In the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was ordered to go to Chang'an and became a scholar of the imperial court. Although this image has passed for thousands of years, it still arouses people's infinite reverie. At that time, Chang'an had an enlightened and wise emperor, some beautiful concubines, and one of the most outstanding poets. They adorned Chang'an with dazzling brilliance, which was a beautiful blend that had never been seen for thousands of years. However, this situation only lasted for a short year or two. Perhaps because Li Bai has an uninhibited temperament and is not suitable for being an official, Tang Xuanzong and his fate have also come to an end. In the third year of Tianbao, on the surface, Tang Xuanzong treated Li Bai with great courtesy and returned his gold and gifts. In reality, however, the great poet was expelled from the capital, and Tang Xuanzong never wanted to see him again.
Under the politeness, there is a hidden bottom line that the imperial power cannot be violated, which also means that Li Bai will finally bid farewell to his career. What caused this and what kind of turmoil did it go through?So far, there is no way to know. However, Li Bai's feelings for Tang Xuanzong may be glimpsed from ancient books.
At that time, he left Beijing and wrote "Watching the Hu People Play the Flute": "The Hu people play the jade flute, and half of it is Qin Sheng. In October, Wu Shan Xiao, plum blossoms fall into the pavilion. Sorrowful smelled the stopper, and tears filled the courtiers. But looking at Chang'an Road, empty nostalgia. Among Li Bai's many famous poems through the ages, this little poem is not prominent. But it shows Li Bai's sentimental side, expressing his attachment, gratitude and even anxiety to his old master.
In the poem, the first two sentences seem to be understated, but they are actually cleverly laid out. In the sound of Hu Ren's flute, he heard the melody of Qin Di. Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was once the capital of the Warring States Qin State, which naturally evokes fragments of his life in the capital, and the years spent with Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty are vivid. At the same time, the melancholy hinted by this sentence also sets the tone of the whole poem. "Wu Shan Xiao in October, Plum Blossoms Fall in Jingting" depicts the time and place of the poem. At this moment, it was October of the twelfth year of Tianbao, and Li Bai came to Xuancheng from Liangyuan to write poems with the local Taishou. And Jingting Mountain is the place where Li Bai must pass through, he has special feelings for this mountain, and wrote the famous sentence "I don't get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain".
This paragraph describes the trampling of the years and the distance of distance, but it can't stop Li Bai's nostalgia. "Sorrow smells the song, tears are full of ministers" is the most profound sentence in the whole poem, and the words "sorrow" and "tears" reveal Li Bai's heart. He called himself a "courtier", which was an evaluation of himself and a summary of that period of history. However, he did not feel sorrow for himself, nor did he weep for himself. The poem mentions the "Out of the Stopper", which is the battle song of the Tang Dynasty soldiers when they set out on the expedition, and the cry of the border pass. Li Bai traveled all over the world and served as an official in the court, although he was drunk and heroic, his wisdom and insight will be able to understand the crisis under the prosperity of the world. The sorrow in my heart and the tears in my eyes are for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world.
Of course, the worries in his heart can't help but worry about the fate of the old master. "But looking at Chang'an Road, empty nostalgia" is his natural emotional outpouring. Although it was not valued by Tang Xuanzong, every time he looked back at the ancient road to Chang'an, he always aroused his attachment to the emperor. This is probably Li Bai's true feeling after leaving the capital, he has neither grudge nor complaint against Tang Xuanzong, only deep attachment, gratitude and worry, all of which have become more and more intense as his knowledge grows. Sure enough, his fears of misfortune were fulfilled two years later. The Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Tang Dynasty fell from the peak to the trough like a roller coaster, Chang'an was lost, his beloved wife died, and even the throne had to be relinquished.
All this is exactly what Li Bai is worried about. Many readers asked in private messages how to train children to read Tang poems and understand traditional Chinese culture. I'm not an education expert, but there are experts now. It is recommended that a set of ten children's books covering "Three Character Classics", "Rules", "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and "Analects" are easy to understand and suitable for children in lower grades to expand their reading. There's never a mistake in reading more, no matter when or where. In addition, now the merchant has launched an event, the original price of 128 yuan of the ten-volume set, now **99 yuan, there is no routine during the double 11 period, the link is detailed.
