-From where?
Li Bai's Daily Travel in Tang Dynasty
-the original poem.
The sunrise in the east seems to come from the ground.
After a long day, I went to the sea again. Where are the six dragons?
Its beginning and end are endless, and people can linger with it for a long time without energy?
The grass does not thank it for its glory in the spring breeze, and the trees do not complain about the fallen leaves in autumn.
Who wields the spurs and drives the four great wealth? Everything has its ups and downs, which is natural.
Xi him! Xi him! Are you lost in the wild waves?
What is the virtue of Luyang, fighting at the scene?
There are many false accusations against the law and discipline.
I will include a large piece and share the same theme with you!
-Poetry translation.
The sun rises in the east and seems to come from underground.
Year after year, day after day, it crossed the sky and disappeared in the West Sea.
Since ancient times, it has never been like this. Man is not vitality, how can he last as long as the sun?
Flowers and plants don't thank the caress of spring breeze, and leaves don't complain about the withering of autumn wind.
Where can I catch the four seasons with a whip? In fact, the rise and fall of everything is determined by nature.
He, he, who told you to bring the sun into the sea?
What virtue does Luyang have to go to Japan to fight?
These legends are contrary to heaven, which is really ridiculous!
I want to be one with heaven and earth, and I want to be an upright and energetic person.

-Creative background.
There was an article in Yuefu in the Han Dynasty called "The sun enters and the moon rises", which said that the sun goes in and out endlessly and people's life is limited, so they dreamed of riding six dragons to become immortals. Li Bai's poems are written in the opposite direction. This poem is based on reality rather than reasoning out of thin air.
-Appreciation of works.
There is also a chapter in Yuefu in the Han Dynasty called "The sun enters and the moon rises", chanting that the sun goes in and out endlessly and people's life is limited, so they dream of riding six dragons to become immortals. Li Bai's song is intended to be contrary to his original intention. He believes that sunrise, sunset and the change of seasons are all manifestations of natural laws, and people cannot violate and surpass them. Only by obeying it, conforming to it and integrating with nature can this be in line with human nature. This thought shows the brilliance of simple materialism.
Every poem has three rhymes, and the lyrical expression of the author will gradually advance and deepen with the change of rhyme. In the first six sentences, the sun rises in the west and sets in the west. According to ancient mythology, xi drives six dragons every day and carries the sun god from east to west in the sky. But Li Bai believes that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, which is its own law, not what "god" is directing and manipulating. Otherwise, "where are the six dragons?" Meaning: Where do the six dragons stay? This is a rhetorical question, which actually denies the possibility of the existence of Six Dragons. Of course, He's trip to Japan is absurd and incredible. The sun is always running, and people can't rise and fall with it unless they are full of energy. The word "wandering" is used wonderfully. The sun rises and sets in the west, just like a man wandering, how vivid it is. In this passage, the poet used uncertain and uncertain words such as "like", "safe" and "safe" one after another, and even used two questions to ask questions, so as to arouse readers' deep thinking. The poet deliberately asks questions in a rhetorical way, without making a positive explanation, which makes the tone more positive and powerful.
The middle four sentences are about the rise and fall of vegetation and everything, all of which are manifestations of natural laws. They are self-indulgent. There is no need to thank anyone for their brilliance, and there is no need to hate anyone for their depravity, because there is no supernatural "god" who dominates the changes of the four seasons. These four poems are the focus and core of the whole article. The words "Cao Bu" and "Mu Bu", together with two "No", strengthen the affirmative tone and appear decisive and powerful. The problem of "who wields a whip to urge the four blessings" further strengthens this momentum. The word "who" is especially worth thinking about. To this question, the author's answer is: "Everything rises and falls naturally." The answer is absolute, not God, but nature. This sentence is simple and firm, giving people a sense of urgency.
In the last eight sentences, the poet first questioned the legendary Hercules who rode the sun and waved back the sun in two sentences, and cast a sneer: Why, why, how did you sink into the boundless waves? Lu Yanggong, what can you do to stop the sun? This is Qu Yuan's "Tian Wen" brushwork. Here, Li Bai not only inherited Qu Yuan's romantic expression, but also had more exploration spirit than Qu Yuan. Li Bai is not only asking questions, but more importantly answering them. Since everything in the universe has its own laws, it is unrealistic, impossible and self-deceiving to stubbornly violate this natural law ("falsehood is more than truth"). According to Li Bai's point of view, the correct attitude should be to conform to the laws of nature, integrate with nature (that is, "vitality", that is, "verve"), and mentally contain and occupy ("include") the universe ("block"). When people do this, they can reach the realm of "life and death together".
When western literary theorists talk about positive romanticism, they often like to summarize its characteristics with three "big": great breath, great strength and great talent. This feature is fully reflected in Li Bai. In Li Bai's poems, huge and magnificent images about Dapeng, Tianma, Yangtze River, Yellow River and famous mountains and rivers have repeatedly appeared. If all Li Bai's poems are compared to a symphony, then these grand images are the dominant melody and the most prominent and recurring theme movements in this symphony. In these grand images, there is always a living soul jumping, which is the poet's own personality. The poet wrote Dapeng: "The universe is close to the universe, and Kunlun Mountain is close to Yu Ling. A drum and a dance, the smoke is hazy and the sand is faint, the five mountains are shocking, and all rivers flow "("Fu Dapeng "); The poet wrote about Tianma: "Whispering about Qingyun, vibrating green hair", "Tengkunlun, experiencing the West Pole", "Red Sweating" and "Yue Long Tianqu" (Ge). The mountain written by the poet is: "Taibai speaks to me and opens the sky for me." I would like to ride the wind straight out of the clouds "("Climbing Taibai Peak "); The water written by the poet is: "The Yellow River falls into the East China Sea, and Wan Li leans over" (for Pei XIV). Li Bai always loves to write magnificent and extraordinary natural images, and in these images, he reveals such a big tone and is full of such great strength and talent. The reason lies in the last two sentences of this song, "I will cover a lot, I will be noble and have the same topic!" " This is the poet's self-image of "Heaven and Earth coexist with me" and "Everything is one with me". This "self" which can be the same as "mud" is the source of Li Bai's spiritual strength and the ideological basis of his romantic creation method.
Li Bai was deeply influenced by Laozi and Zhuangzi and worshipped Taoism. Once, I devoted myself to studying Taoism, dreaming of becoming an immortal and enjoying the happiness of immortality. But judging from this poem, he doubts and denies this kind of thinking and action of "going against the sky". He actually denied his behavior with his own poems. This reflects the poet's ambivalence.
This poem, in terms of expression, combines narrative, lyricism and reasoning, which not only jumps out of vague lyricism, but also avoids abstract reasoning. It is to see reason in love, to be affectionate in reason, and to learn from each other. Myths and legends frequently appear in poems, which are full of rich and passionate romanticism. However, in the refutation, ridicule and negative description of personnel in myths and legends, the poet euphemistically pointed out the idea of "Heaven is natural", which is very comfortable and appropriate, and emotion and reason blend together. Poems use miscellaneous sentences, ranging from two to nine sentences, which are eclectic and flexible. Among them, the questions or answers are ups and downs, expressing profound philosophy and being argumentative and persuasive. The whole poem is light, lively and dignified.
