The Creative Background of Li Bai's Qingpingdiao

According to the records of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, these three poems were written by Li Bai when he offered sacrifices to the Hanlin in Chang 'an.

One day in the spring of the second year of Tianbao (743) or the third year of Tianbao (744), Tang Xuanzong and Yang Fei were watching peony flowers in the palace Chenxiang Temple, and musicians were preparing to perform songs and dances to entertain them. However, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty said, "You can't use old music words as concubines when enjoying famous flowers." Li Bai entered the palace to write a new movement because he urgently called Hanlin and other imperial edicts. Li Bai wrote these three poems on the golden flower stationery when his letter entered the palace.

Three Poems of Qingpingdiao is a group of poems by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, and there are three seven-character Yuefu poems.

Excerpts are as follows:

Beautiful people who see the bright clouds, think of their clothes and see flowers come to see them.

If Yushan didn't see her, it would be Yaochi meeting under the moon.

The translation is as follows:

See brilliant clouds, think of gorgeous clothes, see gorgeous flowers, think of people's looks.

If I hadn't met her at the top of Qunyushan Mountain, I would have met her in the moonlight of Yaochi.

works appreciation

These three poems are rich in language and words, and the most prominent thing is to write flowers and people together, such as "the cloud wants clothes and flowers to look good", as if writing flowers and faces. "A red dew condenses fragrance" is also a blend of people and things, referring to this and that.

After reading these three poems, if you feel that the spring breeze is full of paper, the flowers are full of eyes and the face is blurred, you don't need to portray it. Naturally, people think that this is a peony, a beautiful jade, and nothing else. No wonder these three poems were deeply appreciated by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty at that time.
