poem "Seeing Qing off" that his situation was very difficult and he hoped to introduce him to the imperial court. So he approached the upper class of the ruling class step by step. Li Bai also met He in Chang 'an this time. Li Bai once went to the Purple Pole Palace, only to meet He there. He has read He Lao's poems. When I met him this time, he naturally stepped forward to meet him and presented a book of poetry in his sleeve. He liked Shu Daonan and Wu Qiqu very much, so he took the scarab off his belt and asked someone to take Li Bai out for a drink. He was shocked by Li Bai's magnificent poems and elegant demeanor, and even said, "Did you come down to earth with a white Venus?"
A year later, Li Bai was still a guest in Chang 'an and had no chance to take office. His mood is a little depressed. A good friend sincerely invited him to live in a secluded place under the sunshine of green hills, but Li Bai had no intention of going. This time I went to Chang 'an, with the ideal of making contributions, but I couldn't find it anywhere, which made Li Bai feel disappointed and a little resentful. I went to visit the prince at his door, and I was extremely dissatisfied. I just left Chang 'an with a sigh "It's hard to go, come back".
Step 4 pay back the money
Li Bai, 42, was recommended to Chang 'an by Princess Yu Zhen, the sister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (said to be introduced by Taoist Wu Yun). Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appreciated Li Bai's talent and treated him with great courtesy. Li's Preface to the Collection of Caotang said, "Retire to greet you, as you see (one of the" Four Masters of Shangshan "in the Qin and Han Dynasties)". "Give the rice to the Qibao bed and let the royal hand scoop the rice." . But Tang Xuanzong only asked him to worship the Hanlin and be his own literary attendant. Three years later, he was "repaid" by Tang Xuanzong.
Living in Chang 'an for three years has made Li Bai more aware of all kinds of corruption and darkness in North Korea. Being "paid back" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was a watershed in Li Bai's political career.
In the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), Xuanzong read Li Bai's poems and admired them, so he called Li Bai into the palace. On the day when Li Bai entered the palace to appear before the court, Xuanzong came down to meet him and said, "Give the rice in front of the Qibao bed and scoop it yourself." Xuanzong asked some contemporary affairs, and Li Bai gave a thoughtful answer based on his half-life study and long-term observation of society. Xuanzong was greatly appreciated and immediately made Li Bai worship the Hanlin. His job is to draft the announcement and accompany the emperor. Every time Xuanzong gave a banquet or outing, he ordered Li Bai's attendants to use his agile poetic talent to write poems on the spot. Although it is not a record of merit, it also spreads its words to future generations and arrogantly boasts to future generations. Li Bai was so prized by Xuanzong that his colleagues envied him, but some people were jealous of him.
When Li Bai was in Chang 'an, he not only worshipped Hanlin and accompanied Wang, but also often walked in Chang 'an. He found that there was a deep crisis in the prosperity of the country, that is, overbearing eunuchs and arrogant consorts closest to the emperor. They hung over Chang 'an and China like dark clouds, giving Li Bai a strong sense of oppression.
At the same time, Li Bai's debauchery was slandered by Zhang Tan, a scholar of Hanlin, and there were some bad feelings between them.
Li Bai was deeply moved by the corruption of state affairs and the slander of his colleagues. He wrote a song "Hanlin research, talk and gift to scholars" to express his intention of returning to the mountains. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Bai was given back the gold, which seemed very unexpected. This time, it seems that Li Bai said something inappropriate.
Travel again
In the summer of the third year of Tianbao (AD 744), Li Bai arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Here, he met Du Fu. The two greatest poets in the history of China literature met. At this time, Li Bai was famous all over the country, while Du Fu was in his prime, but he stayed in Los Angeles.
Li Bai is eleven years older than Du Fu, but he is not arrogant in front of Du Fu with his talent. Du Fu, an "old friend", did not bow to Li Bai's praise. The two men established a profound friendship on an equal footing. When they were in Luoyang, they made an appointment to meet each other in Liang and Song Dynasties (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu) to visit Taoism and seek immortality.
In the autumn of the same year, they arrived in Liang and Song Dynasties as promised. Here, two people express their feelings through the past and discuss the present. They also met the poet Gao Shi here, who has not yet taken office. However, each of them has the same ambition and ideal. The three of them had a good time swimming, commenting on literary criticism and poetry, and talking about the general trend of the world. They were all worried about the hidden dangers of the country. At this time, Du Li was in the prime of life, and this exchange of ideas in their creation had a positive impact on them in the future.
