On the personality characteristics of Li Bai's drinking poems Li Bai is a talented poet bred by the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The spirit, emotion and spirit of the poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty are fully displayed in Li Bai's poems. From ancient times to the present, Li Bai's image in the hearts of people has always been closely related to wine and poetry. However, the one who truly integrates poetry, wine, and poets is Li Bai's drinking poems. These "intoxicating" poems may express heroic ambitions, expose the darkness of the world, reflect the dangers of official career, or reflect the ambivalence in difficulties... Studying the personality characteristics of Li Bai's drinking poems can not only understand Li Bai's personality charm with the characteristics of the times, but also understand the poet's indomitable attitude towards life. So, what are the personal characteristics of Li Bai’s drinking poems? This article is going to be briefly discussed from four aspects: 1. Bold and straightforward? Li Bai's drinking poems show the poet's moving character charm. "The Collection of Heroes in Heyue" records: "Bai Xing is addicted to alcohol, has no ambitions, and has been living in the woods for decades." . Wine and poets can be said to be me in you and you in me. In fact, throughout the Tang and Song Dynasties, there are many people who are good at both poetry and wine: Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi... However, they are not as popular as Li Bai's drinking poems. These poems in different styles show the poet's unique character traits: The two drank together, and the flowers bloomed on the mountain, one cup after another. I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away. I want to bring Qin to you tomorrow morning. ?Drinking with secluded people in the mountains. This is a tribute to wine, and also a tribute to the bold and straightforward spirit. The poet drank and sang wildly with the secluded nobles in the mountains with blooming mountain flowers. Even though he was drunk and almost collapsed, he still seemed to be unhappy. The poem focuses on the two people's enjoyment of drinking. They are hearty and high-spirited. Their expressions of drinking freely and indulgently reflect Li Bai's unrestrained, straightforward and simple wine master style. What is even more famous is the "Song of Xiangyang": The setting sun is about to disappear in Xianxi, and I am enchanted by holding flowers upside down. The children in Xiangyang clapped their hands together and blocked the street to sing "White Copper". Others asked him what he was laughing at, but the monkey was so drunk that he was as drunk as mud. Cormorant spoon, parrot cup. A hundred years and thirty-sixty days, three hundred cups must be poured a day... Similarly, this poem allows us to experience a kind of spiritual relaxation and liberation from Li Bai's drunkenness, from Li Bai's flying spirit and unrestrained personality. The poet uses a straightforward style to outline the image of a drunkard who is wild and unrestrained, and his bold and straightforward personality emerges vividly. Li Bai's poems are often written with unrestrained momentum, which has the characteristic of winning people over with his energy. This is also an external expression of the poet's inner temperament. It can be seen that whether when he is proud, "One hundred and thirty sixty days, three hundred cups must be poured out in one day", or after frustration, "cutting off the water with a knife, the water will flow more, raising a cup to relieve sorrow and make it worse", all show the poet's A generous and charming personality. "The Journey Is Difficult", "Yin of Liang Fu", "About to Enter the Wine", "Reply to the King Drinking Alone on a Twelve Cold Nights", etc., are all wild masterpieces, concrete expressions of the poet's heroic spirit and passionate feelings. Next, let's take Li Bai Compare "Going down Zhongnan Mountain to Dendrobium and stay with the mountain people to drink wine" with the poems of Tao Yuanming, a master of drinking poetry in the Jin Dynasty, in order to get a more direct understanding: From the bottom of Bishan Mountain at dusk, the mountain moon follows people back, but they pay attention to the path they came from. Green and green. Together with Tian's family, children's innocence blossoms. Green bamboo enters the quiet path, and green radish touches the clothes. There is room for happy conversation and good wine. The long song sings in the pines and the wind, and the songs are all over the river and the stars are sparse. I am drunk and you are happy again, and you are so happy that you forget your chance. In some of Li Bai's drinking poems, the arrogance and madness burst out and overflowed on the paper, but this poem has been greatly suppressed and restrained. The word "wave" describes Li Bai's mood of drinking heavily, drunkenly and passionately, singing loudly until the stars were scattered and everything was silent. It is not difficult to see that this poem by Li Bai was influenced by Tao's poems, but compared with Tao's poems, the meaning is still different. Tao Qian's "There may be several buckets of wine, and it is natural to have fun when drinking leisurely", "Everyone calls each other when passing by the door, and there is wine to drink", "How can you call me love, the dirty wine comes from Tao" and so on, taking advantage of the excitement, talking casually, lightly It means that it is absolutely necessary. In comparison, people feel that Li Bai's drinking and singing has a heroic spirit, which is a concrete expression of the poet's bold and straightforward personality, which is different from Tao Qian. 2. Arrogant and arrogant? Li Bai’s drinking poems are the external manifestation of the poet’s self-personality. Du Fu in his youth described Li Bai like this: “Li Bai wrote a hundred poems about a fight. He went to sleep in a restaurant