Translation and Appreciation of Li Bai's Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream

The full text of Tianmu Mountain is published in the ancient poems of dreams.

A sailing tourist will talk about Japan, which is hidden in water and fog and inaccessible.

But the more people talk about the mother mountain, the clouds are light or visible.

On a straight line leading to heaven, its peak enters heaven, topped with five sacred peaks, and casts a shadow across China.

The Paradise Terrace Mountains are 100 miles long, and it is here that they begin to extend to the southeast.

My heart and my dream are in Wu Heyue, flying over Jinghu Moon overnight.

The moon lit up my shadow and I came to Yanhe.

Xie 'an is still there, with a loud voice and rippling blue waves.

I wore Xie's earliest spiked shoes and climbed the Qingyun ladder.

Halfway through the sunny ocean, the sacred rooster crows in space.

Thousands of turns, flowers lure me, stones slow me down. The day suddenly ended.

Bears, dragons and storms on mountains and rivers disturb forests and shake mountains.

Clouds are darkened by rain, and streams are pale by fog.

God of thunder and lightning, the mountains are crumbling.

Cave stone gate, drain in tiankeng.

An impenetrable shadow, but now the sun and the moon illuminate a golden and silver terrace.

Wearing rainbow clothes and riding the wind, all the queens of the clouds came and came down one by one.

With the tiger as the harp and the phoenix as the dancer, the images of fairies are arranged in rows.

I moved, my soul flew and suddenly began to grow.

My pillow and mat are the lost clouds in which I once lived.

This is the consistent way of human happiness, and all kinds of things will always flow to the east like water.

When will you return it when you leave? But let me raise a white deer on my green hillside and ride to you when I need you, Dashan.

Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those people with high status and important positions? They never want to be seen with a sincere face.

Appreciation of the ancient poem "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream"

This poem entitled "Don't be an East Lu Gong" is a representative work of Li Bai and was written in the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (745). The year before last, Li Bai was pushed out by powerful people in the capital Chang 'an, released from Beijing and arrived in Shandong. He will travel to wuyue from eastern Shandong this year, and give this poem to his friends before he leaves. The whole poem focuses on dreams, imaginary realm, feelings and thoughts, so as to make the princes of Donglu leave their thoughts.

This poem expresses the poet's warm yearning for the bright world and the fairy world by the romantic way of dreaming into a famous mountain fairyland. It shows the noble spirit of pursuing beautiful ideals, yearning for free life, despising the dark world and despising high officials and generous people.

This poem reflects Li Bai's complicated thoughts and feelings and contradictory psychological state. The poet's feelings after waking up from a dream (the last seven sentences of the psalm), sitting in shock and sighing, expressed his feelings: first, the world is like a dream, fleeting; Second, I want to ride a deer to seek immortality and stay away from the turbid world; Third, Li Zhuo, proudly, is not strong. These three points reflect the theme of this poem and are the main idea of an article. Li Bai is ambitious, but the cruelty of society, especially his three-year life in Chang 'an, made him clearly realize that his ideal could not be realized. He is not satisfied with reality, and he can't change reality; He can't find a way out, can't see the light, and can only pin his ideal mind on fairyland.

Therefore, the fairy world and absurd fantasy described by the poet are actually the artistic sublimation of his life ideal and political ideal, rooted in the soil of reality, and draw dazzling beams in the dark. In the poem, although the author also reveals the negative thought of "ten thousand waters flow eastward in Qian Shan", "But let me raise a white deer on my green slope and ride to you when I need you, Dashan". But it should be noted that this is the poet's detached attitude when he is depressed, lonely, angry and difficult to fly. The idea of seeking immortality to visit the Tao with impermanence of personnel is not a surrender to reality, nor a compromise to powerful people, but a resistance to reality and a contempt for luxury.

The solemn spirit of "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those dignitaries whose sincere faces will never be seen" is the cohesion of the whole poem, and it is also the ideological basis for the author to pursue ideals and yearn for freedom. In feudal society, Li Bai dared to think of others and said that others dared not say it. He spit out the resentment he had suppressed for many years and sang the sympathy of countless upright and incompetent people at that time. This is his extraordinary greatness. It is at this point that the poet's romantic poems about immortals have gained profound and positive ideological significance.

In the structure of the poem, the whole poem is divided into three sections: before sleepwalking, during sleepwalking and after sleepwalking.

The first paragraph (from the first sentence to "at this point, it began to turn to the southeast") describes the causes of sleepwalking. This part contains two layers. On the first floor, two images of reality and reality are written at the beginning with two neat antitheses: Yingzhou, water and fog are inaccessible, Tianmu and clouds are fading or visible, and the objective existence of Tianmu is set off by the illusion of Xianshan. It shows the poet's yearning for famous mountains and scenic spots. On the second floor, the sentence "A straight line goes up to heaven, and its peak goes up to the sky" exaggerates the majestic mountain situation. Among them, the three verbs "horizontal", "pull" and "cover" are skillfully used, which not only writes the magical and majestic appearance of Tianmu, but also gives it a strong sense of movement. Since the mountain is extremely high and steep, it is reasonable to visit it. The poet can't help but be fascinated, fill it with "dreams", spread the colorful wings of imagination and fly to a new image world.

The second paragraph ("My heart and my dream are in Wu and Yue" to "It's a mysterious cloud where I am") describes the process of sleepwalking. This is the main part of the whole poem. "My heart and my dream are in me and Yue", connecting the preceding with the following, arousing dreams. According to the change of sleepwalking scene, the following can be divided into four layers.

