Birds in the mountains flew away one by one, and the last white cloud in the sky floated away leisurely.
Jingtingshan and I looked at each other, and no one could get enough of it. It seems that only Jingting Mountain understands me.
Appreciation of Jingting Mountain sitting alone:
This poem is a masterpiece of the poet to express his spiritual world. 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.
"Birds fly high, and lonely clouds go to leisure alone." The first two sentences of this five-line poem say that birds fly high without a shadow, and lonely clouds go for fun alone.
The first two sentences seem to describe the scene in front of us, but in fact they write all the loneliness: several birds in the sky fly away 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. The words "tired" and "idle" bring readers into a state of peace: it seems that after eliminating the noise of a mountain bird, it feels particularly quiet; After the thick rolling clouds disappeared, I felt particularly quiet. Therefore, these two sentences are "dynamic" and "static", and "dynamic" is used to set off "static", which is a foil to the poet's spiritual loneliness. This vivid writing can give readers association, and imply that the poet has been visiting Jingting Mountain for a long time, and outline the image of him sitting alone fascinated, paving the way for the next couplet.
The images of these two sentences are juxtaposed in the form of "the stars arch the moon". The central word "bird" in the previous sentence is the central image, and the word "fly" is added to form a compound image, which strengthens the dynamic expression meaning. Birds can remind readers of the quiet and peaceful scene in the mountains. Birds are singing euphemistically in the empty mountains, which makes them interesting. At present, birds fly high and get farther and farther away from people. The word "Gao" has played a role in expanding space. Looking up, in the empty blue sky, birds are flying away until they are out of sight. The word "gold" enhances the expressive force of this sentence and shows Li Bai's melancholy at this time. The last sentence "cloud" is the central word, which is compounded with "go", and the silent cloud is drifting away. And clouds are not all over the sky, just "solitary clouds" without companions, just drifting away leisurely and slowly. The poet used "leisure" to write the state of the solitary cloud, highlighting the process of leaving, so that readers can feel the poet's inner pain and helplessness when they taste the state of the solitary cloud leaving.
Three or four sentences, "Never tire of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain", personify Jingting Mountain in a romantic way. Although the bird flew away, the poet didn't go back, and he didn't want to go back. He stared at the quiet and beautiful Jingting Mountain for a long time and felt that Jingting Mountain seemed to be looking at himself affectionately. There is no need to say anything between them, and they have reached emotional communication. "Never tire of looking at each other" expresses the deep feelings between the poet and Jingting Mountain. "Xiang" and "Liang" are synonymous, which closely connects the poet with Jingting Mountain and shows strong feelings. At the same time, Looking at each other also points out that at this moment, only the lonely scene of "mountain" and "me" is as important as the word "two", and the interdependence between mountains and people arises spontaneously. The word "only" in the conclusion is also tempered, which highlights the poet's love for Jingting Mountain. "It's enough to have a bosom friend in life", and the bird flying away is nothing to the poet. 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.
The moving images of "birds" and "lonely clouds" are opposite to the static images of "Jingting Mountain". There is only quantitative change in the dimensions of time and space, but qualitative change in the psychological dimension: literati with ideals and talents who are suppressed by politics are often particularly sensitive to "passing away" and "dissipation", with short personnel and eternal universe. The poet introduced the eternal mountain as his confidant, probably because he had no choice but to do it after Chang 'an was invisible. Even if Chang 'an attracts him, he doesn't know whether he will follow the "birds flying high".
In the poet's pen, Jingting Mountain has no beautiful mountains, no beautiful streams and no beautiful bridges. It is not that there is nothing to write about Jingting Mountain, because Jingting Mountain "faces Wanxi in the east and the city in the south, sailing in the vast market with picturesque scenery". From the perspective of poetry, it is impossible to know the position of the poet relative to the mountain, perhaps at the top of the mountain or in the open area, but these are not important. The purpose of writing this poem is not to praise the scenery, but to express feelings through the scenery and the quiet scenery here. The poet found solace in the anthropomorphic Jingting Mountain and seemed to feel less lonely. However, it is here that the poet's inner loneliness is more prominent. The deep loneliness in the world and the tragic atmosphere of the poet's life are full of the whole poem. The whole poem seems to be full of scenery, but it has no emotion. But because the scenery is composed of emotion, every sentence is emotion, just like Wang Fuzhi said, "There is a scene in love, and there is love in the scene."

Jingting Mountain: In the north of Xuancheng City, Anhui Province today. "Yuanhe County Records" records: "It is ten miles north of Xuancheng County. There are Song Wanting and Tiger Peeping Springs in the mountains. " "Jiangnan Tongzhi" Volume 16 Ningguo Mansion: "Jingting Mountain is ten miles north of the mansion. Fu Zhiyun: It is said in ancient times that there are picturesque scenery in the east, ten thousand buildings in the east, cities in the south and sails in the tobacco market. "
Lonely Cloud: Tao Yuanming's Poem for Helping the Poor contains the phrase "Lonely Cloud alone". Zhu Jian's note: "I sit alone, birds fly away, and some people are ruthless and don't date each other." The unique mountain of Jingting looks like this, but it doesn't hate each other. " Go for leisure alone: go alone, go alone. Idle, describe the clouds floating around, carefree appearance. Lonely clouds are floating around.
