Why are Li Bai's works called "stunning works"?
That's because his literary talent is natural, and he has read a lot of poetry books, especially the road to seeking an official position is difficult, his personality is good and bold, and he is infiltrated by Taoist thought and Zhuangzi's style of writing, so his poetry works are brilliant and unrestrained, and ghosts and gods are unpredictable.
There is a logical relationship between them.
Why are Li Bai's poems out of line?
The first is Li Bai's character. He is not ignorant of appearance.
Because it can be seen from the "some deviant" of the problem that he still has a lot of deviant. And the word "extra-legal" is very broad. If we study the development of metrical rules, we will know that the rules of metrical rules are also mature step by step. The flat and even meter is extracted and summarized from the "four tones" law observed in a large number of works by court poets in the Tang Dynasty from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty. It's not something imagined by a few people and stereotyped internally.
That is to say, the formation of flat and flat metrical patterns in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is in line with the development law of poetry itself. At that time, it was an advanced cultural trend representing the new force of poetry. And we know, how is the rise of a new cultural trend concealed? It must be popular from big cities first, and then spread to the next level cities. Just like today's Beishangguang, it is bound to be a fashion pioneer, while the mainland and northwest have to keep up with the trend and go much slower.
Li Bai's character tends to be free. At the same time, he was born in Kazakhstan (to be determined) and grew up in Sichuan. Compared with the popular metrical poetry culture in Chang 'an, his education is actually conservative. This is also the reason why he likes to write Yuefu poems and has achieved great success-he is limited by regional culture. Of course, when he went out to Sichuan to visit celebrities and make friends with Gao Shi and Du Fu, Li Bai's intelligence level was very high, and he naturally knew the new business at a touch, but he didn't like it very much.
He writes Yuefu and short seven-meter and five-line poems with ease, but he is not as good as other metrical poets in slightly longer metrical poems. For example, Du Fu, such as Du Xiaoli in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, made more achievements in metrical poems than Li Bai.
However, at the age of 40, with the recommendation of Taoist Wu and Princess, Li Bai entered the imperial power center, but only became a summoned literary soldier-Hanlin. Even the world-famous "Qingpingle" belongs to the field of classical poetry, and later developed into a epigraph. As long as the format is a little longer, Li Bai's use of ancient style and Yuefu is as graceful as Youlong's, unlike Du Fu's subtle arrangement. On the long road to work, Li Bai met many nails because he liked to write ancient styles.
Just like the origin of our most popular nickname "Fallen Fairy". He values him so much, why not recommend him? As a leading figure in Beijing's poetry circles, he and another literary tycoon, Li Yong, actually have the same view on Li Bai. Bold and radical in character, but old-fashioned in writing style-at least in the early stage. At that time, meter, as a new trend of poetry, was supported by these literary giants, while Li Bai, a young man with lofty aspirations and outdated style, was a completely different existence.
This is the origin of the famous Li Shangyong. He Zhang called Li Bai a "fallen fairy", but it didn't necessarily mean to be discovered secretly-first, he suspected that Li Bai's life story was forged (the mystery of the ages), and second, his poetic style was antique, unlike contemporary literati. Later, with Li Bai's self-hype and the follow-up of scholars from all walks of life, he really became posthumous title who raised his status.
Li Bai's literary talent really deserves the title of "Poet Fairy".
It's hard to say whether he doesn't like rules or his personality is not suitable for being an official. To be sure, it has never been seriously recommended by these officials.
Since I was a child, I don't like limitations and I'm not familiar with meter (early stage), which is why there are many meters in Li Bai's poems. At the same time, because the meter itself didn't begin to improve until Du Fu's time, even the seven-character and five-character metrical poems that he was best at appeared the phenomenon of "sticking"-this is not what we don't like, because we will find that these two great poets, born in the same year, followed the principles of "substitution" and "relativity" of their poems well except "sticking", and they often.
Then, why does Li Bai often practice the law? One is personality, and the other is the reason for rice's own development.
Then let's look at the topic now.
Is it a problem that there are amazing works outside the law?
Metric is indeed the progress of poetry at that time, but it is only the progress in format. It is just a set of metrical tools to help poets avoid language diseases. We can use this tool to write poems that won't get sick soon, but it doesn't mean everyone has to use it. At that time, the imperial examination took this as the test, and everyone had to take it, but as long as they finished the test, no one forced them to write poems in meter.
It's like we learned the rules of driving today, and the procedures should not be chaotic at all during the exam. But after getting a driver's license? When starting, turn left first, then turn back, then turn back, then turn left, and even turn left and start back. What's wrong with that? Under the premise of ensuring safety, experts may not necessarily stick to the rules in the book, but they can also fly.
Li Bai is a racing driver and a cross-country god. When he won the rally, you asked him why he didn't turn left first.
Compared with poetic content and artistic conception, meter is just a driving test rule. Metric poetry and classical poetry are two forms of China's ancient poetry, which are distinguished by whether they obey the metrical poetry of Pingze or not.
Which form is used has nothing to do with the artistic conception of the content to be expressed.
Writing metrical poems is mostly rubbish, writing ancient styles, and there are many fine works. These two formats are different in fields, but the method of creating content artistic conception is the same, relying on image expression and the poet's personal talent and style.
Li Bai has a high literary talent, and many poets have a high literary talent, all of which are above the rules.
Everyone knows that Du Fu is the king of meter, but what we learn most are ancient poems such as Two Roads, Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, Three Officials and Three Farewells?
Therefore, the level of Li Bai's poems and songs has nothing to do with whether he is disciplined or not.
Whether a poem is well written is only related to the poet's literary talent, experience, knowledge and personal hobbies.
Great thoughts make great works.
