Jiangbai
On Mulan's boat, pipes are blown at both ends of the boat. There are thousands of guests in the wine, and prostitutes go with the flow.
The immortal in the Yellow Crane Tower is still waiting for the Yellow Crane to leave, but I have no heart to swim with Bai Ou on foot this time. Qu Ping's Ci hangs the sun and the moon, and Chu Wang's pavilion is empty.
As soon as I was happy, I put pen to paper and shook the five mountains. After the poem was written, the sound of Xiao Ao, Xiao Ao, went straight into the sea. If fame and wealth can be used in the Han River, I am afraid that the northwest will be fought back by the northwest.

This is an improvisational work. This poem shows the author's contempt for fame and fortune, his admiration for Qu Yuan's Ci and Fu, his conceit of his poetic talent, and his lofty mind and extraordinary interest.
The first four sentences describe the scene of prostitutes listening to songs and having fun by the river with wine in their hands. The boats and paddles used by poets are all made of precious exotic wood. At both ends of the boat, geisha are playing the flute. The poet, satiated with food and wine, listened to songs and laughed with joy, and let Lanzhou wander freely in the river. With gorgeous rhetoric and grandiose description, the poet created a rare atmosphere in the world, highlighted his wild and uninhibited mode, and expressed his strong desire to transcend the turbid reality and enter a free and beautiful world.
Combining local myths and historical allusions, the poet is floating for longevity and getting rid of fame and fortune, which is an affirmation and praise for boating on the river. The poet is boating on the river, free and happy, as if the fairy is just waiting to ride a yellow crane; Tao Ran forgot his plane, just like people on the seashore are playing Bai Ou. The images of "Yellow Crane" and "Bai Ou" are the externalization of the poet's carefree mood at this moment. These two sentences "Qu Ping's Ci and Fu" express the pursuit of the ideal realm of life. Qu Yuan's magnificent poems are like the sun and the moon hanging high, shining through the ages, while the luxurious pavilions and pavilions of the King of Chu have long since disappeared, leaving only a barren hill. Looking at the universe, the poet compares the two typical lifestyles of Qu Yuan and Wang Chu, revealing the historical law that fame and fortune cannot last long, but the great cause of articles can be immortal.
The last four sentences further deepen and develop the couplets of Qu Ping's Ci and Fu from both positive and negative aspects. The two sentences of "Xing Han" are based on Qu Ping's Ci and Fu, echoing the boating on the river, and expressing the strong desire to make Ci immortal. Poets have a strong interest in poetry, and when they put pen to paper, they are magnificent and invincible, which can shake mountains; After the completion of this poem, Li Zhuo proudly said that his broad mind could overwhelm the rivers and seas. The two heroic sentences show the author's high confidence in his literary talent, vividly depict the poet's manner of quenching thirst by drinking medicine and composing poems with distinct personality characteristics. In the last two sentences, the poet's enthusiasm and open-mindedness of "laughing but arrogant" is further concretized and visualized. The poet writes from the opposite side, using the impossible thing that the Han River flows westward to compare fame and fortune can not last long, strengthening the intensity of negation, including sharp ridicule and resolute contempt for the real society, and showing the poet's arrogant spirit of contempt for rulers and their dignitaries.
The whole poem is full of emotion, vivid and heroic. In particular, the combination of Qu Ping's Ci and Fu, which is free from vulgarity, alert and inspiring, is a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages. Structurally, the first four sentences of this poem are memorable, the middle four sentences are allusions, the last four sentences are expressive, and the composition is scattered and unique. Wang Qi, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said, "Although this kind of composition is based on Yi Cai, it may not add a lot of dismal management, and it may not be beyond the reach of a hundred pieces of wine" (seven notes of The Complete Works of Li Taibai). Ideologically, on the one hand, the poet despises fame and fortune and wants to live forever like Qu Yuan, but the life of Yu Di Jinguan, who carries prostitutes and wine, described in the first four sentences is exactly what fame and fortune people are obsessed with. It reflects the contradiction with individual characteristics in Li Bai's thought.

Poems on the River was written by Li Bai when he was traveling in Jiangxia in his thirties and forties. This poem is one of the chapters that can best represent Li Bai's ideological and artistic characteristics.
