Compare the different artistic features and works of Wang Changling and Li Bai's seven-character quatrains.
The ancients called Li Bai and Wang Changling the "Seven Sages".
1, and their four-line works were also called "magic products" by the ancients.
2, and was named "model of the Tang Dynasty for 300 years"
It is conceivable that their four-line work has reached its peak. Later generations often compare the seven wonders of the two men. In the Qing Dynasty, Luo Song's "On Mantang Poetry" said: "The three Tang Dynasties and seven wonders are immortal, and the Taibai Dragon Label is unparalleled."
4. So, what are the superb features of the seven wonders of the two men that make future generations gasp in admiration? Try to make a comparison here, and analyze the characteristics of the seven wonders of the two people by comparison.
First, look at the similarities and differences of his works from the theme content: Li Bai's theme is often to describe mountains and rivers, express friendship and travel life, which is subjective. Wang Changling, on the other hand, describes the frontier wars and women's sorrows, which profoundly reflects various social phenomena and times and is objective. In terms of ideological content, they all show the feelings of being active and enterprising, serving the country and saving the world, and healthy and lofty personality.
In his Song of Eternal Sorrow, Li Bai clearly shows a complex ideological tendency, that is, the contradiction between ideal and reality, such as it is hard to go, Drunken Man's sake, Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream, etc. However, there is no hearty embodiment in the short and pithy quatrains. Perhaps the quatrains are simple and implicit, and they cannot be played as vividly as the ancient style; However, his mood was also reflected in the Seven Wonders in different periods. This emotion reflected in the conflict between ideal and reality can be released and vented with the latest and freest poetic style at that time-quatrains [here is only an analysis of seven poems]. Of course, his free and unrestrained personality is also particularly adapted to this lyric theme and genre which mainly expresses subjective colors and personal feelings.
Before the age of forty-two, Li Bai left Shu at the age of twenty-five and wandered for almost half of China. He wrote many excellent poems, which fully demonstrated his ambition of "helping the poor" and "securing the country" and his wild pursuit of personal freedom. Such as "Looking at Tianmen Mountain":
The Yangtze River splits the Tianmen Peak like a giant axe, and the green river flows around the island. The green hills on both sides are neck and neck, and a boat meets leisurely from the horizon.
In the author's pen, the Chu River seems to be a thing with strong vitality, showing the magical power to overcome all obstacles. Tianmen Mountain, which faces Jiajiang River, seems to be coming towards itself, expressing its welcome to the people in the upper reaches of the river and full of fresh joy of the people on board. Isn't this man who broke through all the shackles and pursued freedom on the ship the poet's self-image?
Li Bai came to Chang 'an with enthusiasm, hoping to show his ambition, but it is not an actual official position to devote three years to Hanlin. The old and groggy Xuanzong only regarded him as a literary servant, and his ideal of saving the country became a bubble. He refused to take refuge in powerful people, and naturally there was no way out politically. So he resigned from Chang 'an, toured the mountains and played with water, and was keen on the existing Taoist thoughts, seeking immortals to visit the Tao. I tried to anesthetize myself with religion to get rid of sadness and depression. Such as "Asked in the Mountain":
I asked what I meant by living in the blue mountains, but I laughed without answering my heart. Peach blossoms are opening, and it is another world.
This sentence "heaven and earth are inhuman" implies how much pain and hate the poet has in his heart. Another example is "Five Poems of Traveling to Dongting with Assistant Minister Ye of Jia Shu's Punishment Department and Jia Sheren in the Chinese Book" (below):
In the autumn night, the south lake is clear of water and smoke. How can you ride the sky? Let Dongting Lake enjoy some moonlight on credit and enjoy the moon and drink happily.
In the poem, Li Bai's thoughts of "death is immortal" and "death is not the world" are completely revealed. However, his pride in pursuing and not bowing to the powerful is reflected in Wang Lushan Waterfall:
The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain. On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.
Isn't this momentum a stronger expression of his unrestrained pursuit of personal freedom?
Of course, his arrogance and rebellion are aimed at princes and nobles, but his friendship is extremely real and cherished, which is most vividly manifested in his seven wonders. Such as "To Wang Lun":
"Li Bai was going by boat, and suddenly he heard singing on the shore. Peach Blossom Pond is deeper in thousands of feet than in Wang Lun. "It vividly expresses sincere and pure feelings through the contrast of things.
