Li Bai wrote many poems, which can be roughly divided into Yuefu, Gexing and Jueju. My personal favorite is his quatrains. Quatrains include five quatrains and seven quatrains, and Li Bai is an excellent writer of these two quatrains in Tang Dynasty. His quatrains are short and natural, fresh and lively, with comfortable language and elegant connotation, expressing endless feelings. Let readers enjoy it, all the beauty lies in nature. In my opinion, to write such a beautiful quatrain, the poet's thoughts and thoughts should be relaxed and happy, not tired of fame and fortune. Some quatrains are poetic and picturesque, showing a clear state of mind beyond the world. This is the case with landscape poems and farewell poems in the seven wonders. In landscape poems, such as "Looking at Lushan Waterfall": "Rizhao incense burner gives birth to purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of distant Sichuan. Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days. " The last two sentences reflect the poet's strange imagination and are amazing. For example, the farewell poem "Yellow Crane Tower Farewell Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou": "The old friend stayed in the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail is far from the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River flows in the sky. " "Fireworks in March" presents beautiful scenery, and the last two sentences are magnificent pictures, showing reluctance to friends. There are many well-known works in Five Wonders, such as Silent Night Thinking, The Foot of the Bed is So Bright, Will there be frost already? . Looking up, I found it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly remembered home. "At that time, I realized, and made it very clear that I spoke the most touching point in the strong homesickness, which triggered the common * * * sound for thousands of years. In "Seventeen Songs of Qiu Pu", the fifteenth: "White hair is three thousands of feet, and sorrow is as long as long. I don't know where to get autumn frost in the mirror. "Although exaggerated, it is natural and real, and it is amazing.
Of course, the Yuefu and Gexing created by Li Bai are also very classic from the perspective of literary aesthetics. For example, in Yuefu poems, in Shu Dao Nan: "Since God has given talents, let them be employed!"! , spin one thousand silver, all back! "It fully shows the poet's wild and confident personality. "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those who have high status and high positions? They will never tolerate others showing them a sincere face! " Expressed lofty feelings. The reason why "literary aesthetics" is emphasized is that if we analyze the poet's thoughts and feelings, we can see that the poet has a strong heart for fame and wealth and a strong Confucian thought of "helping the poor" and "securing the country". The life he pursued was too idealistic, and he constantly suffered failures in real life. Therefore, he often expresses his thoughts and feelings of grief, injustice and disappointment in his works. He wants to join the army and serve his country until he dies. I think if Li Bai can get out of the dead end of pursuing fame and wealth, even if he pursues fame and wealth purely for the people to live a better life, will his life be happier? If the pursuit of fame and fortune is only for immortality, it turns out that even if he doesn't pursue fame and fortune, his literary talent will make him immortal. I deeply regret that he has never let go of his fame.
Perhaps there are some works in Li Bai's quatrains that express dissatisfaction because of the pursuit of fame and profit, and perhaps there are pure feelings in Yuefu and Gexing. But on the whole, I prefer his quatrains. What I see from the quatrains is Li Bai who is relaxed, simple and really free and easy. It is these works that make many readers really feel a relaxed and uncontested life realm.
