Li Bai, Ma'anshan and Nanjing

Recently, the Jiangsu Development and Reform Commission officially approved the rail transit from Nanjing to Ma'anshan. The Ningma Line starts from Nanjing Xishanqiao Station and ends at Ma'anshan Dangtu South Station. The total length of the route is approximately 54.23 kilometers, with *** stations 16 seats.

Ma'anshan has always been called the Ma'anshan District of Nanjing. Because the two places are close to each other, Ma'anshan has a very close relationship with Nanjing in history. It can be said that due to Ma'anshan's beautiful scenery, Nanjing has always regarded Ma'anshan as its back garden. Since the Three Kingdoms, Ma'anshan has been the core area of ??Nanjing's cultural circle, and its status is equivalent to Gaochun and Lishui counties.

Of course, half of the cultural connection between Ma'anshan and Nanjing is due to Li Bai.

Li Bai liked Nanjing and Ma'anshan very much. Poems about Nanjing accounted for nearly one-tenth of Li Bai's poems. He eventually died of illness in Ma'anshan.

In 726 AD, Li Bai passed through Ma'anshan for the first time and wrote "Looking at Tianmen Mountain" while riding a boat down the Yangtze River. Tianmen Mountain is in Wuhu. He visited it more than ten years ago. At that time, there was also a finless porpoise show. The water is spectacular.

The Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flows eastwards to this point.

The green mountains on both sides of the strait stand out from each other, and the lone sail comes from the sun. ?

Down the river is Caishiji. There is a book "Moving at Night in Niuzhu to Reminisce about the Past":

At night in Niuzhu Xijiang River, there is no cloud in the blue sky.

Climbing the boat and looking at the autumn moon, I remember General Xie.

I can also chant loudly, but this person cannot hear it.

In the Ming Dynasty, sails and mats were hung, and maple leaves fell one after another.

Li Bai died in Dangtu in 762 AD and was buried at the southeast foot of Longshan Mountain. This great poet wrote his last "Death Song":

The great Peng flies to shake up the eight descendants, but the sky is unable to destroy it.

The lingering wind is stirring for eternity, and the fusang is hanging on the stone gauze.

Later generations will pass this on, who will cry when Zhongni dies?

More than fifty years after Li Bai's death, Fan Chuanzheng was appointed as the observer of Xuan, She and Chi. According to Li Bai's last wish to "please the Qingshan of Xie's family" during his lifetime, he moved Li Bai's tomb to Daqingshan in Dangtu and buried him there. My favorite side is Xie Tiao.

Li Bai’s first trip to Jinling was in the autumn of the 13th year of Kaiyuan, when he was 25 years old. In Nanjing, Li Bai lingered in the streets and alleys of Qinhuai City. He understood every detail of the lives of the lower class citizens and businessmen, and wrote a poem "Changgan Xing" that has been passed down through the ages:

Concubine Fa At the beginning of the complexion, there is a drama in front of the door. Lang came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.

Living together in Changqianli, the two children have no doubts. The fourteenth year is a gentleman's wife, and she has not yet shown her shame.

Lower your head towards the dark wall, and you will be called out every thousand times. I raise my eyebrows at the age of fifteen, wishing to be like dust and ashes.

How can I go to the husband-watching platform if I always keep a letter holding a pillar? The Sixteenth Lord traveled far away to Qutang Yanlidui.

The month of May is untouchable, and the apes are mourning in the sky. There are traces of late movements in front of the door, covered with green moss.

The moss is too deep to be swept away, and the leaves fall early in the autumn wind. In August, the butterflies are yellow and fly over the grass in the western garden.

Feeling this hurts my heart, and I sit there worrying about my beauty getting old. Get off the bus in the morning and evening and write home letters in advance.

It’s not far to meet each other, until the wind blows.

In 738 and 740 AD, Li Bai visited Jinling for the second and third time. Compared with the first time, Li Bai's mentality is much more mature and calm. The situation when he was young has become deep and steady. The happiness of wandering in the land of fireworks for the first time has turned into the behavior of visiting ancient times to seek sages.

At this time, Li Bai left the most famous poem "Ascending the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling":

The phoenix travels on the Phoenix Terrace, and the phoenix leaves the platform and the Kongjiang River flows by itself.

The flowers and plants of Wu Palace are buried in the secluded path, and the clothes of the Jin Dynasty have become ancient hills.

Beyond the blue sky half-fallen by the three mountains, Bailuzhou is divided into two waters.

Floating clouds can always block the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad. "

Although they are modeled after Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower", they have their own characteristics. Shen Deqian, a litterateur in the Qing Dynasty, believed that the two poems were only accidentally similar, and that Li's poems were not necessarily inherited from Cui's poems: " Made from the heart, similar by chance. It must be said that he is imitating Si Xun, but it is probably not the case. "

The poems about Cui Hao and Li Bai come from the notes of Liu Kezhuang, a man from the Song Dynasty:

"When Taibai passed the Yellow Crane Tower, I couldn't help but feel the scenery in front of me. Cui Hao wrote a poem At the top'. When he arrived at Jinling, he composed a poem called "Phoenix Terrace" to imitate it. Looking at the second poem today, the real opponent plays chess. ("Houcun Poetry Talk")
