Understanding and Understanding of the Theme of Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow

This is a love story between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Yuhuan. As emperors, they can't protect their relatives. Although they love each other, they can only leave a long legacy. There are dissatisfaction with the emperor's arrogance and extravagance, and there are also praises for their love. As an immortal narrative poem, Song of Eternal Sorrow has a high artistic achievement. Throughout the ages, many people have affirmed the special artistic charm of this poem. What infected and seduced readers with the art of Song of Eternal Sorrow? Touching, I am afraid, is its greatest artistic personality, and it is also the power that it can attract readers, make them infected and tempted for thousands of years. Appreciation four people have been arguing endlessly about the theme of Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, including the so-called love theory, political theme theory, dual theme theory and so on. The author of this article holds the theory of love. First of all, from the analysis of four aspects of the work, it is affirmed that Bai Juyi did not describe Li Yang's story in a didactic way like Chen Hong's Song of Eternal Sorrow, but took "emotion" as the main theme, so that the hero's emotion moved the reader and made him produce a * * * sound, which achieved great aesthetic success. Based on the author's life experience and social history, this paper also analyzes his uniqueness in dealing with the relationship between historical themes, political themes, humanistic themes and psychological themes from the people, and further explains the aesthetic significance of Yang Guifei's image in the Tang Dynasty. As soon as Song of Eternal Sorrow came out, its theme has always been the focus of debate among readers. There are also very different views. There are generally three kinds: one is the theme of love. It is a love poem praising Li Yang. And affirm their sincerity and persistence in love; The second is the political theme theory. It is believed that the focus of the poem lies in allegory, exposing the "endless hatred" inevitably brought by "the emperor of China, whose lust may shake the beauty of an empire", and condemning the debauchery of the Tang and Ming emperors that led to the Anshi Rebellion, so as to admonish the later monarchs; The third is the dual theme theory. It is believed that it is a mixture of exposing and praising unity, irony and sympathy, which not only shed tears of sympathy, but also blamed on political misconduct and resentment. How, still want to analyze from the work itself. Poetry can be divided into four levels: the first level is from "the emperor of China, eager to shake the beauty of an empire" to "the emperor's eyes can never fix enough on her", describing how Tang Xuanzong emphasized color and sought color before the Anshi Rebellion, and finally got Yang Guifei, "as long as she turned her head and smiled, there were hundreds of spells". After the imperial concubine entered the palace, she was arrogant and extravagant. She not only "inherited her kindness", but also "listed all her sisters and brothers in the soil". After repeatedly rendering the imperial concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, she was completely addicted to singing, dancing and drinking. The first sentence of the book not only implies the tragic factor of the story, but also plays a role in arousing and guiding the whole poem; The second layer, from "until the war drum, from the boom of Yuyang, the earth shook" to "when he turned to look later, it was a land of blood and tears", describing the Anshi rebellion, Xuanzong's escape, being forced to give the imperial concubine the death penalty, and writing the "Song of Eternal Sorrow" is the basis of the tragic story. The poet deliberately played down the Anshi chaos caused by Xuanzong's extravagance and wrong country, and deliberately described where they would go. Readers are infected by the tragic atmosphere, rather than rational criticism of history. Chen Hong's theory of "punishing stunners and suppressing chaos" in Song of Eternal Sorrow cannot be used as the writing motivation of this poem. The third layer, from "hiding in the yellow dust blown by a cold wind" to "not dreaming", describes the loneliness and sadness in Shu after Yang Guifei's death, which is a kind of "sad color" and "heartbroken sound". When Chang 'an returned to Korea after the recovery, that depression was more important than Ma Wei and that memory. Where is her white face? . After returning to the palace, Chi Yuan remained the same, and things were different, and the lingering acacia made people sad; The fourth layer, from "there is a Taoist who lives in Lingqiong" to "this worry is endless", describes that Xuanzong sent alchemists to find Yang Guifei's soul, focusing on her lonely and sad memories of her past love life. The poet used romantic methods to go from heaven to earth, and finally let the imperial concubine reappear the fairyland on the illusory fairy mountain with the image of "tears running down her sad white face like spring rain hitting pear flowers". The catharsis of "emotion" has gone beyond the emotional entanglement between emperors and concubines, and is more of a poet's subjective ideal element, which has already gone beyond the scope of historical facts, showing the contradiction and conflict between subjective desire and objective reality. The last sentence "everlasting, everlasting; One day both will end, and this endless sorrow will last forever "is a sigh and cry of love, which is a kind of lament. Love is spread by fate and destroyed by political ethics.". This hatred has transcended time and space and entered an infinite realm. In this way, the poet expressed eternal love with "everlasting regret", that is, pointed out the theme of the whole poem.
