Appreciate:
This poem describes clear water and green mountains, white sails and red sun, which are reflected in a colorful picture. But this picture is not static, but flowing. With the poet sailing, the mountains break the river, the east water flows backwards, and the green hills meet each other.
When the solitary sail comes, the scenery unfolds from far and near and from far and far. Six verbs are used in the poem, namely "breaking, opening, flowing, returning and coming", and the landscape presents an urgent dynamic, depicting the grandeur and vastness of Tianmen Mountain.
One or two sentences describe the majestic, steep and unstoppable momentum of Tianmen Mountain, which gives people a thrilling feeling. Three or four sentences have written enough about the vast water potential and come alive. "Tianmen breaks the Chu River, and Higashi Shimizu flows."
These two lines of poets overlook the magnificent scene of Tianmen Mountain facing Jiajiang River, which passes through Tianmen Mountain and the water is rushing. The first sentence is closely related to the topic and has been written on Tianmen Mountain.
Looking around, Liangshan and Bowangshan, located in Chu, seem to be split by the surging river, forming a natural portal from which the surging river surges.
The author introduces:
In the first year of Chang 'an (70 1), Li Bai's words were too white. Its birthplace is generally believed to be Qinglian Township in Changlong, Mianzhou (Brazil County) in the south of the Tang Dynasty. My ancestral home is Tianshui, Gansu. His family background and family background are unknown.
According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the King of Liang. According to this statement, Li Bai is the same clan as the kings of Li Tang, and is the same generation brother as Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. It is also said that his ancestors were Li or Li Yuanji.
In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), the court announced an amnesty for the drought in Guanzhong, stipulating that all the deceased were pardoned from Xixi and below. After a long wandering, Li Bai was finally free.
He immediately descended from the Yangtze River, and the famous song "Send Baidicheng Early" best reflected his mood at that time. In Jiangxia, Li Bai stayed for a while because his old friend Liang Zai was a local satrap.
In the second year of Gan Yuan, at the invitation of a friend, Li Bai once again went boating with the demoted Jia Zhi to enjoy the moon in Dongting Lake, thinking about ancient love and expressing his feelings with poetry. Soon, he returned to the old places of Xuancheng and Jinling.
For almost two years, he shuttled between the two places and still lived on people. In the second year of Shangyuan (76 1), Li Bai, who was in his early sixties, returned to Jinling due to illness. In Jinling, his life was rather embarrassing, so he had to go to his uncle Li, who was the county magistrate of dangtu county.
In the third year of Shang Yuan (762), Li Bai was seriously ill. He gave the manuscript to Li before he died, and he died. Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He has a heroic personality, loves the mountains and rivers of the motherland and has traveled all over the country.
He wrote many magnificent poems praising famous mountains and rivers. His poems are bold, fresh and elegant, with rich imagination, wonderful artistic conception and light language. People call him "Poet Fairy".
Li Bai's poems and songs not only have typical romantic spirit, but also have typical romantic artistic characteristics from the aspects of image shaping, material intake, genre selection and the application of various artistic techniques.

He likes to express himself in a magnificent image, expressing his feelings in his poems without disguise or restraint. Li Bai's poems are magnificent and elegant, and his artistic achievements are extremely high.
He eulogized the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, with bold and unrestrained style, elegant and fresh, full of romantic spirit, and achieved the unity of content and art, so he was called the "fallen fairy". His poems mainly described the mountains and rivers and expressed his inner feelings.
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 strong subjective lyricism.
The expression of feelings has an overwhelming momentum. He and Du Fu are called "Big Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li").