In the autumn and winter of this year, Du Li broke up again, went to a Taoist teacher, created a true scripture (the secret text of Taoism), and taught a Taoist book. Li Bai arrived (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and was taught by Taoist Gao of the Qing Dynasty in the palace. Since then, he has officially performed Taoist rituals and become a Taoist priest. Later, Li Bai went to Anling County, Dezhou, and met Gailiao, who was good at writing symbols and seals in this area, and made a true atlas for him. Li Bai got a satisfactory result in this fairy's visit.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (AD 745), Li Bai and Du Fu met for the third time at the east foot. In just over a year, the two met twice and three times, and their friendship deepened. Together, they visited the hermit master and Li Yong, a world-famous essayist and calligrapher at that time. Just this winter, the two broke up and Li Bai was ready to revisit Jiangdong.
Li Bai left Donglu, took a boat from Rencheng and went to Yangzhou along the canal. I didn't stay much because I was in a hurry to meet Yuan Danqiu in Huiji. After arriving in Huiji, Li Bai first went to mourn the death of He. Soon, Kong also came to Huiji, so Li Bai, Yuan Danqiu and Kong visited Yudong, Lanting and other places of interest, went boating in Jinghu Lake and wandered among rivers, and described the beautiful mountains and rivers and historical details in this area extemporaneously. In Jinling, Li Bai met Cui Chengfu. Both of them are politically frustrated, and their feelings are more congenial. Every time I play, I enjoy swimming, morning and evening. They went boating on the Qinhuai River and sang all night, which attracted people on both sides of the strait to marvel and applaud them. Because of their congenial personalities and similar experiences, they have more tacit understanding and deeper friendship than ordinary friends, so Li Bai tied Cui Chengfu's poems to his clothes and memorized them when he remembered them.
Be invited to the screen.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Li Bai took refuge in Lushan Mountain. At that time, there were always two contradictory ideas in his mind: retiring and helping the world. Li Lin, the king of the ages, just started his eastward tour at this time, and Li Bai was invited to enter the curtain. Li Bai went behind the scenes and made the biggest mistake in his life. He believes that the chaos of the world has been decided. At this time, the situation in Datang is very similar to that in Yongjia Du Nan, Jin Dong, which is a good opportunity for the separatist regime in the south of the Yangtze River. So he urged Wang Yong to take Jinling directly. After the rebellion in Wang Yong, he wrote eleven more songs, including "The first month started in the east, and the son of heaven looked across the dragon and tiger flag", "The three rivers in the north were chaotic, and the four seas ran south like Yongjia, but Xie Anshi in Dongshan laughed for you" and "The south wind swept away Beijing and the west entered Chang 'an to face Japan". Xiao and Kong in the south of the Yangtze River were also invited to avoid disaster. In this respect, Li Bai is obviously inferior to them. Wang Yong was soon defeated, and Li Bai was imprisoned in Xunyang. At this time, Cui Huan encouraged Jiangnan to recruit talents. Li Bai wrote poems for help, and his wife guru also cried for help. Song Ruosi stationed 3000 troops of Wu Bing in Xunyang. He rescued Li Bai from the prison and let him join the shogunate. Li Bai became Song Ruosi's adjutant, wrote several essays for Song, and followed him to Wuchang. Li Bai was highly valued under Song Ruosi, and recommended to the court again in the name of Song Dynasty, hoping to be appointed by the court again. But for some reason, instead of seeing the letter of appointment, he was turned into Yelang (now Tongzi, Guizhou), which was completely unexpected. In the winter of the second year of Zhide (757), Li Bai went into exile by Xunyang Road? Yelang is gone forever because his sentence is a long-term crime, and Li Bai is now old. "Yelang Wan Li Lucy is old", which made him even more sad.
