When I was young, I didn't know the bright moon in the sky, so I called it Bai Yupan.
I suspect it is Yao's platform, flying in the sky.
Is the fairy in the moon hanging her feet?
Why do laurel trees become round in January?
The white rabbit is not an old panacea. Can you tell me who eats it?
Toads eat the full moon, the moon, the moon is so dark, I don't know.
After Yi shot down nine suns, the paradise on earth was clear and peaceful.
The moon has been lost, and there is nothing to see except to walk away. Worry, how can I bear the pain, sadness breaks my heart.
This is a Yuefu poem. "Walking on the Moon" is an ancient topic in Yuefu, which belongs to miscellaneous songs. Bao Zhao has "Long Moon Tour", writing a beautiful woman's string song about the moon. Li Bai adopted this topic, so it was called Gulangyu, but it did not follow the old content.
Poets use romantic creative techniques to form a magnificent, magical and meaningful artistic image through rich imagination, clever handling of myths and legends and strong lyricism. The poem begins with the understanding of the childlike innocence of the moon in childhood: "I didn't know the moon when I was a child, so I called it a white jade plate." I also suspect that Yao Taijing is flying on the other side of Qingyun Mountain. " Compared with "White Jade Plate" and "Yaotai Mirror", it vividly shows the shape of the moon and the bright and lovely moonlight, which makes people feel very novel and interesting. The verbs "shout" and "doubt" convey the innocence of children. These four poems, seemingly handwritten, are full of emotion. Then, he wrote about the rise of the moon: "The immortal hangs his feet, and the osmanthus tree is round?" The white rabbit smashed the medicine and asked who to take it with. "According to ancient myths, there are immortals, osmanthus trees and white rabbits in the moon. When the moon was born, it first saw the feet of immortals, and then gradually saw the complete shapes of immortals and laurels, and the white rabbit between the full moon and the moon. The poet used this myth and legend to write a fairyland-like scene when the moon was born. However, the good times didn't last long, and the moon gradually eroded out of the circle: "The toad eroded the round shadow, and Daming night was gone. "Toad, commonly known as toad; Daming, the moon. Legend has it that the eclipse was caused by a toad eating the moon, and the moon was darkened by the toad. The poet's feelings and hopes are manifested in "the past dust has fallen into nine evils, and the harmony between man and nature is clear." In ancient times, Houyi, who was good at shooting, shot nine suns, leaving only one, saving the sky and people from fire and water. Why did the poet paint such a hero here? Perhaps it is because of the lack of such heroes in reality! Maybe I hope to have such a hero to sweep the world! However, reality is reality after all, and the poet is deeply disappointed: "Yin essence is confused, but it is not enough. "Since the moon is lost and lost, there is nothing to see! Let's go before it's too late. This is obviously a helpless way. The worries in my heart have not eased, but deepened: "What about worries? "It's heartbreaking." The poet is reluctant to go away, and his heart is full of contradictions and worries.
This poem was probably written by Li Bai to cope with the darkness of state affairs at that time. In his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty indulged in debauchery, favoring Yang Guifei, and became a traitor, eunuch, and border general, making the country a mess. In the poem, "The toad eclipses the round shadow, and the bright night is over" seems to hit this dark situation. Shen Deqian said, this is "insinuating that the imperial concubine will confuse the Lord". (Tang Poetry). However, the poet's theme is unclear, but he uses argot throughout, turning reality into a mirage and alluding to reality with a toad eclipsing the moon, which is very profound and tortuous. One novel and wonderful imagination after another in the poem shows the ups and downs of the poet's feelings, and the words are like flowing water, full of charm and intriguing, which embodies the bold, fresh and elegant style of Li Bai's poems.