in Chang’an City. The emperor couldn’t get on the boat when he called him. He called himself a minister. "I am an immortal in wine" ("Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking"). Du Fu's poems describing Li Bai strongly express Li Bai's arrogant and conceited character. If Du Fu in his early years once advised Li Bai's personality to "drink and sing in vain, and fly and be domineering to be the hero" ("Gift to Li Bai"), then in his later years Du Fu had already understood Li Bai's character. He wrote in " "Twenty Rhymes to Li Twelve and White" expresses his experience of knowing Li Bai for many years: "In the past, there was a crazy visitor who called him to banish the immortal... The drama talks about the wild and idle, and the drunkenness reveals the innocence." Li Bai is arrogant and conceited. , The straightforward and honest character is vividly depicted. Li Bai pursued a kind of unbridled absolute freedom throughout his life. Although he lived in a society that paid attention to equality, etiquette, and status, he rarely had this concept. Xuanzong, the emperor of the current dynasty, could "call me to be unable to board the ship, but he claimed that I was a wine fairy"; he even looked down upon the princes and nobles in reality: "In the past, I was drunk with flowers and willows in Chang'an, and the five nobles and seven nobles shared a glass of wine. "The air bank is far ahead of the powerful men, and the romance is willing to lag behind others" ("Liu Yelang Presents to Judge Xin"). Reading his poems is like seeing the person, so unscrupulous in the face of power, and the poet who joked and joked, Li Bai is the only poet in ancient and modern times. .
It can be said that the Dionysian spirit has been internalized as the driving force of personality in Li Bai's poems. The romantic, wild, arrogant and optimistic spiritual outlook expressed in his drinking poems is enough to make the poet arrogant and forget everything: Qinglian layman's banishment Immortal, the name of the wine shop is thirty springs. Why does the Sima of Huzhou need to ask? The golden millet Tathagata is the successor. ? Answer to Huzhou Kasyapa Sima's question about who Bai is. In the poem, Li Bai compares himself to a god hiding in a market restaurant. This arrogant self-affirmation, self-flag, and self-trust are the external manifestation of the poet's arrogant and conceited personality. Next, let us take "About to Enter the Wine" as an example to feel the arrogant personality revealed by the poet between the lines: If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky, and it will rush to the sea never to return. Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening. If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. It is my nature that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, but don’t stop drinking. A song with Junge, please listen to me... Reading this drinking poem by Li Bai, you can deeply understand the poet's arrogant and uninhibited cry. This poem is full of resistance to break free from restraints, criticize mediocrity, despise ethics and ethics, and break through the net. Consciousness and free spirit, this is Li Bai's outstanding personality and distinct self-awareness. The whole poem has few words but is grand, showing the poet's arrogant and confident personality. 3: Sentiment and anger? Li Bai’s drinking poems reflect the poet’s anger when he is frustrated. Li Bai is an idealist who lacks a sense of reality. His design for his life is to retire after success. Retirement is based on success, and his achievement of success is The way to achieve success is to "not give in to yourself and not interfere with others", soaring into the sky and becoming a blockbuster. Because of his wild character and behavior, he offended the powerful officials in the court and was eventually forced to leave Chang'an. The serious disconnect between ideal and reality makes the poet often depressed, sad and angry. As a result, the poet burst out with thunderous pain and anger, shouting that he would cook sheep and slaughter cows, sell furs and horses, "drink three hundred cups at a time" and "sell the eternal sorrow together", in order to vent his resentment that his ideals could not be realized. He exposed the dark side of the Li and Tang Dynasty more than once in his drinking poems, satirizing and criticizing the debauchery and tyranny of the supreme ruler. The sharpness of his writing, the passion of his emotions, and the fierceness of his criticisms are rare among poets at home and abroad, both ancient and modern. Next, we list some of Li Bai’s drinking poems after he was banished to feel the poet’s sentimental and angry mood after repeated setbacks. In 744 AD, Li Bai wrote the immortal masterpieces "The Road Is Difficult" and "Pouring Alone Under the Moon" : "The road is like the blue sky, and I alone cannot get there." "The wine in the gold bottle is worth ten thousand dollars, and the treasures in the jade plate are worth ten thousand dollars. I can't eat when I stop to drink and throw chopsticks. I draw my sword and look around with my heart at a loss." During that period, Li Bai was extremely lonely and helpless. Facing the dark reality, he had no choice but to "raise a glass to the bright moon and face the shadow as three people." After the return of Chang'an (752), Li Bai wrote another poem "Jinjinjiu" that shocked ancient and modern times. The old Yuefu title of this poem contains the idea of ??drinking and singing. The poet refused to associate it with this and wrote about the drinking after sadness and anger in a passionate way. This kind of momentum and power like a rushing river shows Li Bai's wild personality. At the same time, it also expresses the poet's deep sadness and indignation. In the last year of Tianbao (753) and on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai was in extreme depression and completed "Farewell to Secretary Shu Yun at Xie Tiao Tower in Xuanzhou" and "Reply to the King's Thoughts Alone on Twelve Cold Nights": "Abandon Me Those who go away from yesterday cannot stay, and those who mess up my mind will bring more worries today." "Cut the knife to cut off the water, the water will flow more, raise the cup to eliminate the sorrow, and the sorrow will become more sorrowful." The contradiction between Li Bai's progressive thoughts and the dark reality was at the time It is impossible to realize it under historical conditions; "The fish's eyes also laugh at me, saying that I am the same as the bright moon." "Hualiu boxing cannot be eaten, and the donkey's ambition sings in the spring breeze." Faced with the dark reality of the political affairs of the Li and Tang dynasties, the sages and sycophants were close to each other. The poet Very angry, but helpless, the anger in my heart is understandable. 