First, external boldness and elegance:
The image of the lyric hero in It's Hard to Walk is the poet himself. The lyric hero of this poem is not satisfied with luxurious material comforts, is indomitable in the difficult realistic situation, and is unwilling to be wild and independent, in order to strive for his own intelligence and help the world as his own responsibility. What is particularly commendable is that he has unshakable optimistic belief in the pursuit of ideals, which is the artistic crystallization of heroic, vigorous and positive spirit in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Without Li Bai's poems and songs, it is difficult to find such a romantic and lyrical hero image.
This poem is imaginative and unpredictable. Poetry begins with drinking, but it is inspired by things. It is both metaphorical and imaginative to use "Sichuan ice jam" and "snow all over the mountain" to symbolize the difficulties and obstacles on the road of life. A man with great political aspirations was called to Beijing and was lucky enough to get close to the emperor, but the emperor could not appoint him. He was "sent money back to the mountain" and was expelled from Chang' an in disguise. Isn't it like hugging the Taihang Yellow River in the face of ice jam and heavy snow? However, Li Bai is not that kind of cowardly character. From the beginning of "drawing a sword and looking in all directions", it shows that he is unwilling to be depressed and will continue to pursue. The poet "I will sit on a fishing rod and be lazy by a stream, but I suddenly dream of taking a boat and sailing towards the sun", and suddenly I think of two people who did not go well politically at first, but made great achievements in the end. One is Lu Shang, who was fishing by the stream when he was 90 years old and met King Wen. One is Yi Yin. Before he was hired by Tang, he dreamed that he traveled around the sun and the moon by boat. Thinking about the experiences of these two historical figures, the poet's confidence has increased.
The rise of poetry borrowing wine opened the poet's depressed heart and triggered a series of whimsy: suddenly rushing to the frozen Yellow River ferry and suddenly coming to the Taihang Mountain Road sealed by heavy snow. Lu Shang, who just caught a glimpse of Bixi, suddenly became Yi Yin who dreamed of the sun by boat, and then the poet's thoughts flew to the future and far away-a magnificent picture of sailing in the vast sea, suddenly presented to readers in a unique way. Scenes such as golden urn, sword, glacier, snow-capped mountain, Bixi, red sun, Yun Fan and sea change instantly, which is dizzying. The characters range from drinkers of wine and swords to recruiters who trudge through the dust, to hermits who fish in Linxi, and saints who are about to be appointed. Finally, they fantasize about a brave athlete who rides the sea and braving the wind and waves. This is actually the embodiment of the poet's fantasy and his own projection. One shot after another, one image becomes another, from reality to dream, from ancient times to the future, from close at hand to the ends of the earth, the wings of the poet's fantasy cross the boundaries of time and space and gallop back and forth in the vast and ever-changing universe. And this magnificent image and broad realm can be expressed through fierce techniques and passionate language, forming the unique heroic and elegant artistic style of Li Bai's poems. Zhao Yi's "Ou Bei Shi Hua": "The unattainable part of poetry lies in the knowledge of God, floating in the air and suddenly leaving. I don't care about carving chapters and sentences, and I'm too lazy to carve my heart. I have a tendency to be free. "
Second, the internal inseparable standard.
On the one hand, Li Bai's poems are heroic because of his high self-confidence, so even if he is sad and angry, he is unrestrained, and even if he fails, he is a hero. On the other hand, Li Bai's bold poems often contain grief and indignation, and his heroism is often full of tragic spirit.
This poem has twelve lines and is divided into six layers. The whole poem is 82 words, which can only be regarded as short among the seven words and deeds, but it has a long momentum pattern. One of the important reasons is that it reveals the ups and downs of the poet's feelings with a hundred steps away. The idea of poetry revolves around the fierce contradictions and conflicts between subjective and objective, ideal and reality. Bold and elegant, showing a tragic color.
The first layer of fine wine and delicacies: "Golden Zun Sake" and "Pan Yuzhen" make people feel like a happy banquet. The two details of "stopping for a drink" and "drawing a sword and looking around" on the second floor show the strong impact of emotional waves and the inner anguish, loss, depression and indignation. Design of Taihang Mountain on the third floor of Yellow River. The fourth layer is the comparison between Shandong merchants and Yi Yin. I just lamented that "the ice jam in Sichuan" and "the snow all over the mountains" suddenly lingered for thousands of years, as if I saw Lu Shangyin suddenly being reused by the monarch from a humble position. The poet's psychological disappointment alternates rapidly with hope, depression, indignation and pursuit of exploration. On the fifth floor, I sighed with difficulty, as if I were shouting loudly to vent my anguish. "What should I do now?" "Where is Blue Sky Avenue?" These four short-paced jumps are completely an inner monologue in an anxious state, forcing Xiao to convey the complex psychology of being in a dilemma, continuing to explore and pursue. The sixth horizon is the view of Yun Fan Sea. After experiencing the previous twists and turns, the realm suddenly opened up and sang a high-pitched and optimistic tone. I believe that my ideal ambition will be realized one day.
The first, third and fifth levels all focus on objective reality. The second, fourth and sixth grades, or speaking frankly or using allusions, all show subjective thoughts. The two clues alternate with contrast and conflict to form the whole poem. Writing reality expresses ideal, reality restricts ideal, ideal breaks free from the bondage of reality, thoughts move forward step by step, and contradictions intensify step by step. Finally, the poet's lofty ideals and firm beliefs finally broke through the difficulties and obstacles in the real society and occupied a dominant position. Liu Xizai's "Art Outline": "Taibai's poems are omnipotent, but they are constantly striving for self-improvement, so they are called legal words." As the concept of unity of opposites, "free speech" and "legal speech" refer to the external boldness of poetry, the latter refers to the internal rigor of the work without deviating from the norm, and "norm" refers to the central idea.
The imagination beyond time and space in It's Hard to Go to Heaven has never left the standard of contradiction between ideal and reality. And that elegant and bold style is also based on careful consideration. In other words, the image thinking and logical thinking of poetry have reached a perfect unity in a wonderful realm. The whole poem is full of a deep and broad sense of hardship and self-belief, which is why poetry is sad but not hurt, but sad and strong.
