Taibai Drunken Sword, which interprets Li Bai's life and poetry, is a very special work, which is neither like popular novels nor biographical literature. Looking at the whole book, I regard it as a poetic and magnificent "legendary documentary literature" For a character who has only a few hundred words in the old and new Tang books, it is conceivable how difficult it is to write Li Bai vividly. The author is well-informed, and there are a lot of original poems in the book. The scenes are mixed and the artistic conception is far away, which makes the environment atmosphere full and thick, giving people a sense of being there. As far as the images expressed in the article are concerned, the author's focus is not on the story of Li Bai that everyone can write, but on expressing his life with the help of Li Bai's life, that is, his feelings as a scholar. The so-called quality is better than literature, and from the reading effect, the weakening of the plot makes the reader pay more attention to what the author wants to express.
Taibai Drunken Sword is ingenious in conception and broad in style. The author took great pains to classify Li Bai's poems and put them into his works properly. Carefully sort out his travel route, life track and thoughts of being born and entering the WTO, skillfully put on Li Bai's poems and songs, and form a crystal bead chain. This is not for everyone to do! There are two clues in the book: one is bright and the other is dark. The bright line runs through the contradiction between Li Bai and An Lushan, and the dark line is supplemented by the contradiction between Li Bai and a cult organization, witchcraft. At the same time, Li Bai's life and his poems are described perfectly by legendary means, taking the cultivation process of Li Bai's thirty-six Taibai drunken swordsmanship as the finishing touch.
In terms of language, the exquisite rhetoric and the strong flavor of classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese in the whole book are rare in the history of modern literature, which is in sharp contrast with popular novels. From the aesthetic point of view, the sentences in classical Chinese have an indescribable "condensed beauty", which brings the charm of China characters to the extreme. In Taibai Drunken Sword, the clever collocation between words and sentences is like a flowing landscape painting, which makes people amazed. Take the first opening sentence as an example: "The Yangtze River across China, from Tanggula Mountain down, out of Qinghai, across Yunnan; After Zhangzhou, the more Sichuan, the mighty and unstoppable. " The length and grandeur of the Yangtze River can be clearly explained in just one sentence, without the assistance of additional words, which embodies the independence of Chinese characters, which is difficult to achieve in other countries. Take a look at this sentence again: "Li Yuan, the master of the Tang Dynasty, heard the news, lifted the soldiers from Longshang, left Taiyuan, captured Luoyang, went down to Tongguan and entered Chang 'an, which was like a roll of bamboo, served the heroes in all directions, saved the people from fire and water, and set up the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in harmony with the weather." The whole passage was completed in one go, a period of history and the dust settled. It can be seen that the author's writing skills are very profound.
The characteristics of China's writing have created the characteristics of China's poetry, while the brilliant achievements of China's poetry also show the vastness and magic of China's writing. They are interdependent and complement each other, which constitutes the literature and art with China's characteristics. "Taibai Zuijian" skillfully integrates China's poems and Chinese characters into the work, and at the same time, the verbal style and spoken language alternate in a paragraph or sentence, which has a refined and retro taste and fully shows the unique charm of China characters.
the cultural source can last for a long time, and so can the spirit. "Taibai Zuijian" is based on detailed historical data, which is derived from historical materials and not rigidly adhered to historical materials, and pays attention to poems instead of indulging in them. Taking "great culture, great thought and great inheritance" as the main quality, we will study his life and return the poet to the world. The book focuses on Li Bai's life travel, which is entangled with national tragedy, family feud and personal love; Interspersed with interesting humanities and court disputes; Reflecting the famous mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery ... With the grand and romantic Tang Dynasty as the background of the times, the conflict between new forces and old structures as the cultural background, and the legendary story as the clue, Li Bai's lonely, romantic, wandering, legendary, tragic and brilliant life is fully revealed. From this, not only let Chinese people realize the unique charm of Chinese characters, but also further interpret Li Bai and Tang poetry for readers.

