In the first year of Tianbao (742), Li Bai came to the capital Chang'an by edict, originally thinking that he could make a difference and realize his ideals in life, after all, Li Bai not only had talent, but also had lofty ambitions; when he was a teenager, he was determined to make a career, and when he had the opportunity to go to Chang'an, he was naturally very happy and fully prepared, and he also wrote a poem "Nanling Bei Children Enter Beijing", so that Ming Zhi hoped to make a difference; this poem was written with great momentum, especially the last two sentences: "Laughing out of the sky and going out, my generation is a basil person." "It's for the world.
After Li Bai arrived in the capital Chang'an, he was not actually used seriously, and although Tang Xuanzong admired his talent, he did not put him in a suitable position, but let him write poetry. Li Bai's personality was unwilling, but forced to do so, he still wrote several poems praising Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong was very satisfied after reading it, and publicly praised Li Bai and gave him gold jewelry, the purpose of which was to keep Li Bai and let him write poetry around him wholeheartedly.
In the early days, Tang Xuanzong was still relatively effective and a good emperor, but in the later period, it was obvious that due to Yang Guifei's reasons, he listened to some rumors, and later for this reason, the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. Li Bai was reluctant to write poetry, after all, he did not want to write poetry, and urgently needed a suitable position, only then could he make a difference, but Tang Xuanzong did not arrange it that way. Li Bai himself has a different personality and is upright, so he made a few complaints, plus he was unwilling to join the crowd with others, so he was ostracized by others.
Li Bai lived in Chang'an for only one year, during which time he was unwilling to join the magnates due to the gap between ideals and reality, coupled with a few complaints. At that time, many powerful people began to exclude Li Bai and provoke right and wrong in front of Tang Xuanzong, and in a fit of anger, Tang Xuanzong took back the gold given to Li Bai, and put down his harsh words and never used Li Bai, which was equivalent to telling Li Bai that no matter how talented you are, you will never be reused. After Li Bai gave the gold back, he was disappointed and had to choose to leave Chang'an.
Although Li Bai was not reused, and left Chang'an with helplessness and loss, but still maintained the unique style of the literati, in the subsequent poems, Li Bai created with a more tenacious character, in this poem "Song of the King of Linjiang", it is through his own situation, in order to tell the world that although he is very sad, he is still strong, and this poem is also very imposing.
Dongting white wave wood leaves are thin, and Yan Hong began to fly into Wu (yun).
Wu Yunhan, Yan Hong bitter.
The wind trumpet sand xiao xiangpu, the festival of sorrow and autumn tears like rain.
Day and day, the heart of the day, illuminated can be the Lord.
The strong man is angry and the hero is born.
Ander leaned on the Heavenly Sword and crossed the sea to behead the whale.
Li Bai has great talent, in addition to being expressed in literature, in fact, it is also excellent in other aspects, but it is not reused, after leaving Chang'an, so it plays everywhere; every day in addition to writing poetry, then it is drinking, and the style of this poem, in fact, there is a little bit of sadness, but it also highlights the poet's tenacious character, as well as the pride in the bones, the opening chapter is to write about the different autumn beauty of Dongting Lake, and after autumn, the white waves of Dongting Lake are continuous, and the leaves on the surrounding trees are sparse, The wild geese in the north began to fly to Wudi for the winter.
Wu Di's is actually very cold, Wu Yun is cold, and Hongyan is crying, telling about sorrow. The north wind whistled, and Hongyan stayed on the beach of Xiaoxiang overnight, and Wang Jieshi was already in tears at this time due to the tragic autumn. Daytime in the heart of heaven not only illuminated the universe, but also illuminated my heart of loyalty. It's just that the strong man is sad and indignant, and the majestic wind is suddenly born. From these few sentences, it can be seen that Li Bai still has some sadness, and at the same time wrote a poem to tell Tang Xuanzong that he had a loyal heart, but he was framed by others and had no choice but to leave Chang'an.
The last sentence is shocking, once again reflecting Li Bai's lofty life ambitions, "Ande leans on the heavenly sword and crosses the sea to behead the whale." "How can you hold the Heavenly Sword in your hand and cut off the whale across the sea?" Although he was ostracized and had to stay away from Chang'an, after leaving, Li Bai still held out a glimmer of hope, but it was obvious that Tang Xuanzong had long since stopped reusing it, which had become the biggest regret in Li Bai's life.
Li Bai's poems are very imposing, and this "Song of the King of Linjiang Festival", from the first sentence to the last sentence, has a unique charm and is also imposing. Although he is very unsatisfactory in life, between ideals and reality, Li Bai still maintains a tenacious character and still hopes to make a difference, which is why his works are more attractive.
