Why write so many poems for nothing?

Most ancient poets had a rough fate and studied hard under the feudal education system, and Li Bai's life was not smooth sailing. When I was a child, I moved to Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan) with my father. From the age of 25, he left Sichuan with his sword. At the beginning of Tianbao's offering to Hanlin, he was slandered by powerful people and left Chang 'an in just over a year. He was Wang Yong's chief of staff during the An Shi Rebellion. Because he was defeated in Xunyang prison, he was exiled to Yelang, but he was pardoned halfway. In his later years, he went to his uncle Dangtu to make Li, then died in Dangtu and was buried in Longshan. In the 12th year of Tang Yuanhe (8 17), the observation of Xuanzang Pool made Fan move the tomb to Qingshan according to Li Bai's wishes. Faced with setbacks, Li Bai is different from other poets. He always takes a positive attitude after some thinking, and optimism has shaped his romantic and uninhibited character. There are a lot of political lyrics in more than 900 poems of Li Bai's life, which fully shows the poet's extraordinary ambition, unrestrained passion and heroic spirit, and also represents the typical tone of high-spirited poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Bai has a strong sense of self and compares himself with Dapeng many times. "One day, Dapeng rises with the wind and goes straight to Wan Li" and "Li Yong". However, Li Bai's frustration in Chang 'an for three years turned his full political enthusiasm into a wild song of grief and indignation when he was hit by reality again, and it gushed out from his chest: "The road is like a blue sky, and there is no way out in front of me. I am ashamed to follow those who have no courage, fighting chickens and dogs to bet on pears, and I want to return home with no fish to eat. Zhou Busi succumbed to the gentry. Li Bai also used a hearty drinking poem to dispel the sadness of his talent. "Into the wine": "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes, and never point his golden cup at the moon! Since God has given talents, let them be used! , spin one thousand silver, all back! Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me, 300 bowls, take a long drink! " It is in line with this unrestrained emotional momentum. The remarkable characteristics of Li Bai's poems in artistic techniques are: magical imagination, endless changes, vertical and horizontal structure and patchwork sentence patterns, which form a magnificent and elegant style. When the big dream first woke up, the dreamland disappeared, which led to the understanding of the world of life: "People's happiness is always like this, and thousands of waters flow eastward in Qian Shan", "Alas, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials who will never be shown with honesty?". This feature of Li Bai's Dream Falling from the Sky has greatly developed Zhuangzi's fable, Qu Yuan's first romantic spirit and expression techniques, and also incorporated the Taoist immortal image, which has amazing artistic charm and won the praise of a generation of "poetic immortals". Li Bai's life has been wandering around the world, with ups and downs, which made him widely exposed to all aspects of life. His distinctive personality was formed on the basis of fully absorbing the flavor of the times. Li Bai was generous and conceited since childhood, and did not stick to his usual tone. "He often wants to be a blockbuster and soar to the sky, but he gradually moves to Joe. He can't do it." (Fan's Preface to Li Tombstone of Hanlin Bachelor in Tang You's Collection). He has a strong Ren Xia style: he values martial arts over Confucianism, ignores details, spends money like water, and is arrogant. When I was young, I traveled eastward for less than a year and scattered more than 300 thousand. If there is a down-and-out son, I will help him "(Li Bai's History of Shang 'an Peichang). He likes drinking and is good at riding and shooting. He disdained to follow the usual path of ordinary scholars from the imperial examination to the official position, but hoped to achieve great things in one fell swoop. It's not that he didn't earnestly seek immortality and learn Taoism, and collected herbs to make an alchemy. Dugu also said that when he went out, his luggage was "all fairy medicine and Taoist books" ("Cao Nan sent Li Baixu"). What's more, he took the Taoist seal from the highly respected teachers in Shandong and completed the official ceremony of becoming a monk. He is quite devoted to the counselor who solves disputes and has the demeanor of a strategist. Cui Zongzhi said that he "reached the palm of his hand when he talked about it, and he was absolutely superb when he talked about it." Distinguish between Chu and Han, it seems that the king is overbearing "("Give Li "). The New Tang Book Literary Biography also said that he "likes vertical and horizontal techniques". In short, "Shang Zhi's Daoism means that immortals can achieve it; Don't ask for a small official, be conceited about worldly affairs "(Liu's Bachelor of Hanlin in Tang Dynasty). His ideal in life is to be detached from things and actively join the WTO. The above aspects are the remarkable characteristics of social habits and cultural spirit in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Bai has naturally become the favorite human relations style of contemporary people. For example, for the sake of white elegance, Ren Hua and Wei Wanxiang traveled thousands of miles; When He Yi, a fanatic of Siming, saw Li Bai, he exclaimed that he was a "fallen fairy" and took off his golden turtle as a gift. Master Wu Qi is willing to go through fire and water, cross the enemy-occupied area of An Shi Rebellion and take back the poet's children at the east foot, and so on. It is through his personality projection that Li Bai's poems and songs embody the spirit of the times, thus becoming the strongest voice in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "Look, Geng Jie died on the grass, not a golden cage. "These poems are the self-expression of the poet's mind. Because of his strong sense of freedom, his anger and resistance are particularly strong when he meets the obstacles of ugly forces in real life. He has never achieved fame in his life, but he has high expectations. He despised the rich and powerful, unscrupulously mocked the hierarchical order centered on political power, criticized the phenomenon of political corruption, and carried forward the heroism in the prosperous Tang culture with a bold gesture of resistance. Li Bai's anti-power thought is becoming more and more conscious and mature with the enrichment of his life practice. In the early days, it was mainly manifested in the equal requirements of "self-improvement, not being human" and "making friends with princes", as he said in his poem: "I was drunk in Chang 'an, and five kings and seven people shared a glass of wine. In the face of heroic spirit, the romantic spirit will fall behind others! " ("Liu Yelang gave the judge Xin") "Encourage the nine masters to make waves and be young and ignorant." ("Ode to the Jade Pot") He sometimes makes grandiose remarks that show contempt for powerful people, such as "Gold and white jade buy songs and laugh, and get drunk and tired, and despise princes" ("Remembering the past" sent the county yuan to join the army). But his main performance is inner pride. With the understanding of the actual situation of high-level power groups, he further exposed the opposition between Buyi and dignitaries: "Zhu Yu buys songs and laughs, wasting talents." (The fifteenth time of "Ancient Style") "The sparrow is in the phoenix nest, and it is holding the phoenix." (Article 39 of Antique) "Chickens gather for food and fight, and chickens fly alone without neighbors. Dragonflies laugh at dragons, and good and evil people are mixed; Wear brocade and pay a negative salary. "Personal finishing, suggestions.
