The protagonist to be played today is the most dazzling presence in the poetry of the Tang Dynasty.
He is the "immortal of wine", the "proud ranger", the "grandiose guest", and the embodiment of poetry.
Let's walk into the "Poetry Immortal" together - Li Bai's legendary life~
Li Bai is complicated.
No label can well summarize his life, and even the word "immortal" is a narrow end.
Li Bai's body has the essence of many ancient doctrines:
He has a chivalrous spirit, "from the beginning of ten thousand bravery, with the majestic wind of this life", this is an unrestrained, fearless jianghu righteous man;
He has a backbone, "An can destroy the eyebrows and bend the waist of the magnates, so that I can not be happy", this is a Confucian with a remarkable posture and a proud heart;
He has a fairy spirit, "raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and make three people to the shadow", which is a Taoist with no boundaries and a free pace;
He has arrogance, "Dapeng rises with the same wind one day, and rises to ninety thousand miles", which is a warrior who is not willing to bend to the magnate.
The reason why Li Bai's body can gather so many distinctive characteristics is inseparable from a good mentality.
No matter what kind of arrangement he faced with fate, he never gave up on himself and actively coped.
"Yang Tian laughed and went out, my generation is a basil person."
In that year, Li Bai, who was already forty-two years old, finally waited for the edict of Tang Xuanzong to summon him to Beijing on the recommendation of his friends.
He happily returned home, said goodbye to his family, and wrote this stirring verse.
A good mentality has achieved Li Bai's unique self-confidence, no matter how many times he has been rejected and how many times he has been disappointed, he will not easily deny himself.
He firmly believes that he is a piece of gold, and no matter how deep it is hidden, it will shine.
It is also such a good mentality that gives him the courage to go forward.
You know, in order to wait for this day, Li Bai has experienced too many setbacks.
Li Bai was born into a wealthy family, "five years old reciting the Liu family, ten years old guan bai jia", "fifteen guan qi books, as the endowment is similar".
As intelligent as Li Bai, after completing his studies, he set himself the goal of "Qi Tianxia", hoping to "finally settle with Ansheji." ”
At that time, poetry was in the ascendant, and the talented Li Bai naturally chose this path.
Over the age of twenty, Li Bai embarked on a journey, while visiting the scenery of the motherland and watching the magnificent mountains and rivers, while making friends and meeting the powerful, hoping to be recommended.
However, traveling broadens his horizons and increases his freedom, which makes him more disdainful of bowing down to the powerful and constrained by the hierarchy.
In his cover letter, he would write like this:
"If you are mighty, and if you are angry, and you are not allowed to go down to the door, you will go long, and Bai will walk on his knees in front, and then he will bow down, and then he will go west into the Qin Sea, and he will look at the national style, and he will forever resign as a prince, and the yellow crane will lift up."
The gate of the Prince of He, can not play the long sword? ”
If you are not good to me, I will be far away from you, and anyway, under the door of other princes, you can also turn around!
Although at this time, Li Bai was thirty years old, but still carried the cuteness of the newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger.
I can praise you, but I don't belittle and deny myself because of it.
Li Bai's wind and bones have been liked by many people, allowing him to have a lot of "fans", after all, that bloody verse is really resonant.
But such blunt words, in the eyes of others, are arrogant to the extreme.
Therefore, even if there are poets who are famous, few people are willing to recommend them, some people feel that Li Bai has such a personality and is not suitable for the official field, and some people feel that such a talent and entering the career path must be a threat.
In this way, year after year, until more than forty years, Li Bai waited for the opportunity.
But the faltering of the years has not worn away Li Bai's edges and corners, he is still the "teenager" who is full of confidence and full of vigor, which is the best gift left by mentality to Li Bai.
"Set up the Golden Ruan Hall, go in and out of the Hanlin, ask about the affairs of the country, and submerge the grass and edicts, and no one knows."
Li Bai stood at the peak of his life and was personally greeted by the emperor, "giving food to the Seven Treasures Bed, and the imperial hand to spice soup to eat."
Wilson once said, "Be confident and then give it your all." With this idea, nine times out of ten anything can succeed. ”
Attitude determines state.
Your mindset towards life determines your posture in life.
The better the mentality, the more courageous it is to move forward, even if the road encounters obstacles, you can firmly believe in yourself, have no distractions, and sing all the way.
"Long winds and waves will sometimes hang directly on the clouds and sails to the sea."
After entering Beijing for three years, Li Bai finally understood the gap between dreams and reality, and when he was forced to leave Beijing without reward, he wrote "Difficult to Walk", lamenting the ups and downs of the road of life and the difficulties of the road of career.
But he sighed, and the good attitude slipped out again, and the pen was sharp, writing this inspiring verse.
In fact, before that, Li Bai had been depressed for a long time, and the court was not as clear and open-minded as he thought, and could not accept any good words with an open attitude.
Li Bai, who was treated differently by Tang Xuanzong, had already become the target of everyone before he had even begun.
The slander that was also windless made Li Bai confused in his heart, and the step by step was squeezed out, leaving Li Bai to tie his hands and feet.
Li Bai, who was trapped between the temples, felt deeply powerless.
He sent affection to Du Kang for relief, and on the other hand, he had hope for the emperor's attention.
