Its characteristics are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:
(A) a strong subjective color and romantic mood
Li Bai is a sober realist. His poems are based on real life and have a strong voice of the times. Most of Li Bai's poems are lyric poems. In these poems, the poet does not express life calmly and carefully, but focuses on expressing his warm inner feelings. He showed his unique originality with strong subjective color and romantic sentiment. For example, when he criticized the political darkness, he angrily rebuked "barbarians are full of nakano and rich people are full of halls" (ancient style 51); When criticizing the Anshi Rebellion, he cried with deep sorrow: "Bones turn into hills, where is the sin of ordinary people?" ("Give Jiang a good slaughter") to express his strong anger. He is always very confident when expressing his ideals, such as "Since God has given talents, let them find jobs!" (Into the Wine) and "One day I will climb the Changfeng and break the heavy waves" (The First Part of Difficult Travel). When he expressed his feelings of pursuing freedom, he was even more wild: "When will the storm break out?" (Happy New Year to Pingsha) "Once Dapeng rises with the wind, he will go straight to Wan Li" ("Li Yong") all show a spirit of being bold, unconstrained and unyielding. Especially when there is an insoluble contradiction between his progressive ideal and the dark reality, the subjective color of his poems is even stronger, such as "Farewell to Uncle Yun in Xuanzhou Xie Tiao Building": "Those who abandon me can't stay yesterday, and those who mess with my heart are more worried about today!" This sudden start expresses the inner depression, which shows the intensity of its mental depression. Then I turned to describe what I saw and felt when I went upstairs. I was so drunk that I flew, and it seemed that all my troubles were swept away. However, the darkness of reality still exists and feelings are not calm. Therefore, later poems fell into greater depression, hoping to seek liberation in passive seclusion. "But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with a sword, it is even more worrying to raise a glass to dispel our worries. Since the world can't satisfy our desire, I will loosen my hair tomorrow and take a fishing boat. " This is how poets express their inner anguish, depression, pursuit and hope. The expression of the above passion and emotion makes Li Bai's poems and songs have a strong subjective color of self-expression, showing distinct and unyielding personality characteristics, which embodies the characteristics of Li Bai's poems, such as "surging waves and unrestrained" (Yuan Zhen language) and winning people's hearts.
(B) the use of rich and unique imagination to express emotions
The romantic feature of Li Bai's poems is also reflected in his ability to use rich and peculiar imagination to describe images and express feelings. Sometimes, he uses fantasy to capture surreal images, create a beautiful ideal world, and express his thoughts and feelings of despising darkness and pursuing light. For example, "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream", with the help of dreams, depicts surreal images such as cock crowing, sea and sun soaring, bear roaring and dragon singing, neon-lit Madden, etc., which renders the glory and beauty of heaven, sets off the filth and darkness of reality and shows lofty ideals. Some poems, with the help of myths and legends, are bold and exaggerated, consistently depicting majestic and magical images of mountains and rivers, and pinning their open minds and heroism. Difficulties in Shu Dao is such a famous poem. At the beginning of this poem, historical legends and ancient times are fused in one furnace, and the heroic tone of "it is difficult to reach the sky" is highlighted with exaggerated methods, and then the difficulties and obstacles of the Shu Road are highlighted: "High, like on a tall banner, six dragons drive the sun, and the river far below lashes its tortuous course. At this height, even the yellow crane is hard to walk. Pity those poor monkeys who only have claws. That green mud mountain is made up of many circles. Every 100 steps, we have to make nine turns in the mound, panting. We brush past Orion and pass by Jingxing. Then, we put our arms around our chests and fell to the ground with a groan. We wanted to know if this road to the west would never end, and the terrible road ahead became darker and darker. Nothing can be heard except the cries of birds surrounded by ancient forests. The male bird rotates smoothly and follows the female bird. Jathyapple, what comes to us is the melancholy voice of Du Fu, a sad empty mountain. This kind of travel is more difficult than climbing the blue sky, and even hearing it makes your cheeks pale. " The myth of "Six Dragons Return to the Sun" in the poem. The exaggeration of the yellow crane's difficulty in flying, the imagination of "visiting wells" and the overlapping use of various techniques are integrated into one, rendering the mountains and dangers layer by layer, reflecting the dangers of Shu Road layer by layer. Then, with the desolate atmosphere of mourning and birds singing at night, the landscape map of Shu Road is set off, and the poet's admiration for the magnificent mountains and rivers and some hidden concerns about real politics are entrusted. Yi Yin praised the poem as "strange" and said that it was "rare to return it from the poet" (He Yue Ling's Photo Album). Pi Rixiu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, said that Li Bai's poems "express heaven and earth, think about ghosts and gods, read them with ecstasy, and measure four hearts;" It is this kind of poem full of ups and downs, not the language of the world "("Liu Zao Qiang Bei ").