7. Died of a serious illness
In the second year of Gan Yuan (AD 759), Li Bai went to Wushan. Because of the drought in Guanzhong, the court announced an Amnesty, stipulating that the dead were completely pardoned from the stream and below. In this way, Li Bai was finally free after a long wandering. He immediately descended from the Yangtze River, and the famous song "Send Baidicheng Early" best reflected his mood at that time. In Jiangxia, Li Bai stayed for a while because his old friend Liang Zai was a local satrap. In the second year of Gan Yuan, at the invitation of a friend, Li Bai once again went boating with the demoted Jia Zhi to enjoy the moon in Dongting Lake, thinking about ancient love and expressing his feelings with poetry. Soon, he returned to the old places of Xuancheng and Jinling. For almost two years, he shuttled between the two places and still lived on people. In the second year of last year, Li Bai, who was in his early sixties, returned to Jinling due to illness. In Jinling, his life was rather embarrassing, so he had to go to his uncle Li, who was the county magistrate of dangtu county. In the third year of Shangyuan (AD 762), Li Bai was seriously ill. He gave the manuscript to Li before he died, at the age of 6 1. There have always been different opinions about the death of Li Bai. Generally speaking, there are three ways to die: one is drunk death; The second is death; The third is drowning. The first way to die is found in Old Tang Shu, which says that Li Bai "died of drunkenness in Xuancheng because of excessive drinking"; The second way to die is also found in other official history or textual research by experts and scholars. It is said that when Li Guangbi Dongzhen was near the Huaihe River, Li Bai, regardless of the age of 6 1, heard the news and went to kill the enemy. He hoped to try his best to save the nation and survive in his twilight years, and returned home due to illness. He died of illness in Dangtu county magistrate and the most famous seal writer Li in the Tang Dynasty. The third law of death often appears in folklore, which is very romantic. Li Bai was drinking on the Dangtu River and drowned because he jumped into the water drunk to catch the moon, which is very in line with the poet's character. But no matter which way you die, it is directly related to your participation in the rebellion and uprising in Lilin, Wang Yong. Because Li Bai exiled Yelang, his legendary and bumpy life ended soon after he was pardoned.
Li Bai's main works
Li Bai's only original "Rooftop Tie" is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
Li Bai wrote a large number of poems in his life, and there are more than 900 poems that have been handed down so far, mainly including Difficulties in Shu Dao, Difficulties in Going to Heaven, Jiang, Thoughts on a Quiet Night and so on. , and discipline. His poetry creation involves a wide range of China classical poetry themes, and there are many excellent works on many themes.
1. Major achievements
poetic sentiment
Li Bai's best genre is seven-character poems and quatrains. Li Bai's seven-character song also adopts the structure of opening, closing, jumping and swinging. The beginning of a poem is often abrupt, like a sudden surge, while the middle image of the poem is abrupt, which often omits the transitional care and seems to have no trace to follow.
The end of the poem often comes to an abrupt end at the emotional climax.
Li Bai's quatrains of five or seven words can better represent the fresh and lively style of his poems. For example, the beauty of "Come to Baidicheng early", "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou" and "Thinking of a Quiet Night" lies in "only looking at the prospect and spoken language, but there are overtones and foreign flavors that keep people away." (On)
The language of Li Bai's poetry, some fresh as spoken language, some bold, informal and close to prose, is unified in the natural beauty of "clear water produces hibiscus, natural carving" This is related to his conscious pursuit of natural beauty. He inherited Chen Ziang's literary thought and took it as his duty to restore the tradition of poetry and Sao. He once said, "Since Liang Chen, Yan Bo has been extremely thin, and Shen Xiuwen still pays attention to temperament and must go back to the ancients, not me but who?" (Meng Meng "skill poem? Senior one) He advocated "halal" and satirized the ugly girl who was naive in carving insects and was a toddler in Handan. The natural beauty of his poetic language is the result of his careful study of folk songs and his understanding of popular characteristics, which is clear as words, popular and vivid.
word
There is no unanimous conclusion as to whether Li Bai created ci, but there are about 20 works that have been handed down as Li Bai's ci, such as Autumn Wind Ci, Zhi Zhu Ci, White Nose, Knotting Socks, etc. Whether they are true or not can be classified into ci. As far as its pioneering significance and artistic achievements are concerned, "Li Bai's Ci" enjoys a high position in the history of Ci. This position is just like the position of ancient Greek mythology in western art. As an unattainable norm, Li Bai's ci has become an eternal idol in people's hearts. Li Bai has made great contributions to the formation of the text mode and the creation mode of ci.
In fact, starting from the Collection of Flowers in the Five Dynasties, Li Bai in Gymnastics will never be forgotten in all anthologies and anthologies of Tang and Song Ci, or at least one sentence will be mentioned in the preface and postscript. Other achievements As the first great poet in the history of literature, although he has only a few poems whose copyright is often questioned, no one has ever expressed any dissatisfaction or criticism to him. If the world's first poet is selected, Li Bai will undoubtedly be elected as the "King of Ci" by unanimous vote.
calligraphy
Shangjietie is a cursive script with four words and four lines written by Li Bai, and it is also the only authentic calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. Paper, 28.5 cm long and 38. 1 cm wide. The cursive script has 5 lines and 25 words. The secretary uses the word "Taibai". Quoting the title of "Qinglian Han Yi" in the regular script of Emperor Li Hong, Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty, the title of "Tang Li Taibai Shangjie" is engraved on the upper right of the text, and the title is Song Huizong Evonne Bojinshu.

