In ancient mainland China, there were many people who were known as talents, but there were not many people who were known as "talented poets", of which the Tang Dynasty poet Qian Qi was one of them. He was active in the Calendar Year, and was recognized as the crown of the "Ten Talents of the Great Calendar", his poetry was fresh, rational and light, and he was devoted to Buddhism and Zen, and he had a hidden feeling, which was unparalleled in the poetry circle at that time. Today, we will enjoy the ten famous works of the Tang Dynasty poet Qian Qi, experience the profound meaning behind their words, and believe that you will have some understanding.
Qian Qi was active in the turn of Sheng and Tang Dynasties, and his poetry achievements were very high, it is said that there was such a sentence at that time, "Before there were Shen and Song, after there was Money, Lang", and some people compared his poems with Liu Changqing, which shows that his poetry art is extremely not simple. It is worth mentioning that in the Tang Dynasty, there are two poems that have been praised, one is Zu Yong's "Looking at Yu Xue in the South", and the other is Qian Qi's "Xiangling Drum Ser", which is exquisite in poetry and is revered as the first of the "Ten Talents of the Great Calendar", which is by no means a random fabrication.
In his life of poetry creation, it can be divided into three stages, one is his period of seeking and wandering, when most of the poems take sighs and indignation as the theme, refining words and sentences, writing clearly, the realm is empty, and the poetic style is gradually mature. The second period was after his entry into the army, when his life and thoughts changed significantly, and his poetry was also the pinnacle of his life. The poems of this period cared for the people, showed the intention of nostalgia for the landscape, exquisite and exquisite, washed and indifferent, giving people a pleasant mood, and also had Buddhist Zen and hidden thoughts and emotions, which is the most valuable poem.
The third stage is that after his official fortunes and prosperity, there has been a significant change in social status, and his poetry has also undergone significant changes. The content is mainly based on singing and giving answers, lingering in the landscape, and singing metaphors, which can reflect the ideological tendencies of poets during the calendar year, and can also reflect the changes in the poet's thinking under his life experience. In short, the first period is the period when the poetic style is laid, the second period is the period with the highest artistic value, and the third period is the emotional tendency of the poets in the great calendar years, and the poetry is otherworldly, fresh and distant.
Among Qian Qi's surviving works, Taige poetry has to be mentioned, and he is one of the most important poets of Taige poetry. This kind of poem is rich in content and diverse in subject matter, including social content, reflecting the warmth and coldness of human feelings. To social reality, Qian Qi also responded in the poem, and he composed a lamenting song of the times, with a very specific sense of the times.
He experienced the catastrophe of the "Anshi Chaos", and the cruel reality allowed him to reflect the ups and downs and vicissitudes of his life, so his sentiments were lyrical and ideological, but from the emotional point of view, the sense of personalness and the true feelings were revealed, which was the particularity of the times. Farewell songs and poems are quite influential, because of the particularity of his social status and poetic status, his friends are numerous, and he is talented, and each poem reflects the real and touching feelings of Qian Qi, and according to different starting points, you can also feel the different emotions and thoughts of the poet.
His landscape idylls are really beautiful, and the artistic conception in the poems also represents the unified emotions of poets in the times. After experiencing wars and chaos, after the pacification, their careers were bumpy, social turmoil, and political turmoil affected their lives, and in the case of their dreams being shattered again and again, they hoped to return to the mountains and forests and live a life without controversy with the world, and their hidden thoughts were extremely strong. Qian Qi's landscape idyll is very beautiful, to taste his aesthetic, the poem does not mix with disturbing colors, experience with the heart, feel the beauty of nature, this is the biggest charm of his landscape idyll.
There are also some war-torn realistic poems, the suffering of society and people's livelihood, as well as the life suffering of the people after the war, which is also reflected in Qian Qi's poems, and its ideological value is very high, showing the super high thoughts of poets, but there are relatively few such theme poems. He also wrote some poems on the side of the border, because the Tang Dynasty border war was constant, the poet sent people to join the army, enthusiastically praised the patriotism and heroism of the Tang people, and expressed the heroic ambition of killing the enemy and serving the country.
