Li Bai (701-762 AD), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi.
His ancestral home was Longxi (now Gansu), and his ancestors once lived in the Western Regions. When Li Bai was about five years old, he moved to Changlong, Sichuan (now Jiangyou County), and spent his teenage years here. Li Bai came from a wealthy family. He read hundreds of books from different sources when he was young, and showed extraordinary literary talent.
At the same time, he is sociable, influenced by friends and society, likes to talk about cultivating Taoism and becoming immortal, yearns for chivalry and righteousness, is generous and ambitious, and has an unrestrained personality. At the age of 25, he left his hometown and traveled north and south of the Yangtze River and Yellow River, making friends with celebrities and gaining high social prestige with his poetry.
In the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), he was recommended by friends and summoned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was appointed as a Hanlin scholar and an attendant of the emperor. He lived in Chang'an for nearly three years, making him influential to the court and nobles. Society has direct understanding. Due to the exclusion of powerful ministers, Yu Tianbao left Chang'an in the third year of Tianbao (745 AD) and began to wander again.
In Luoyang, he met Du Fu, who was 11 years younger than him, and formed a lifelong friendship. When the Anshi Rebellion began, he was 55 years old and was in Xuancheng (in today's Anhui).
During the Anshi Rebellion, with the feeling of serving the country, he was invited by King Yong Li Lin to work in his shogunate; later Li Lin was eradicated by Suzong Li Heng, and Li Bai was exiled to Yelang (in today's Guizhou) , was pardoned on the way and returned, living between Jinling (now Nanjing) and Xuancheng. He died of illness in Dangtu (now Anhui) in the first year of Baoying (762 AD) at the age of 62. Li Bai fantasized all his life to fulfill his ambition and do something great in the world.
This can be seen everywhere in his poetry. In the poem "Shang Li Yong", it is said: The great roc rises with the wind in one day and soars up to ninety thousand miles.
If the wind dies down, it can still blow away the water. When people see me, they all sneer at Yu Dayan.
Xuan's father is still afraid of future generations, but his husband cannot be young. He compared himself to the roc that stirred up the sky and sea in "Zhuangzi". He was full of confidence in his political ability, which was ridiculed by the world. He also defended himself with the words of Confucius (Xuanfu) that "the descendants are to be feared".
The poet is very naive in politics. In fact, he may not have the talents of a politician. It is not surprising that his "big words" are ridiculed. However, as a poet, he is a genius, a great roc that travels across the sky and sea.
He has been a poet all his life and has done nothing politically. In his own opinion, it is unfortunate, but for Chinese literature, it is a great blessing. If there were no Li Bai in Tang poetry, it would be a great pity if one of the pillars of the magnificent building was removed.
Li Bai has a considerable number of poems that expose and criticize social injustice, such as one of the "Fifty-Nine Ancient Poems": The carts are flying dust, and the pavilions are dark at noon. There is a lot of gold in the middle, and there is a house in Lianyun.
If you meet a fighting cock on the road, what a brilliant crown he has. The breath is dry and rainbow-colored, and all passers-by are wary.
There is no ear-cleaning man in the world. Who knows about Yao and Zhi? This is a satirical look at the sycophants who gained power around the emperor.
They swaggered through the city in luxurious cars, stirring up dust all over the sky. Some eunuchs (middle and noble) had a lot of money and built magnificent residences.
The cockfighters, who were happy for the emperor, also rode in chariots with canopies to show off their power. Their nostrils were pointed toward the sky, and the breath they exhaled seemed to stir up the clouds in the sky (it was extremely arrogant), and pedestrians on the road were so frightened that they did not dare to approach.
In the end, the poet lamented that there are no more sages like Xu You (Xi Er Weng) in society. Who can distinguish between good people (Yao) and bad people (Zhi)? Legend has it that the ancient sage Tang Yao wanted to give up his throne to Xu You. When Xu You heard about it, he thought it had polluted his ears, so he ran to the river to wash his ears. He was considered a sage who despised fame and fortune. Zhi is the legendary "big thief" in ancient times, and of course it is synonymous with bad guys.
In the later period of Tang Xuanzong's political corruption, the dynasty was in decline. Li Baimin was aware of this and exposed and satirized it in his poems. Li Bai didn't write many poems directly describing the suffering of the people, but he wrote them very brilliantly, such as "Battle in the South of the City": Last year's battle, Sang Qianyuan; This year's battle, Conghe Road.
Wash the troops in the waves on the sea, and let the horses go to grass in the snow of Tianshan Mountain. After a long march of thousands of miles, the three armies were all old.
The Xiongnu used killing as farming. Since ancient times, only white bones and yellow sand fields have been seen. The Qin family built a city to prepare for Hu, and the Han family still had a war going on.