The first layer is "Monkeys clearly call on the blue waves", which describes the scene of flowing from dreams. Use the word "fly" to simulate the speed of crossing the lake and express the desire for travel; The touch of "night", "moon", "dew" and "water" makes it full of beautiful and quiet atmosphere. The poet drove the Changfeng, covered with moonlight, crossed Jinghu Lake to Tunxi, and came to Xie Lingyun's lodging place where he visited Tianmu. Facing the gurgling water, the poet couldn't help traveling more intensely and climbing mountains all night.

On the second floor, I went to "Holy Cockcrow in Space" to describe the dream of Tianmu. The serialization of "writing" and "climbing" shows the lightness of the poet's desire to climb mountains. When Li Zhuo was at the top of Tianmu Mountain, he witnessed the sunrise at sea, listened to the cock crow and enjoyed the scenery of lakes and mountains. How broad his vision is and how open his mind is! The poet deliberately chose this mountaineering route in his poem, which not only wrote the magnificence of nature, but also expressed his interest in expressing his feelings for mountains and rivers with Xie Lingyun, which enriched the content of sleepwalking.

On the third floor, I went to "row upon row, like hemp fields, lined with fairy-like figures" to describe my experience of sleepwalking on the top of the mountain. This layer is the key part of sleepwalking Tianmu. With the twists and turns of sleepwalking, the description in the poem also goes up and down, and the peak of the pen is another thrilling and magical realm. During the daytime tour, the poet summed it up in one sentence: "a thousand rocks turn, flowers lure me, and rocks comfort me." The day suddenly ended. " The poet walked through the rugged and fantastic mountain road, sometimes turning around, sometimes dying, and sometimes dying. I wandered in the appreciation room and suddenly felt that night was coming. A word "suddenly" shows that the poet has been intoxicated with it and lingers. "Bears, dragons, mountains and rivers are in shock" four sentences describe the scene at the top of Tianmu Mountain at night: bears growl, dragons scream, rock springs vibrate, deep forests tremble, the summit is frightened, clouds and rain are raining, and running water is smoking. The poet's technique of expressing the infinite beauty of nature has reached perfection.

Soon, the poet used four powerful words to describe the spectacular scenes of lightning, thunder, landslides and stone cracks. In a flash, the poet's pen suddenly turned, pushing his fantasy to the top, showing the most wonderful and magnificent fairyland in his sleepwalking: the sky is clear, vast and deep; The sun and moon are hanging high, the balcony is rugged, and gold and silver are shining. In this sunny and high-spirited sky, immortals dressed in neon dresses flew down in a mighty breeze and came in droves; The white tiger plays the piano for it, and qingluan drives the car for it. Yue Xian is beaming, which is an unprecedented event. How can such a free and unrestrained immortal life not let the poet admire and fall? ! This is the highest realm of the poet's sleepwalking, and it is also the most brilliant artistic picture of the whole poem.

The fourth layer to "It's the lost cloud where I am" describes the modality of waking up from a dream. Just as the poet was immersed in the fairyland, "I moved, I was stunned, I woke up with a sigh" and returned to reality, and the realm of poetry suddenly changed. The dreamland filled with fairy gas in the dream is in sharp contrast with the gloomy cold when you wake up, forming a * * * ring of the whole poem, which strongly shakes the readers' heartstrings. The poet's giant pen is like a rafter, which opens and closes tightly. He suddenly closed his pen while sleepwalking, exposing the contradiction between ideal and reality and highlighting the sharp opposition between individual and environment. In this passage, the poet is imaginative, vivid, coherent, confusing, ups and downs, dazzling and amazing.

The third paragraph ("Human happiness is always like this" to the end of the article) describes the feeling of sleepwalking, which is the theme of the whole poem. The whole poem "dreams because of words, realizes because of dreams, varies because of realization, and is not chaotic at all." If the dream in the middle is blurred, the meaning of the word is strange. " At the same time, it should be noted that the structure of this poem is a leap-forward structure with odd peaks, which is as correct as that of Youlong. This structure not only vividly reflects the vagaries of dreams, but also profoundly shows the ups and downs of the poet's feelings. The emotional torch that illuminates the whole poem is the rhyme at the end of the poem, which runs through the beginning and end like a bond. Although the artistic picture of the whole poem changes quickly and sits in harmony, it does not appear fragmented because of the stable connection of emotional ties; From the jumping transformation of the picture, readers clearly feel the surging feelings of the poet. It can be seen that this structure is determined by the poet's warm feelings and eagerness to express.

In artistic conception, the poet broke through the stereotype of leaving farewell poems that "it hurts to be different". He didn't write farewell feelings at all, but expressed his feelings through "farewell" and wrote a thrilling dream poem to show his political attitude of not serving the powerful. He wrote the beauty of fairy tale world just to compare the evil of real society;

Writing about one's longing for fairyland is precisely to show one's hatred of the world. The dripping poetic pen writes all kinds of adventures and pursuits of the poet's spirit, as if the poet's repressed soul had been truly freed in his dream. It is precisely because of this ingenious artistic conception that the whole poem is rich in content and colorful in images, thus forming the romantic artistic conception of the whole poem.

In the way of expression, the poet is unrestrained, combining extreme exaggeration with absurd imagination to create a fascinating and magnificent artistic conception, which is dazzling and thrilling.

This poem is a seven-character quatrain with creative syntactic changes. The whole poem takes seven words as the main axis, and the long and short sentence patterns of four, five, six and nine are interlaced, with various sentence patterns of Chu Ci and Han Fu, which are vivid, flexible and seamless. The rhyme of a poem is not bound by tradition, but its cadence, fast and slow rhythm and repeated rhyme are all subject to the needs of the content itself.

In terms of poetic language, this poem has the characteristics of simplicity, naturalness, roundness, elegance, brilliance and no carving.