However, "the knife cut off the water more flowing, the toast to dispel the sorrow is more sorrowful", the wine did not eliminate the sorrow, but let him think of the spring, wrote the famous magnificent work - "QingPing Tone",
It also made him more careless, making things like "Lux taking off his boots" and "grinding noble concubines".
In the end, Tang Xuanzong chose to "give gold back" and attributed Li Bai to the rivers and lakes of poetry and the great mountains and rivers.
After that, Li Bai began to roam the life again, with poetry books in one hand and scenery in the other.
But he did not forget his ambition because of this failure, he also wanted to do something for Cangsheng, and hoped to be reused by the imperial court.
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
At this time, Li Bai was living in seclusion in the Lushan area. King Yong sent Wei Zichun to persuade Li Bai, and after some free talk, Li Bai decided to go out of the mountain.
"Returning to the fashion of wearing a golden seal, Mo Xuesu Qin did not get off the plane."
With the ambition of counterinsurgency, Li Bai thought that he would be able to spread his wings and fly high, so that his talents could be used, but he did not want to fall into a greater whirlpool of fate.
The Yongwang invited Li Bai only to borrow Li Bai's fame, so under the Yongwang, Li Bai only had time to write a few poems.
King Yong led to the conquest without authorization, and Li Bai was imprisoned for the crime of rebellion.
Under the mediation of many friends, Li Bai was still exiled to Yelang.
However, the ruin of fame and the destruction of ambition did not crush Li Bai, and he could also write such verses as "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed through the ten thousand heavy mountains."
Life is like an endless ocean, sometimes calm as a mirror, sometimes with turbulent waves.
People with a good mentality will not trap themselves in the waves in front of them, they believe that as long as they continue to work hard and their wishes are not extinguished, things will turn around.
Life is a long road, learn to look at the distance, know how to retain hope, so as not to give up on life.
"Life needs to be full of joy, don't let the golden bottle empty to the moon."
Drunk or not drunk, Li Bai has written many such poems, each of which can hit our hearts.
Writing such a poem is all due to Li Bai's detached and open-minded attitude towards life.
He has always been a person who knows how to please himself, and he will follow his inner voice and do what he wants to do.
Therefore, his life is free everywhere, making people envious and can't help but want to get closer.
He treats friends, never looks at his identity, only asks the truth, and the friends he identifies as are not willing to live or die.
Wu Guide was a traveling companion of Li Bai when he was out of Shu, when they arrived at Dongting Lake, Wu Guide unfortunately fell ill and died, Li Bai was extremely distressed, lying on his body for a long time, and then begged someone to temporarily bury Wu Guide on the lakeside.
A few years later, Li Bai came to Dongting Lake again to see Wu Guide.
Opening the grave and seeing that Wu Guide's body was still alive, he cried and used his sword to remove the tendons and flesh, washed the bones, and then wrapped them in a white cloth, and hiked to Jiangxia for formal burial.
This is a very pious burial method, and Li Bai's affection for his friends can be seen.
He can afford to put down money, "a thousand gold scattered", not only in poetry.
As stated in the "History of Pei Chang of Shang'an Prefecture":
"In the past, when you traveled to Weiyang in the east, within a year, more than 300,000 yuan of gold were scattered, and there were fallen sons, and all of them were saved." This is the light wealth of white. ”
When he was wandering around Yangzhou City, Li Bai saw the fallen students, and he would give money to receive help, and in less than a year, he scattered more than 300,000 gold.
So that in the future, he also has to rely on friends to help him live.
Although his career ideals are not smooth, this does not prevent him from loving the mountains and the water and the world.
Therefore, in his poems, those scenes have a life, and in this dynasty, it is also a divine stroke that makes people sigh.
Even death, he left a romantic story of "drunken chasing the moon":
At night, Li Bai put on a splendid costume, stepped on the moonlight, came to a flat boat by the river, raised his wine glass again, and invited Mingyue to drink together.
Drinking and drinking, through the drunken eyes, seeing the bright moon in the water, he got up to catch it, and did not want to fall into the river...
Roland said: "Everyone has their own ideal paradise, have their own world that they are happy to enjoy, and pursue it in the direction they are willing to pursue, which is the path of your life, without complaining about the environment, and without envying others." ”
In the face of the many obstacles set by fate, Li Bai did not fall into the sympathetic eyes of others, nor did he disappear into the voice of criticism.
He listened to his inner voice, understood the meaning of his life, and knew the value of his life.
Because of this, Li Bai used his boldness in this bumpy life to let us see a different Tang Dynasty, and he used his romance to create a different fairy tale for us.
This is the freedom that belongs to Li Bai, so that we are still fascinated by it after a thousand years.
A person who knows how to please himself is a person who can settle his soul.
Such a person will treat himself with a tolerant attitude and look at the world with an appreciative eye.
In such a life, even if you are in the swamp, you can see the brilliance of the bright moon, the brilliant stars, and the hope of the future.
In this life, there are uphill and downhill, thorns and flowers.
A good attitude allows us to see the good side and not give up any possibility of life.
As the thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson put it: "A change of attitude can change lives." No external force can rule you. ”
In this life of travel, having a good attitude will please yourself, can firmly believe in yourself, and even if you encounter more setbacks, you can have hope.
In this way, you can be more open-minded about all kinds of life, do not give up on yourself, and do not easily complain about life.
Click "watching", may we have the best attitude, live a good state, and harvest a sense of happiness from the depths of our hearts.
