This poem is from Seventeen Poems of Autumn Pu, which is a set of poems written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was created during the Tianbao period of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty. These seventeen poems were written by Li Yu Tianbao when he visited Qiupu for the second time in the 13th year (754). This work is one of Li Bai's representative works. The poet enthusiastically praised the life, love and beautiful sentiments of the woodcutter, boatman, fisherman and smelter.
It is a poem that describes and praises smelting workers positively. In China's voluminous classical poems, it is rare, so it is precious. As soon as the poem begins, it presents a smelting scene with bright colors and warm atmosphere: flaming fire, red star splashing, purple smoke transpiration, and the vast world is illuminated by red flames.
The poet used two seemingly ordinary words, "Zhao" and "Luan", but once refined into poetry, it made Yejing stand out. Through this vivid scene, it is not difficult to feel the novelty, excitement and wonder of the poet. Then two sentences, "Lang night, Song moving cold Sichuan", turned to describe the image of smelting workers.
Brief introduction of Li Bai:
Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, also known as "Violet Lay Man" and "Immortal", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "Poet Fairy" by later generations, and was also called "Da Du Li" with Du Fu. Li Bai is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. He was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's thought of starting a family. Li Taibai was handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk.
Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen is shaken by the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature in his poems. Li Bai's poems are full of self-expression and subjective lyricism, and the expression of feelings is overwhelming. He and Du Fu are called "Big Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li").
In Li Bai's poems, imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques are often used comprehensively to produce magical brilliance and magnificent artistic conception, which is the reason why Li Bai's romantic poems give people heroic and unrestrained, elegant and immortal.
