Li Bai is known as “Poem Immortal”, no matter his talent, And talent, which is far superior to other poets, and his poetry is in a class of its own. Friends who may be familiar with Tang poetry know that Tang poetry is not like Song poetry, it is more lyrical, what it wants to express is a state of mind, and the most real perception of things; but Song poetry is different, more It is still biased towards philosophy, although later generations have mixed praise and criticism for Song poetry, thinking that it has lost the charm of poetry. In fact, whether it is lyrical or philosophical, it is the pride of traditional culture.
Although Tang poetry is relatively simple, when it comes to Li Bai’s pen, it becomes different. There are many The works are not only lyrical, but also deeply philosophical, especially Li Bai’s Difficulty Traveling. Part 1, which is a very interesting work. The whole poem is majestic and impressive to read. This poem is also one of his more representative works. It can be said that it has inspired countless readers and made us understand a lot of truth. A person may suffer a lot, but as long as he perseveres, there must be What you gain will be able to overcome all difficulties.
10,000 for a golden bottle of sake, and 10,000 for a jade plate.
I can’t eat when I stop the cup and throw the chopsticks.
If you want to cross the Yellow River Bingsaichuan, you will climb the snow-covered mountains in Taihang.
I came to fish on Bixi in my spare time, and suddenly I dreamed of taking a boat to the horizon.
The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergences, where are you today?
There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the sails will hang straight to the sea.
Li Bai was able to write such imposing and philosophical works, in fact, it was precisely because he was deeply affected at the time, and because he was about to leave Chang’an, this was undoubtedly a blow to him. When I first arrived in Chang’an, I thought that with my talent, I would definitely achieve a career and realize my ideals in life, but at that time, Tang Xuanzong didn’t seem to be interested in him, he just kept him by his side and let him keep writing poems to praise Yang. Concubine, this is intolerable for Li Bai, he also disdain to write those poems that slap the horse, and finally wrote a poem full of irony, which was impeached, not only the gold given back, but also in Chang’an. No chance either.
Li Bai’s poem was written in AD 742 (the first year of Tianbao), when many friends came to Farewell, after drinking a few glasses of wine, he recited this poem casually, which allowed us not only to see his extraordinary talent, but also understand why he was able to write such a powerful work, although in reality Suffered a blow, but for Li Bai, despite suffering countless blows in life, he is still strong and will not be afraid of this hardship and the hardships that life has given him.
The opening four sentences first explain the time and place, as well as a feeling in my heart. It is precisely because he is leaving Chang’an that Li Bai is still somewhat sad, so he faces the wine table. He didn’t stop the chopsticks in his hands and couldn’t swallow the delicacies from the mountains and seas. Although these foods are very precious and worth a lot of money, he was very sad at this time, so he wrote extremely sad, and every sentence created a kind of feeling. A sense of poignancy.
The four sentences in the middle are another stroke, creating a unique charm. I wanted to cross the Yellow River, but there was a thick layer of ice on it. I wanted to climb the Taihang Mountains, but the wind and snow blocked the mountains. Here Li Bai is telling many people that he originally had lofty aspirations, but now he has no place to use it. How can this not make people sad? He can only go out to fish in a small stream like Jiang Taigong in his spare time, or dream like Yi Yin, passing by the place where the sun rises by boat. These few sentences create a sense of poignancy, which makes us feel the helplessness of the poet once again.
The last few sentences are more interesting and more philosophical, life is difficult , It’s very difficult, and there are many ways to go, but where am I now? Especially the last two sentences are even more touching. “There will be times when the wind and waves will break, and the sails will help the sea.” These two sentences are actually comforting to myself. It must always come, and at that time, raise the sails and cross the sea alone.
Li Bai’s poems always have a unique charm, and in this poem, he expresses his own perception of life and his outlook on the future in a very tragic tone. This makes this poem full of philosophy. For ordinary readers like us, as long as we can really understand the meaning, I believe that it will definitely benefit for a lifetime.
