Sima is an idle person who has nothing to do. Those? A person who has been an official for a long time, has high qualifications but no practical ability, is mediocre and doesn't want to give up his official position? , often placed in this position. As Bai Juyi said: If there are people and animals, who want to help them, live in the Yangtze River for one day; If someone keeps his ambition and forgets his name, he will be content to be a good person, although he will be tired of life. Zhou is, not Sima Gong; Bad county government is not Sima's crime. Nothing to blame, no worries. ? (Jiangzhou Sima Guild Hall)
Bai Juyi is obviously not satisfied with this situation. When he was still living in Weibei village, he had made up his mind. Help the world? Don't want to? Alone? Yes He intended to make a difference after returning to Chang 'an, but he was soon pushed out, and his depressed mood can be imagined. Although his life is relatively leisurely, Jiangzhou secretariat is also very enthusiastic about him, but this can not eliminate his political depression. In the book with Yang Yuqing, he wrote the mood at that time, which shows his negative attitude towards the world:
Miss Gao's first step: Now, I am safe and obedient, and I will spend time. Or recall, want free and noble rivers and lakes, from now on. If you die, you will be buried in the belly of a fish, and if you live, you will be like a flock of birds and animals. You must never measure your judgment with those who are eager to make profits. The next generation will never see the light and dust of servants again.
Bai Juyi is in a situation where there is nothing to do. He sometimes travels to some nearby places. He has been to Lushan Mountain and lived in Tolin Temple, where he formed a karma with the abbot and monk. The scenery around the incense burner peak is very lingering, which once aroused his idea of dying here. Later, he really built a thatched cottage here. In the spring of the twelfth year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi set out to build a thatched cottage in the north of Xiangfeng Mountain in Lushan Mountain, which was completed in March and then lived in it. The poet seems to have found his spiritual home here. For the new thatched cottage under the incense burner peak, it is a matter of chanting and writing on the stone.
North of censer peak and west of Ai Yi Temple.
Why is the white stone chiseled and the clear stream gurgling?
There are dozens of pine trees and thousands of bamboo poles.
Loose Zhang Cui umbrella cover, bamboo leaning against green hills.
There is no one living under it, and it has been long for many years.
Speaking of the past, I will celebrate this day. When I get old, I will go back to the mountains.
Tired birds get luxuriant trees, and dried fish return to Qingyuan.
There are many dangers and difficulties in the world.
Bai Juyi was totally immersed in the natural environment here for a short time. However, Xanadu is an illusion after all, and the poet's mood is still not calm. This lament is revealed at the end of the poem "Ruyang sent Yuan Zhong, Yu San San is far away".
His ideal could not be realized at that time, and his heart was full of loneliness and desolation. It is unbearable for Bai Juyi that a poet who has deep sympathy for the sufferings of the people is completely divorced from the people! In his long poem Pipa Xing, he expressed his feelings deeply and movingly. The unfortunate experience of a divorced woman described in the poem has the shadow of the poet himself. The piercing music and the gloomy night at the head of Xunyang River all add to the poet's enthusiasm? Falling into the mortal world? The feeling. In the Song Dynasty, Hong Mai's Rong Zhai Shi Hua (Volume 3) recorded this:
Bai Letian's Pipa Xing is an article, but it is not enough for readers to admire its style and respect its lyrics and chapters. So it's really for Chang 'an, so I doubt it in advance. The meaning of lotte is to write the ear of the horizon.
In December of the 13th year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi was promoted from Jiangzhou Sima to Zhongzhou Secretariat on the recommendation of his good friend Cui Qun. This is an unexpected thing. He can't wait to leave here at once. With gratitude, he wrote a song "Send Xie except Zhongzhou" to Cui Qun:
Being promoted is exhausting, boasting that life is interesting and profound.
The blade is broken and difficult to beat, and the tung tail is burnt and ugly.
Feeling two lines of tears, grateful for an inch of chilling.
Why do you need to ask loyalty and dislike? A bird must choose a cage instead of a forest.
It can be seen that Bai Juyi's mood changes are complicated in Jiangzhou for more than three years. This complex emotional change is clearly reflected in his poems. The vigor and fighting spirit shown in his early poems are gradually declining. Passionate voices like "New Yuefu" and "Qin Zhongyin" are hard to hear. In many of the poet's works, there are more deep sighs and melancholy elegies.
Bai Juyi's unhappy life in Jiangzhou is a turning point in his life and creative process. After that, the poet? Help the world? Political enthusiasm has declined. Alone? Ideas floating in the poet's mind.
