Poetry is expensive in subtlety, because of various complex reasons, the poet is inconvenient to express his inner feelings directly, so he uses metaphors, symbols and other techniques, and with the help of natural scenery, the object allegorically expresses a sadness and resentment.
For example, a moment in Su Shi's "Spring Supper" is worth thousands of gold, which is easy to misinterpret as the love of men and women; and the thousand purple and thousand red in Zhu Xi's "Spring Day" are always spring, and are often considered to be works of scenery, in fact, the authors are far-reaching. The following two wonderful poems of Li Bai are often mistaken for works of scenery, but in fact they contain deep meaning.
Yokogawa word (part 1)
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Yokogawa's former official greeted yu dong and pointed to HaiYunsheng.
Why does Lang want to cross now? Such a storm is not feasible!
Li Bai's Hengjiang words are popular poems, but unfortunately, everyone has always regarded it as a group of landscape poems, praising it for depicting a picture of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, but in fact, behind it hides a thrilling experience, and even lyrics the ups and downs of his life, and even between the lines, it pins on the unspeakable pain in the poet's soul.
Hengjiang Ci is a work of Li Bai during the Tianbao period, written when the poet returned from a trip to Youzhou and went south to Xuancheng. At that time, An Lushan was preparing to launch a rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty was about to be in a great disaster. Li Bai was worried and in a painful mood, and he had mixed feelings and was shocking, but he was really helpless.
The Yangtze River, from west to east, to the section from Wuhu to Jinling, suddenly became from south to north, straddling the Wutou Chuwei area. The crossing of the Yangtze River is on the west bank of this section of the Yangtze River, and NiuzhuJi is on its east bank. This is originally a scenic spot in the shape of a country, and it is also a key point for north-south travel, as well as famous historical monuments, so the rioters pass by here and will give poetry and appreciation.
But when Li Bai passed through here, shortly after returning from a trip to Youzhou, he was terrified and in a bad mood, just in time for the tide of the sea and the clouds and fog. The sinister Hengjiang River is the symbol of Li Bai's life experience and thoughts and feelings. The poet grasps the wind and waves of the Hengjiang River, and the big book is special and repeated, which is not only describing nature, but also conveying his own sad state of mind.
Li Bai came to the inn, and because of the great name of The Poetry Immortal, even the small officials in the remote places also admired him very much. He not only greeted him warmly, but also told Li Bai that the wind and waves ahead were fierce and that he should not easily cross the river.
The author seems to be very stingy with pen and ink, and the scene that can be seen in front of him is nothing more than "Haiyunsheng". However, on the surface of the river, there are thunderous clouds in the sea, which has vividly depicted the atmosphere of danger, which can be described as small and big.
At the same time, the author also uses the words of the Jin officials to try their best to dissuade them, revealing the dangers of the storms on the river, and the speaker is extremely experienced, and he said that it is "not feasible" and should be without reason. And from the tone of his "why" tone, it can be seen that the risk is extremely great.
Li Bai's poem is not only wonderful in using folk songs into poetry, but also in the foreground and spoken language, showing the political situation at that time, conveying the poet's political premonition, and he is keenly aware that a major upheaval is coming. Sure enough, three years later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
Yokogawa Word (Part 2)
The wind and fog of the moon halo day cannot be opened, and the sea whales are back to the east.
The shock waves moved together in three mountains, and gongwu crossed the river to return.
The poem further writes about the turbulent situation at the time, as well as the political premonitions in the heart. The old proverb clouds, the moon halo and the wind, the foundation and the rain. Yin and yang are angry and windy, and chaos is fog. Therefore, the first sentence is ostensibly describing the natural landscape of the ferry, but in fact it is about the chaotic situation at the end of Tianbao.
The second sentence clearly states that the waves on the Hengjiang River are rough, as if the whales in the sea are churning, forcing the waters to flow backwards, but in fact it euphemistically expresses that An Lushan is about to launch a rebellion.
The third sentence also describes the fierce flame of An Lushan's rebellion. The word "shock wave" refers to rebellion; "three mountains" refers to the meaning of three mountains and five mountains. Therefore, the phrase "shock wave" is actually a prediction that after the rebellion, the entire land of the Tang Dynasty will be shaking.
Since the situation is about to come to this point, and you are powerless to return to heaven, why risk politics? It is better to learn the Tao Qian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, retire to the countryside, and be leisurely and happy. Therefore, the last sentence "GongWu crossed the river to return", using Lefu folk songs into sentences, and came up with new ideas. The poem was indeed extraordinary, and between three words and two words, it was thought-provoking and expounded the strong feelings in the heart.
