How does a poem in Li Bai's It's Hard to Go express ambivalence?

The cost of pure wine is a gold cup, 10 thousand copper coins and a hip flask, and I am ashamed of 10 thousand yuan. I threw the food bar and cup aside. I couldn't eat or drink. I pulled out my dagger. I peeped in four directions in vain. I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow.

I will sit on a fishing rod and lean lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream of sailing a boat towards the sun. It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, there are many roads, where is Ann now? One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross the sea.

This is the first book in Three Difficult Walks written by Li Bai. Judging from the content, this group of poems should be written by Li Bai when he left Chang 'an in Tianbao Sanzai (744).

The first four sentences of this poem are about friends who, out of deep friendship for Li Bai and regret that such a genius was abandoned, spared no expense in hosting a farewell banquet. Li Bai, who is naive in drinking, will certainly "drink 300 cups at a time" because of this fine wine, delicious food and the hospitality of his friends. However, this time he picked up the cup and pushed it away. Pick up chopsticks, but leave them behind. He left his seat, drew his sword, looked around and lost his mind. The four continuous movements of stopping, throwing, pulling and caring vividly show the inner depression and emotional agitation.

Then the two sentences are followed by "hollow" and "difficult to walk" is written in front. The poet used "ice blocking the river" and "snow covering the mountain" to symbolize the difficulties and obstacles on the road of life, which has a comparative meaning. A man with great political ambitions was called to Beijing and was lucky enough to get close to the emperor, but the emperor could not appoint him. He was expelled from Chang 'an in disguised form by the "reward for returning to the mountain". Isn't this just like the Yellow River encountering ice and Taihang Mountain encountering snow? However, Li Bai is not that kind of cowardly character. From the beginning of "drawing a sword and looking in all directions", it shows that he is not willing to be depressed and will continue to pursue it. "I will sit on a fishing rod and lazily lean against the stream, but I suddenly dream of driving a boat and sailing towards the sun." In a daze, the poet suddenly thought of two figures who did not go well politically at first, but made great achievements in the end: one was Lu Shang, who was fishing in Panxi at the age of 90 and met King Wen; One is Yi Yin. Before he was hired by Tang, he dreamed that he was sailing around the sun and the moon. Thinking about the experiences of these two historical figures increased the poet's confidence. "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, a lot of roads, is it safe now?" The meeting between Lu Shang and Yi Yin certainly increased his confidence in the future, but when his thoughts returned to the present reality, he once again felt that the road to life was difficult. Looking forward to the future from the banquet, I only feel that the road ahead is rugged and there are many mistakes. Where is the road? This is another feeling in sharp and complicated contradictions. But Li Bai, who is stubborn and confident, never wants to show his discouragement at the farewell party. His strong demand for active use of the world finally freed him from the depression of drifting again and sang a strong voice full of confidence and prospects: "Ride the wind and waves, go straight to my Yun Fan and bridge the deep and deep sea!" He believes that although there are many obstacles ahead, one day, as Zong Yi said in Liu Song, he will ride the wind and waves, hang up the Yun Fan, cross the sea and reach the ideal shore. This 14-sentence poem with 82 words can only be regarded as a short poem among the seven-character poems, but it has a long momentum pattern. One of the important reasons is that it reveals the ups and downs and complex changes of the poet's feelings in a hundred steps. At the beginning of the poem, "Golden Wine" and "Jade Plate and Precious Shame" make people feel like a happy banquet, but the following two details, "Quit drinking and throw chopsticks" and "Draw a sword and look around", show a strong impact of emotional waves. In the middle four sentences, I just sighed "the ice jam in Sichuan" and "the snow all over the mountains", and suddenly it took a thousand years, as if I saw Lu Shang and Yi Yin suddenly being reused by the monarch from their humble positions. The poet's psychological disappointment alternates rapidly with hope, depression and pursuit. "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, a lot of roads, is it safe now?" The four sentences with short rhythm and strong jumping are completely inner monologues in an anxious state, forcing Xiao to convey the complex psychology of wandering back and forth and continuing to explore and pursue without evidence. At the end of the sentence, after several twists and turns, the realm was suddenly enlightened, and I sang a high-pitched and optimistic tone, believing that my ideals and ambitions would be realized one day. Through such ups and downs of feelings, it not only fully shows the suppression of the poet's grand ideals and ambitions by the dark and dirty political reality, but also reflects the poet's strong inner repression, anger and the injustice caused by it, and at the same time highlights the poet's stubbornness, self-confidence and persistent pursuit of ideals, showing the poet's powerful spiritual strength in trying to get rid of repression.

This poem is influenced by Bao Zhao's quasi-theme and expression, but shine on you is better than blue. Their poems all reflect the suppression of talents by feudal rulers to a certain extent, but due to the reasons of the times and the poet's spiritual temperament, Li's poems are more profound and intense, and at the same time, they also show positive pursuit, optimistic self-confidence and tenacious adherence to ideals. Therefore, compared with Bao Zheng, Shi Li's ideological realm is higher.

Three Poems "Difficult to Walk" (Part Two)

The road of life is so broad, but I have no way out. I have no face to follow those people who have no guts to bet on pears and chestnuts. I don't mean to grovel in the door of power, as Feng Xuan complained. At that time, people in Huaiyin laughed at the ministers of the Han Dynasty for their cowardice and incompetence, but they were jealous of Jia Yi's Excellence. Have you seen the former prince of Yan? He respects talents, builds high platforms and provides gold to talented people. Bend down and sweep the floor to welcome them? ? Juxin and Le Yi were grateful for their kindness. They tried their best to serve the monarch with their talents. But Yan Zhaowang died early, who can reuse the wise men like him? The road is hard, I must go back!

