Secondly, it has a strong romantic color. Li Sao is a positive and romantic work. It absorbed and developed the positive romantic spirit of ancient China people's oral creation-ancient mythology. Li Sao does not describe the reality truthfully, but shows the author's passion, strong pursuit of ideals and rebellious spirit against reality stimulated by social reality.
Thirdly, the artistic expression of Bi Xing was developed. Using a variety of metaphors to form a series of artistic images, creating a long and intriguing artistic conception, and opening up the realm of China's poetry expressing his will with the beauty of vanilla.
In addition, create new poetic forms and exquisite language. Li Sao broke the four-sentence pattern of The Book of Songs, lengthened the poem, and gave priority to six characters, thus expanding the expressive force of the poem. A large number of dialects are used in Lisao, especially the word "Xi", which enhances the lyrical atmosphere and musical beauty.
In a word, Li Sao's thought and art have an important position in the history of China literature. As Lu Xun said, Li Sao is "an excellent speech".
Qu Yuan is a superstar in the country of poetry, far ahead of all other stars. It appeared in the history of China's poetry, and became the style admired by countless successors. Li Sao, his immortal work, has been shocking for thousands of years and has become the most wonderful and "permanent charm" chapter in the history of China poetry and even the history of world poetry.
Great and excellent art has eternal vitality and is an endless treasure house of beauty. Goethe said: "An excellent work, no matter how you explore it, can't go deep into it." Yes, for many years, people have read Li Sao, known it, analyzed it and explored it. As long as it is serious and really eager, it seems that it never comes back empty-handed. It gives people the enlightenment of truth, the encouragement of goodness and the enjoyment of beauty. It is so perfect and rich, ancient and always new. "Clothes are outstanding all one's life." "Clothes are a poet, not a generation."
"Those who leave Sao are still worried" is Sima Qian's explanation of the meaning of leaving Sao. "Qu Ping's work Li Sao is self-reproach." This is his interpretation of the motive force of poetry creation and the emotional tone of the long poem Li Sao. In order to revitalize the country, Qu Yuan practiced "American politics" and "tried his best to serve his monarch with loyalty and wisdom", but he was slandered for his loyalty. He is full of ambition to "save the monarch and rejuvenate the country", but he can't wake up the fatuous monarch. Seeing that Chu soldiers were hacked and killed, he was in danger. He was left out in the cold and there was no way to save the country. Can a patriot who cares about his country and people have no complaints? There is a cloud in the poem: "It is not difficult for me to leave my husband, which hurts the soul to practice numerology" and says: "I am also sad when I am sad; Hug like wisdom and hide tears, touch the waves of Yujin. Finally, she said: "Since I am not satisfied with the beauty of politics, I will live in Peng Xian's house!"! Li Sao is a sad and angry song written by a poet full of patriotic passion and blood and tears. It is heartbreaking and thrilling to read.
The reason why the poem Li Sao is called difficult to read is not only because of some obstacles in understanding caused by dialects, history, myths and scenery in southern Chu, but also because of the emotional turmoil and repetition of the whole poem, which is difficult to grasp. It is true that Li Sao is a large-scale long poem, with 2477 words and 373 sentences (from Hong's statement, delete the sentence "We say it's one o'clock in the evening, but we have to change the way"). It is not only an autobiographical long political lyric poem, but also contains some mythical colors, narrative events and plot factors. Therefore, only by grasping Li Sao as a whole can we go deep into its thought and art and discover its profound thought and great artistic creation.
The long poem Li Sao describes some of the poet's own life experiences, which means that it has the nature of autobiographical biography, but it also has a lot of surreal descriptions, and its self-image is permeated with strong mythological factors. The conception in the poem has some plots, but it is not an objective and real life experience, but a subjective imagination. All these show that the long poem Li Sao is a romantic lyric work, not an autobiographical narrative poem understood by some people. In other words, when reading the long poem Li Sao, we should especially grasp its "emotion", grasp the ups and downs of the poet's inner world activities, and even run through the full richness and artistic characteristics of the whole poem.
