Li Bai (70 1-762), whose real name is Taibai, was named a violet layman. Originally from Longxi (now near Tianshui, Gansu) and Ji Cheng, he was born in Suiye (now tokmak, Kyrgyzstan) in the western regions and grew up in Mian Governor Long (now jiangyou city, Sichuan). He is another great romantic poet after Qu Yuan. His achievements reached the peak of romantic art in the history of China's classical poetry development, which had a great and far-reaching influence on the Tang Dynasty and later generations, both in spirit and in expression. Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty has given him a high evaluation: "Du Li's article is there, and the fire is endless." Many writers after the Tang Dynasty, such as Su Shi and Lu You in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qi in the Ming Dynasty and Gong Zizhen in the Qing Dynasty, all accepted his influence to varying degrees and made different achievements.
The culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty gave birth to countless outstanding poets, among which Li Bai is undoubtedly the most talented and charming poet. The spirit, emotion and spirit of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are fully displayed in Li Bai's poems. Taking his poems as a whole, we can not only see the surging passion for no reason, but also appreciate the magical and grand imagination. In his poems, there are both vast and magnificent wonders and natural and beautiful artistic conception symbolizing charm; It not only has the grand ideal of "helping the poor" and "securing the country", but also has an extraordinary romantic color. On the basis of real life, he boldly used highly exaggerated metaphors to describe what he saw in front of him artistically, which made his image have a gripping and powerful artistic appeal. His imagination is strange and rich, and he gallops freely in images in distant time and vast space. In order to express his thoughts and feelings, he also used various historical legends and fairy tales to create unique and amazing artistic images. What is more noteworthy is that he always skillfully combines exaggerated metaphors, rich imagination and other romantic expressions with myths and legends, which makes many of his romantic poems have heroic momentum, high-spirited mood, strange images and extraordinary artistic conception, thus having a strong artistic appeal to readers. In addition, his vivid, clear, gorgeous and natural and fresh language makes him glorious and famous forever.
Li Bai's above-mentioned creative style is vividly reflected in his quatrains, metrical poems, Yuefu, Gexing and other poems.
1, quatrains Li Bai's poems and songs, whether in five or seven words, are fascinating. Looking at Tianmen Mountain is one of Li Bai's seven masterpieces. With Li Bai's open mind and romantic feelings, the natural landscape shows more and more bold and magnificent magic. This poem describes the poet's aesthetic feeling and instant emotion in the embrace of nature, and it is a natural work with a wave of his hand. The first sentence and the second sentence have shown the majestic self-confidence of Jiajiang confrontation and choppy waves, while the last two sentences are cordial and wonderful, giving people rich imagination and distant interest. The whole poem has a broad artistic conception, clear levels and vivid images. The feeling of that moment, infinite charm, natural beauty, universal humanity and human feelings are simple and real, and life is very interesting, giving people a kind of beauty of "clear water produces hibiscus, naturally carved". Of course, it is not enough to explain the seven wonders of Li Bai just by saying "Looking at Tianmen Mountain from afar". Li Bai's seven unique poems are mostly landscape poems and farewell poems. In these poems, there is a temperament that blends with heaven and earth and nature. With his naive childlike innocence, the poet integrated feelings with mountains and rivers. No matter how he writes about scenery and romance, there is a chic and refreshing realm, but also elegant and natural connotation, such as seeing Lushan Waterfall, sending Baidi City early and asking questions in the mountains. The waterfall flies straight, just like the milky way, how magical and spectacular it is, and how natural, pure, beautiful and elegant it is. "The apes on both sides of the strait can't cry, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man." The poet was banished as a yelang, but he was pardoned on the way. How elegant and elegant he was when he returned to Jiangling! Li Bai's quatrains are the highest of the seven quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, Li Bai's five-line quatrains are unparalleled. Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was the only one who was good at it. His five-line quatrains are often lively in style, showing infinite emotional charm in fluent language, which is both natural and implicit, true and concise, and rich in connotation, which is the highest realm of quatrains. Such as "sitting alone"
2. Li Bai's Yuefu songs are not only excellent quatrains, but also good Yuefu songs. For example, the Yuefu poem "Difficult Road to Shu" is Li Bai's masterpiece. When the poet first visited Chang 'an, he expressed his appreciation for this poem and said, "People don't have white stars?" Li Bai is called "fallen immortal". The whole poem of Shu Dao Nan can be roughly divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph is from the beginning to "then the ladder is connected with the stone pile" "Hey, danger!" Voice, volley; "Shu Dao is difficult, but it is difficult to go to the sky." I want to fall from the sky and smell it. Then, recalling the pain of opening the way in Qin Dynasty, the difficulty of Shu Road was shrouded in a thick mysterious and tragic color. The second paragraph, from "as high as a banner, six dragons drive the sun" to "happy children", specifically describes the dangerous, sad atmosphere and dangerous situation. Advise friends to return to Chang 'an early. At the beginning, in the middle and at the end, they all shouted "It's hard to go to the sky" and sang three sighs, which made people sad. The whole poem is patchy and varied. It highlights subjective feelings with bold exaggeration and clever metaphor, and forms a majestic momentum with wanton writing, which will make his poetry creation prosperous and powerful. Another example is "drinking". Li Bai brought his romantic temperament into Yuefu and brought new life to Yuefu. Although this poem seems to be "imitating the past", it is full of "I", which highlights the distinctive personality that others can't simulate and pushes Yuefu's poetry creation to an unparalleled peak. At that time, the poet put his sword in Chang 'an, hoping to display his talents and save the world. But Chang 'an's poetry creation. Drink and sing to get rid of troubles. This poem begins with two parallel long sentences, "You can't see how the water of the Yellow River moves out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return. You can't see the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room. Although it is silky black in the morning, it has turned into snow at night. " As soon as it came out, it was magnificent and thousands of miles away, expressing deep feelings about life. Then it seems that "sadness" suddenly becomes "joy" and "joy". In fact, "everyone is happy" means "happiness", and the state is extremely wild, but in fact he is depressed and helpless. Li Bai is known as "Brewmaster", and he has many drinking poems, among which this poem is an outstanding representative. Li Bai's song creation achievements are higher than Yuefu's. Such as "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream", "Liang" and other works, with their own subjective feelings and intentions as the axis to start the chapter, imaginative, alternating between reality and reality, pen gesture opening and closing, sometimes downstream, sometimes countercurrent. You can write whatever you want. For example, in Climbing the Tianmu Mountain in Dreams, oh, how can I solemnly bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials whose sincere faces will never be seen? "Li Bai's lyric is undoubtedly revealed, like a storm, falling suddenly, like mercury pouring down, as if pouring out directly from his chest. Li Bai's songs completely broke all the inherent forms of poetry creation, and the brushwork was changeable, reaching the realm of willfulness and arbitrariness. It fully embodies the poetic and picturesque meaning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Full of emotion, vigorous spirit of the times, with the beauty of growing masculinity. Looking at Li Bai's poems, it is not difficult to see that Li Bai is a very distinctive artistic personality; In the history of China's poetry, the artistic individuality of his works is also unique. His poems have a strong subjective color, which is mainly manifested in paying attention to expressing heroism and passionate feelings, and rarely describing objective images and specific events in detail. The most striking feature of Li Bai's lyric style is that it often erupts. Once the feelings are aroused, it rushes out without restraint, just like a raging and overflowing volcano in the sky. Combined with the expression of explosive emotions, the imagination of his poems is unpredictable, often unfounded and strange. Most of the images in his poems are magnificent and strange things, such as Dapeng, giant fish, long whales, great rivers and snowy mountains, which provide him with more and broader imagination and create more romance. The language style of Li Bai's poems is fresh and lively, which is the basic tone of his words. The poems he blurted out without thinking,
Why is Li Bai's creative style so romantic, elegant and unrestrained? Let's take a look at Li Bai's life experience. I think Li Bai's life runs through two main lines: one is his official career, and the other is the influence of Taoist thought on him. Li Bai was born in a rich family and received a good education, which made him "recite six precepts at the age of five and watch a hundred schools at the age of ten." He grew up in Shu as a teenager. Shu is a place with a strong Taoist atmosphere, and the environment has a great influence on his immortal Taoist belief. Taoism has a great influence. I spent almost my whole life studying vertical and horizontal art at the age of 18. I think it is because of these things that he was influenced by them in his youth and became arrogant, elegant and free and easy, and his poems also had that kind of strong, rushing feelings and unrestrained momentum. In the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), Li Bai began to travel, asking for recommendations many times, but failed. In the first year of Tianbao, this period was the most brilliant moment in his life. But not long after, he was vilified by powerful people and his career was hit again, which made him full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with the court, but he also cared about state affairs and hoped to make achievements. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai thought it was time to serve the country, and entered the tomb of Aeon to join the army generously, but was later convicted of rebellion and was pardoned on the way. He went to Li Guangbi to play southeast. He died of illness. I think that Li Bai idealized the life philosophy of the scholars in the prosperous Tang Dynasty who actively joined the WTO, and at the same time had the Confucian thoughts of "helping the poor" and "settling down" of the poets in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, his overly idealistic life design is bound to fail. However, he always yearned for such an ideal, so he kept wandering back and forth between success and failure, which made him often fall into grief, injustice and disappointment and maintained it. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Taoism, strategists and Confucianism all his life. Among them, Taoism influenced Li Bai's life. The reason why this part is put forward separately is because the belief in immortal Taoism occupies an important position in his thought. When I was a teenager, I lived in a place rich in Taoism in Sichuan, and naturally learned the art of vertical and horizontal. During his career, he held many Taoist ceremonies. Because of this. Eat, drink and be merry in time. In addition, his arrogant and free-spirited temperament also comes from this ideological foundation. He Zhangzhi once called him a fairy. "The most prominent feature of Li Bai's personality is independence and uninhibited." This is the product of the peak of human awakening since Wei and Jin Dynasties and the product of the high sublimation of the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "
