Talking about Li Bai's Poems with Specific Works

In terms of artistic achievements, Li Bai's Yuefu, Gexing and quatrains are the highest achievements. His songs completely broke all the inherent forms of poetry creation, with no one to rely on and many strokes, reaching the magical realm of vagaries and swaying. Li Bai's quatrains are natural and lively, elegant and chic, and can express endless feelings in concise and lively language. Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the Five Wonders, while Wang Changling and others wrote the Seven Wonders well. Li Bai is the only person who combines the five wonders with the seven wonders. 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 perfect 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 subjective lyricism, and the expression of feelings is overwhelming. He and Du Fu are called "Big Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li"). In Li Bai's poems, imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques are often used comprehensively to produce a fantastic, magnificent and moving artistic conception, which is why Li Bai's romantic poems give people the feeling of being bold and unrestrained, elegant and immortal.

Eulogize ideals and express grief and indignation. Li Bai regards himself as an extraordinary talent, boasting the achievement of "making great efforts to make the region of the world big and the sea and the county clear", and unswervingly pursuing the ideal of helping the poor and stabilizing the country all his life. He compared himself with Dapeng, Tianma and Xiong Jian: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars in Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. " ("Li Shangyong"). Despise the strong and pursue freedom. He believes that with his own talents, he can "go out safely to make friends with the prince and overlook the bird's nest when he escapes" ("Send the Swallow Garden to Play the Preface of the Hidden Fairy City Mountain Residence"). He showed strong contempt for those dignitaries who enjoyed high positions and high salaries by virtue of their family background, and showed a proud and unyielding character. He despised the feudal hierarchy, was unwilling to flatter, and disdained to rise and fall with customs. The darkness of reality makes him a painting of Li Bai.

The disillusionment of ideals and the bondage of feudal ethical code hierarchy suffocated him. He longed for the freedom and liberation of his personality, so he adopted a wild and unruly attitude towards life to get rid of the bondage and strive for freedom. Its manifestation is binge drinking and singing, seeking immortality and learning Taoism. But wine can't relieve worries, and the immortal is more ethereal, so he praised the beautiful nature as the ideal sustenance and the embodiment of freedom "according to the unchangeable habit of my life" (Lushan Ballad). Mount Emei, Huashan, Lushan, Taishan, Huangshan, etc. It is majestic in his works, full of clouds and streams; The rushing Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River in his works swept away everything. It shows the poet's indomitable character and strong desire to break the fetters. Exposing reality and attacking current politics are Li Bai's angry struggle against society and an important embodiment of his rebellious spirit. He opposed Xuanzong's exultation and belligerence, exposing that he was not a man, which led to the sacrifice of the people's soldiers in vain. Because of Xuanzong's arrogance, the eunuch's power was hot ... Through the analysis of the political platform and the observation in Youyan's field, Li Bai was sensitive to poets, and he and Du Fu were the first poets to reveal the disaster at that time. When the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, his patriotic enthusiasm was sublimated and he got rid of the contradiction of using Tibetan resources. His rebellious character and spirit have profound patriotic connotation, social significance and characteristics of the times. His feelings are ups and downs, full of contradictions, and he has both lofty and vulgar side. His ideal and freedom can only be found in the mountains, in the fairyland and in his hometown where he is drunk and dreaming. Therefore, in his poems, such as Into the Wine, Songs on the River and Songs of Xiangyang, he reveals the negative and decadent thoughts of living like a dream, enjoying life in time, being in harmony with everything and escaping from reality among the upright and extravagant literati in feudal society.