"The road is as wide as the blue sky, but there is no way out before my eyes." This opening is different from the first song. The first song was written in the form of fu, starting with the dining tables at the banquet, which sounded dull. This song rose steeply from the beginning, and let the feelings that had been pent up for a long time erupt at once. It also gives contrast, which makes readers feel that its ideological and emotional content is deep and wide. Later, Meng Jiao wrote a poem "If going out is an obstacle, who is the width of heaven and earth?" May be inspired by this poem, but the gas bureau is much worse than Li Bai. Can be compared with it, or Li Bai's own poem: "Shu Dao is difficult to pass, it is difficult to go to the sky", which can only be written by Li Bai's mind. However, it is difficult to walk in Shu to describe the dangers of Shu Road, which directly reminds people of the mountains and rivers in that area, but does not think there are too many ambushes in the article. And this one, using the sky to describe the width of the avenue, is supposed to be easy to walk, but behind it is "but there is no way to go before my eyes", which makes people feel that there are many subtext. In this way, the beginning of this epigram attracted people's attention to the following.

The following six sentences are in pairs. The sentence "ashamed to chase" is to write your own unwillingness. The upper class in the Tang Dynasty liked to play games or gamble with cockfighting. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once built a henhouse in the palace, and the children of cockfighting were loved. At that time, there was a folk song called "children don't need to read, fighting cocks and running dogs is not as good as reading." If you want to learn cockfighting, you can make a dude and open a small back door in your career. But Li Bai scoffed at this. So I declared that I was ashamed to follow the children of Li society in Chang 'an. These two sentences have the same meaning as what he said in Answering the King on Twelve Cold Nights: "You can't learn cockfighting at golden distance, sit down and dry your breath." It is said that he disdains interacting with "the second child of Chang 'an society". So, what about interacting with those dignitaries? "Zhou didn't expect to bow to the nobles to be satisfied, and Feng would go home without fish to eat. "'dragging the king's door' means pulling up the front of the clothes and entering and leaving the powerful door." Playing the piano with a sword "quoted Feng Xuan's allusions. Feng Xuan is a guest of Meng Changjun's family. He feels that Meng Changjun is not polite to him. At the beginning, he often played sword and sang, saying that he would go back. Li Bai hopes to "make friends with princes", but now in Chang 'an, dignitaries don't take him seriously, which makes him feel unbearable like Feng Xuan. These two sentences are about his indiscretion. "General Han was laughed at in the street, and Jia, a gifted scholar, was degraded." When Han Xin was frustrated, he was laughed at and insulted by some street hooligans in Huaiyin. Jia Yi is young and promising, and Emperor Wen of Han intends to reuse it. However, due to the jealousy and opposition of ministers Guan Ying and Feng Jing, they were later exiled. Li Bai borrowed allusions from Han Xin and Jia Yi to write that when he was in Chang 'an, people in general society laughed at and despised him, while those in power were jealous and attacked him. These two sentences are about his frustration.

The next six sentences, "I don't see you", profoundly sang the mutual respect and trust between the monarch and the minister of Yan, revealed his desire to make contributions and showed his pursuit of the ideal relationship between the monarch and the minister. During the Warring States Period, Yan Zhaowang built a platform on the edge of Yishui for the sake of national prosperity, respecting Guo Kun as a teacher, and put gold on it to attract wise men. So, Zou Yan and Xin Qiji came back one after another, which was used by Yan. Yan Zhaowang is not only obedient to them, but also condescending to the corporal. When Zou Yan arrived in Yan, he "embraced the comatose pioneer", swept the road to meet him personally, and blocked the broom with his sleeves to show his respect, for fear of flying dust. Li Bai has always hoped for a closer relationship between the monarch and the minister. He often compares himself with Yi Yin, Jiang Shang, Sean and Zhuge Liang. One of the reasons is that their relationship with the monarch is more in line with his ideal. But this relationship does not exist in reality. At this time, Tang Xuanzong was corrupt and fatuous, and had no real heart of seeking virtue and valuing virtue. He called Li Bai into Beijing by imperial edict, but he just pretended to love talent and asked him to write some praise and praise. The king's bones have been buried. Who will sweep the floor of the golden platform again? ? Lamenting that Zhao Haoqi was dead, and no one was going to crack down on the pornographic platform, was actually his disappointment with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The poet's feelings are profound and painful.

The above twelve sentences are all based on "the road is like the blue sky, there is no way to go" and describe in detail "the road is difficult to go". Since the court did not value him, but rejected him, it had to leave. "It's hard to walk, come back!" Under the circumstances at that time, he had only this way to go. These two sentences are both a heavy sigh and an angry protest.

This poem shows Li Bai's desire for great achievements and his enthusiasm for doing something despite difficulties. He longs for opportunities like those of Yan Zhaowang and Le Yi, and hopes to have the opportunity of "serving him wholeheartedly, which is full of intrigue". At the end of the article, "It's hard to go, come back" is just an angry word, more specifically referring to leaving Chang 'an, but it doesn't mean passively avoiding the world, and it doesn't rule out that at the same time he still has the illusion of "opening my Yun Fan to the deep sea under the bridge" for his comeback.
