As a romantic poet, Li Bai is great and the most typical. He said that his poem is "Xing Han writes about shaking the five mountains, and the poem becomes a small Aoling Cangzhou" ("Song on the River"). Du Fu praised his poem and said: "When you put pen to paper, you will be shocked, and the poem will become a cry." (Send Li's "Twelve Whites and Twenty Rhymes") This unparalleled magical artistic charm is indeed the most distinctive feature of his poems.
Poets do not suppress convergence in the expression of feelings, but gush out and pour thousands of miles. When ordinary language is not enough to express his passion, he exaggerates boldly; When things in real life are not enough to describe, compare and symbolize his thoughts and wishes, he relies on unrealistic myths and all kinds of wonderful and amazing fantasies.
In the poem "Difficult Shu Road", the poet vividly describes the difficulty of Shu Road with unpredictable brushwork, and artistically shows the tortuous, majestic, lofty and rough face of ancient Shu Road. It depicts a colorful landscape painting, and the moving scenes in the poem are vivid.
Li Bai's description is so touching because of his romantic passion. The poet sends his feelings to the mountains and rivers. He is not indifferent to the natural scenery, but enthusiastically praises it to express his ideal feelings. Surging water and dangerous peaks and valleys endow the poet with emotional temperament, thus showing a flying soul and a magnificent posture. Poets are good at combining imagination, exaggeration and myths and legends to write scenery and express feelings. The mountain height is called "high, such as on the Gao Qi, where six dragons drive the sun"; The obstacles in the shape of the road mean that "the landslide will destroy the sorrow of the strong, and then the ladder will overlap with the jade" ... The poet "gallops away from the wind and clouds, whips the sea yue" (Lu Shiyong's evaluation of Li Bai's seven ancient sayings in "A General Theory of Poetry and Mirrors"), from the creation of silkworm clusters to the opening of mountains in Wuding, from the return of six dragons to Zigui in the middle of the night, it is unconstrained and unconstrained, creating an imagination.
Into the Wine is also a representative work of the poet. This poem is not long, but it is full of intonation and extraordinary weather. It is full of pen and ink, sad and angry, wild and uninhibited, and its language is extremely bold and calm. Poetry has the momentum and strength to shake the ancient and modern times, and of course it is related to exaggeration. For example, huge numbers are repeatedly used in poems (such as "1,000 yuan", "300 cups", "1,000 cups of wine", "a thousand treasures" and "eternal sorrow"). ) to express heroic poetry, but at the same time it doesn't give people the feeling of emptiness and exaggeration. The fundamental reason lies in its rich and profound inner feelings, and the potential wine words are like raging anger. In addition, the whole article is full of ups and downs, and poems are intertwined, from sadness to joy, to madness, to anger, to madness, and finally to the song of everlasting regret, echoing the beginning of the article, such as the river running, magnificent, full of twists and turns, can carry the tripod. His songs are full of pregnant writing, ingenious, wonderful, neither engraved nor inconsistent. The whole article is mainly composed of seven words, but it is interrupted by three words, five words and ten words, which is extremely unbalanced and complicated; Poetry is mainly prose, but also interspersed with antithetical short sentences (such as "Cenfuzi, Dan Qiusheng" and "Five flowers and horses, golden autumn"). "Tang Poetry": "Those who read Li Zhi's poems are far away from the gods in the middle and large schools, and they are immortal." This article is enough.
When reading positive romanticism, western literary theorists often like to summarize its characteristics with three "big": great breath, great strength and great talent. This feature is fully reflected in Li Bai. In Li Bai's poems, great and magnificent images about Dapeng, Tianma, Yangtze River, Yellow River and famous mountains and rivers have appeared repeatedly. If all Li Bai's poems are compared to a symphony, then these grand images are the dominant melody and the most prominent and recurring theme movements in this symphony. In these grand images, there is always a living soul jumping, which is the poet's own personality. Why does Li Bai always love to write magnificent and extraordinary natural images, but in these images he reveals such a big tone and glows with such great talent? We can find the key to understanding the poet from his poems-"I want to build a large piece, be noble and be my subject!" " This is the poet's self-image of "Heaven and Earth coexist with me" and "Everything is one with me". This kind of self-image that can go with me is the source of Li Bai's spiritual strength and the ideological basis of his romantic creation method.
Looking at many of Li Bai's poems, most of them are full of a positive romantic passion, which is vividly expressed through Li Bai's unique imagination and exaggeration. Studying Li Bai's poems, we should fully realize this.
