Poetry hunting every day
Pay attention to the reading dogs
Speaking of "poetry immortal" Li Bai, many people have the impression of a person who can write a thousand poems, who can wield swords and fight righteousness, as well as good wine, such as life, and a wide range of friends, walking all over the country is almost traveling to one place to drink local wine, making friends with local literati Haojie, and writing gorgeous poems! For example, the famous "Gift to Wang Lun" is behind such a story of traveling and making friends, drinking and composing poetry!
In fact, the real Li Bai is not as free as in the poem. Li Bai's greatest ideal in life is to enter politics and show what he has learned. But it is a pity that Li Bai's two political careers in his life have come to a tragic end.
The first time he was recommended by He Zhizhang to be named Hanlin by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he was actually just treated as a servant. Tang Xuanzong only wanted his poetry, and finally released Li Baijin. The second time was after the Anshi Rebellion, he entered the Yongwang shogunate, but the Yongwang army was defeated, and Li Bai was also implicated and exiled to Yelang! Political ideals were not realized until their deaths.
Li Bai's ideals are expressed in many of his poems, such as the following "Yongwang East Tour Song", which he composed when he was in the Yongwang shogunate. The words in the poem are extremely assertive:
"
YongwangDong Tour Song Eleven · Its Eleven
Don Lee Bai
Try to borrow the king's jade horse whip,
Commanding the Rong Yu to sit in the Qiong Feast.
The south wind swept away the dust,
West into Chang'an to Nichiren.
"
"Yongwang East Tour Song" is a group of eleven poems composed by Li Bai in the Yongwang shogunate, the eleventh of which is above. This poem is full of ambition, which can be described as Li Bai's most confident poem, as if he can talk and laugh and calm the world!
The opening sentence of this poem is extremely arrogant: "Try to borrow the king's jade horse whip", the words are amazing, and even borrow his horse whip from the "king", the horse whip is like military power, which is equivalent to directly asking the Yong King for military power! Mao Sui introduced himself, did not give in, how heroic. And what is the use of military power? "Commanding the Rong Yu to Sit in the Feast": Just about to strategize between feasts and drinks, he will win a thousand miles! Crazy!
Not only to win a thousand miles, but also to "sweep away the dust and quiet", the determination to calm the world can be seen! Reviving the country and unifying the sea are precisely the ideal ambitions that Li Baiyi learned in his lifetime. And after the pacification of the world: "west into Chang'an to the Japanese side" has the meaning of triumphant song and return, and "day" represents the emperor, a "day side" expresses the meaning of success and retirement, but also echoes the meaning of the first sentence of "trial borrowing", military power borrowed, used and returned!
From this poem, it can be seen that in the context of the Anshi Chaos, Li Bai deeply cherished a patriotic heart and hoped to realize his political ideal of stabilizing the country. He did not hesitate to portray himself as a heroic figure who was in the limelight, and he introduced himself as well-intentioned!
Unfortunately, The Yong King Li Xuan had ulterior motives and was eventually killed for plotting against him, and Li Bai was almost killed because he had been an aide to the Yong King and wrote poems for the Yong King. Fortunately, Li Bai's friend interceded for him and eventually exiled YeLang!
