Li Bai's poems praising the prosperous Tang Dynasty

The prosperous Tang Dynasty is an era full of glory and infinite yearning. The most magnificent glory of this era is condensed in three eternal names. Among them, Li Bai, without Li Bai's poems and songs in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his brilliance would be much dimmer. At the most dazzling moment in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai left it in his poem "Three Tunes in Qingping", so that future generations could imagine the peerless beauty, great emperor and colorful times in his poems.

Today, let's read Li Bai's "Three Songs of Qingping Tune" carefully and see how Li Bai praised the Tang Dynasty with peerless poems.

original text

Three words in a clear tone

one

Beautiful people who see the bright clouds, think of their clothes and see flowers come to see them.

If Yushan didn't see her, it would be Yaochi meeting under the moon.

Secondly,

A stick of incense and a stick of incense are heartbroken in vain.

Excuse me, who looks like Han Palace? The poor swallow relies on new cosmetics.

third

Famous flowers fall in love and laugh like kings.

Explain that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion is northward.

Three Poems of Qingpingdiao is a group of poems by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, and there are three seven-character Yuefu poems. The first song was written from the perspective of space, and the peony flower was more beautiful than Yang Guifei's. The second song was written from the perspective of time, showing the love for Yang Guifei; The third song always inherits the first two songs and integrates Peony and Yang Guifei with the king. The whole poem is ingenious in conception and gorgeous in rhetoric. It combines flowers and people to write, depicts the scene of flowers and plants, and shows the poet's superb artistic skills.

translate

one

Clouds want to be the clothes of the imperial concubine, and flowers want to be the appearance and beauty of the imperial concubine, such as peony exposed in the spring breeze beside the agarwood pavilion.

If it is not a fluttering fairy that can only be seen on Yuxian Mountain, it must be a fairy that can only be met under the moon in Yaotai.

Secondly,

Beauty is like a red peony with fragrant dew. Compared with Wushan Goddess, it can only be a waste of liver and intestines.

Excuse me, who can compare with her in Han Palace? YiWen Zhao Yan Fei can only compare with her because of her new makeup.

third

The famous flowers and the stunning beauty set each other off and made the king look at them with a smile.

Relying on the railing of Xiangting in the north, your infinite spring worries are swept away with the spring breeze.

Creation background

According to the records of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, these three poems were written by Li Bai when he offered sacrifices to the Hanlin in Chang 'an. In the spring of the second year of Tianbao (743) or the third year of Tianbao (744), Tang Xuanzong and Yang Fei were watching peony flowers in the palace, and musicians were preparing to perform songs and dances to entertain them. However, Tang Xuanzong said that old music words should not be used for concubines to enjoy famous flowers. Li Bai entered the palace to write a new movement because he urgently called Hanlin and other imperial edicts. Li Bai wrote these three poems on the golden flower stationery when his letter entered the palace.

Inscription of "All Tang Poems": "Tianbao is dedicated to Hanlin for nothing. Those who were forbidden to pay more attention to Peony and got four books, red, purple, light red and white, were transplanted to Chenxiang Temple, the east side of Xingqing Dongchi. Flowers bloom and fall, the night is white, and the princess follows suit. Especially those who choose their disciples in the pear garden will be happy to have 16 color. Li Guinian is good at singing. He has a sandalwood board in his hand. He wants to sing in front of music. The master said,' When appreciating famous flowers, why don't you use old music words for concubines?' He ordered the Year of the Tortoise to hold a golden flower, announce Li Bai, and enter the three chapters of Qingpingdiao. The imperial edict was written in vain, but it was not solved in the night, so it was given by pen. The song of the Year of the Tortoise, Taizhen holding a pear seven treasures cup, drinking Pu Tao wine from Xiliangzhou, laughing and lyrics, is meaningful. Because Yu Di leans on the tune of the song, every song will change, and her voice will be flattering in the later period. So real. Drink it, wrap the embroidered towel and worship again. Naturally, Li Hanlin is different from (his) bachelor. "

Make an appreciative comment

These three poems written by Mu Shaoyao (Peony) and Yang Fei in an interactive way show that flowers are people and people are flowers, which makes people's faces smooth and smooth, thanks to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of text structure, the first one was written from space and introduced Yuan Long on the Moon to readers. The second song was written at that time, introducing the balcony of the King of Chu and the court of Emperor Hancheng to readers. The third song returns to the present reality, pointing out that the Tang Palace is north of Chenxiang Temple. Poetry and pen are not only easy to write, but also interlinked. The spring breeze in "The First" echoes the spring breeze in "The Third".

