¡ª¡ª"In our impression, Li Bai is very immortal. Li Bai loves to drink, knows martial arts, and indulges himself. His poems are also natural, almost without artificial carving.
Is the Li Bai in the poem the real Li Bai?
of course not. At least not quite. Let's put it this way, Li Bai in the poem is his ideal personality, but in reality Li Bai is a person who is constantly trying to get close to this ideal personality.
Li Bai's life pursuits are very simple: one is to become an official and the other is to retire. To be more specific, one is to be an official, and the other is to learn Taoism.
You may think that these two pursuits seem contradictory, but Li Bai doesn't think so: he believes that these two paths are ways of self-realization. His ideal state is to move forward and retreat freely between officialdom and seclusion.
The cause of such contradictory pursuit directions is also related to Li Bai's growth environment.
In fact, Li Bai's origin is very mysterious, and we don't even know what his last name is.
The surname "Li" was chosen by his father after he saw a plum tree on the side of the road.
From some materials, we can infer that his ancestors were relegated to a place in Central Asia or West Asia during the Sui Dynasty.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, that is, when Li Bai was very young, the family secretly ran back in violation of the ban. Because of taboos, Li Bai was never willing to talk about his childhood.
What we can confirm is that Li Bai stayed in Sichuan from the age of five to his twenties. Although he never came back, he missed this place all his life and regarded it as his hometown.
Think about the phrase in "Thinking of a Quiet Night" "Looking up at the mountains and moons, bowing your heads and thinking about your hometown" is a record in the original text of the Tang Dynasty. The "Mountains and Moons" in the poem is the hometown he misses, the mountainous Sichuan.
In Li Bai's self-report, he started to get in touch with Taoist books when he was five or six years old. This is why he later became close to Taoism.
He also said that he "observed strange books at fifteen and wrote Fu Ling Xiangru", which means that he could write beautiful Fu at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It can be seen that Li Bai had a profound accumulation of literature and history when he was a child, which was the basis for becoming an official after he became an adult.
Li Bai's two pursuits of Taoism and politics were initially formed during his studies in his youth.
Li Bai was very enterprising when he was young. After leaving Sichuan, he actively participated in political activities. Like most people in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai visited celebrities everywhere and presented his poems, hoping that someone would recommend him to be an official.
However, Li Bai's attitude is still arrogant even if he asks for help from others. For example, in his article to Han Chaozong, he said that he is as powerful as Lord Pingyuan's diner Mao Sui, and whether he can recognize my strength depends on the master's ability.
Begging for help is still so crazy, who would be willing to help him? Of course, Li Bai's early official career was not smooth. Being underappreciated all the time, he had to adjust his goal and turned to living in seclusion. "
Everyone was fascinated, and Yaolivas paused a little longer this time. Almost everyone looked at his figure, waiting expectantly and eagerly.
Yaolivas was very satisfied with everyone's situation, raised the corners of his mouth, and continued.
¡ª¡ª"Seclusion is a common retreat for ancient Chinese literati when wars or official careers are not going well. In the next few years, Li Bai kept socializing with hermits and talked together.
He said that he wants to detach himself from the outside world and realize the Taoist ideal. At that time, Li Bai also made a little way in learning Taoism.
All the people he made friends with were famous Taoist figures. But because of his crazy personality, he didn't take these fairy elders seriously, and he also called the seniors in their seventies and eighties the same generation.
This is because neither being an official nor learning Taoism is Li Bai's ultimate goal. No matter which way, it is a way of self-realization for him.
Li Bai said, if I go out to politics, I will stand up to the princes and nobles, and if I live in seclusion in the mountains, I will look down on all hermits.
He is not interested in official titles and money, he just wants to show his talents and realize his ambitions. It is best to occupy a high position as soon as you come up, and then return to seclusion after becoming famous, leaving a legend in the world about the salvation of the gods. "
Yao Livas stopped this time, and Chu Lihua shared her feelings, "No wonder the German philosopher Cassirer said: 'When the weather is calm, people can't think of God. Only in places full of risks and uncertainties, faith and Prayer prevails."
Li Bai's official career was not going well, so he turned around and took a different path, but the result was still so crazy. Still a feeling of dominance. "
¡ª¡ª"Isn't that the case! After he became an official, he didn't agree with Qu Yuan's foolish loyalty. He said: I will never commit suicide for politics. There are still great rivers and mountains in front of me. At worst, I will just live in seclusion like Xie An.
And when it comes to retiring, he doesn'tLike Tao Yuanming, he said: Tao Yuanming is a good man, but he lives in seclusion farming all his life, wasting his talent, and it is not worth learning. "
Kang Xuming was also very encouraged, "A person who has been deified is suddenly exposed by Yao Livas, which makes me quite emotional. No one is perfect, even if he is physically healthy, he will have shortcomings in character.
However, it is precisely because of this character that Li Bai is Li Bai, and he can leave so many arrogant and extraordinary poems.
It can be said that it is also his shortcomings that made him. "
¡ª¡ª"The summary is in place. The essence of Li Bai is to have stronger life experience and feelings than ordinary people. This vigorous vitality has played a decisive role in Li Bai's poetry creation.
Moreover, all these characteristics of Li Bai are well-founded. He came according to his idol.
Li Bai's idol is Lu Zhonglian, a lobbyist in the Warring States Period. This Lu Zhonglian made two brilliant appearances in his life, both on the battlefield where the army was overwhelming, and he used his three-inch tongue to ease the tense situation and solve the problems of those in power.
Unlike ordinary loyal ministers, Lu Zhonglian did not sign a lifelong contract with anyone, but traveled around the world to be friends with various monarchs, and did not ask for rewards when things were done¡ªin order to avoid rewards, he even ran away all the way .
It is said that he would rather be poor and free than be rich but have to be subordinated to others. This is very in line with Li Bai's imagination at the stage of becoming an official.
The ending of Lu Zhonglian is floating in the East China Sea. "Sea" was a very special symbol at that time. Since the Qin Dynasty, the East China Sea has been the holy land that the immortals yearn for, which is in line with Li Bai's ambition to learn Taoism.
Look, this Lu Zhonglian is righteous and talented, successful and free, he is simply the embodiment of Li Bai's ideal personality.
Therefore, Li Bai has a very different temperament from most ancient Chinese literati. Du Fu, who was almost at the same time as him, only wanted to do things down-to-earth, but Li Bai wanted to be top-notch in everything.
Li Bai's pursuit is to soar into the sky, just like what he said in his poem: "The great roc rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles." If the wind breaks down, it can still shake the sea water. ¡¯¡± (remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
