Li Bai claimed to be a native of Longxi (now Gansu) Ji Cheng. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, he is the ninth grandson of Emperor Sheng Xing (Gui Li, King of Wu Liangzhao), and he is related to the kings of Li Tang. ] Li Bai is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages. Li Taibai's Collection has been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, Difficult Travel, Difficult Access to Roads, Entering Wine, Initial Making of Baidicheng, etc. His poems are included in the whole Tang Dynasty 16 1 to 188. Li Bai's works are imaginative, romantic, unique and brilliant. As far as artistic achievements are concerned, he is regarded as the peak of China's romantic poetry. At the same time, Li Bai is also the heir of Yuefu poems, which makes many lost Yuefu poems return to the theme and innovates the classical poems to make them sublimate to a new height.
Main work
Li Bai wrote many poems in his life, most of which have been lost. His poems have a wide range of themes, many of which are famous. Moreover, due to different life experiences, his poetic styles in different periods are also different. Li is good at classical poetry, seven-character poems, five-character ancient poems, Yuefu poems, five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains and five-character poems.
Poetry in ancient style
Li Bai's ancient poems represent the fact that there are many ancient poems in the early Tang Dynasty, and he himself is a master of ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty. This poetic style is easier to express people's life exploration and pursuit, youth, romance and lofty sentiments in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Bai is good at classical style, not only because of his personal hobbies and talents, but also because of the times. Therefore, Li Bai's classical style is "less scenery and affectionate". There are nearly a thousand Li Bai's poems in Li Taibai's anthology in Song Dynasty. There are about 640 ancient poems written by Li Bai, accounting for 64% of the total, including 16 1 written by Gucci and 479 poems written by Gu Wu.
Representative works include: Spring Thoughts, Chivalry, Journey to Gulangyu Island, Pillow Bowl Arrived in the South Mountain, Drunkenness in Spring, Looking at Zhang Zifang through Piqi Bridge, Looking at Miheng in Parrot Island, How to judge the spirit by presenting Chang Hao, Four Drinks Alone in the Moon, Fifty-nine Ancient Styles, and. Xuanzhouzhuang bid farewell to the minister, drinking for the moon, singing a song of Lushan suggestion Lu Xuzhou, dreaming of climbing Tianmu Mountain, leaving a restaurant in Nanjing, answering Wang's twelve cold nights, drinking alone, singing on the river, helping the wind, singing Liang Yuange, singing to Sen, Nanling children going to Beijing, singing Jinling West Building under the moon, 357 words.
Yuefu poetry
Li Bai's Yuefu poetry creation is an important part of his retro poetics, and it is his deepening of retro poetics since the early Tang Dynasty. In addition to the writing of "ancient style", the writing of ancient Yuefu is also the pursuit of Li Bai's life. "Chronicle of Tang Poetry" has such a record: Wei Qumou, Wei Shu's obedience, less police, writing poetry, Li Bai's difference, awarded the ancient Yuefu. Quan Zai's narration is written like this: At the beginning, when you were in office for eleven years, you tasted the quatrains of Tongquetai, and Li Baijian, who got the right answer, was surprised because he went to the school of Gu Yuefu. From "Teaching Ancient Yuefu Studies", we can see that Li Bai's ancient Yuefu writing contains a mature poetic system.
Representative works include: Guan Shanyue, Midnight Wu Ge, Long March, Concubine's Misfortune, Farewell, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Sauvignon Blanc, Difficult to Walk, Yin, Nightingale, Wuqi Qu, Xiangyang Song, Xiangyang Song.
Quatrain
Yuefu poetry, especially Yuefu poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, has a common feature, that is, it combines the quatrains of the previous generation of scholars with natural expression techniques, but each poet is also good at his own realm and field. Li Bai's "Seven Wonders" can often outline the grand scenery with the most vivid and extensive lines in short stories, and at the same time condense the long and long-distance tour process into just four sentences, and fully vent the time and space that needs a long speech with quatrains. In addition, Li Bai is good at using figures of speech and meaning to shape. The Peach Blossom Pond, the Yangtze River, the spring breeze and the bright moon in his works all seem to understand human feelings, and they are always fighting for the depth and length of their feelings with those who leave.
Representative works include: Thinking about a Quiet Night, Jade Clan, Resentment, Sitting Alone in Jingting Mountain, Autumn Puge, Sending Local Officials to Pipa Gorge, Zipai, Old Laoting, Crying about Xuancheng's Good Brewing, Remembering He Jian, Sleeping in Mountain Temple and Yellow Crane Tower. I heard the flute in Los Angeles one spring night, and heard that Wang Changling moved to the Longbiao kiln on the left. I gave it to Wang Lun, watched Tianmen Mountain, Qingpingdiao, six poems of Hengjiang River, a question and answer in the mountains, a guest's work, and drank wine. I listened to the flute in the Yellow Crane Tower, accompanied the assistant minister Ye of my uncle's punishment department, and accompanied the Chinese calligrapher Jia Scheeren to Dongting.
Lvshi
There are not many metrical poems written by Li Bai, and few of them have been handed down from generation to generation, such as "On Nanjing's Ascending to the Phoenix Terrace" and "Singing under the Moon on the West Tower of Jinling City". There is no other masterpiece except "Nanjing on the Phoenix Terrace". However, Li Bai's five-character narrative poems can keep pace with Du Fu, except that Li Bai's five-character poems lack the brilliant epic of Du Fu's three officials and three categories, and also lack the five-character arrangement of Du Like's Fu From Beijing to Fengxian and Northern Expedition. Du Fu's five-character arrangement is smooth and neat, during which there are famous sayings and aphorisms flashing, which are not only inferior to Li Bai, but also unparalleled in later poetry circles. Both of them have their own strengths and complementary advantages, and they can intersect well.
Representative works are:
Early Autumn in Taiyuan, Message from Meng Haoran, Farewell to Jingmen Ferry, Listening to Shu Monks Playing the Piano, Farewell to Friends, Nostalgia at Niuzhu Mountain at Night, Xia Sai Qu, Ten Palace Poems (eight of which are out of order), Xie Gongting, Qiudeng Xuancheng Xietiao North Building, etc.