"I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left and the Dragon Label was sent here";
"Huayang Zigui crow, Wen Dao Long Biao Wu Xi. I am worried about the bright moon, and I will follow the wind to Yelangxi. " The personified moon shows deep feelings for friends.
There is also the yearning for my hometown and my love for my hometown during my stay. Such as "I smell the flute on a spring night in Los Angeles":
Yu Di's dark flying sound scattered into the spring breeze in Los Angeles. In this nocturne, the willow is broken, and no one can afford to be homesick.
Loving hometown and patriotism are interlinked. This homesickness shows the poet's reluctance to leave Chang 'an despite being left out in the cold. Generally speaking, the theme of Li Bai's "Seven Wonders" is mostly about describing mountains and rivers, expressing friendship and imprisoned life, with a strong subjective color. It is still inseparable from the central theme of his other poems, the contradiction between ideal and reality. The complex thoughts and feelings reflected by this contradiction have been fully expressed and vented in these themes. There is always a "self" in poetry, an image of a poet who is aggressive, extremely anti-pit, but arrogant and negative. This image also reflects the spirit, features and contradictions of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Wang Changling's realistic works are mainly reflected in frontier poems, which are realistic. Judging from Wang Changling's experience, he has never been to the northwest frontier, but he has written many immortal poems reflecting the unfortunate experiences and homesickness of soldiers in the western frontier, as well as their patriotism and courage. This may be related to his bumpy life and repeated hardships, and he is deeply touched. It is also related to the era in which he lived: during the Kaiyuan period, the national strength was strong, and the military reform [mercenary system] strengthened the military and political power of the border customs. People yearned for making contributions to the border customs and became a common practice. All these prompted him to develop into a realistic style and made him famous for his achievements in frontier poems. In short, the unfortunate experience made it more realistic, and the fashion of the times and the feelings of serving the country prompted it to take Frontier fortress as the theme. For example, Two Embankments (Part I):
It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war. But make Long Biao fly, and don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain.
This masterpiece was once praised by Li Panlong, a poet of Ming Dynasty, as a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty. Don't the tragedy of "the people who haven't returned from the Long March" and the wish of "not calling Huma the Yinshan Mountain" reflect the face and voice of the times? Another example is "Join the Army" (I):
"The bonfire is 100 feet west of the city, and you sit alone in the sea breeze at dusk. Even playing Qiangdi and Guan Shanyue, there is no sorrow of Wan Li. " It depicts the deep homesickness and homesickness of border guards.
(2): "When the pipa dances with a new voice, it will always be a farewell to the old. I can't hear the dazzling side, high autumn and bright moon shine on the Great Wall. " Through the military feast, the deep and complicated feelings of the defenders were expressed.
His poems also strongly express the patriotic pride and brave spirit of the soldiers. For example, the fourth of Seven Military Services:
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan. Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.
Even the poems of in my heart forever are related to frontier exploration, such as in my heart forever:
"Young woman never worry in the boudoir, spring Cui Lou makeup. Suddenly I saw the willow color on the stranger's head and regretted teaching my husband to find the marquis. " Here, "seeking the title of marquis" refers to the expedition from the army and making meritorious deeds. This also reversed the fashion at that time.
From the seven wonders of Wang Changling, we can see various social phenomena and characteristics of the times at that time. This objective color is completely different from the strong subjective color infiltrated in Li Bai's seven wonders.
However, they are consistent in the ideological content of showing patriotic enthusiasm and noble and pure personality. For example, Li Bai's "Songs of Dong Eleven" (the eleventh song): "Try to command Rong Lu to sit at the table with Wang's jade whip. The south wind swept away Shh, and went west to Chang 'an to Japan. "Patriotism is full of passion. Wang Changling's patriotic enthusiasm in Joining the Army is particularly good, such as "Don't break Loulan, don't give it back" and "Don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain".
Li Bai played down the feeling of feathering in the seven wonders, which can be said to be the embodiment of his lofty and pure character. For example, "Lovers in the Mountain": "Two people drink mountain flowers, one cup after another. I am so drunk that I want to sleep, and I plan to hold the Ming Dynasty piano. " It shows the poet's extraordinary character.