(C) Clever use of rhetoric to express passion and emotion
Bold exaggeration, novel metaphor and personification are also common artistic techniques used by Li Bai to express his romantic feelings. Sometimes he uses both exaggeration and metaphor. "White hair is three thousands of feet, and sorrow is like a beard" (The Song of Autumn Puge, Part XV) and "Snowflakes from Yanshan Mountain Come to Watch" (popular in the north) are all famous sayings with exaggerated metaphors. Sometimes he combines rich imagination and peculiar exaggeration to write his own strong emotional surge: "The strong wind blows my heart and hangs Xianyang trees in the west" ("Meet Wei Ba Jinghua in this hometown"), which shows his feelings of missing Chang 'an very magically and vividly. "The south wind blows home and flies to the front of the restaurant" ("Send two childish children to the east foot"), and the feeling of missing their children's flesh and blood is also vividly displayed. "I'm worried about the bright moon in my heart and go with the wind until Yelangxi" ("I heard that Wang Changling moved to Longbiaoyao to send this"), worrying about my heart, boldly exaggerating; Sending the bright moon is a strange imagination, and the yearning for friends is best expressed in poetry. He is also good at personification, making nature have personality and using it to express his feelings. "The spring breeze knows its bitterness, and it doesn't make a willow blue." (Le Le Ting) Turning the ignorant and heartless spring breeze into knowledge and affection, he is better at personifying the moon. "At dusk, the blue mountains send me home by moonlight" has Shanyue's "Companion"; "When is the moon in the sky? I'm going to stop and ask a question today (Drink Poison to Quench Thirst), and regard Yue Ming as a bosom friend who can answer questions. "Four Moons Alone") First, "Flower room, a pot of wine, I drink it alone. No one is with me. Please the bright moon, bring me my shadow, and let the three of us be together. " Similarly, I use rich imagination and personification to turn the moon shadow into a bosom friend to pin my feelings.
(4) The language is straightforward, straightforward, and directly expresses the mind.
The language of Li Bai's poems and songs is straightforward. The so-called "clear water produces hibiscus, which is naturally carved." Those lyric poems, such as "The road is as wide as the sky, and there is no way out in front of me" (Part II of Difficult Travel) and "I was born useful, and I will come back when I have exhausted my weight" ("I will enter the wine"), are straightforward, natural and heroic, and help to show my romantic passion. Li Bai's language is fresh and bold, and it is also reflected in not sticking to the rules, not carving sentences, and everything is unified with nature, just like "clear water produces hibiscus, and nature carves it" ("After Falling, I miss Yelang and give Jiang as the prefect, which is good for slaughter"). Such as "There is no song at midnight" and "Long night and long month, hammering on the ground". The autumn wind blew Yi Dao's voice, and every household remembered the people guarding the border. Oh, when will the Tatar army be conquered and when will my husband come back from the long battle! ? "Another example is" Send Bai Di City early ","Thousands of miles away in Jiangling, and return it in one day. The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man. " They all expressed their deep affection in extremely simple, natural and bold and powerful language.
