The narrow path covered with vegetation, the night dew wet my clothes. It's not a pity to get wet, but I hope it won't be against my will.
(One of Return to the Garden)
I noticed that there are three circular images in this poem: beans, dew and the moon. They represent three realms in Tao Yuanming's life: beans represent the perfection of real life, dew represents the purity of morality, and the moon represents the superb spiritual world.
Birds without birds fly alone at dusk. Wandering endlessly, every night my voice becomes sad.
Li went to Qingyuan, where to go. Because value is lonely, loose and distant.
There is no glorious wood in the strong wind, and this shade is absolutely unique. I have my house, which has a history of 1000 years.
("drinking")
What a wonderful "resting place, a thousand years"! He used to be like a bird flying alone, but now he has finally found a shelter: the countryside. In addition to poetry, he also described in detail the fun and significance of his pastoral life in prose works such as "Looking Back" and "A Long Talk", and relished it. He gave sincere praise to his life. Obviously, Tao Yuanming was not the first hermit in the history of China, but he was the first person to write such a beautiful and charming seclusion. His former hermits seem to be pursuing a hard life and are willing to show people their hard life to show their moral lofty. Tao Yuanming doesn't want to make any representations to people. This is his own life, and he only wants to be satisfied with himself. If we don't violate morality, we may not need special grievances to flatter morality. In fact, our excessive, melodramatic and inhuman asceticism is really unnecessary for morality.
Jade resentment
Dew fell on the steps of jade, and the night was long. Dew wet the stone.
Go back to my room and put down the crystal curtain, still looking at the exquisite moon through the curtain.
Laolaoting
The saddest place in the world is this farewell acie law.
Spring breeze will also want to leave the pain of parting, instead of urging this willow tree to turn green.
Thoughts?in?the?Still?of?the?Night
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
Li Bai's three poems, Jade Family, Loulaoting and Silent Night Thinking, are all famous, but they are different in genre. Among them, Lao Laoting and Ye Jing IV are five-character quatrains, while Yu Jiefen is not a quatrain, but a Yuefu poem. Of course, some quatrains in the Tang Dynasty also used old Yuefu poems, such as Liangzhou Ci and joining the army. And there are many famous articles, but mainly seven quatrains; Then, Yu Jiefen rhymes, which refers to tones other than flat tone and rising tone, including rising tone, falling tone and entering tone, while quatrains require rhyme. From the content, the three poems also have their own merits. Of course, in my heart forever, a jade family, and Laoting are farewell, and thinking about quiet nights is a common theme in Tang poetry. But why can they stand out from the vast number of poems on the same subject and win people's long-term love?
Yu Jiefen belongs to Xiang He Ge Chu Tune in Yuefu. Judging from the actual content of the existing songs, they are all dedicated to palace grievances and music. Li Bai's poems are no exception. Of course, we can have a broader understanding and appreciate it as a poem by in my heart forever, which is not limited to the palace. The length of the poem is very short, only four sentences and twenty words, "The jade steps are cold and dew, and the silk bottom is wet, which has been lingering for a long time. Behind her closed window, why is she still waiting, looking at the glory of the autumn moon through the crystal glass? At first, the heroine in the poem stood on the steps, but before she knew it, it was late at night. She went back to the house and put down the bead curtain, but she still refused to sleep. Instead, I looked at the bright moon outside the curtain and continued to be lost in thought. Poetry provides a limited scene, but it moves from the steps in the courtyard to the boudoir in the crystal curtain. The astronomical phenomena are the Millennium and the autumn moon, which are used in poetry to indicate the season and time of events. It's an autumn night. From beginning to end, the protagonist's movements are extremely limited. First, he stood on the steps and waited, then he went back to the house to see the moon.
