It's Hard to Go to Heaven reflects the poet's desire to display his ambition and his anger and ambivalence towards reality. The whole poem revolves around the fierce contradiction between ideal and reality. Through a series of colorful images and rapidly changing scenes, it vividly and hierarchically shows the author's inner contradictions and emotional changes, sometimes depressed, sometimes indignant, sometimes at a loss, and sometimes optimistic and open-minded. For example, at the beginning of the poem, Li Bai, who always believed, "Oh, let a man with spirit venture to his favorite place and never point his golden cup at the moon!" " I threw my food bar and cup aside, I couldn't eat or drink, I pulled out my dagger, and I peeped in four directions in vain. This reflects the inner contradiction, and also reveals the inner anguish and confusion, especially the use of four verbs, which vividly depicts the poet's depressed and struggling self-image. Another example is, "I would like to cross the Yellow River, cross the ferry with ice and climb the Taihang Mountain with snow", which turns the contradiction between reality and ideal of "walking" and "difficulty" into a concrete and sensible image, and makes people perceive the poet's ambivalence of sadness but not injury, sadness and strength from the image of the poem. The whole poem describes the author's rich and complicated feelings as both ups and downs and free and easy.
The poem expresses the poet's optimistic and confident attitude towards life when he encounters difficulties on the political road, and expresses his ambition to show his great ambition ("helping the poor" and "securing the country") in the face of rough life.
