Appreciate:
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 first four sentences in the poem "When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate." I also suspect that Yao Taijing is flying at the end of Qingyun Mountain. "First of all, I wrote about the childishness of the moon in my childhood, and compared it with White Jade Plate and Yaotai Mirror, which vividly showed the shape of the moon and the bright and lovely moonlight, making 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 rises, I first see the feet of immortals, and then gradually see the complete shapes of immortals and laurels, the full moon in the middle of the moon and the white rabbit. 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 from the circle: "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. The poet painted such a hero here, not only because there is no such hero in reality, but also because he hopes to have such a hero to sweep the world.
However, reality is reality after all, and the poet is deeply disappointed: "Although the yin essence is confusing, it is not enough." Now that the moon is lost and confused, there is nothing to see, so let's go before it's too late. This is a helpless way. The worries in my heart have not been alleviated, but have 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 eats a round shadow, and the bright night is over" seems to satirize this dark situation. Shen Deqian said, this is "insinuating that the imperial concubine will confuse the Lord". However, the poet's theme is unclear, but he takes the whole article as a code word, turns reality into a mirage, and alludes 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.
Creative background:
This poem should have been written before the An Shi Rebellion at the end of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Chen Xiaoyun: "You must go against Lushan Mountain." ("Poetry is better than a sword") Xiao Shiyun said: "According to this poem, the moon is used to attract interest. God, Xiang Jun; Month, I like it. Gai is the rebellion of Anshi, which is the sign of the imperial concubine. "
About the author:
Li Bai (70 1 -762), a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, was called "Poet Fairy" by later generations and "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai were also called together. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the king of Liang, and he is a descendant of all kings. He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages. Li Taibai's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Fu Zhi, and First Making Baidicheng.
