"The people of today do not see the ancient times and the moon, but the present month once looked like the ancients."
The bright moon that reflects the ancient and modern times came from the Tang Dynasty; But the glorious years of the Tang Dynasty have long been scattered with the wind and turned into ripples in the long river of history.
If we want to appreciate the prosperity and romance of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to looking for it from the thick annals, we can also feel it in the beautiful Tang poems.
When we open the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, the first thing that jumps into our eyes is Li Bai.
Li Bai, Li Taibai, his name is really like the Tai Bai Star in the sky, and it has been shining above people's heads.
He is an immortal in the sky, coming from the embrace of the moonlight, with a romantic body, and the embroidery mouth is half of the elegance of the Tang Dynasty.
Even Li Bai's death has given him a free and easy atmosphere, saying that he is treading the waves, going away from the moon and returning to the sky that belongs to him.
After that day, he said goodbye to this world, leaving behind posterity, in addition to the eternal legends and endless poems, there is also a lonely and silent tomb.
Since ancient times, people have known that Li Bai loves wine as his life, so thousands of years of time have passed, countless people who have read Li Bai's poems, with all kinds of wine, came to Li Bai's tomb located in the quarry rock of Dangtu, Anhui, just to pay homage to the demeanor of this great poet and offer him a glass of wine.
Of course, in addition to fine wine, there are countless literati and ink writers, who come from all directions, they either stop or wander, in front of Li Bai's tomb to express their sorrows, splash ink, and leave countless touching and heartfelt mourning poems.
During the reign of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe, Bai Juyi, who was angry because of the assassination of Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng and was finally degraded, also came to Li Bai's tomb.
He looked at the grave that was overgrown with weeds and lonely, and his heart swelled with endless admiration and pity for Li Bai, the great poet. In the midst of thousands of emotions, he wrote "Li Bai's Tomb" with a pen.
The Tomb of Li Bai
Quarrying the Li Bai grave by the river, the infinite grass and clouds around the field.
Poor barren and poor spring bones, there was an earth-shattering text.
But no matter how thin the poet's life is, he will not be able to fall into the king.
In the first sentence "Quarrying Li Bai's tomb by the river, surrounding the field with infinite grass and clouds", Bai Juyi sketched the desolate and profound scene by Li Bai's tomb with concise brushstrokes.
On the bank of the Quarry River, Li Bai's resting place stands quietly, the river is surging, like the torrent of history, and the barren grass surrounding it is even more continuous, until the edge of the sky.
The river and the barren grass are intertwined, forming a tragic and desolate picture, as if telling the mourning of the great poet's death, which can not help but make people feel emotional.
"Poor barren and poor spring bones, there was an earth-shattering text." This sentence is to express the author's admiration for Li Bai during his lifetime and his desolation after his death.
He sighed that the poems written by the poet immortal Li Bai were like the earth-shattering thunder, which was shocking, but now there is only a pinch of loess left, how can it not make people sigh?
"But no matter how thin the poet's life is, he will not be able to fall into the king." Thinking of this, Bai Juyi used this sentence to express the ups and downs and helplessness of the poet's fate, and expressed his deep regret for Li Bai.
Li Bai, a talented poet, should have had a more brilliant life, but he had a bad fate and was depressed all his life.
How can this strong contrast not make people sigh and feel sad?
In fact, in this poem, Bai Juyi not only expressed his sympathy for Li Bai's fate, but also expressed his grievances and indignation in his heart.
The dynasty in which Li Bai lived, it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty of "Zhaozhao and Tang Dynasty, Heaven and All Kingdoms", and it was the golden age of those poets with great creativity and vitality.
And the era in which he lives, the Tang Dynasty has passed, and it is far inferior to Li Bai's era in all aspects of politics, military, economy, and culture.
But Li Baisheng was still so thin in that enlightened and beautiful era, wouldn't I be even more miserable.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Juyi has so many feelings, not only to regret Li Bai, but also to express his helplessness about the current situation.
Why do we often feel like we're in tears when we read a passage or listen to a song?
That's because you see yourself in the depths of the words and hear yourself in the songs, so your soul resonates deeply with it.
This is the case with Bai Juyi's poem.
It's not just Li Bai who has a thin life, not only these poets, but now they have struggled for half a life, and most people are far inferior to these poets!
That's why every time I read this poem, I feel like I'm in tears!
After all, I'm just one of the ordinary people in the world.