The flames of war are endless and the battle is endless. Fighting to death in the field, the defeated horse howls to the sky in sorrow.
The black kite (yuān yuan) pecks at people’s intestines and flies up to dry branches. The soldiers are careless and the generals are empty.
One knows that soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints must use them as a last resort! This poem uses the title of the Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty, and intentionally learns from the tradition of Yuefu poems, but it is more vivid and profound than the Han Dynasty poem "Battle in the South of the City". "Sangqian", "Conghe", "Tiaozhi" and "Tianshan" are all frontier place names.
Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty traveled far away from their homeland to fight in these places, and often never returned. Some border peoples engage in war and plunder, and countless people have died in the desert in ancient and modern times.
The place where the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu is still at war and wars continue to this day ("Han family", Tang people used to use "Han" to refer to "Tang", which actually refers to the Tang Dynasty). The defeated horse screamed on the battlefield in search of its owner, but his owner was eaten by crows and eagles, and his intestines were hung on dead branches.
The soldiers died in battle, and the generals who led the troops were busy in vain and gained nothing. Finally, the poet used the words of ancient military books: War is not a fun thing, and a virtuous monarch only uses it as a last resort.
Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was so happy about his achievements that he fought for years and suffered hardships for the people. This poem was written for this reason. Li Bai wrote many poems describing the great rivers and mountains of his motherland, most of which are masterpieces.
The style of his poems is different from that of Wang Wei and Meng Haoran. If the landscape poems of Wang Wei and Meng Haoran are meticulous meticulous paintings, Li Bai's landscape poems are large-scale paintings with flying rafters. Freehand. He often does not depict individual plants and trees, but captures the charm of nature from a macro perspective.
The Yangtze River, craggy rocks and cliffs, thousands of miles of wind and clouds, secluded rocks and ancient trees all immediately started to fly as soon as they came into his writing, driven by him, creating a mythical world coexisting with nature. . For example, the scenery of Mount Lu is described in "The Ballad of Mount Lu Sent to Lu Shiyu Xuzhou": There are two peaks in front of the Golden Tower, and three stone beams hang upside down from the Milky Way.
The Xianglu Waterfall looks across from each other in the distance, and the cliffs reach the peak. Green shadows and red clouds reflect the morning sun, and birds cannot fly to Wu Tianchang.
Climbing high and spectacular, between heaven and earth, the vast river will never return. The yellow clouds are moving thousands of miles, and the white waves are flowing over the nine snow-capped mountains.
What a magnificent momentum this is! Only Li Bai's mind can contain such momentum, and only Li Bai's magic pen can write such momentum. Another example is a passage from the famous "The Road to Shu is Difficult": Above there are six dragons returning to the sun, and below there are rushing waves and turning back to Sichuan.
The Yellow Crane cannot fly past. 3. Poems describing autumn written by Li Bai
The crowds are cold and the oranges and pomeloes are in the cold, the autumn colors are the old sycamores. The crowds are: the smoke from other people’s kitchens. Cold Tangerine: The cold smoke in autumn makes the orange sleeves feel chilly. Two sentences describe the wisps of smoke from people's kitchens, the oranges and pomeloes are dark green, and the sycamores are slightly yellow, presenting a late autumn scene. Tang Dynasty Li Bai's "Autumn Climbing Xie Tiao North Tower in Xuancheng"
"Qiupu Song" The white hair is three thousand feet long, and the fate is as long as the head. I don’t know where to find the autumn frost in the bright mirror. Emei Mountain Moon Song Emei Mountain has a half-round autumn moon, and its shadow is reflected in the water of Pingqiang River. The clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges at night, and I miss you and go down to Yuzhou without seeing you.