The first song, with the words "clouds need clothes, flowers need capacity", makes Yang Fei's clothes look like clothes, surrounded by her plump jade capacity. The word "Xiang" has both positive and negative understandings. It can be said that when you see clouds, you think of clothes, and when you see flowers, you think of looks. It can also be said that you think of clothes as clouds and looks as flowers, so the interaction is uneven, and the seven words give people a feeling of flowers. Next, "the spring breeze blows the sill to show the flowers", and the beauty of peony flowers is more colorful in the crystal dew, which makes the above sentence more full. At the same time, the wind dew symbolizes the grace of the king and makes the painted face more spiritual. Below, the poet's imagination suddenly rose to the Yushan and Yaotai groups where the Queen Mother of the West lived in heaven. "If it weren't for" and "meeting", the poet pretended to choose. He was convinced that such a beautiful painted face could only be seen in the fairyland of heaven, either the fluttering fairy seen on Yushantou or the goddess in front of Yaotai Temple in the moonlight. Yushan, Yaotai and moonlight, with simple words, set off a beautiful face, naturally reminiscent of a white jade-like person, a warm white peony flower. At the same time, the poet did not show any trace, and compared Yang Fei to a fairy, which was really exquisite.

The second song begins with the sentence "a piece of red dew condenses fragrance", which writes both color and fragrance; Not only the natural beauty, but also the dew beauty, which is a step further than the previous Revlon. Use the story of the king of Chu to humanize the flowers in the previous sentence, and point out that the king of Chu is heartbroken as a goddess. In fact, the goddess in the dream is not as good as the beauty now. After that, Zhao, the queen of Emperor Han Chengdi, was a peerless beauty, but Zhao still had to rely on new makeup. Those who looked like beauties in front of her eyes did not need makeup, which was naturally amazing. This song also respects the topic by depressing the goddess and the flying swallow and raising Yang Fei. According to legend, Zhao is light and can dance in the crystal plate held by imperial secretary, while he is relatively fat, with the inherent saying that "the ring is fat and thin" (Yang Guifei's real name is Yuhuan). On this basis, it was later said that Yang Fei liked these three poems very much and often recited them. Gao Lishi thought it was a great insult, because Li Bai had ordered him to take off his boots, so he summoned Yang Fei, saying that Li Bai mocked Yang Fei's fatness with the thinness of the swallow, and mocked Yang Fei's palace chaos with the adultery of the swallow. However, this view has been opposed by many scholars. These scholars believe that if there is such an intention in Li Bai's poems, first of all, he can't escape Xuanzong, who has knowledge and culture, and Yang Fei is not a man without cultural accomplishment. According to the original poem, it has obvious meaning of restraining the ancient and respecting the present.

The third song, from the fairyland ancients back to reality. The first two sentences, "Famous flowers pour over the country and care for each other, which makes the king smile." The beauty in "Pour Out the Country" refers to Yang Fei, of course. The poem only points out here that the peony and "dumping the country" and "dumping the country" are combined into one, and the words "smiling and looking" are unified, so that the peony, Yang Fei and Xuanzong are integrated. Because the word "laugh" in the second sentence aroused the third sentence "show infinite hatred for the spring breeze", and the word "spring breeze" is synonymous with the king. This sentence made the beauty of peony interesting, and the king smiled, of course, without hatred, and all his troubles were relieved. At the end of last year, the place where Yang Fei enjoyed flowers was "Chenxiang Temple North". The flowers outside the diaphragm are very elegant and romantic when people lean on them.

These three poems are rich in language and words, and the most prominent thing is to write flowers and people together, such as "the cloud wants clothes and flowers to look good", as if writing flowers and faces. "A red dew condenses fragrance" is also a blend of people and things, referring to this and that. After reading these three poems, if you feel that the spring breeze is full of paper, the flowers are full of eyes and the face is blurred, you don't need to portray it. Naturally, people think that this is a peony, a beautiful jade, and nothing else. No wonder these three poems were deeply appreciated by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty at that time.
