-Poems and songs from Du Fu and Li Bai

Wang Guowei wrote in "Words on Earth": "Poets must be inside and outside the universe. Enter it so that you can write; Outside it, we can see it. If you enter it, you will be angry; Beyond it, it is high. "

From this passage of Mr. Wang Guowei, the first thing I realized was the poet's "entry into the WTO" and "birth". "Joining the WTO" means that the poet should face the reality directly, that is, "joining the WTO". "Transcendence" refers to the poet's detachment from reality, that is, "being born".

From "entering WTO" and "being born", I naturally think of two great poets in the Tang Dynasty-Du Fu and Li Bai.

Du Fu should belong to the representative of the poets who entered the WTO. Many of his famous works were created on the basis of in-depth appreciation of real life. Without a deep understanding of the fact that Tang's belligerence led to the displacement of ordinary people, he could write a poem "My parents and wife are going to bid farewell until the dust buried the outside of Chang 'an Bridge. They ran and cried with you, and they pulled your sleeve, and their sad voice rose to the clouds" and "You don't know that in 200 states and thousands of villages in Shandong, nothing grows except weeds, although strong women bend down to cultivate land. (Military Vehicle Shop)? If he didn't deeply understand the reality of the country's ruin caused by the "An Shi Rebellion", he could have written that "although the country is divided, the mountains and rivers will last forever, and all the plants are in spring". Where the petals flow like tears, lonely birds sing their sadness "(Hope in Spring)? If he didn't deeply appreciate the scenery of Dongting Lake on Yueyang Tower, could he write the poem "Wu in the east and Chu in the south, and see the endless drifting of heaven and earth" (Climbing Yueyang Tower)? He can write, "Where are my wife and son? There is not a trace of sadness on their faces. However, I packed my books and poems crazily. "If he didn't deeply realize the feelings of loyalists recovering Henan and Hebei. On that green spring day, I sang loudly, drank heavily and began to go home (The Yellow River was recaptured by the imperial army)? If he hadn't deeply realized his half-life wandering and miserable life, he could have written "fallen leaves are like waterfalls, and I think the long river is always rolling forward" I came from three thousand miles away. Sad this autumn, with my hundred years of sorrow, I climbed this height alone "("Ascending the Mountain ")? If he didn't have a deep understanding of the tragic life of a hut that was soaked in rain all night because of the autumn wind, he could have written "there are thousands of spacious buildings, and the poor in the world are happy, and the wind and rain are calm and peaceful." "Alas, suddenly seeing this house in front of me, it's enough for me to freeze to death alone ("the hut was broken by the autumn wind ")? ……

Li Bai should belong to the representative of a "born" poet, and many of his famous poems were created on the basis of his rejection and detachment from reality. It is precisely because of his aversion to court life that he wants to find an ideal realm that is different from reality and is not subject to any constraints, and then sends out, "This is the consistent way of human happiness, and all kinds of things will always flow to the East like water, so I want to leave you. I don't know how long? But let me raise a white deer on my green hillside and ride to you when I need you, Dashan. Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials whose sincere faces will never be seen? "("Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream "); It is out of infinite regret that his official career is not smooth that he thought of independence like an ancient hermit. "But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with a sword, our sorrow is still there, although we drown it with wine. Since the world can't satisfy our desire, I will loosen my hair tomorrow and take a fishing boat "("Xuanzhou Xie Tiao Building Farewell to School Shu Yun "); It is precisely because of his indignation that he is not understood and reused by others, so he wants to drown his sorrows by drinking. "Rich is not expensive bells and drums, let me never wake up drunk! . The ancient sages were lonely, and only the drinkers left their names "("Into the Wine "). ……

Some people often add the words "positive" and "negative" before "WTO entry" and "birth", which is meaningless. It is precisely because of these two completely different creative attitudes that it is possible for us to appreciate these two works with different styles today. In this sense, "joining the WTO" or "being born" is "positive".
