In the second part, from "inviting me to Yuntai" to "flooding Hongming", the poet and the immortal Wei Shuqing traveled together in Ziming, using Wei Shuqing's story as a metaphor for their own experience, which is a transition from fairyland to the world in structure.
In the third part, from "overlooking Luoyang River" to "wearing a crown by a jackal", the poet looked down on the world and saw the horror of human war, reflecting the bloody filth of reality. The contrast before and after not only shows the contradiction between being born and entering the WTO, but also shows the poet's pursuit of ideals and resistance to reality.
The Representative Significance of Fifty-nine Ancient Poems
Fifty-nine Ancient Poems is a set of poems by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The contents of these 59 poems have inherited the tradition of Ruan Ji's 82 poems and Chen Ziang's 38 poems. They either express their feelings, or lament the past, hurt the present, or satirize the reality.
The basic theme of the poetry group is "the chaos of the world" since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which reflects that Li Bai's poetry theory did not simply conform to the popular atmosphere of advocating Jian 'an at that time, but tried to trace back to the past and deepen the retro poetry theory since the early Tang Dynasty.
In art, poets not only use realism, but also exaggerate their imagination. Sometimes, they combine expressing ideal wishes and describing suffering reality in one poem. Each poem is relatively independent, but it shows the overall characteristics in theme, conception, style, poetry source and so on.