Tang Ruxun said that the theme of this poem is "This is because the world is forced to pass, but it is also determined to have fun" (Interpretation of Tang Poetry, Volume XIII). Although not comprehensive and accurate, he pointed out that the poet sang this poem because he felt the reality that "the world was forced to pass away", which was very pertinent. Reading "Song on the River" is easy to remind people of "Farewell" in "Songs of the South": "When you are sad, customs force you to go into battle lightly."
This poem, born by the river, shows the poet's contempt for vulgar and cramped reality and his pursuit of freedom and the ideal of a better life.
Although the first four sentences are scenes of river trips, they are not truthfully described, but are described in an exaggerated and idealized way, showing gorgeous colors and an atmosphere beyond the world. "Mulan Shatangzhou" is made of precious and magical wood: "Yu Di Golden Tube sits at both ends", and the exquisiteness of the musical instrument is remarkable: "Wine welcomes thousands", which shows that the wine is rich and prosperous: "Take prostitutes with the waves, stay and forget to return", which is endless fun. In a word, the boat on this river is enough to make poetry and wine for entertainment, and it is a free and beautiful world beyond the turbid reality.
The middle four sentences are connected in pairs and compared in pairs. "Immortal" is connected, and it is definitely connected with "Qu Ping" to praise boating on the river surface, revealing the historical significance of ideal life. "Immortals need to ride a yellow crane", even if they become immortals, they still have to wait. If the yellow crane doesn't come, they can't go to heaven. But when I was boating on the river, "the sea traveler accidentally followed Bai Ou", but I forgot my cleverness. I don't know what things are and what I am. Isn't it more immortal than the fairy who looked at the yellow crane eagerly? In this state, fame and fortune, honor and disgrace in the world are poor, not to mention. Therefore, pitching the universe and looking at the ancient and modern times, we have reached a completely opposite understanding with the mediocre people who are "talking about the sky and the earth": "Qu Ping's Ci and Fu hang the sun and the moon, and the King of Chu stands in the sky"! When you go boating between Jianghan, you will naturally think of Qu Yuan and the King of Chu, and the warning of this association lies in taking Qu Yuan and the King of Chu as two typical life examples and clearly opposing them. Qu Yuan devoted himself to patriotism, was exiled, and finally drowned in Miluo. His ci can win glory with the sun and the moon and remain immortal. The king of Chu was dissolute and extravagant, and died for the disaster of national subjugation. Temples and pavilions built by enslaved people have long since disappeared, and desolate hills are everywhere. This connection vividly shows that what belongs to progress in history will be immortal, and what belongs to reaction will inevitably perish; There is also the meaning that a writer's great cause is immortal, but his position is unshakable.
At the end of these four sentences, "Qu Ping" is followed by a couplet. The second sentence of Xing Han inherits Qu Ping's theory of ci and fu, and also responds to the beginning of boating on the river. It is extremely heroic and vividly depicts the poet's self-elation, contempt for everything when he writes poetry, and his arrogant and unrestrained manner. "Shaking Five Mountains" is a heroic and invincible brushwork; "Lingcangzhou" is a bold mind. Finally, "if fame and fortune exist, Hanshui River should also flow to the northwest", said King Taixu of Chu, and at the same time, it further concretized and visualized "Laughter". It is not positive to say that fame and fortune will not grow, and it is negative to say that it is impossible, which strengthens the power of negation, shows irresistible momentum and has a sharp irony. The ideological content of this poem is basically positive. On the other hand, it is not advisable for poets to praise debauchery and wanton enjoyment as an ideal way of life. Taking care of Yu Di, carrying wine and prostitutes, isn't it also the infatuation of fame and fortune? This is the contradiction of Li Bai's thought. This contradiction is obvious in many of his poems, which has become a limitation with great personality characteristics.
The poem consists of twelve sentences, vivid in image, passionate in emotion, heroic in momentum and clear in tone. I only thought it was a magical line after reading it. Judging from the structure and organization of the whole poem, it is dense and unique. The beginning is a vivid image description, which immediately brings the reader into an unusual realm. The two couplets in the middle belong to the ending, while the poem is positive and negative, which expands the capacity of the poem and makes it full of ups and downs. At the end of the four sentences, exaggeration is extremely emphasized, and the feelings are even more passionate, hearty and unrestrained, showing endless power. Wang Qi said: "Although this kind of composition is dominated by Yi Cai, it may not add a lot of bleak management, and it may not be out of the ear of a hundred articles" (Note on Song on the River in Volume 7 of The Complete Works of Li Taibai). This is a realistic view after careful experience.
