The poetry immortal Li Bai has written countless poems in his life and has infinite talent, but people always die, and the poetry immortals are no exception.
Li Bai wrote a poem at the end of his life, which can be counted as a review of his life and a lament for his encounters.
The so-called "people will die and their words will be good, and birds will die and their songs will also mourn", so what kind of poems did the poet Li Bai composed before his death?
Today we will talk about the last poem written by Li Bai in his life, "The Song of the Road" (a "Dying Song").
Li Bai died in the first year of the Tang Dynasty Zongbao Ying, that is, in this year Li Bai composed the "Linlu Song": "Dapeng Fei Xi Zhen Eight Descendants, Zhongtian destroyed the power is not good." The afterglow stirred the world, and You Fusang hung on the left side. Posterity got this, Jonny died who was out of the nose! ”
The translation of this poem roughly means: Dapeng spreads its wings and vibrates in all directions, and flies to the middle of the heavens and is destroyed by exhaustion. Although destroyed, the rest of the wind can still stir up the world, swimming in Fusang and hanging on the left wing. Although Dapeng's power is not good, future generations can still spread the deeds of Dapeng after receiving this wind, but without Confucius in the world, who can understand me and cry for my torment?
Li Bai was bold and dashing in his life, and as a representative of the poets of the Tang Dynasty, this immortal in the poem can be called a strange man. But it is such a figure, at the end of his life, but he issued a lament that "the middle heavens are destroying the power", why is this?
Throughout Li Bai's life, he was talented and well-known when he was a teenager, and when he became an adult, he was full of ambition, both literary and martial, and he was proud and dignified, and in his prime, he traveled all over the world, drank all over the world, wrote poetry all over the world, and befriended Haojie at that time.
However, Li Bai only made a breakthrough in literature after all, and he failed to realize his ambition of "laughing in the sky and going out, my generation is a basil person" - to become an official in the DYNASTY.
When Li Bai was middle-aged, he wrote some poems related to military and political affairs, which shows that this poetry immortal who abandoned his official position and did not do it did not want to care about politics, but his personality was not suitable for being an official.
Ancient China was the era of officialdom, an official position can represent the achievements of this person in a lifetime, And Tang poetry itself was an important examination subject for the selection of officials in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Bai was unable to enter the temple as he wished to take over the authority, which was a pity for him.
In addition, Li Bai was involved in the political struggle of the Li Tang Dynasty and was persecuted in his later years, which added to his lament about life.
Therefore, Li Bai composed "Linlu Song" before his death, lamenting that he did not meet with talent.
Li Bai had confidence in his literary attainments, so there were "Yu Feng stirring up the world, and You Fu Sang Hung on the left side." Posterity has passed on this judgment.....".
But in the end, he still sighed "Zhongni died who is out of the nose", it can be seen that Shi Xian is also afraid of loneliness, afraid of being misunderstood.