4. Persistent optimism? Li Bai's drinking poems show the poet's positive attitude towards life. Li Bai's heart is contradictory. Facing the dirty reality, he realizes that his ideals cannot be realized in reality. However, the poet did not become decadent because of this. In his drinking poems, whether expressing the pursuit of ideals or resistance to oppression, there is a burning passion like fire. Even the poet's drinking poems in his later years still maintain a high-spirited and heroic spirit. For example, "Xuanzhou Xie Tiao Lou Farewell School Secretary Shu Yun" says: Those who abandon me and leave will not be able to stay in yesterday's day; those who mess up my heart will have many worries today. The long winds send autumn geese flying thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building. The Penglai article is built with bones in mind, and the small Xie in the middle has clear hair. They are all full of joy, strong and full of joy, and want to go up to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon. Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more; raising a cup to pour out the sorrow will make it more sorrowful. Life is unsatisfactory in this world, and the Ming Dynasty will be ruined. It can be seen that although Li Bai was mentally depressed, the lines of the whole poem are still filled with heroic and generous feelings. The two sentences "Changfeng" and "Jihuai" are more like sad music. It plays a high and optimistic tone. The two sentences "drawing the knife" also express strong depression while showing a stubborn character. The poet's attitude towards life is fanatical. This fanatical attitude allows him to move forward fearlessly even when surrounded by powerful dark forces. Therefore, the whole poem does not give people the feeling of gloom and despair, but shows a heroic and heroic spirit in the melancholy, showing the poet's positive and optimistic attitude towards life. It can be said that Li Bai's ideal personality not only did not fade after encountering setbacks and obstacles in his political career, but also became more shining. This is what is lovely about Li Bai, what is valuable about Li Bai, and what is even more respectable about Li Bai.
Below, we will excerpt Li Bai's drinking poems and compare them with several couplets from the late Tang Dynasty poet Li He's drinking poems to further understand Li Bai's attitude towards life after his frustration: When you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle empty to face the moon. It is my nature that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent. ?"Jinjinjiu" Li Bai It is the end of youth, and the peach blossoms are falling like red rain. I advise you to be drunk all day long, and the wine will not be buried in Liu Ling's grave. ?"About Wine" by Li He Through comparison, we can see that although there is sadness in Li Bai's drinking poems, they are not pessimistic. In his view, as long as "life is successful", there will be no regrets and one should indulge in joy. "To be happy in life, you must have all the fun." This seems to promote the idea of ????carpe diem. However, this is just a phenomenon. The poet did not become depressed, but affirmed life and himself in an optimistic and strong tone: "I am born with talents that will be useful." ”, this is an amazing sentence. "Useful" and "necessary", how confident! Therefore, from the seemingly negative phenomenon, a positive attitude towards life that is unrecognized and eager to be used in the world is revealed. However, in Li He's drinking poems, the poet only used figurative language to explain that "youth is approaching twilight". Life does not give people many happy days, and they need to enjoy themselves in time. The idea of ??death and the bleak image of "dust on the grave" appear in the last sentence, which vividly and truly reveal the contradiction and depression in the poet's heart that death is both sad and life is boring, reflecting the poet's negative and pessimistic attitude towards life. The above discusses the personality characteristics of Li Bai's drinking poems from four aspects. In short, as a giant of Tang culture, Li Bai's drinking poems fully reflect the poet's unique personality. "A thousand quick poems, a glass of wine", this is Du Fu's summary of Li Bai's life. In the cultural tradition of China's feudal society where individual consciousness is suppressed by orthodox ideas, Li Bai showed the arrogance in his drinking poems. A confident, straightforward and natural personality undoubtedly has great charm. The poet feels the power of life in the passion and excitement of drinking, expresses his love for life, and reveals his free and unrestrained attitude towards life. At the same time, Li Bai, who is full of romanticism, also has a strong fighting spirit. Faced with the powerful reality that "everyone wants to kill", the poet is persistent and angry, but does not passively avoid the world. He treats everything with his optimistic and cheerful spirit, showing that Positive and optimistic mental outlook. .