{Attached} Views on Li Bai: Among the poets in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the only romantic poet who has been praised as both chivalrous and courageous, as well as immortal and Taoist. Li Bai's legendary life and bold and elegant poetic style really left a deep impression on people, so that when we talk about Li Bai, we can imagine an image of a poet who is floating in the air.
In fact, since He Zhizhang called Li Bai a fallen immortal, Li Bai's image has been stereotyped. However, this stereotyped image of a poetic immortal has also created a distance between people and Li Bai, which is close to the distance between worshippers and idols. An unattainable gap between seeing flowers in the fog and watching the moon in the clouds has restricted us from entering the hall of Li Bai's mind.
now let's go into Li Bai's thoughts. Li Bai's life is complicated. On the one hand, he accepted the Confucian thought of "being kind to the world" and demanded to help the poor and secure the country. On the other hand, he accepted the Taoist thought of being independent from the world, pursuing absolute freedom and despising everything in the world. He was also deeply influenced by the thought of Rangers, who dared to despise feudal order and break traditional idols. Confucianism is incompatible with Taoism and Rangers, but Li Bai combined them.
Li Bai has been wandering around the world all his life, generous and conceited, and unconventional. "I often want to be a blockbuster, and I will fly into the sky. I will gradually move to Joe, and I can't do it." He values martial arts and despises Confucianism. He is careless about money and charity, and he is arrogant. This formed his hero-loving character. Reflected in poetry, he drew strength from the demeanor and style of countless ancient heroes and projected realistic ideals into history, thus establishing a gallery of heroic characters in poetry. He praised Cao Ze, the hero of the world, such as "Liang Fu Yin", and wrote Tai Gong Wang: "Don't you see that you are singing songs and swearing at the thorns and Tianjin, and you are fishing for Weibin in the 8 th West; I'd rather be ashamed of my white hair and shine with water, and I'll be strong and thoughtful when I meet the times. Wide Zhang 38 fishing, wind period dark and Wen Wang pro. The Great Sage Tiger became stupid and unpredictable, and it was quite ordinary in those days. " ; Praise the righteous who regard fame as dirt. This reflects his chivalrous thought of daring to oppose feudal order and not afraid of power.
in Li Bai's body, he has both the characteristics of Confucianism, Taoism, chivalry and Zen, "oh, how can I gravely bow and scrape to men of high rank and men of high office, who never will suffer being shown an honest-hearted face", and Confucianism is proud and strong; "but let me, on my green slope, raise a white deer, and ride to you, great mountain, when I have need of you", the Taoist avoids vulgarity and turbidity; "I fling aside my food-sticks and cup, I cannot eat nor drink, I pull out my dagger, I peer four ways in vain", the wayward madness of the chivalrous; "till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, to bring me my shadow and make us three", Zen meditation is unique. It's hard to imagine how a person can present such a rich landscape, which is not superficial, but a kind of beauty that blends everything and conforms to nature from the depths of his heart. Perhaps each of us is more or less influenced by various schools, and various ideas clash in our minds, some are killed, and more are merging in the conflict. In other words, there is no difference between various schools of thought. They are all parts that make up the whole thought of heat, just as everything makes up the natural harmony of the world. Man-made abrupt separation is not an objective attitude.

Poetry always depends on talent, with talent, land and talent. I got Li Taibai from genius, Du Zimei from land, and Wang Mo from talent. Taibai wins with charm, Zimei wins with rhythm, and Mowa wins with reason and fun. Too white and easy to tune, the size of the child is beautiful. Every sentence is in line with the teachings of Mahatma. (Xu Zeng)

Li Bai's couplets are as follows:
Half a pavilion, Qingfeng Mountain and water
A boat full of bright moon wine and poems
In the room with hops, on the grinding stone,
leaning on the sword, hanging a bow to help the mulberry
Poor barren ridges and poor spring bones
There was an earth-shattering text
Immortal poems are empty for ever
