Bai Juyi had a poetry name when he was a teenager, and when he was young, he wandered for a long time, and in his later years he was degraded to Jiangzhou, which can be said to have a very rich experience, and it is these rich experiences that have made his poetry and left many popular masterpieces for future generations.
Among Bai Juyi's poems, the most talked about is the narrative long poem "Long Hate Song".
"Long Hate Song" was written in the first year of the Yuan And Yuan, when Bai Juyi was serving as a lieutenant of Zhou Zhi County. It describes the love story of Emperor Ming of Tang and Concubine Yang.
"Long Hate Song" is the song "Long Hate", "Long Hate" is the theme of the poem, the focus of the story, and also a heart-touching seed buried in the poem. And what to "hate" and why "long hate", the poet does not directly lay out and write it out, but through his poetic story, it is displayed to the reader layer by layer, so that people can speculate, taste, and feel it.
"In heaven wish to be likened to a winged bird, in the earth wish to be a branch." To a certain extent, this poem is detached from the original appearance of history, and is a "love poem" full of sentimentalism based on the aria of Li Yang's love.
In that era, no one sympathized with Yang Guifei, and no one cared about his thoughts. But Bai Juyi, he noticed, was unfair to her in that patriarchal society where men were superior to women: the fall of the Tang Dynasty was not her fault.
In "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Kukai has such a line: Thirty years later, you are still the only one who cares about the noble concubine.
With deep sympathy for the misfortune of beauty, heavy sentimentality for the destruction of beauty. Bai Juyi wrote "Long Hate Song".
This poem is swaying, vivid and flowing, and extremely artistic. The reason why it is so touching is because Bai Ju is easy to do for love, not for things. This love comes from his early personal experience.
Bai Juyi fell in love with the young girl Xiangling in his early years, and although he broke up with him bitterly, he still did not forget Xiangling when composing "Long Hate Song", and wrote poems such as "Feelings", "Sending Xiangling", "Parting from Life", "Parting from Divergence".
"Whoever gave it to me in the past, chan juanzi in the east." The person who gave the shoes was the neighbor sister of her hometown, a beautiful girl who looked like a heavenly immortal, and she was Bai Juyi's first love "Xiang Ling", who had been obsessed with her all her life. Xiangling is a neighbor of Bai Juyi's hometown, 20 to 27 years old Bai Juyi lives in Fuli, Xiangling is Bai Juyi's neighbor at the time of Fuli.
The 15-year-old Xiang Ling "Lou Ting Fifteen Victories Heavenly Immortal", looks like a heavenly immortal, and loves to sing, Bai Juyi often indulges in xiang linger's singing, lingering. Xiangling is beautiful and tender like water. In Bai Juyi's mind, it lingered and was unforgettable. The two had a heart-to-heart relationship but had to be separated.
Bai Juyi and Xiang Ling have experienced an unforgettable relationship, and what he is reluctant to lose is not a pair of worthless shoes, but a long love between the two.
Bai Juyi's love is to let the years change and never change, even if the front is blocked by mountains and rivers, it will not change that persistence and watchfulness. Even if the road of search is full of thorns, he is not willing to give up every glimmer of hope. Even if the moving steps are tired, they still have a deep affection for him.