I thought about the bright moonlight in front of my bed at night, suspecting it was frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown. Climbing the Xie Tiao North Tower in Xuancheng in autumn is like a picturesque view of the river city, and looking at the clear sky at night on the mountain. There is a bright mirror between two waters, and a rainbow falls over two bridges. The crowds are cold, the orange and pomelo trees are blooming, and the autumn colors are like the old sycamore trees. Who wants to be in the north building? I feel grateful to you in the wind. Xuanzhou Xie Tiao Tower Farewell School Secretary Shu Yun said that if you abandon me, you will not be able to keep the days of yesterday; if you disturb my heart, I will have many worries today. The long winds send autumn geese flying thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building. The Penglai article is built with bones in mind, with small Xie in the middle and clear hair. They are all full of joy, strong and full of joy, and want to go up to the blue sky to see the bright moon. Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more. Raise a cup to relieve sorrow and sorrow. Life is unsatisfactory in this world, and the Ming Dynasty will be ruined. Reward Pei Shiyu. When he feels the rain, he sees the rain. The color of autumn is cold, the wind is clear and the river is refreshing. The aloof man embroidering clothes enjoys the cool and unrestrained Qingxia. I am grateful all my life. Loyalty is not an external reward. Misfortune arises from accumulated resentment, and things end in Kuchuan. There were strong men in Chu State, and Yan Ying swept them away. Shen Bao weeps in Qin Ting, and he weeps blood and will look forward to peace. The humiliation of whipping the corpse has come, Luo Sumang is in the hall. Quite like today's people, cheating thieves and trapping loyalty. Although separated by water, why should taxes return to martingale? Listen to the ape's complaints day and night, and cherish your dreams. The autumn scenery of the house is presented to Lu Sihu. There is no distance near or far. When you go out, you can see the cold mountains. We know each other from afar in the white clouds, waiting for me in Cangwu. I'd like to ask Lu Danhe, how old is Xi Fei? Over the Mid-Autumn Festival, over the water, around the green mountains, traveling thousands of miles. But in the sky mirror, the paintings are clearly similar. I love this from the deep end, and I will cherish it forever. One is a visitor from Cangbo, and ten of them see red autumn leaves. Watching the waves is majestic and dangerous, but looking at the sea is depressing. The road is forced to shine in the west, and the sorrow flows eastwards at the end of the year. Why explore Yu's cave? The general will return to Pengqiu after passing away. Otherwise, you can also take a flat boat on the five lakes.
4. Li Bai's famous lines about the clear autumn breeze
"Autumn Wind Ci"
Author: Li Bai
Original text:
The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright,
The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost again.
When will we know each other when we miss each other? It’s embarrassing to be here this night!
Entering my lovesickness door, you know that my lovesickness is painful.
Long lovesickness brings long memories, but short lovesickness brings endless love.
If I had known that it would be such a troubling thing, how could I have done it? Don't know each other at first.
Translation:
The autumn wind is so sad,
The autumn moon is so bright,
The fallen leaves are falling. They were still separated,
Even the crows perched on the trees were frightened.
I want to meet each other dearly that day,
Now when we are separated, when will we get together again?
In this autumn night with the wind and autumn moon,
I want to When I think about it, I feel really embarrassed.
Walk into my door of lovesickness and know the pain of lovesickness,
Long-term lovesickness is an eternal memory,
Short-term lovesickness is endless,
p>
If I had known that lovesickness would be so entangled in my heart,
It would have been better not to have known each other in the first place.
Appreciation:
This poem was written on a late autumn night. The poet saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the jackdaws perched on the trees that had lost their leaves. At this time, the poet is missing an old lover. This situation makes the poet sad and helpless. This is a typical work of sad autumn. The autumn wind, autumn moon, fallen leaves and jackdaws create a sad atmosphere. The poet's wonderful imagination and perfect portrayal of his own heart make the whole poem sad and moving.
Many people think that the form of this poem is very similar to a short poem, with obvious musical characteristics. Volume 23 of Zhao Yi's "Yi Yu Cong Kao" says: "The 357-character poem originated from Li Taibai: 'The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright...' This is also the origin. Liu Changqing's poem "Farewell to Lu Li" says: 'Xin'an Road, people come and go. Morning tide and late tide, where will I know tomorrow? . The lonely forest and grass are far away, and the flowers are flying in the setting sun. The spring in Jiangnan is far away, and the people in Tingzhou have not returned. '..." points out its origin and relationship with the word "Jiangnan Spring". Deng Shen of the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote a poem based on this tune, called "Autumn Breeze Qing". The Qing Dynasty people also regarded Li Bai's poem as an original tune and included it in the "Qin Ding Ci Pu", saying: "This poem of three to five or seven words was adopted by later generations into the lyrics."
This poem is only The title "Three Five Seven Characters" does not mention the content and theme of the poem. It can be seen that the poet's creative intention was to focus on the formal characteristics of the work, that is, as long as it meets the stylistic requirements of two sentences with three characters, two sentences with five characters, and two sentences with seven characters. It can become a poem. It can be said that the title of the poem already contains a clear connotation of poetic form. The chapter "Poetry Style" in Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry Talk" says: "There are three to five or seven words." The self-note says: "From three words to seven words, Zheng Shiyi of the Sui Dynasty had this poem: "Autumn Wind" Qing Dynasty, the autumn moon is bright. The fallen leaves are gathering and scattered, and the jackdaws are frightened. I know when I will miss each other, but I am embarrassed at this time." Mr. Guo Shaoyu commented: "I don't know what Zheng Shiyi said in Canglang. According to the case, "The Poet Yuchi" does not have the following lines of "Autumn Wind Qing", so it is believed that "Autumn Wind Qing" is found in "Li Taibai Collection".
