Creation background
Zhan E's "Li Bai Shi Nian" was written in the 12th year of Tianbao (AD 753). It is considered to be a work of Deng Jingting's looking south and recalling the past, as a gift to Dou Zhushu. In the twelfth year of Tianbao, Li Bai went south to Xuancheng and was released to Hanlin ten years ago. Li Bai has been wandering for a long time, and his long-term wandering life has made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world, thus deepening his dissatisfaction with reality and increasing his sense of loneliness. However, his proud and stubborn character remains the same.
I have been depressed and tired because of lack of talent, and I need comfort. During this period, he wrote a lot of poems to relieve his depression by wandering around immortals and drinking, and also wrote a lot of poems to express his feelings and feelings. Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain is one of them.
Some people also put forward different views, thinking that the writing year of this poem is not indicated in Li Bai's manuscript, and that this poem was written in Tianbao 12 years is only the conclusion drawn by later generations. It is more likely that this poem was written in Tang Suzong in the second year of last Yuan (76 1).
In the second year of Shang Dynasty (76 1), Li Bai was in his sixties. Wandering after An Shi Rebellion experienced the humiliation of unjust imprisonment and exile with crime. Li Bai came to Xuancheng for the seventh time and for the last time. There was no scene of guests and friends like clouds and welcoming guests, and there was no elegance of indulging in wine and talking about poetry in the North Building.
He hobbled up Jingting Mountain alone, and sat alone for a long time. He felt moved by the scene before him, very sad, lonely and desolate, and couldn't help singing the poem "Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain". This is more in line with the time and space background of Li Bai's creation of this poem.
Poetry appreciation
On the surface, this poem describes a person's interest in traveling in Jingting Mountain, but its deep meaning is the poet's loneliness all his life. With his peculiar imagination and ingenious conception, the poet gave life to the landscape and personified Jingting Mountain, which was very vivid. The author writes about his loneliness and his lack of talent, but he is more determined and seeks comfort and sustenance in nature.
The first two lines of this poem, "Birds fly high, and lonely clouds go to leisure alone", seem to describe the scene in front of us, but in fact they have written all the sad feelings: several birds fly high in the sky until they disappear; There is still a white cloud in the vast sky, but I don't want to stay and drift away slowly, as if everything in the world is rejecting poets.
Write "dynamic" to see "static" and compare "static" with "dynamic". This "quietness" reflects the loneliness and loneliness of the poet's mind. This vivid writing can give readers association, and imply that the poet has been visiting Jingting Mountain for a long time, outlining his image of "sitting alone" and paving the way for the next couplet "never tired of looking at each other".
Three or four sentences, "Never tire of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain", personify Jingting Mountain in a romantic way. The artistic conception created by these two poems is still "quiet". On the surface, it is written that the poet looks at Jingting Mountain with deep affection. In fact, the more poets write about the "sentimentality" of mountains, the more they show people's "ruthlessness"; And his lonely and desolate situation is revealed in this quiet scene.
