Bai Juyi's Poetic Types
Among Bai Juyi's other poems, satirical poems written in his early days are highly appraised and praised, especially Qin Zhongyin and New Yuefu. Bai Juyi, who has just entered the official career, reflects the sufferings of people's livelihood and cries for justice. Don't know the time and taboo? Our courage is admirable. Qin Zhongyin has 10 songs, the first one is like a sword. Fu Fu accused the government of indulging in the remaining jealousy and brutally cutting the people. Take my silk, you will be grateful. ? "Light Fat" is about the spirit of dignitaries going to dinner and the richness of wine and food. What is the last one? The drought in Jiangnan, Quzhou people eat people! ? Song and Dance describes the pleasure life of ministers who drink and have fun during the day and sing and dance in the middle of the night. I didn't know there were death row inmates who froze to death in the township prison! ? "Buy Flowers" wrote that the rich people in Chang 'an bid for peony, boasting about luxury, and finally said: a bunch of dark flowers make ten people happy. ? Marriage proposal sympathizes with poor women who can't get married, injured friends lament the miserable life in the land of hardship, and injured houses satirize the giant buildings in Daxing. How many millions does a class cost? . "No Officer" mocked those greedy people who refused to retire in their eighties and nineties. "Maid Li" expressed dissatisfaction with falsely praising some people for not erecting a monument for a good official. Wuxian expressed regret that many people didn't understand traditional culture at that time. As we all know, they are all critics, whippers and grumblers, which is a powerful exposure to the dark politics of Dezong Zhenyuan to Xian Zongyuan and their early days, hurting the ruling class. No wonder? Smell the smell of "Qin Zhongyin", then people who have left power and wealth will look at each other and change their colors. ? Bai Juyi is also conceited about his Qin Zhongyin. After compiling his own collection of poems (volume 15), he said in a poem entitled "". One "Long Hate" is full of amorous feelings, and ten "Qin Yin" are nearly sound. ?
At the age of 45, he wrote a long poem, Preface to Pipa, which was also highly praised by people. After he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, he said goodbye to his friends in Jiangtou, Xunyang. At the farewell banquet on the ship, he suddenly heard the sound of playing the piano on the neighboring ship and invited him to move the ship. He was very sad. It turned out that he was an old singer who lived alone in an empty boat, and he was also infinitely sad, relying on the piano to express his bitterness. After listening to her story, Bai Juyi not only expressed deep sympathy, but also thought of his own misfortune. We were all unhappy until the end of the day, when we met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? ? Feeling, he made this long poem comparable to "Song of Eternal Sorrow". What is the life situation and tragic life experience of the geisha in front, and what is the following? A year ago, I left the capital and came here. Now I am a sick Jiujiang exile? Turn to write about yourself, and finally the cloud? But which of them cried the most? , this Jiujiang officer. My blue sleeves are wet. ? Sima Qing? Therefore, it is also an allusion. This poem has many advantages in artistic techniques, with meticulous description and harmonious syllables, especially the paragraph describing the sound of pipa, which is really amazing. The most important thing is the sincerity of feelings. These two long poems are priceless treasures left by Bai Juyi to future generations.
"New Yuefu" and "Qin Zhongyin" are about the same period, which is another important group of poems in Bai satirical poems, with 50 poems, which are about the relationship between Gaozu's martial arts and Yuanhe. The time span is larger and the content is wider than Qin Zhongyin. The Yuefu poem in Bai Zhi said: I am also a disciple of the monarch, so I am very depressed. You can't cry. Every article has no empty words, and every sentence should be standardized. One's work is extremely dangerous to others, but a poet's words are very painful. If you don't have a high rhythm, don't complain. Pushing songs is disgusting. I hope the emperor knows. ? It can be said that he wrote the declaration of New Yuefu, which is also the best interpretation of New Yuefu. Famous works, such as Selling Charcoal Weng, Du Lingcuo, Hyun Si, and Xinfeng Folding Arm Weng, are novellas of New Yuefu. Every poem has a clear and strong central idea, that is, what is stated in the preface? Kumiya city also? 、? The difficulty of hurting farmers? 、? A greedy woman's job? 、? Did you give up your border job? 、? Worried about the cost of sericulture? 、? Reading cold? 、? Quit asking for immortals? 、? Do Buddhist temples soak much? 、? Corrupt officials Wait, flogging, satire, expressing passion, being merciless, even shouting. These poems have a clear distinction between love and hate. Apart from satire, there are also praises. These poems fully explain what Bai Juyi opposes and praises, and are the true expression of the author's mind. He clearly announced in the preface to the new Yuefu that these poems are? For the monarch, for the minister, for the people, for things, for things, not for writing? . ? What happened? Claiming that what he wrote was a real event, it also showed the fighting spirit of a young and middle-aged poet who helped the poor. In terms of poetic style, he inherited the fine traditions of The Book of Songs, Yuefu classical poems and Du Fu's poems, and adopted the free syntax of folk songs at that time, forming his own creative style.
In a word, Bai Juyi's Qin Zhongyin and New Yuefu are the most combative works of all his poems. Together with Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa, they are the essence of Bai Juyi's poems and the most valuable parts of China's ancient poems.
