Translation
What on earth am I here for? Sit back and relax in Dune City.
There are old and ancient trees beside the sand dune city, and the rustling sound during the day and night is connected with the sound of autumn.
The wine of Lu is too thin to make people drunk, and the love of Qi Song is in vain.
My thoughts about you are like the surging Wen River, which flows southward to express my deep feelings. Creation background According to the "Compendium of Li Bai Chronicles" compiled by Pei Fei, this poem was written in the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (745 years) of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Bai was forty-five years old. In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao, Du Fu and Li Bai broke up, and Du Fu went to Chang'an. After Li Bai bid farewell to Du Fu at the East Stone Gate of Lu County, and before traveling south to Jiangdong, he once lived in Sand Dune City. In memory of Du Fu, I wrote this poem as a gift. Appreciation
The friendship between Li Bai and Du Fu is a precious page in the history of Chinese literature. Among Li Bai's poems handed down from generation to generation, there are only two that are recognized to be written directly for Du Fu. One is "Send Off Du Erfu at the East Stone Gate of Lu County", and the other is this poem.
Sand Dune City, located on the bank of Wenshui River in Shandong Province, was the residence of Li Bai in central Shandong. The poet bid farewell to Du Fu. From the life full of friendship and joy, he returned to the sand dunes alone, feeling doubly lonely and doubly aware of the value of friendship. This poem expresses the irresistible "missing you" feeling in this situation. The poet first used a lot of pen and ink to write about his own life, the surrounding environment where he lived, and his own mood. There is no word "thinking" or "jun" in the first six lines of the poem, giving the reader the feeling of going through twists and turns and not knowing where he is going. It is not until the end of the poem that he suddenly understands and says the word "thinking of you". . There is no sentence in the poem that does not express the feeling of "missing you", and each couplet is as strong as the other, so that in the end, I have to express my feelings directly. The smoke and clouds in the first six sentences have become the foil for the last two sentences. This kind of conception can not only prepare the theme of the poem from various angles and use various feelings, but also give those daily life affairs a strong poetic flavor.
The poem begins with: "What happened to me?" This is what the poet asked himself, and there is quite a bit of unspeakable resentment and self-blame in it. This will grab the reader's attention and create suspense. "Gaowu Dune City", Gaowei actually refers to the poet's idle and boring life. On the one hand, this sentence describes the current life, and on the other hand, it also responds to the reason for raising the above question. The reason why the poet does not come to the sand dunes to "lie high" is because he misses his friend Du Fu. The beginning of this volley bursts out in a sudden way the poet's complex and depressed feelings after the friendly and joyful life disappeared.
The first two sentences tend to express subjective emotions, while the third and fourth sentences turn to the description of objective scenery. "There are ancient trees beside the city, and the sound of autumn continues day and night." To the poet, the sand dune city in front of him seems to have nothing to see or hear, except for the old trees on the edge of the city, which rustle in the autumn wind day and night. "The wind blows the bamboos in the deep night, and the sound of the leaves is full of hatred." The bleak autumn wind and the desolate atmosphere made the poet miss his friends and reminisce about the past, which made the poet feel incomprehensible. "Parting brings longing for lovesickness, Yao Se and golden bottles." However, this moment, this place, this feeling, this scene, is extraordinary. Even wine cannot relieve sorrow, and song cannot forget it. Lu and Qi refer to Shandong where the poet was located at that time. "Don't get drunk" means that you don't have the interest to drink and get drunk. "Emptiness returns to emotion", because the poet has no intention of appreciating it, and the singing can only be full of emotion. Such a rewrite greatly increases the lyrical weight, and at the same time forces out the following.
Wenshui River originates from Laiwu, Shandong Province and flows southwest. Du Fu said goodbye to Li Bai in Lu County and wanted to go to Chang'an, which is also located in the southwest of Lu. Therefore, the poet said: "My feelings for you are like the mighty Wenshui River, following you southward day and night." The poet places his affection on the flowing water, echoes the title of the poem, and points out the theme. The flowing water never stops. , the artistic conception of endless lovesickness, which also creates the lasting charm of the language. This kind of endless longing, and the open and free mind that "you can see green water on the horizon and green mountains on the sea. When you are happy and when you are done, we part ways, why get drunk and say goodbye" show the richness and variety of the poet's emotions and style. Li Bai (701-762), courtesy name Taibai and Qinglian Jushi, was a romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and was hailed as the "Immortal of Poetry" by later generations. His ancestral home is Longxi Chengji (to be tested). He was born in Suiye City in the Western Regions. He moved to Mianzhou, Jiannan Road with his father when he was 4 years old. Li Bai has more than a thousand poems and essays in existence, and the "Collection of Li Taibai" has been handed down to the world. He died of illness in 762 at the age of 61. His tomb is in Dangtu, Anhui today, and there are memorial halls in Jiangyou, Sichuan, and Anlu, Hubei.
Li Bai If I wait for you to come here, I can't bear to touch the wine in front of the flowers. There is little poetry and wine in the Qing Dynasty, and there is much cold food, rain and wind. When spring comes, wine cannot be carried on Qianyan Road. Have fun and have fun, fight and drink with your neighbors. No expense was spared to buy a precious sword, and a mink fur coat was exchanged for wine. A lotus flower drains away every drop in one year. Bijing crispy frozen wine. I drink wine and look at the flowers and think of my brothers. Du Linghan eats green grass. The green shade in front carries wine, and the color of the branches is the same as that of the dancing skirt. I hate that there is no wine for a thousand days, and nine ileums are broken.
A new song and a glass of wine, the weather is the same as last year. Just enjoy a glass of wine before your death, why do you need a thousand years of fame after your death? Who knew that one could go crazy after drinking, taking off his hat and shouting at others. I thought about returning the wine several times, and put it on the clouds to wish the concubine Ming. After a glass of wine, I asked him what his name was after his death. When the pavilion is full of wine, hibiscus blooms on all sides.