Listening to the flute playing on the Yellow Crane Tower and Shi Lang Zhong Qin: "One is to move the guests to Changsha, but I can't see my home in West Chang 'an. The Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower, and plum blossoms fall into the river in May. "The political blow did not make the poet forget the affairs of state, and the heart of boxing was obvious.
Wang Changling's Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Inn (I): "When it's cold and rainy at night, Chu Mountain will see the guests off. If relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot. " . The poet experienced many hardships and setbacks in his life. In a dark bureaucratic group, he should be spotless, as clean as ice in a jade pot. How proud and noble.
In a word: the content of Li Bai's Seven Musts is to send love to mountains and rivers and miss friendship. There is always a "self" image in poetry, which expresses the poet's thoughts and feelings and indirectly reflects the social reality. The theme of Wang Changling's Four Musts focuses on describing the frontier life and the sadness of women. It directly and profoundly reflects various social phenomena and times. This is the difference between them. It is also patriotic feelings, enterprising spirit, feelings of worrying about the country and the people, melancholy of serving the country, noble and pure personality charm.
Second, from the point of expression, both have obvious characteristics. "Shirley naturally flows away, as if he blurted out, blurted out, and wrote it out from the letter. Wang Shi is perfect for hammering and washing. "It's not the same. Superb scene fusion technology should be their similarity.
Let's talk about the difference:
Li Bai's two poems are the most vivid descriptions and generalizations of his poetic language: "Clear water gives birth to hibiscus, and it is carved naturally." In the example of poetry, the word "nature" means no affectation, no painting, no piling up; Enjoy nature. This "interest in nature" is wonderful nature. Shen Deqian's Three Hundred Tang Poems said: "Seven-character quatrains are close to feelings, and hidden words are more important. Just look at the prospects, talk, and have overtones, which makes people stay away from it, too white and embarrassed. " These characteristics he said are actually the naive natural charm of folk songs. The Four Musts originated from the folk songs of the Six Dynasties. The allusion of "the iron pestle is ground into a needle" also shows that Li Bai has made great efforts to learn folk songs, but it is no accident that he wants to "blurt it out". Such as "Look at Xuancheng Rhododendron":
Shu has heard of Zigui bird and Xuancheng has seen azaleas. One is called, one is ileum, one is broken, and March is three memories.
What is used here is folk spoken language, which is both vivid and cordial. There are also examples of poems cited above, which all show the unique charm of Li Bai's literary language: colloquialism and elegance.
"flowing away naturally" and "blurting out" can also be analyzed from the aspect of his emotional truth: in poems and examples, "straightforward" was renamed as "rushing expression", which means "there is an emotion that will suddenly rush and overflow. Try to express extremely real feelings in very simple sentences. If you want to talk more, or put it mildly, your true face will be completely gone. " . This requires authenticity, which is inseparable from the author's life. (Liang Qichao's "Emotion in China's Verse" [6] such as "Early Development of Baidicheng":
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away. The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
On the one hand, I was suddenly forgiven on the way to exile, on the other hand, I experienced the Three Gorges regatta and suddenly felt generate. Coupled with the skills of the folk song "Tianqu", this immortal and tireless masterpiece will naturally come into being. In fact, all his works are permeated with his sincere feelings and straightforward personality. Also, Li Bai is a romantic poet with strong subjective color, characterized by self-expression. He broke through the shackles and pursued his free personality, which also made him write a poem of "suddenly rushing down", and even rice could not stop Li Bai's whimsy. Learning vivid spoken language, sincere feelings and bold personality from folk songs can explain the origin of his "flowing away naturally, as if blurting out and coming easily"? This is also the most striking feature of Li Bai's Seven Musts.
Most of Wang Changling's frontier poems adopted the old theme of Yuefu, and he practiced the seven wonders hard, which is naturally a model of hard learning from folk songs. At this point, they are the same. But why is the artistic expression completely different from that of Li Bai? Wang Shi has two characteristics.
First, I am good at expressing my current feelings with the seven wonders. Take in my heart forever as an example:
Young women in boudoir don't know how to worry, but they are dressed upstairs in spring. Suddenly I saw the green willows, and I felt uncomfortable; Oh, I regret that I shouldn't have asked my husband to find Hou Feng.
