Seventeen Qiupu Songs (Episode 14)
The fire was shining in the sky, and the red star in the purple smoke was in chaos.
On the night of the moon, copper smelters sang, and their songs resounded through the cold valley.
Seventeen Poems of Autumn Pu (the 14th) is the work of Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem is the only one in Li Bai's poems that praises the active writing of smelting workers, and it is even more precious because it is rare in the vast number of classical poems.
Make an appreciative comment
This is a magnificent autumn night smelting map. Under the poet's ingenious pen, light, heat, sound and color are intertwined, and bright and dark, cold and hot, dynamic and static are in harmony, vividly showing the fiery labor scene and vividly shaping the image of ancient smelting workers. It is indeed an artistic treasure that radiates extraordinary splendour in the treasure house of ancient poetry.
This poem is a paean to ancient industrial labor written by the poet Li Bai after contacting the lower classes and understanding and sympathizing with the working people. It is rare to praise the miners' labor so enthusiastically in the vast poems of our country. Only in this way can it show its commendable place.
Brief introduction of the author
Li Bai (70 1 ~ 762) is Taibai, a famous violet layman. He claimed that his ancestral home was Ji Cheng in Longxi (now southwest of Jingning, Gansu), and his ancestral home was Suiyeju in the Western Regions at the end of Sui Dynasty (it was the capital of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, near tokmak in northern Kyrgyzstan). When I was young, I moved to Qinglian Township, Changlong, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan) with my father. Teenagers show their talents, write poems, read widely and are good at chivalry. From the age of 25, I have been wandering for a long time and experienced a lot of social life. In 742 AD (the first year of Tianbao), he was called to visit the Hanlin in Chang 'an. The style of the article was famous for a while, which was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, but it was not taken seriously politically and was destroyed by powerful people. Only one year later, he left Chang 'an. In 744 AD (Tianbao three years), he made friends with Du Fu in Luoyang. After the An Shi Rebellion broke out, he joined the Wang Yong shogunate Lilin in 756 AD, hoping to quell the rebellion. Due to the failure of Wang Yong Zheng Duo, Yelang was exiled (now Guizhou), but he was pardoned and returned to the East on his way. In his later years, he drifted to the southeast and died in Dangtu (now Anhui). His poems are mainly lyrical, showing the arrogant spirit of contempt for powerful people, expressing sympathy for people's sufferings, being good at depicting natural scenery and expressing his love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The poetic style is bold and unconstrained, the imagination is rich, the language flows naturally and the melody is harmonious and changeable. He is good at absorbing nutrients and materials from folk literature, myths and legends, which constitutes his unique magnificent and gorgeous colors. Li Bai is the most unique and greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan, and reached the peak of poetic art in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He has the reputation of "poetic immortal" and is also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. There are more than 1000 poems, including 30 volumes of Li Taibai's Collection.
