When Li Bai was young, he was erudite and talented, and he had the ambition of Qingyun even more. He left his hometown at the age of 18 and traveled to the famous mountains and rivers of his motherland, and also made many close friends. Later, the poet felt a little tired of running around, so he hoped to develop further on the road.
However, Taibai is different, and there is an endless stream of moves to enter Beijing to catch the examination, but he does not want to be with it, and he is not willing to study hard to take the exam and participate in the scientific examination. Li Bai had a unique path, he hoped to find some Bole who could recommend the sages, let him plug in the wings of the straight up to Qingyun, fly high, and thus realize the ambition of assisting the king and governing the country.
However, before Li Bai met He Zhizhang, this idea was indeed very unrealistic. He kept sending dry psalms to the high-ranking officials and nobles, but he always fell into the sea. But even so, he was not willing to take the exam.
Idle and bored, the poet went to Zhongnan Mountain to live for a while. The following shares that Li Bai met a high priest by chance, recited a famous poem, and his expression was soaring and intoxicating.
Descend to the south mountain to pass the Huosi Mountain people to put wine
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Twilight descends from the Bishan Mountain, and the mountain and the moon return with the people.
But the path of the way is concerned, and the sky is green and green.
Carrying with the Tian family, the child opened the thorns.
Green bamboo into the path, green lotus whisks clothes.
Talk and drink together.
Long songs chant pine wind, song exhausted river stars.
I was drunk and happy, and I forgot about the opportunity.
The poet felt a little lonely one day on the Zhongnan Mountain, so he walked casually along the mountain path. At that time, Wang Wei had not yet lived here, and Li Bai was also unknown, so these two famous poets of the Tang Dynasty did not have the opportunity to drink and talk together in Zhongnan Mountain.
The first four sentences depict the scene seen on the way, and in the evening, Taibai slowly walks forward in the moonlight. The moon is pure and soft, and it has always been silently accompanied by the poet. Taibai came to the bottom of the mountain, and then looked back at the road he had passed, only to see a touch of verdant mountain color, standing in the twilight sky.
The poet liked to describe the moonlight, and in many of his works, there was an image of the moon. Maybe it's because it's a companion in solitude, or maybe it's because it fills the poet with reverie. The poet was meditating, when suddenly from not far from the opposite side, came an old man dressed in simple clothes, and under the hazy moonlight, he looked energetic.
The poet was a man of temperament, and he was feeling bored, so he did not hesitate to go forward to inquire, and only then did he learn that the old man was a local hermit who had lived in the Zhongnan Mountain for many years.
Li Bai also introduced himself, and the old man carefully looked at the offspring and immediately liked his bold personality. So how did Li Bai let the old man invite him to drink between three words and two words? Maybe it's the unique temperament of the poetry fairy plus the wine fairy!
Taibai and Huosishan walked hand in hand to a farmhouse, and the child opened the firewood door and came out to greet him. In the courtyard, the green bamboo road and the grass are dressed, which looks quiet and pleasant. The two men rested and laughed, raised a glass of wine, drank heavily, and sang long songs, and they enjoyed the most simple pleasures of the world until the river stars were sparse.
The six poems in the middle appear to be very warm, and the poems are unrestrained, as if they are walking relatives or visiting neighbors' houses, and they do not regard themselves as outsiders at all.
The old man probably hadn't drunk it so much for a long time, and he seemed to regard the poet as his own relative. This familiar scene is reminiscent of Meng Haoran's famous work "Passing the Old Man Zhuang", but Li Bai interprets it more romantically.
Eat and drink enough, the sky is not early, a sentence "song exhausted the river stars", conveying the poet's mood of love. Although the poet has visited many places and met many celebrities since he traveled to The River, this night will definitely make him remember it deeply.
The simple hut of the farmhouse, the simple and generous character of the old man, even the coarse tea and light rice, the turbid wine and pickles, Shi Xian also felt intoxicated, completely forgetting the honor and disgrace of gain and loss.
Li Bai's poem is full of leisure and leisure, the author's mood is idyllic, the pen and ink are clear, but it is touching. Poets visit friends on the night of the moon, send love to Tian's family, drunkenly sing songs, and forget the opportunity, all hoping to get rid of the bitter mood.
Although Li Bai later finally became the imperial poet by the emperor's side, it seemed that Qingyun was straight up, but in fact, he did not feel the slightest happiness in his heart. Even if Shi Xian enjoyed the personal hospitality of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, his mind must have been constantly imagining the happy scene of himself and Lao Weng raising a glass and drinking together!