The "feeling" that runs through the long poem Li Sao, that is, the "resentment" feeling that Sima Qian said, is more precisely a kind of loyalty and resentment. The poet lived in the era of drastic changes in the Warring States period. His parents' country, his beloved motherland, was originally a strong and rich country. Among heroes, he once occupied the position of leader and had many conditions to unify the world. However, since the failure of King Chu's political reform, the national government has been ruled by the old aristocracy. By the time of Chu Huaiwang, where Qu Yuan lived, he was in a precarious situation due to the lack of internal affairs and external pressure from Qiang Qin. Qu Yuan is a politician who is "knowledgeable, strong-willed and knows how to control chaos". He is also a patriot with ideals, foresight and integrity. He was concerned about the country and the people, full of loyalty, and tried to innovate politics and revitalize Chu. But his sincere heart is not understood. At first, he was trusted by the king of Chu as a leftist and promoted the New Deal. Unexpectedly, just when he served the motherland faithfully, rumors began to rise because he violated the interests of the old nobles. "Many women are jealous of Yu's beauty. They say Yu is a good prostitute." A small group of people showed their magical powers, but the king of Chu ignored them and ignored them. He disliked the "numerology" and "no slap" of the king of Chu; Resentment of "greed" and "usurpation" of "party member" and the defection and depravity of "party members". What makes him feel sad and resentful most is that he witnessed the country's growing peril, but was deprived of the opportunity to serve the country. "I am afraid of losing the court" and "I am far away from the boudoir, but I am not afraid of the king of philosophy." As a "loyal minister slanderer", what kind of resentment it is to be guilty of patriotism and see the motherland on the verge of danger and "save the country without a door"! So the poet's feelings erupted like a volcano, and this long poem, Li Sao, was cast, which contained deep anger and destroyed people's courage.
Loyalty and resentment is a main line of the long poem Li Sao, but from the perspective of the whole poem structure, it can be divided into two levels, that is, from the opening to "I can punish my luxury", which can be regarded as the first half of the poem. This part mainly shows the contradiction and unfair treatment encountered by this noble and self-sufficient poet who is determined to serve the country, and fully shows the conflict between the lyric hero and the dark reality of Chu. From the criticism of women to the end of the article, it mainly focuses on the poet's spirit of continuing to seek after persecution, the inner conflict caused by it, and even the final choice. As far as artistic techniques are concerned, although the first half also has artistic exaggeration and uses many symbolic techniques, it is basically the poet's real life experience and is actually written; The second half mainly turns fiery feelings into surreal imagination, showing the poet's mental journey, a depressed soul and the spirit of seeking heaven and earth, which is empty writing.
Having mastered the structural level of the long poem Li Sao, let's analyze its internal logic in detail, that is, the emotional trajectory of the lyric hero in the poem and the subtle psychological description of the ups and downs of the whole poem.
The beginning of the long poem Li Sao is very strange. The poet first described his noble birth, strange birthday and "good name" given by his father because of his great expectations of himself in a very solemn and proud tone. According to the analysis of predecessors, "it is solemn to trace back to the source and name it after the year of birth and death." It is true that the feelings in the first eight sentences are very solemn and profound. He emphasized that he was the ancestor of the king of Chu ("the descendant of Emperor Levin"), which meant that he was duty-bound to the rise and fall of Chu, and at the same time laid the groundwork for his own death. His strange birthday and beautiful name just show his dignity and lofty ideals. "The name is right and the word is clever." Behave yourself, go straight to the right path and be strict with yourself; The spirit is average, the endowment is good, and the average public is one. This is the expectation of his relatives and the creed he has adhered to all his life. In short, the first eight sentences set the tone for his life's self-esteem, self-respect and self-love ("I'm not in a hurry to chase Xi", "I'd rather die in exile than have the heart to do this", "My own life is happy, and I'm good at mending"). Then the poet expressed his morality, talent and ideal, and expressed his desire to devote himself to the monarch with great urgency.
