Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang 'an.
A thin layer of frost shone like a small mirror on my cold cushion.
High light flashing; My desire is getting deeper and deeper. I lift the curtain, sigh and stare at the moon.
Lonely as a flower, rising from the clouds.
There is a clear sky in the world. Below, I see the green and agitation of water.
The sky is high and the land is wide; My sadness flies painfully between them. Can I dream of crossing the mountain gate? .
Sauvignon Blanc destroys the heart and soul.
This arrangement of poetry is to show the structural characteristics of poetry: perfect symmetry! Taking the sentence "single flower, cloud as the center" as a turning point, it forms complete symmetry in sentence patterns and words, but it is concise and clean, but it shows the poet's superb poetry creation skills. Symmetrical repetition of long and short sentence forms repetitive effect in rhythm, which adds endless interest to poetry. Sauvignon Blanc is an ancient Yuefu poem, and two Chinese Yuefu poems are "the transition from four-character poems to five-character poems and miscellaneous poems" [1]. Obviously, Li Bai inherited the characteristics of Yuefu poetry and made some innovations in his creation.
However, the perfect symmetry in structure is nothing but poetic symmetry. Our masterpiece: the first sentence begins with "Sauvignon Blanc" and explains the location "in Chang 'an", which is unremarkable but leaves a lot of room for later rendering. The phrase "winding weft" tries to describe the real scene. The Weaver Girl is singing by the well, and first frost is sad. It is already late autumn, and there is a chill on the bamboo mat, but the words are clear but full of sadness. The protagonist misses the moon under the dim and lonely lamp, and hangs a curtain to sigh for the moon. Why do you have this mentality? That's because being single is like a flower, with the cloud as the center.
As mentioned earlier, the sentence "beauty" is a structural turning point, and it is also a poetic turning point here, which inherits the scenery and expresses emotion. The words "Up, I see the blue of the sky is deep, down, I see the green of the water and I am restless" are shallow, but the artistic conception is deep! Put the poet's feelings in an infinite space. "Forever and ever, my soul flies in pain. Can I dream over the portal and over the mountains?" It seems that I want to pull this feeling out of my body, and it is difficult for my soul to cross the mountain, which makes people feel anxious! Finally, back to the theme of "Sauvignon Blanc", I feel several times better than the opening. The words "destroy the heart" are the end of the sentence. Although the words are exhausted, the feelings are not exhausted, and repeated chewing is even more exciting. The symmetrical beauty of poetry has become a repetitive emotional experience.
Shallow reading, "Sauvignon Blanc" is a sincere and meaningful love poem, but I have no intention of falling into this childish modality. This poem was written by Li Bai after he went to Korea. How can a frustrated and resentful poet be worried here? If we think carefully about the images in this poem, we can get a deeper meaning.
After Li Bai went to Korea, he often talked about transcendence, but the poet's reluctance to leave the palace has always been there. The so-called "I will ride the wind and waves one day, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea" and "The sober people and saints in the old days have been forgotten, and only great drinkers can be immortalized" are all complaining. The more passionate they shouted, the more painful they felt. Acacia in Sauvignon Blanc is in Chang 'an, and the object of acacia is "beauty", which expresses the meaning of missing you through love. The image of "beauty" originated from The Book of Songs. Since Qu Yuan, all the literati in China have been in this "cage". "Because the cultural structure of feudal society in China presents an isomorphism of ethical center and home country. The basic characteristics such as the unity of man and nature make the political pursuit and love pursuit of China literati living in this cultural situation present an interactive mode "[2].
"Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history". Reading Sauvignon Blanc as a simple love poem only sees its "quality", so it is necessary for us to pursue the "text" in the poem. In the Tang Dynasty when Li Bai lived, secularism was not the main object of description. No matter the environmental background or the mentality of the literati, the explanation of love deficiency is more reasonable.
