Author: Li Bai-"Yellow Crane Tower Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou"
content
Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.
My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.
Appreciate:
This farewell poem has its own special flavor. It is different from Wang Bo's Farewell to Du Shaofu Shu Biography and Wang Wei's Farewell to Weicheng Qu, which is affectionate and considerate. This poem can be said to be a poetic parting. The reason for this is that this is the parting of two romantic and chic poets. It is precisely because this separation is linked with a prosperous time, a prosperous time and a prosperous region, and it also carries the poet Li Bai's yearning for a happy separation, which makes this separation very poetic.
Li Bai's contact with Meng Haoran was just after he left Sichuan, when he was young and happy, and the world in his eyes was almost as beautiful as gold. Meng Haoran, more than ten years older than Li Bai, has become famous for his poems. He gave Li Bai the impression that he was intoxicated with mountains and rivers, free and happy, so Li Bai said in the poem "Letter to Meng Haoran": "Master, I cheered you from my heart, and your reputation rose to the sky. In the rosy youth, you gave up the importance of hats and chariots and chose pine trees and clouds; Now, whitehead. " Besides, this parting is a prosperous time for Kaiyuan and a prosperous time for peace. This season is fireworks in March, and the spring is the strongest. From the Yellow Crane Tower to Yangzhou, there are flowers on the road. What about Yangzhou? It was also the most prosperous metropolis in the whole southeast region at that time. Li Bai is such a romantic and sightseeing person, so this parting is completely carried out in a very rich atmosphere of whimsy and lyric poetry. There is no sadness or unhappiness in Li Bai's heart. On the contrary, he thinks Meng Haoran's trip is very happy. He yearns for Yangzhou and Meng Haoran, so when he says goodbye, his heart flies with him, and there is endless poetry in his chest.
The phrase "an old friend stays in the West Yellow Crane Tower" is not only to point out the topic, but also because the Yellow Crane Tower is a world-famous scenic spot, which may be the place where two poets often get together and hang out. So when it comes to the Yellow Crane Tower, it brings out various poetic life contents related to it. What about the Yellow Crane Tower itself? It is also the legendary place where immortals fly to heaven. The idea of going to Yangzhou happily with Li Bai is another kind of association, which adds that kind of pleasant and imaginative atmosphere.
"Fireworks descend in Yangzhou in March", and the word "fireworks" was added to "March", smearing the atmosphere of that poem in the farewell environment. Fireworks, foggy, full of flowers. It gives people the feeling that it is by no means a piece of land or a flower, but an invisible and impenetrable smoke cloud in spring. March, of course, is the time of fireworks. Isn't it the place of fireworks in the prosperous lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Kaiyuan era? Fireworks in March not only reproduces the charming scenery of the bustling place in late spring, but also reveals the flavor of the times. This sentence has a beautiful artistic conception and a beautiful writing style, and Sun Zhu of A Qing Dynasty praised it as "the eternal quatrain".
"Lonely sails sail in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River flows in the sky." The last two sentences of the poem look like landscape writing, but there is a poetic detail in landscape writing. Li Bai has been sending friends to the boat, and the boat has been
Sailing away, he was still watching the distant sails by the river. Li Bai's eyes looked at the sail shadow until it gradually blurred and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, showing a long time to watch. The shadow of the sail has disappeared, but Li Bai is still staring at it. At this time, he noticed that a river with spring water is flowing far to the junction of water and sky. "Just look at the Yangtze River flowing in the sky" is the scene in front of us, but who can say that this is simply painting scenery? Isn't Li Bai's deep affection for his friends and Li Bai's yearning reflected in this poetic infatuation? Isn't the poet's heart ebbing and flowing like an eastward river?
In a word, this poetic parting of two romantic and chic poets is also a yearning parting for Li Bai, and it is vividly displayed by the poet with the gorgeous scenery of March in the spring and the vast picture of boating on the Yangtze River, overlooking the details of the solitary sail.