But Li Bai's poem cannot be regarded as a creative work, because in the early Tang Dynasty, the monk Yijing wrote a poem "In the Western Kingdom of the King's Palace". This poem is called "One Three Five Seven Nine Words" because of its stylistic characteristics. . Li Bai's "Three Five Seven Words" is just a variation of "One Three Five Seven Nine Words". The "One Word" at the beginning and the "Nine Words" at the end are omitted, which is "Three Five Seven Words". Wang Kunwu argued in "The Art of Drinking in the Tang Dynasty" that Yijing's poems are "works of harmony". Li Bai's "Three Five Seven Words" may also be a "harmonious poem" between him and other poets. "Three, five or seven words" are restrictions on the remuneration and the format of the poem. This is a "general title". When creating specific works, people can assign a corresponding poem title based on the content they write.
Even if this poem is not a creative work, it is Li Bai who finally established the "three-three-five-five-seven-seven" format as a unique rhetorical figure and even became a fashionable poetry style. This is not only because he drew on and summarized the experience of many people in applying the three-five-seven-character sentence pattern, but also benefited from his practical experience in using this format flexibly in his own song creation. Therefore, his "Three-Five-Seven Phrase" can express The artistic charm of "the mournful sound accelerates the festival, and is as sad as the complicated strings" (Volume 8 of "Poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties"). 5. Autumn poems written by Li Bai
Jingmen in Autumn
The frost has fallen on the Jingmen River and the trees are empty, and the canvas sails are intact and hung in the autumn wind.
This trip is not for the sake of perch, but for the sake of the famous mountains.

The Autumn Wind does not treat others and arrives at Luoyang City first.
Translation: But Qiufeng refused to wait and went to Luoyang City first.
From: Zhang Shuo of the Tang Dynasty, "The Late Shu Dao"
The guest's heart competes with the sun and the moon, and the journey of travel is expected.
The autumn wind does not treat others, and arrives at Luoyang City first.
Translation: When I travel abroad, I try to act as quickly as possible, as if I am competing for the same time, and my itinerary is planned in advance. But Qiufeng refused to wait, and went to Luoyang City first.
Extended information:
This poem was written by Zhang Shuo when he was on an envoy to Xichuan during his tenure as the school secretary. Although there are only twenty characters, it can be seen that he wrote poetry. skills and talents. A person who accepts a mission to work in a distant place always cherishes his attachment to his relatives. As soon as he reaches the destination, he counts the date of return with his fingers. This feeling is natural.
But Zhang said that it is not easy to "translate this secluded mood into poetry" and compress it into two sentences. "The guest's heart competes with the sun and the moon, and the travel time is expected." "The guest's heart" is the heart of the foreign traveler. "The guest's heart competes with the sun and the moon", which is like a battle for time. The word "struggle" is really well written, and it fully expresses the mood of a wanderer in this position.
"The expected journey of travel" is the reason why Shen said that he is "fighting for the sun and the moon". There is a time limit for government affairs, so preparations and plans must be made in advance, so it is called "preparation". The ten words describe the objective situation that the poet faced at that time, as well as his inner planning and considerations. They are concise and clear, and the technique is very clever.
These ten words are the foreshadowing of what follows. Originally, Shu's schedule was very tight, but the poet was more eager to return. He would strive to return to Luoyang on time. He is from Luoyang and has a family in Luoyang. He is expected to return and reunite with his family.
The following text suddenly came to a big turning point: "The autumn wind will not wait for you, but it will come to Luoyang City first." Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and the original hope of returning to Luoyang before autumn was dashed. The wanderer's heart is of course filled with despair. However, the poet deliberately concealed human feelings, bypassed it, and complained about the autumn wind: This autumn wind is also ruthless. It refused to wait for me and went back to Luoyang City first.
The beauty of this stroke is that it avoids the shortcomings of being straightforward and tasteless, and describes the personified autumn wind as a "merciless autumn wind". The autumn wind has arrived first and will naturally cause a lot of troubles. You can imagine that as soon as the autumn wind arrives in Luoyang, your relatives will definitely be looking forward to it; not to mention the difficulty of not being able to keep the promise. A touch of a stroke, a lasting and profound feeling.
Here, is the poet complaining about the autumn wind, or is he expressing his inner troubles? There is no explicit statement in the poem, which is quite difficult to interpret, but it is conceivable that the poet was indeed surprised or a little dissatisfied with the sudden change of the situation, but he used "implicit" language.