There are thousands of things in the mountains. Unless you have an old pen, you can be strong or poor.
18, superior book, Taibai.
After the paper, there are inscriptions by Yuan, Du Ben, Ouyang Xuan, Yuan, Qi Lu and Qing Qianlong. There are Zi Gu and Dong Zhai of Zhao in Song Dynasty, Chou He's book of Jia Sidao, Zhang Qian's private seal in Yuan Dynasty and Ouyang Xuan's seal in Ming Dynasty, as well as Xiang, He Qing Biao, An Qi, Qing Neifu and modern collection seal.
swordsmanship
Li Bai is not only brilliant in literary talent, but also brilliant in fencing. He is "fifteen good swordsmanship" and "swordsmanship self-study". Extraordinary achievements. Li Bai's poems, Pei Minzhi's swordsmanship and Zhang Xu's cursive script are collectively called "Three Musts" in the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Bai's swordsmanship was not included in the "Three Musts", his swordsmanship was second only to that of Pei Min, ranking second in the Tang Dynasty.
According to statistics, the word * * * appeared 107 times in Li Bai's Poems of the Whole Tang Dynasty, except for "Jiange" which appeared three times as a place name, "Sword Wall" which appeared 1 time, and "Sword" which appeared as a weapon 103 times. Sword with 1 time, Wu Gou with 1 time, Wu Hong with 1 time, Zhan Lu with 1 time, and Mo Xie with 1 time. In total, the * * * of Sword appeared 1 18 times (including Frost and Snow in Wu Gou, Sword in Idle Zhanlu, Sword Flower Hà Thu Out of the Box, My Wife's Evil Sword and My Family's Green Ping Sword were 1 time respectively). It can be seen how much Li Bai loves swords.
Taoism
Since childhood, Li Bai often went to Daitian to talk to Taoist priests about Taoism. Later, he lived in seclusion with a hermit named Dong Yanzi in Minshan and studied hard. They keep many exotic birds and work as animal keepers in the mountains where they live. These beautiful and docile birds are used to breeding and fly to feed regularly, as if they can understand human language. As soon as they heard the cry, they flew down the steps from all directions and even pecked at the grain in people's hands without fear. This incident was passed down as an anecdote, and finally Mianzhou secretariat personally went up the mountain to watch birds eat. Seeing that they could direct the movement of birds, the secretariat decided that they had Taoism, so he wanted to recommend them to take the Taoist exam. However, both of them politely refused. Zhao Kun, a famous strategist at that time, was also Li Bai's teacher. He wrote ten volumes of long and short classics in the fourth year of Kaiyuan (7 16). Li Bai was only fifteen years old. Zhao Kun's strategic works, which studied the similarities and differences of the Six Classics, analyzed the situation in the world, emphasized the way of rise and fall, and managed chaos, aroused Li Bai's great interest. He is bent on making contributions in the future and likes to talk about the way of Wang Ba, which is also influenced by this book.
2. Poetic style
Bold and unrestrained, fresh and elegant, rich in imagination, wonderful in artistic conception, wonderful in language, romantic and clear in artistic conception.
Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He has a heroic personality and loves the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He traveled all over the country and wrote many magnificent poems praising famous mountains and rivers. His poems are bold, fresh and elegant, with rich imagination, wonderful artistic conception and light language. People call him "Poet Fairy".
Li Bai's poems and songs not only have typical romantic spirit, but also have typical romantic artistic characteristics from the aspects of image shaping, material intake, genre selection and the application of various artistic techniques.
Li Bai successfully shaped himself in his poems, expressed himself strongly, and highlighted the unique personality of the lyric hero, so his poems have distinct romantic characteristics. He likes to express himself in a magnificent image, expressing his feelings in his poems without disguise or restraint. For power, he "holds a chrysanthemum and stirs two thousand stones" (one of the two songs "Send Cui Shiyu after Drunk"); Seeing the hard work of the working people, he was "heartbroken like rain". When the country was destroyed and the people perished, he vowed to cross the river to clear the Central Plains. Draw a sword and hit the front column, and the sad song is hard to recover "("South Ben Shu Huai "), so impassioned; When drinking heartily with friends, "two people fall in love, one cup after another." I'm drunk and want to sleep. The Ming Dynasty intends to hold the piano ("Mountain Lovers"), which is so naive and straightforward. In a word, his poems vividly show his bold character and bold image.
