Li Bai's Imaginary Poems

Pi Rixiu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once said in "Inscription by Liu Zaoqiang": "If you speak out of heaven and earth, you must think about ghosts and gods. If you read them, you will be attracted by octupole. If you measure them, you will be aboveboard. Those who are really not secular have Li Taibai. " In layman's terms, it is Li Bai's poems, which are strange in imagination, lofty in artistic conception and full of romantic spirit, and most people can't write them. For example, Li Bai's Deng Taibai Peak is one of the classics of this kind of poetry.

Deng Taibai Peak is a five-character ancient poem written by Li Bai. It was written by Li Bai when he sacrificed to the Hanlin in Beijing. Because "ugliness is in the same column, harm can lead to slander, aphorisms don't enter, and the emperor uses them with caution" (preface to Li Caotang's Collection), Li Bai's political ambition has never been realized, and he feels very disappointed and depressed. It was in this mood that Li Bai wrote this song "Climbing the Taibai Peak".

As for the artistic features of this poem, apart from its peculiar imagination and rich imagination. It is also a method of turning reality into emptiness and taking emptiness as reality. Therefore, in Li Bai's poems, there is no word "Gao" throughout, and every sentence is high. Let's take a concrete look at Li Bai's "Deng Taibai Peak":

Mount Taibai Peak in the west and climb the peak at sunset.

Venus greeted me and opened the customs for me.

I want to fly among the clouds in the breeze.

You can get close to the moon by raising your hand, and there seems to be no mountain obstacle to fly forward.

Say goodbye to martial arts, when can I see it again?

In the first two sentences, "there is Taibai Mountain in the west, and the sunset is poor." Li Bai immediately described the experience of climbing Taibai Mountain. That is, climb Taibai Mountain from the west and climb to the top at sunset. So these two poems also set off the towering Taibai Mountain from the side. Taibai Peak, or Taibai Mountain, is the main peak of Qinling Mountains, located 90 miles south of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province. The mountain peak is extremely high, with snow all year round. As the saying goes, "Kung Fu is too white, it costs 300 yuan".

However, in such a majestic Taibai Mountain, Li Bai climbed to the top, showing the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and striving for progress. So Li Bai's climb to Taibai Mountain was his imagination. "Taibai speaks to me and opens the sky for me", that is, Li Bai seems to hear Taibai Star greet him and open the door to heaven for him. From these two poems, we can see the strange imagination of dialogue. Here, we use the method of turning reality into reality to show the majestic Taibai Mountain.

The next two sentences, "I would like to ride the wind straight out of the clouds", are still Li Bai's unique imagination, that is, Li Bai fantasizes that he will ride the breeze, fly among the clouds and rush to heaven. These two poems are lofty in artistic conception and open in realm, which shows Li Bai's free and brisk mood and symbolizes his birth. And Zhuangzi's "Fu Liezi rides against the wind, Ling Ran is good" has the same effect.

The next two sentences, "raise your hand and cast your feet in the near future, and move forward without mountains", are the concrete embodiment of Li Bai's lofty aspirations. It means that you can get close to the moon by raising your hand, and there seems to be no obstacle to flying forward. It can be seen that its artistic conception is similar to Li Bai's own "we are both lofty to distant thoughts, who wants to go to the sky and embrace the bright moon", and these two sentences are also written from the side.
