This is a farewell poem, but from beginning to end, it doesn't write about parting and hating, but mainly describes natural scenery and life scenes. Write the part of Songshan scenery, quiet and lofty; Write about the life of Yangshan people after returning to the mountain, which is quiet and comfortable. Throughout the poem, the meaning of farewell and feelings of farewell are expressed through colorful pictures. To borrow the words of predecessors, it is to use scenery language instead of love language.
the whole poem can be divided into three levels. The first four sentences are the first layer, which describes the scenery of Songshan Mountain, expressing the poet's nostalgia for Songshan Mountain and his life in the past. The first couplet writes mountains and peaks, and the sentence is heroic. A word "I" has the spirit of "everything is ready for me". Li Bai did not necessarily live in Yunv Mountain when he visited Songshan Mountain. The peak name of "Jade Girl" was chosen here to correspond to the "House of Eternity" in the previous sentence. The "house of eternal life" implies the meaning of the immortal's residence, which makes the miraculous atmosphere stronger and more desirable. Three or four sentences show a more beautiful and magical realm. The month can't stay, but "stay long" and make it in the most appropriate and beautiful position. The crystal moon hangs above the tall and green pine trees, and below it is the ever-flowing stream. It not only vividly shows the beautiful scenery of Songshan Mountain, but also entrusts the noble feelings of hermits.
The fifth and sixth sentences are the second level, which describes the activities of Yangshan people after they returned to the mountain. The poet imagined that people in Yangshan would pick fairy grass when they returned, while calamus with purple flowers were scattered around Yunv Mountain in Songshan. This kind of calamus is "one inch and nine knots, and it will last forever" ("Fairy Biography"), which can satisfy his desire to seek immortality. This sentence is about people, and the next sentence is about mountains. Man is to the mountains, and fish is to the water. Obviously, it has the meaning of "getting what you want". The word "er" echoes the word "I" in front, rendering a strong atmosphere of separation.
The last two sentences are on the third floor. The poet said to his friends that he would like to go with him to seek immortality, visit Taoism and be proud of the mountains and forests. The conclusion turns this kind of thought and emotion into a concrete image: it seems that in the blue sky, a white dragon is winding forward, and a poet with elegant demeanor is riding on the dragon. His immortal style and "blue sky" and "white dragon" form a beautiful and harmonious artistic conception. This magical picture of visiting each other by riding a dragon is bold and elegant.
the "scenery" written in this poem is not only the external scenery, but also the internal feelings, and it is the unity of "love and scenery, thinking and environment * * *". For example, describing the beautiful scenery of Songshan Mountain expresses the poet's love for it, which includes thoughts and feelings of missing Yangshan people and longing for a secluded life. When the three are stacked together, the feeling of farewell is very strong. It is very rare to say goodbye without being sentimental, to be infatuated with love, and to be extraordinarily broad-minded. Its conception is novel, such as a mirror full of flowers and moons, and it is also true and illusory. It is not bound by the usual concept of time and space, is not influenced by the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people, and does not follow suit. It falls into the trap of predecessors and shows the amazing creativity of the poet.
In writing poems, Li Bai often uses exaggerated artistic skills to idealize and magic the objects depicted, so as to arouse readers' imagination and longing. This is typical in this poem. For example, "house" is a common thing, and there is nothing novel, but adding the word "eternal" in front of it becomes magical, ethereal and intriguing. Another example is a bright moon hanging on a pine tree by a stream. The scenery is charming, but if it is just like this, it is not poetic. The poet is ingenious, and the word "stay forever" is used in front of him to highlight the power of will, so that people and things have undergone "extraordinary and sacred" changes and painted with a layer of magical and magnificent colors, which makes people daydream and make people think. Zhang Bi, a native of the Tang Dynasty, once commented on Li Bai's poems with "the sky is high, blue and boundless" (Chronicle of Tang Poetry). These eight words vividly show the magical, ultra-bold, simple and natural characteristics of Li Bai's poems, which is a very appropriate evaluation.