Boldness is the main feature of Li Bai's poems. In addition to the factors of ideological character and talent, the artistic expression and genre structure used in Li Bai's poems are also important reasons for his bold and elegant style. Being good at relying on imagination and being subjective and objective are the important characteristics of romantic artistic techniques in Li Bai's poems. Almost every article has imagination, and some even use a variety of imagination throughout. Realistic things, natural landscapes, myths and legends, historical allusions and dreamland have all become the media of his imagination. With the help of imagination, we often transcend time and space, interweave reality with dreams and fairyland, and interweave nature with human society to reproduce objective reality. The images in his works are not the direct reflection of objective reality, but the externalization of his inner subjective world, which is the truth of art.
One of the artistic techniques of romanticism in Li Bai's poems is to skillfully combine personification with metaphor, empathize with things and compare things with people.
Another romantic artistic technique in Li Bai's poems is to grasp a certain feature of things and boldly imagine and exaggerate on the basis of real life. His exaggeration is not only strange in imagination, but also always combined with concrete things, so natural and unobtrusive; So bold, true and credible, it has played a role in highlighting the image and strengthening feelings. Sometimes he combines bold exaggeration with sharp contrast to enhance the artistic effect by increasing artistic contrast.
3. Ideological content
Eulogize ideals and express grief and indignation.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and many scholars were eager to make contributions. Li Bai prides himself on being an unrivaled talent, boasting of the achievement of "strengthening his wisdom, assisting his wishes, making the Atlantic region big and the sea and county clear", and unswervingly pursuing the ideal of "laughing for profit" and "finally enjoying the country" all his life. He compared himself with Dapeng, Tianma and Xiong Jian: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars in Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. " ("Li Shangyong"). He hopes to be a wise monarch like Jiang Shang and restore the Han Dynasty like Zhuge Liang. Yin's "Reading Zhuge Wuhou Biography", Dong's "Wandering Songs" and "Difficult to Go" (Part II) all reflect his thoughts.
Despise the strong and pursue freedom.
He felt that relying on his own talents, he could "go out safely and make friends with the princes, be defeated and escape from the bird's nest" ("Preface to Sending Swallow Garden to Play the Hidden Fairy City Mountain"). He cast a strong contempt for those powerful people who enjoy high positions and high salaries by virtue of family relations, showing a proud and unyielding character. He despised the feudal hierarchy, was unwilling to flatter, and disdained to rise and fall with customs. The darkness of reality disillusioned his ideal, and he was suffocated by the shackles of feudal ethical hierarchy. He longed for the freedom and liberation of his personality, so he adopted a wild and uninhibited attitude towards life to get rid of the shackles and strive for freedom. Its manifestation is binge drinking and singing, seeking immortality and learning Taoism. But wine can't relieve worries, and the immortal is more ethereal, so he praised the beautiful nature as the ideal sustenance and the embodiment of freedom "according to the unchangeable habit of my life" (Lushan Ballad). Mount Emei, Huashan, Lushan, Taishan, Huangshan, etc. It is majestic in his works, full of clouds and streams; The rushing Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River swept away everything in the works, showing the poet's unruly character and strong desire to break through the fetters.
Expose reality and attack current politics
This is Li Bai's angry struggle against society and an important embodiment of his rebellious spirit. He opposed Xuanzong's exultation and belligerence, exposing that he was not a human being, which led to the death of the people in vain. Because of Xuanzong's arrogance, the eunuch's power is hot? Through the analysis of the political platform and the field observation in Youyan, Li Bai was sensitive as a poet, and he and Du Fu were the first poets to reveal the disaster at that time. When the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, his patriotic enthusiasm was sublimated and he got rid of the contradiction of using Tibetan resources. His rebellious character and spirit have profound patriotic connotation, social significance and characteristics of the times. The third, fifteenth, twenty-fourth and thirty-ninth editions of Antique have profoundly exposed and strongly criticized the social reality.
Emotional ups and downs, full of contradictions
He has both lofty and vulgar side. His ideal and freedom can only be found in the mountains, in the fairyland and in his hometown where he is drunk and dreaming. Therefore, in his poems such as Into the Wine, Songs on the River, Songs of Xiangyang, etc., he reveals such negative and decadent thoughts as dreaming, eating, drinking, and escaping from reality, which are also representative among upright and upright literati in feudal society.