The young woman didn't know how to worry, so she went upstairs to enjoy the spring scenery, but when she saw the willow color on the stranger's head, she felt lonely and lost. This is the most enlightening moment, and therefore the most poetic moment. By expressing feelings in an instant, readers will be inspired by endless associations. Another example is "Join the Army" (I): "A hundred-foot building in the west of Fiberhome". It's nothing unusual to recruit people to guard the city. The flute of A Qiang evokes the melancholy of strangers. The poet captured the instantaneous changes in people's hearts and expressed them accurately. Wang Changling is particularly good at describing this touching process in detail.
Second: quatrains are only four words, and he has to deal with every sentence carefully, so he has no extra pen. The first sentence is often a sudden sound, which opens the situation with a thunderous momentum. For example:
It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war. If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.
The desert was foggy, the red flag rolled out of Yuanmen, and the former army fought the Taohe River at night, but they were captured alive.
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan. Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.
The new sound of pipa dance is always the old love. I can't stop playing, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall.
Misty rain enveloped Wu's day overnight; Send you in the morning, lonely and sad in Chushan! Friends, if my friends in Luoyang invite me; Just say I'm still Bing Xin Okho, and stick to my faith!
The above five sentences come straight to the point. But the best part is not the first sentence, but the third sentence. Generally speaking, quatrains should open up a new realm and explore new ideas in the third sentence, so the first two sentences should be mild to benefit by going up one flight of stairs. Wang Changling's intonation is risky, but it can also be boosted in the third sentence to take his thoughts and feelings further, which really requires a high artistic foundation. . For example, in the poem "The Embankment", the average person writes that "the moon was closed in the Qin Dynasty and the people were not returned on the Long March", which is probably followed by a description of the melancholy of the people who have not returned. Wang Changling did not connect like this, but he opened up a new idea: "But make Longcheng fly, and don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain." Others, such as "Luoyang relatives and friends ask each other", "Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles" and "stirring up the border and worrying about the bomb", are all unexpected quips. Wang Changling won't let go of the end of this poem. He sometimes writes very realistically and positively, such as "Don't break Loulan, don't give it back" and "There is a piece of ice in the jade pot". Sometimes it is hidden and deliberately blocked, and the reverberation is around the beam, such as "high autumn and bright moon shines on the Great Wall". It is precisely the need to carefully depict touching pictures and carefully handle every short sentence that makes it impossible for Wang Changling to hammer poems. It is different from Li Bai's "out of the mouth".
Can the above analysis explain the differences between the two expressions?
Say the same thing: superb scene fusion technology.
The world said: "Shi Li is famous for his subtle scenery, while Wang Shi is good at lyricism." . Emotion comes from the scene, and emotion is contained in the scene, which is also the common feature of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Perhaps Li Bai writes scenes mostly, while Wang Changling pays more attention to lyrical narration. In essence, the relationship between emotion and scenery is closely combined, but the way of writing scenery and expressing emotion is different. One is to write the scene separately, such as the above sentence focuses on the scene and the next sentence focuses on the feeling, that is, the scene gives birth to the feeling; One is to express feelings from the scenery, which contains feelings. No matter what technique they use, whether they write about scenery or express their feelings, they can blend together without trace, which is their similarity.
Wang Changling's handling in the first part is very distinctive. For example, the first three sentences of Seven Military Poems (Part I) and The Hundred-foot Building with a Fire in the West of the City describe the environment, which creates an atmosphere through in-depth and repeated rendering, paving the way for the fourth lyric sentence, highlighting the position of the lyric sentence and making it particularly powerful. "The hundred-foot building in the west of the bonfire city" points out the desolate and boundless environment, and "sitting alone at dusk" in the autumn wind makes people homesick. This sentence, which is also full of emotion and scenery, was completed without trace. "Guan Shanyue, who plays Qiangdi, is even worse, without the worry of Mrs. Kim Wan Li." The transition from scene to emotion. No wonder Hu Yinglin's poem said that Wang Changling's quatrain "Thank the furnace hammer mark." .
Li Bai, the first sentence is about scenery, and the second sentence is about feelings. There are many chapters. Five poems about Dongting with Ye Lang, assistant minister of punishments of my uncle, and Jia Sheren, a Chinese scholar (part two);
In the autumn night, the south lake is clear of water and smoke. How can you ride the sky? Let Dongting Lake enjoy some moonlight on credit and enjoy the moon and drink happily.
