Appreciation of Tang-Li Bai's Three Qingping Tunes These three Qingping Tunes about Li Bai are one of the most widely circulated and well-known poems created by Li Bai in Chang 'an period. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, many precious peonies were planted in the palace next to Chenxiang Temple in the east of Xingqing Pool. When the flowers bloom, they are purple, light red and all white, which looks beautiful. One day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty rode his beloved white horse, Yang Taizhen, that is, Yang Guifei, to enjoy the flowers together and brought the most famous musician in the palace at that time, that is, the famous Li Guinian. Li Guinian saw that the emperor and Yang Yuhuan were enjoying flowers with great interest, so he asked his disciples in the pear garden to take out musical instruments and prepare to play music and dance to entertain the emperor and the imperial concubine. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said, "How can you always listen to these old songs when you enjoy flowers and love your concubine?" So academician Li Bai was called into the palace. After a little thinking, Li Bai had an idea. He quickly wrote three poems "Qing Ping Diao" on Jinhua stationery, which was very satisfactory to Tang Xuanzong. Then the disciples of Liyuan played the silk and bamboo and sang. Yang Guifei took the glass Qibao Cup and poured the grapes and wine from the tribute in Xiliang Prefecture. After drinking wine and listening to perfect music, Yang Guifei bowed and thanked Tang Xuanzong. This legendary story from The Biography of Yang Taizhen may contain many exaggerated and fictional elements. But there is no doubt that although there are countless poems describing women around the emperor in history, few of them can be loved by the parties and praised by future generations, and the most famous one is probably Li Bai's "Sanqingpingdiao". Li Bai has an extremely accurate grasp of the specific theme of his being called into the palace this time, that is, he grasped the special psychology of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty at that time and cut in from the specific angle of "appreciating flowers and loving princesses", thus making the whole poem seem to be comfortable in conception and rhetoric. However, it is by no means easy to think so thoroughly in advance when creating. First of all, this is due to Li Bai's innate temperament of "treating him like dirt, playing with him for thousands of times and being friends". Zhao Yi, a Qing Dynasty man, put it well: "It's no different from lying drunk in Chang 'an before the flowers bloom and after the moon falls" (The Original Poem). Li Bai was originally called to Chang 'an and Xijing with a cavity of ambition. "Go out and laugh in the sky, are we Artemisia people?" ("Nanling children don't go to Beijing"). He thought that he could realize his great political ideal of "making the atlas big and the sea and the county clear" when he arrived in the capital this time, but what he never expected was that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty only regarded him as an ornament of peace and prosperity, so Li Bai felt very painful and lost in his heart for this imposed role of royal literati. Du Fu once vividly described Li Bai's dissolute life when he was drunk in Chang 'an in the poem Song of Drinking Eight Immortals: "Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about fighting wine, but Chang 'an went to sleep in a restaurant. The emperor called instead of getting on the boat, claiming that the minister was Brewmaster. " Li Bai has a special identity and natural pride as an "academician". Even in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine, he has always been unhurried and supercilious. Only in this way, he won't be so busy and confused in front of this instant creation that he has no preparation in advance and can only write well. Because the emperor was in high spirits at this time, the imperial concubine was waiting. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid I'd just have to write a general article about the situation and have a job. Therefore, the most important thing about the poem "Qing Ping Diao" is that it is easy to conceive, unique in conception, well prepared and quick in thinking, which is also a valuable place that ordinary people can't catch up with.
