Li Bai, drinking heartily, wrote in the poem "Twelve Summers Climbing Yueyang Tower":
Climb the Yueyang Tower and overlook the Yangtze River until you reach the open Dongting Lake.
It breaks my heart to see geese flying south, and the distant mountains are in the title of a good month.
On the upper floor of the sky, stay in the chair and upload a glass of wine from the sky.
The cool breeze rising after drunkenness, blowing the sleeves with the wind, we will return.
In 759, Li Bai was pardoned in exile, returned to Zhoujiangling and went south to Yueyang to write this poem. The "Summer Twelve" here is Li Bai's friend, ranking twelfth. Li Bai's poems on the floor left a well-known chapter and added charming colors to Yueyang Tower.
On the one hand, the poet reflects objects, on the other hand, he expresses his feelings of being active in the world, caring for the nation, being romantic and elegant, and being on cloud nine, combining feelings with scenery. According to historical records, this is the first time that the name "Yueyang Tower" appeared in the poems of celebrities, and then it was used by the world.
Li Bai accompanied Uncle Ye Li and China calligrapher Jia Zhi to go boating in Dongting and proudly sang:
There is no smoke in the autumn night in Nanhu Lake. Can you ride straight into the sky?
Let Dongting Lake enjoy some moonlight on credit and enjoy the moon and drink happily.
This poem by Li Bai is magnificent and far-reaching, and it is in the same strain as Qu Yuan, a poet who boldly fantasizes and exaggerates. It can be called an eternal quatrain of 800 miles of lakes and mountains.
It is said that when Li Bai visited Yueyang, he personally wrote a couplet when he climbed Yueyang Tower: "Water and sky are the same color; In this couplet, the author vividly describes the natural scenery of Dongting Lake, where the lake meets the sky, the buildings and the lake set each other off, the clear water is boundless, and the weather is myriad, which directly expresses the poet's inner passion and is highly praised by literati. Although some people question it, it is considered to be true and has been treasured in the main building of Yueyang Tower.
In the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 759 AD, Xiangzhou was a satrap and launched a rebellion. Li Bai, who was in Yueyang at that time, wrote a poem "Jingzhou Thieves Talk about Dongting Lake", denouncing the rebels as "repairing snakes" running rampant in Dongting Lake, expressing the poet's desire to put down the rebellion quickly.
On September 9, the Double Ninth Festival, Li Baideng went to Baling Mountain, which coincided with the battle of Kang and Zhang in the Tang Dynasty. He was very excited and described this magnificent scene in "Nine Days of Baden Mausoleum Buying Wine to See Dongting Water Army":
On September 9th, the ninth festival, there was not a cloud in the sky.
Ingenious craftsmanship, the formation of mountains and rivers, the Yangtze River to Chu and Han, the boundaries are clear.
Nagaoka drum waves, folding dragons.
Legend has it that when the emperor of the Han Dynasty crossed the river in a big boat and visited the Fenhe River, he was filled with emotion: the momentum is really strong!
Today I want whales and salamanders with colorful flags.
Dongting Lake, the list of riding the three armies on the water, and the white feather arrow are all mapped in the middle of the glass.
The drums roared and emotions gathered in Huang Juhua.
The spirit of dance should hold up the red sun and let the sun shine again.
Emperor Wu said, I send you a song, which can boost everyone's morale and help suppress the mob.
In this war, we can't follow Tao Yuanming's example and go to the East to pick chrysanthemums.
This poem by Li Bai fully expresses his just feelings of caring for the people, instead of passively escaping from the world like Tao Qian.
In another poem, "Autumn Baden Ling Wang Dongting", he wrote: "Looking at the light and cherishing the hair, reading the water and mourning for the New Year." His heart for serving his country remains undiminished.
Li Bai's political ambition was great all his life, but he failed repeatedly, and his ambition of "helping the poor" was finally difficult to display. In 76 1 year, Li Bai heard that Qiu Li Guangbi led an army to crusade against Anshi rebels. Regardless of age 6 1, he volunteered to kill the enemy and eventually returned home due to illness. He swallowed his pride and died in Dangtu, Anhui the next year.
Besides Li Bai, the poet sage Du Fu left the most poems in Yueyang. In the autumn of 768, Du Fu left Kuizhou, the Three Gorges, Jiangling and Hubei Public Security Bureau. At the end of the year, I drifted to Yueyang, Hunan. At this time, Du Fu was 57 years old, sickly, married and had children, but he was always concerned about the safety of the country and the sufferings of the people.
