Shu Dao Nan is the masterpiece of Li Bai, a great poet in China in the Tang Dynasty. There are 294 words in the poem, which expresses the difficulty of Shu Dao with the danger of mountains and rivers, giving people a thrilling feeling and fully expressing the poet's romantic temperament and feelings of loving the motherland. There are many hidden pictures in the poem, whether it is the height of mountains, the urgency of water, the improvement of rivers and mountains, the desolation of trees, or even the danger of peaks and cliffs, all of which are threatening. Its magnificent weather and vast realm are beyond others' reach. As Shen Deqian, a poetry critic in the Qing Dynasty, said, "The strokes are vertical and horizontal, such as flying, and the fingers are like thunder."
This poem was written by Li Bai when he first came to Chang 'an in the early years of Tianbao (742-756 after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty). "Difficulties in Shu Road" is an ancient theme of Yuefu. He developed a rich imagination about it, focused on describing the wonderful and breathtaking mountains and rivers on Qin Shu Road, and revealed some worries and worries about society.
This poem is a parody of the old theme of Yuefu, which is intended to send friends to Sichuan. The poet developed a rich imagination in a romantic way, artistically recreating the spectacular, abrupt, tenacious and rugged Sichuan road and the majestic momentum that could not be surpassed, thus singing the magnificent scenery of Sichuan mountains and rivers and showing the magnificent scenery of the motherland.
As for whether this poem has a deeper meaning, there are different opinions in the past dynasties. But as far as poetry is concerned, it is not necessarily meaningful to analyze it. But it can be seen from the poem, "What if he is not loyal, but a wolf to his companions?" It is about the beautiful mountains and rivers of Shu, warning the authorities that Shu is dangerous and the people should defend it well.
Poetic prose is mixed, the sentences are uneven, the brushwork is vertical and horizontal, and it is bold and free. The whole poem has strong feelings, three sighs and repeated cycles, which makes people excited to read.
Poets generally follow the clues from ancient times to the present, from Qin to Shu, and describe them by grasping the landscape characteristics of various places to show the difficulty of Shu Dao.