Never tire of seeing two things: the poet and Jingting Mountain. Tired and satisfied.
About the author:
Li Bai (70 1-762), whose real name is Taibai, was named a violet layman. He is the most unique and greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan. He has the reputation of "poetic immortal" and is also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. His poems are mainly lyrical, showing the arrogant spirit of contempt for powerful people, expressing sympathy for people's sufferings, being good at depicting natural scenery and expressing his love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The poetic style is magnificent and bold, the imagination is rich, the language flows naturally, the melody is harmonious and changeable, and it is good at absorbing nutrients and materials from folk literature and myths and legends, which constitutes its unique magnificent and gorgeous color and reaches the peak of poetic art in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are more than 1000 poems, including 30 volumes of Li Taibai's Collection.
Creative background:
This poem was written in Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (744), a year after Li Bai's political career was frustrated. Zhan E's Chronicle of Li Bai's Poems was written in the 12th year of Tianbao (753), and it is considered that it was written before and after Deng Jingting's visit to the south of the mountain and his nostalgia for Dou Zhushu. In the twelfth year of Tianbao, Li Bai went south to Xuancheng. Before the trip, there was a poem "To send my brother Xuanzhou to be the satrap of Zhao Shi", saying, "The second assistant is Xuancheng County, and the officer is at leisure. Chang Zan Yun Yue invited me to worship Tingshan. " Li Bai has been wandering for a long time since he was released from the Hanlin ten years ago. The long-term wandering life 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 arrogance and stubbornness remain the same as before. I have been depressed because I have no talent. Physical and mental fatigue needs 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 that the writing age of Sitting Alone in Jingting Mountain is debatable. In which year this poem was written, there is no indication in Li Bai's manuscript, but it is concluded that this poem was written in the twelfth year of Tianbao. Perhaps this poem was not written in the 12th year of Tianbao, but by Tang Suzong in the 2nd year of Shangyuan (76 1). In the late Yuan Dynasty, Li Bai was in his sixties. After wandering after the Anshi Rebellion, going through unjust imprisonment and humiliation of being exiled with crimes, when Li Bai came to Xuancheng for the seventh and last time, there was no scene of welcoming guests like clouds, and there was no elegance in drinking and talking about poetry in the North Building. He hobbled up Jingting Mountain 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.

"Tang poetry is really interesting": birds fill the sky, lonely clouds walk alone, the breeze is vivid, and people sit at ease. Is it tiring to write Jingting Mountain as a good friend and have a heart-to-heart talk? With Jingting, if there is an affinity here? However, this feeling is endless, and it is wonderful to use the word "never tired of it" to describe it. For the word "sitting alone", it is vivid, writing about the soul, without traces of pen and ink.
Poetic style: The first sentence "bird" refers to the generation of fame and fortune in the world, and all the words "flying high" are proud of it, which is a portrayal of the word "independence". "Lonely cloud" means secluded world, and the word "going alone for leisure" is forgotten with the world. And there are traces of contact. The word "independence" is not the word "independence" in the title, but the word "exhaustion" should be added. Three sentences look at "look at each other", seeing people looking at the mountain, and the mountain seems to be looking at people; "two things are never tired", people see mountains, and mountains are like lovers. The word "only" in the four sentences shows that only people love to see mountains, and it seems that only people love to see mountains. In addition to Jingting Mountain, the word "sitting alone" is vividly on the paper. (product) is high and broad.
"Poetic Landscape": The last two sentences take the mountain as a metaphor, saying that the world inherits me, but I can never get tired of seeing the scenery of Jingting Mountain, and the mountain loves me. My husband Qingshan is desolate and heartless, and he doesn't know how to hate love, but he is too white and cynical, and he wants to be independent and seek a bosom friend in heartless things.
"Li Taibai Poetry Alcohol": Yan Canglang said: With Hanshan as a stone, mountains have ears; Look at Jingting Mountain, but the mountain has a purpose: it is not afraid of killing people under heaven. The ancients had a broad vision and were so lonely. Yun Pan: Different birds and clouds are easy to give up, and people are never tired of mountains; The temporary confrontation between exotic birds and clouds is that the mountain never tires of people: therefore, it is called "two". However, the mountain is ruthless and people are affectionate, just sitting alone.
The essence of Tang poetry: the first two sentences are what you see when you sit alone, and three or four sentences are what you feel when you sit alone. Say "two things are never tired", and you will feel that there is love in the mountains, a white fengshen, and those who are not secular know it, and those who know it are beautiful in the mountains.
Shi Lijie: This person has a provocative vision when sitting.
