Li Bai’s poems are romantic and unrestrained, but his ambitions and ideals have never been realized. He has learned Taoism since childhood and is familiar with Lao Zhuang, "Zhuang Zi" not only influenced him from the style of writing, but also gave Li Bai the background of the free and unfettered character of pursuing absolute freedom.
"Xiaoyaoyou" contains:
There is a fish in the North Ming, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know its thousands of miles; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
The young man who loves to dance swords and regards the world as his own responsibility with a full belly, sees himself as a Dapeng incarnate, only when the wind rises, he will shock the world and become famous.
Li Yong, a literary leader in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, was appointed as Yuzhou governor. Li Bai, who was about 20 years old, had a chance to see him. However, as the promoter of metrical poetry, Li Yong is not interested in Li Bai's ancient style of singing, and he, who is calm and sophisticated, does not like the rhetoric of the epigenetic, and he is not happy. At that time, with Li Yong's status and identity, it was normal to look down on Li Bai. And Li Bai used a poem "Shang Li Yong" to vent his depression of not being taken seriously. In this poem that seems not so high in EQ, Li Bai uses Dapeng to describe himself:
大鹏一日With the same wind, it skyrocketed for ninety thousand miles.
If the wind stops, it can still shake the water.
People all over the world sneered when they saw me with a special tune.
Xuan's father can still fear offspring, and her husband is still young.
This poem is not difficult to understand, but it is a spirited and hearty poem. However, because of this sharpness, none of his campaigns were successful, and because he was born into a fan and was eligible to participate in the scientific examination, he had never had the opportunity to gain fame.
In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, twenty-four-year-old Li Bai roamed out of Shu and met Sima Chengzhen, the grandmaster of the Shang Qing sect, in Jiangling. Sima said Li Bai "There is fairy style Gu Yan, can be compared with the table of the eight poles "," Li Bai immediately wrote "Dapeng Yuxi You Bird Fu and Preface", comparing Sima Chengzhen to "rare bird", and still compares himself to "Xiaoyaoyou" Peng:
Russia sees that there is a saying: Great Penghu, this is also a joy. My right wing covers the western extremes, and the left wing covers the east wilderness. Straddle the ground and traverse the sky. Take trance as the nest, and nothingness as the field. I travel with you, and you fly with me. Ever since Dapeng Xu Zhi, he happily followed. These two birds have already been on the Liaokuo, and the scolding people are laughing at the fence.
In his twenties, under the influence of the real Taoist Nanhua Zhuangzi and the pope Sima Chengzhen of the Shangqing school, Li Bai’s poems and essays have strong Taoist thoughts in the form and content, reaching forty When he was many years old, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang simply entered the Taoist school after "giving money back" and really became a Taoist priest.
However, the mentality of the world, the clear world, and the fame has not faded. In Li Bai's heart, he will always be the big Peng who waits for the wind to rise, and his aspirations are unpaid, but the time is not me.
This can also explain why he lived well in seclusion, but joined Yongwang's army. His goal is to become a ruler like Guan Zhong, "大鹏一日同风起" It is the most desired goal in his heart. After the defeat of King Yong, Li Bai exiled Yelang and received pardon, should he stop tossing? But not. When he heard Li Guangbi's rebellion, he resolutely joined the army with an old and sick body. Only halfway through the road, it was really unable to hold it, and he went to Li Yangbing as the Tu clan uncle.
handed all the poems to the clan uncle, wrote this "Lin Road Song", full of unwillingness and frustration, and finally hand in hand with Sima Chengzhen to fight against the wind. go with.
临路歌
Dapeng flies and vibrates eight descents, and Zhongtian is weak.
The rest of the wind will be exciting forever, and you will hang a stone robe when you travel to Fusang.
The descendants have inherited this, Zhong Ni diedWho is spitting?
"Linlu Song" is the "Dying Song", it was copied by mistake because of the closeness of "end" and "road".
Why do we have to say so much about Li Bai's works and works when he was young before appreciating this "Lin Road Song"? Because his thinking is in the same line, and he has not aged, he is always young.
Li Bai's mentality is still the same as when he was young. I am a Dapeng who obscures the sky and the sun. Once the wind blows from the north to the sky, I will fly high into the sky.
The mind has never been old, but the body is old and sick.
This kind of unwilling loss and helplessness can be easily understood by comparing it with the spirited young age.
Then this "Lin Road Song" is easy to understand.
"The big Peng flies and vibrates the eight ancestors, the Zhongtian destroys the powerless." The big Peng flies through all directions, and the Zhongtian destroys the strength. This implies that Li Bai was ordered to enter Beijing, but was frustrated in Chang'an. To understand the poet's actual experience, these two sentences appear to be bold and not vague.
"The rest of the wind will be exciting forever, and you will hang a stone robe on the Fusang." The rest of the wind can inspire forever, and the eastward tour of Fusang will hang my left sleeve. The hibiscus is a big tree where the sun rises in ancient myths and legends. In ancient times, the sun was used as a symbol of the monarch, and here You Fusang pointed to the emperor. Shi Qiu, it should be a mistake in transmission and copying, as the left robe, that is, the left sleeve.
So, is it writing people or birds? If you write Dapeng, how come there are sleeves? Obviously Li Bai regarded himself as a roc in his consciousness, and humanized the roc.
"The descendants have this, who is the cause of the death of Zhong Ni?" The posterity of this news is passed down, Zhong Ni is dead, who else can cry for my death? "Zhi" and "this" here refer to the news of "大鹏中天不济" , which is the news of my own death. The latter sentence uses the allusion of Confucius weeping Lin, but now Confucius is dead, who is willing to shed tears for Dapeng's premature death like he did when he cried the Qilin?
These two sentences on the one hand are convinced that future generations will regret this infinitely, on the other hand they lament that there is no friend in this world.
This poem is the epitaph Li Bai wrote for himself. When he reviewed and summarized his life, he revealed the deep regret for his life and his failure to make the best use of it.
At the end of this life, seeing white clothes fluttering, dancing with long swords, talking and laughing, and thinking about the world as a young boy, his rough and tortuous life can be regarded as a return.
After all, the Dapeng rises in the same wind, covering the sky and the sun into the north.