The first sentence is about scenery, seasons and boating. In the realm of moonlight purification, it is the easiest for people to forget all trivial gains and losses in the world, to extrapolate, to touch the scene, and to arouse the idea of "fallen immortals", just like the following sentence: "Ride patiently and flow straight to heaven."
Speaking of the second kind: "Emotion is contained in scenery", Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth" said: There is my realm, but there is no my realm. In fact, it refers to the difference between touching the scene and writing it with love, and the difference between the scene and the scene. "Scenery written by love" and "Scenery made by love" belong to the second category. There are three ways to write scenery with love: one is to choose scenery suitable for lyricism; One is to transform the scenery that is not suitable for lyricism; The third is to turn ruthlessness into sentience through anthropomorphic means. These three points are Li Bai's characteristics. 1, the scenery he wrote is sometimes magnificent and sometimes quiet, such as watching Lushan Waterfall;
"Rizhao incense burner gives birth to purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs thousands of rivers. Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days. " Exaggerated natural, novel and true, colorful and magnificent images are the poet's bold and unrestrained spiritual expression.
Emei Mountain Moon Song:
"Emei Mountain half moon autumn, shadow into the flat Qiang water. Qingxi went to the Three Gorges at night, and the four gentlemen did not see Yuzhou. " This poem was written by young Li Baichu when he left Sichuan. When he left his native land, he couldn't help but be reluctant to part. The artistic images of the quiet mountains and the moon become the catalyst of poetry. Or magnificent or quiet scenery is often suitable for his character, and his feelings are the first: choose scenery suitable for lyricism to write.
2, "question and answer in the mountains":
"I asked Yu, what does it mean that he lives in Bishan? I just smiled and was idle. Peach blossoms have all flowed away, and there is no heaven and earth. " This is a seven-verse poem. Although it describes the scenery of flowers passing by, there is no sense of decline. But to render and appreciate it as charming beauty. Is "there is a world that is not human." This is the second type: transforming scenery that is not suitable for lyricism.
3. The above-mentioned "I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left to sign a dragon and sent it far away" and "the bright moon" and the sad heart sent by the wind are the third kind: using anthropomorphic methods to turn ruthlessness into sentience.
In fact, these three technologies are all manifested in the field of scene integration.
And Wang Changling is also a master of lyrical writing from scenery, including scenery. Seven poems about military service (4);
"Qinghai Yunchang Snow Mountain is dark, and the lonely city looks at Yumenguan. The yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and the loulan is not returned. " The first three sentences are permeated with rich and complicated feelings: the frontier soldiers' concern for the frontier situation, their pride and sense of responsibility for the task, and the loneliness and hardship of frontier life are all integrated in the tragic, open and misty scenery.
Join the army, the first part:
"Pipa dance new sound, always close to the old love. I can't stop, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall. " There are movements, acoustics, frontier scenery, new sounds, old feelings, provocative rhythms, dancing shadows, the autumn moon on the head and the Great Wall at the foot, all of which are woven into people's ancient, provocative, bleak and endless homesickness. The scene blends to the point where you can't tell which sentence is scenery writing and which sentence is romance.
In this way, whether writing scenery or expressing feelings, they can be accommodated without trace, which is their similarity.
In short, the difference between Shi Li's poem "flowing away naturally" and Wang Shi's poem "hammering, shearing and washing" is the same, but it is integrated into the scene to the maximum extent.
Li Bai's seven characteristics are: free use of allusions, strange and rich artistic exaggeration, mellow charm, harmonious and smooth syllables and so on. Wang Changling's four characteristics are: tenderness and tenderness, deep affection and sincerity; Good at grasping a fragment and a shot to express profound content, seeing the big from the small. I won't go into details here. Generally speaking, they have similarities and differences in subject matter and expression techniques. In a very simple sentence, express the truest feelings as much as possible, and win more with less. This is the beauty of quatrains. Poetry is the most refined literature, and quatrains are characterized by "making waves with water". It shows the highest realm of ancient people's study of "refining ci" and "refining meaning" in China traditional culture. As the "seven masters", Li Bai and Wang Changling's works can be called the quintessence of China. If contemporary poetry fails, it should be a good thing that they can carry forward.
