An Analysis of the Double Themes in Song of Eternal Sorrow

It is inappropriate to regard this poem as a pure satire or a love ode. It is the unity of exposure and praise, and the interweaving of irony and sympathy. This is not only a tear of sympathy for the love tragedy of Li and Yang, but also a sigh of regret for the mistakes of the country and the government. The two are integrated, not mechanically superimposed. ?

Song of Eternal Sorrow is a long narrative poem by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem vividly describes the love tragedy between Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. Poets borrow historical figures and legends;

Created a touching story, reproduced the truth of real life through artistic images, and infected readers for thousands of years. The theme of this poem is "Song of Eternal Sorrow", which has a far-reaching influence on many literary works in later generations.

Creation background

In the first year of Yuanhe (806), Bai Juyi was appointed as county commandant (now Xi zhouzhi county). One day, my friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu and I visited Xianyou Temple near Ant, and talked about Li Longji and Yang Guifei.

Wang Zhifu believes that something as outstanding as this will disappear with the passage of time if it is not polished.

So Bai Juyi wrote this long poem. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever;" One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. "They called this poem" The Song of Eternal Sorrow ". At the same time, Chen Hong wrote a legendary novel "Song of Eternal Sorrow".
