(A) "Help the poor, settle down and settle down in the pear garden" heroic cry.
Li Dapeng's personality strength fully embodies his ambitious and active political ideal of joining the WTO. Since the pre-Qin period, "expressing ambition through poetry" has become the national feature of China's literature and art, reflecting the requirements of the times for progressive intellectuals. "Fu Dapeng" and its predecessor "The Ode of Dapeng Meeting Rare Birds" were both written before Li Bai entered politics, taking Dapeng, who spread his wings and became a bright city in Wan Li, as idols, showing his unremitting pursuit of ideals. Later, in Li Bai's Dapeng poems and Fu, Li Bai's enthusiasm for serving the country was still beating. Li Bai once described his ideal in Dai Shoushan's Answer to Meng Shaofu's Notes: "I would like to help him with wisdom. Make the atlas area big, and Hai Xian is quiet and easy. ". Obviously, Li Bai's political ideal is lofty and meets the requirements of his time. His ambition is to help the poor, secure the country, save the people, be proud of being an official, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the country stable and prosperous. This blueprint is very splendid in his poems, such as To Xu Anyi and To Zhang Qingming's Rich Nephew, and he has strong expectations for quiet and incorruptible, honest and diligent officials, light punishment and political leisure, self-cultivation and effective governance of the environment. Li Bai's ideal personality, even after the political outlet was blocked, not only did it not diminish, but it became more brilliant as lightning Shi Huo. This is the most precious thing of Li Bai, and it is also a true portrayal of Li Bai's lofty Dapeng spirit.
(2) "Making friends with princes" is really outstanding.
The strength of Li Dapeng's personality also permeates the ideological content of his poems. Even those who have status and power in the ruling class are not as respectful as ordinary people, but arrogant and unruly. He once claimed: "If you go out, you will be friends with the princes, and if you escape, you will have a bird's eye view of the nest." . In other words, he never grovelled in and out of officialdom to associate with those princes and nobles, and never surrendered himself for glory. This idea of making friends with princes is often intertwined with his idea of not being greedy for wealth, which is not only reflected in his actions, but also prominently reflected in his Dapeng poems. As mentioned above, Li Bai is very fond of the image of Dapeng depicted in Zhuangzi Xiaoyao. In his works, such as Li Yong and Ge, he not only compared himself with Dapeng, expressed his grand mind and ambition, but also rebuked those powerful and vulgar people for learning pigeons to drive away birds, which led to this.
This extraordinary spirit is "Oh, how can I seriously bow and scrape to those high-ranking people, who will never be seen with an honest face". In this sense, the spiritual symbol of Li Bai Dapeng itself is full of the profound ideological connotation of "being friends with the monarch" and is also a classic feature of Li Bai's poems.
(3) the disillusionment of the ideals of "saving the world" and "being immune to it"
The personality charm displayed in Li Bai's The Tale of Dapeng is lofty, but it also had historical limitations at that time. Soon after Li Bai entered the society, he was keenly aware of the darkness of reality and his heart was full of bitterness. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between his ideal of Dapeng and reality, so he is eager to establish a society advocated by Taoism. It is worth mentioning that although Li Bai's ideals and beliefs are influenced by Taoism, he is not willing to passively avoid the world and live in seclusion for life, but actively respond to the world and pursue fame. To this end, he also adopted an extraordinary way, not relying on scientific research to enter his official career like ordinary scholars at that time, but by making friends and retiring to the mountains, in order to achieve fame, hope for great things and realize his ideals. Once you succeed, you will retire quietly and unify "helping the world" and "being independent". This is the dominant thought that dominated Li Bai's life, and it is branded with the image of Dapeng in Zhuangzi Xiaoyao. Therefore, Li Bai worships not only Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang, but also historical figures such as Fan Li, Lv Zhonglian and Sean. It should be pointed out that subjective pursuit is not equal to objective reality. Facing the increasingly dark reality of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai's personal ideal is difficult to realize, and Dapeng's long-cherished wish can only be left in the history books. This is the tragedy of the times and Li Bai's own tragedy.
