Subjective color imagination, characteristic image type and word tone

Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was a man with a very distinct artistic personality. In the history of China's poetry, the artistic individuality of his works is also unique.

Li Bai's poetic creation has a strong subjective color, which is mainly manifested in paying attention to expressing heroism and passionate feelings, and rarely describing objective images and specific events in detail. Li Bai's poems often run through with unrestrained momentum, paying attention to galloping vertically and horizontally and in one go, and have the characteristics of winning with gas. Such as "On Li Yong": "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and shakes Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. " To compare Dapeng, it is not a carefree Dapeng of Zhuangzi style, but a Dapeng who bravely flies and causes shock and surprise. In this extraordinary momentum, it embodies self-confidence and enterprising ambition and independent personality strength. This is the reason why Li Bai's poems disturb eternity. As he said in the poem "Ode to the River": "Xing Han put pen to paper to shake the five mountains, and the poem became Cangzhou."

Free and easy temperament, arrogant and independent personality, approachable, and strong feelings come out of generate, which forms the distinctive features of Li Bai's lyric style. It is often explosive. Once the emotion is aroused, it gushes out without restraint, just like a raging and overflowing volcano in the sky. For example, "Singing Gao Song to Send Cen Zheng Jun" expressed indignation at the political darkness and the inversion of right and wrong:

Chickens gather for food and fight, and chickens fly alone without neighbors. Dragonflies laugh at dragons, and good and evil people are mixed. Well-dressed, not paid. If you nest, the shackles in the porch are different from the dragons in the dust?

Sad and angry, impassioned. With the change of cadence and rhythm, we can trace the ups and downs of emotional eruption when emotional impulse occurs, which makes people feel the shock of the soul directly. Another example is "Twelve Cold Nights to Answer the King", which expresses strong and intense feelings like running water from the beginning, and then an uncontrollable emotional wave breaks out:

You can't learn cockfighting from the golden distance and sit and hum a rainbow. You can't learn from Shu Ge. You went to Qinghai at night with a knife and took the purple robe of Xitu Shi Bao. Poetry is not worth a glass of water in the north window. The world turned around after hearing the news, just like the east wind shooting at a horse. Fisheye also laughed at me and said they were like the bright moon. Fists can't be eaten, and donkeys are proud of the spring breeze. "Zheyang" and "Huanghua" are popular, and Jin Jun listens to the Qin Qing number. It is strange that Ba people are willing to be cheap with Yangchun and Chu Yuanyuan. Gold powder is not handed over, and white head is despised by Confucianism. When we talk about a smile, it loses its color and flies scream.

This kind of emotional expression is completely Li Bai's style.

Combined with explosive emotional expression, the imagination of Li Bai's poems is unpredictable, often unreasonable and strange, such as: "How magnificent the Xiyue is! The Yellow River is like a silk sky, ... people roar, smash two mountains, and Hongbo sprays the East China Sea. " ("Xiyue Yuntai Song Send Dan Qiu Zi") "The Yellow River falls into the East China Sea, and Wan Li writes it in his heart." (For Pei Fourteen) "Didn't you see the lovely locks in the mirror of the high hall? Although it was silky black in the morning, it turned into snow at night?" ("I will enter the wine" "White hair and three thousands of feet, sorrow is like a long time." ("The Seventeen Songs of Qiupu", the fifteenth) "The ape makes white hair, and the length is silk." ("Seventeen Songs of Qiupu" (fourth) "The wind blows my heart and hangs Xianyang trees in the west." (Jin Xiang sends Wei Ba to Xijing) I really want to fall from the sky, which is incredible.

His strange imagination, usually an unusual connection, changes with the flow of emotions. There is a great leap between one imagination and the next, and the combination of images is also large-span, bizarre and dreamy, changing vertically and horizontally, and as smart as possible.

Associated with verve and rich imagination, there are many magnificent images in Li Bai's poems, including mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon. He seems to be particularly attracted by huge and spectacular things. Dapeng, giant fish, long whales, rivers, seas and snow-capped mountains are all objects he likes to recite. Li Bai described them in an unusually broad spatial background, which constituted a magnificent poetic image. Like, "I climbed to the top. I have a panoramic view of the world "In" Lu Shan Ge Yu Shi Lu Xuzhou ",the rivers are boundless and there is no return. Huang Yun and Wan Li moved the wind, and Jiuliu whirled around Bai Xuefeng. "The magnificent combination of images gives people a sense of sublimity. Another example is seeing a friend off at Jingmen Ferry: "This is the end of the mountain, the beginning of the plain, and the river winds through the wilderness. The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces. "The image is also extremely broad and spectacular.

However, there are many beautiful images in Li Bai's poems. For example, "In the mirror of pedestrians, in the screen of birds" (Qingxi Tour). "The green water is clear and the moon is clear, and the egrets fly under the moon" (The Song of Autumn Pu, part 13). "Bamboo is green under the stream, and lotus is fragrant in the mirror" ("Not in existence"). The jade steps are cold and dew, and the silk bottom is wet, which has been wandering for a long time. "。 Behind her closed window, why is she still waiting, looking at the glory of the autumn moon through the crystal glass? "("Jade Family "). These beautiful images of Qingxi, bright moon, egret, bamboo color and white dew have greatly enriched the artistic connotation of Li Bai's poems. So there are two kinds of images in Li Bai's poems: magnificent and beautiful.

Li Bai said in the poem "Looking at Nanshan to send a purple pavilion to send a hermit": "Sometimes white clouds rise and the sky unfolds. In my heart, I am not shallow. " He has an instinctive love for white transparent body, and the closest thing is the moon. When he was drinking with the moon alone, he said, "Until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us. The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring. I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. My shadow is rolling behind. " The image of the moon appears repeatedly in Li Bai's poems. In Li Bai's poems, the most commonly used color word is "white", followed by gold, cyan, yellow, green and purple. He is cheerful by nature and prefers bright colors to dark ones. The language style of Li Bai's poems is pure and bright, and bright and bright is the basic tone of his words. His poems, which are blurted out and unadorned, often show transparency, purity and dazzling brilliance, reflecting his noble personality of rejecting secular identity.
