1. How do the first two poems express the author's mood?
At the beginning of this poem, I don't write about the building, let alone say goodbye, but stand on the wall and express my feelings directly. "Yesterday's Day" and "Today's Day" refer to many "Yesterday" that left me and the "Today" that followed. In other words, every day I feel that the sun and the moon are dim, time is hard to stay, I am upset and depressed.
It not only contains the spiritual depression of "difficult official career", but also melts the poet's feeling of dirty political reality. His "troubles" didn't start today, and his "troubles" didn't stop there. Perhaps it can be said that this is an artistic summary of his long-term political experience and feelings. The depth, breadth and intensity of anxiety and anger reflect the increasing corruption of state affairs and the increasing embarrassment of Li Bai's personal experience since Tianbao.
The intense mental pain caused by the sharp contradiction between ideal and reality has found a suitable expression here. The origin of surprise, overlapping language (all say "dislike me" and "can't stay"); The words "disturbing my heart", also called "melancholy", and the eleven-word sentence pattern vividly show the poet's deep depression, strong anxiety and anger, chaotic mood, and explosive and uncontrollable emotional state.
2. The poet used figurative rhetoric in this poem. Please illustrate its function with examples.
"But since the water is still flowing, even though we cut it with the sword, sadness will come back, even though we drown them with wine."
It is strange and creative to use the word "drawing a sword" to describe the inner anguish that cannot be solved. The phrase "raising a glass" expresses the frustration he can't get rid of, and he can only worry about it. It also expresses the sadness of leaving.
The metaphor of "But since the water is still flowing, although we use the sword to cut it" is strange and novel, and at the same time it is natural, appropriate and full of life. In front of Xie Tiao Building, there is a stream that flows all the year round. It is easy to associate endless running water with endless troubles, so naturally there is the idea of "drawing a sword and cutting off water", which is triggered by a strong desire to get rid of troubles. Because of the close relationship between metaphor and eye view, it has more or less the meaning of "xing", which makes it feel natural and natural to read. Although the inner anguish can't be dispelled, the detail of "drawing a sword and cutting off water" vividly shows the poet's appeal to get rid of mental anguish, which is obviously different from those who are addicted to depression and can't extricate themselves.
The last two sentences of this poem show the negative attitude of the poet. How did you know?
The contradiction between Li Bai's ideal and reality could not be solved under the conditions at that time. So he is always trapped in "meaningless" depression. Moreover, only "sending a boat" can find a way out for depression. This is inevitably a bit negative, but he is also expressing his unyielding attitude towards evil forces and his deep hatred for the real society.
