Bai Juyi was one of the most prolific poets in the Tang Dynasty, and also an outstanding poet who used poetry as a weapon most consciously after Du Fu, profoundly reflecting the sufferings of people's livelihood and mercilessly exposing the evils of feudal rulers. Bai Juyi has nearly 3,000 poems, among which Qin Zhongyin and New Yuefu are his most important satirical poems, which reflect the sufferings and hardships of the people. Bai Juyi, together with Yuan Zhen, put forward the realistic slogan of "writing articles in time, writing songs and poems for things" in Nine Books on Ancient Chinese Literature, and actively advocated new Yuefu poems with Yuan Zhen. His fifty poems "New Yuefu" have distinct themes, sharp wording and exquisite overall structure, which embodies the unity of discussion and narration and involves all aspects of social life. There are many wonderful poems worth reading, such as Selling Charcoal Weng, Being Fat, Watching Wheat Cutting and Buying Flowers. For example, Qin Jiliao ridiculed the incompetence of the officials of Yushitai: "Qin Jiliao, people can talk like birds, don't they see the grievances of chickens and geese?" When I heard about the owner of Phoenix, I didn't say a word for Phoenix. I used very noisy words! "typhoid house": "there is rotten meat in the kitchen and money in the treasury. Who can speak my language and ask between your flesh and blood? Those people who are infinitely cheap can't stand hunger and cold. How to serve as one and protect the Millennium. I didn't see the horse's house, so today I am Fengcheng Garden. "Xinfeng Brokeback Weng": "If the arm is broken for 60 years, one limb will be wasted. It's raining and freezing so far, and I have no sleep until dawn. Sleepless pain, never regret, happiness to old age. Otherwise, at that time, Lu Shuitou was already dead, and he should be a homesick ghost in Yunnan, crying on a mass grave. "He almost noticed every noteworthy problem in the society at that time.
"Yuanhe Style" is also a great contribution of Bai Juyi to poetry. The so-called "Yuanhe Style" refers to some poems and sentimental poems including Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa Xing. Song of Eternal Sorrow tells the love tragedy of Tang and Yang Guifei in a romantic way, eulogizes the eternal love between them, and has achieved great social effects. Many poems and dramas in later generations are based on this. On the other hand, "Papaxing" tells the story of a prostitute in Chang 'an, expressing the poet's sense of loss and relegation, and sending out the feeling that "neither of us is happy-we meet each other forever." We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? ",arouse people's imagination. These two long poems are wonderful in conception and magnificent in language, just like a moving picture scroll, which is shocking.
In addition, Bai Juyi also has some poems about answering questions, sentimental poems and leisure, among which there are many famous sentences. I give my friend Liu a suggestion: "There is a feeling of sunset snow outside, how about a glass of wine inside?" ? "Spring Tour of Qiantang Lake:" Flowers are more and more colorful, and shallow grass can't crow. " "Flowers are not flowers": "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog. Come at dawn and leave at midnight. Come like a spring dream, go like a cloud, and find no place to go. " By analogy, everyone can see the big with small, and win more with less.
Bai Juyi's poems are not only numerous, but also excellent. He is really a giant in the history of China's poetry, and later poets learn from him to varying degrees.