Du Fu boarded the Yueyang Tower and faced the vast Dongting Lake with mixed feelings. He wrote "Climbing the Yueyang Tower", the eternal swan song:
I heard that Dongting Lake is magnificent before, but today's wish has finally reached Yueyang Tower.
The vast lake tore Wu Chu apart, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating in the water.
There is no news from my friends or relatives. I am old and sick, drifting in a boat.
The battle of the north gate began again, and I cried through the railing.
This poem highly summarizes the magnificence of Dongting Lake, expresses the poet's broad mind of worrying about the country and the people, creatively endows the law poem with great political and social content, and has a strong patriotic spirit, which has become a masterpiece of Yueyang Tower in past dynasties.
Du Fu spent a cold winter in Yueyang. In the spring of 769, he left Yueyang and went south to his relatives and friends. Before he left, he climbed Yueyang Tower again and wrote a poem "Accompany Pei Zuojun to climb Yueyang Tower":
The lake is wide and foggy, and the building is lonely.
Add Xu Ruzi as a gift and Xie Xuancheng as a poem.
The snow bank is covered with plum hair and green mud is covered with grass.
Dare to disobey the fisherman's question and go south from now on!
This poem by Du Fu expresses the poet's positive thoughts and feelings and his attitude of "going south again" no matter how difficult it is and wherever he wanders.
In the winter of 769, Du Fu returned to Yueyang in spite of illness. On the stormy boat, he wrote his masterpiece "Sleeping on a pillow in a boat due to wind, giving friends and relatives in Hunan 36 rhymes":
The water town is covered with white houses, and the maple bank is covered with green cen.
Gloomy winter, misty rain and stagnation.
Drums greet ghosts and jump like storks.
When you are exhausted, you are bored, and you can't help worrying.
This poem shows that the last thing the poet saw on the boat at that time was the winter rain scenery near Dongting Lake in Yueyang. Shortly thereafter, in the winter of 770 AD, Du Fu died on this wrecked ship at the age of 58.
Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Meng Haoran is the only one who has never been an official for life. In other people's eyes, Meng Haoran is an out-and-out recluse poet and a talented floating scholar.
Li Bai once said, "Master, I cheer you from my heart, and your reputation has risen to the sky. In the rosy youth, you gave up the importance of hats and chariots and chose pine trees and clouds; Now, whitehead. " This is Meng Haoran in the eyes of poet Li Bai and also in the eyes of ordinary Tang people.
In fact, Meng Haoran is not unintentional. When he was young, although he lived in the beautiful scenery of his hometown, he had positive ambitions in his heart. Like other poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Meng Haoran also had a strong desire to save the world. He wrote in the poem "Dongting Lake to Prime Minister Zhang":
The autumn water rises and almost blends with the shore, mixing water and sky with the sky.
Ozawa's water vapor transpiration on the cloud soil is white, and the waves seem to shake the whole Yueyang.
I'm going to cross the water to find a boat and paddle. It's a shame to return home in the sacred age.
Sitting around watching other people's hard river fishing can only envy the fish caught in the fish.
This is a self-recommendation poem with superb artistic skills. The first four sentences of the poem describe the scenery, splash ink like water, and describe the caves deeply, which is a good sentence to describe the scenery. Meng Haoran's genius lies in his lyricism and emotion in the scenery, which not only sets off the author's actual thank you, but also implies Zhang Jiuling's magnanimity.
It can be seen that Meng Haoran's and Du Fu's poems about Yueyang Tower are classic works, all of which describe the beauty of Yueyang Tower, with similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages, giving people a lot of inspiration.
Yueyang Tower became more famous after these celebrities recited poems and left ink, which made the combination of human landscape and natural landscape complement each other and made the cultural scene of Yueyang Tower reach its peak in the Tang Dynasty.
Yueyang Tower in this period is simple and solemn. The Tang Dynasty is also a vast country and the most powerful country in the world. Envoys from various countries have visited one after another, and their politics, economy and culture have a certain influence on the world. In other countries, you can also see some buildings similar to the pavilions of the Tang Dynasty. Its three-character plaque "Yueyang Tower" was inscribed by calligraphy master Yan Zhenqing.
