White images in Li Bai's poems
Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night: "The foot of the bed is bright, is there frost?" Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " The moon in the poem is no longer a purely objective image, but an image full of poet's feelings. Du Fu's "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night": "He knows that the dew will frost tonight, and the moonlight at home will be bright! "Dew is always white, but tonight is whiter, because it feels like tonight; The moon is unknown everywhere, but my hometown is brighter because I miss my brother and my hometown. The poet takes fantasy as reality to highlight his nostalgia for his hometown. Du Fu's Moonlit Night: "She looked at the moonlight in Fuzhou, far away, and looked at it from the window of her room alone, because our boys and girls, poor little babies, are too young to know where the capital is." This poem was written by the poet in a prison camp in Chang 'an, expressing the poet's thoughts about his wife and family. The poet didn't say that he missed his wife by looking at the moon, but imagined that tonight was the full moon in Zhangzhou, and his wife was looking at the moon alone. Although she has a child with her, the child is too young to understand her mother's mind and cannot share her worries. In this way, the poet's fascination with thousands of miles away is written, full of sadness and emotion, which makes his poems go further. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian wrote "Looking at Du Langzhong at Fifteen Nights": "Tonight, the moon is full, and I don't know whose house Qiu Si will fall." The poem points out the universal human feelings of this full moon night with euphemistic questions, and implicitly shows the poet's deep yearning for his hometown friends. There is also Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Thinking Far" in the Tang Dynasty 2. Liu-Liu-Don't-Reluctant Li Bai's Spring Night in Los Angeles
