Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, and a masterpiece of the poet to express his spiritual world. On the surface, this poem describes a person's interest in traveling in Jingting Mountain, but its deep meaning is the poet's loneliness all his life.
With his peculiar imagination and ingenious conception, the poet gave life to the landscape and personified Jingting Mountain, which was very vivid. The author writes about his loneliness and his lack of talent, but he is more determined and seeks comfort and sustenance in nature.
This poem was written in Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (744), a year after Li Bai's political career was frustrated. Zhan E's Chronicle of Li Bai's Poems was written in the 12th year of Tianbao (753), and it is considered that it was written before and after Deng Jingting's visit to the south of the mountain and his nostalgia for Dou Zhushu. In the twelfth year of Tianbao, Li Bai went south to Xuancheng.
Before the trip, there was a poem "To send my brother Xuanzhou to be the satrap of Zhao Shi", saying, "The second assistant is Xuancheng County, and the officer is at leisure. Chang Zan Yun Yue invited me to worship Tingshan. " Li Bai has been wandering for a long time since he was released from the Hanlin ten years ago.
The long-term wandering life made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world, thus deepening his dissatisfaction with reality and increasing his sense of loneliness. However, his arrogance and stubbornness remain the same as before. I have been depressed because I have no talent.
Physical and mental fatigue needs comfort. During this period, he wrote a lot of poems to relieve his depression by wandering around immortals and drinking, and also wrote a lot of poems to express his feelings and feelings. Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain is one of them.
