Translation: Dapeng flies and vibrates the eight poles, and the heavens are overwhelmed. Although it is destroyed, the rest of the wind can still stir up eternity, swim in Fusang and hang on the left wing; Although the strength is not enough, future generations can pass on this deed, but there is no Confucius in the world, who can cry for my destruction?

Appreciation: "Dying Song" is Li Bai's long song to cry; In the form of the text, it can be regarded as Li Bai's self-written epitaph. Throughout his life, Li Bai had lofty ideals, but was also very persistent in his ideals, and pursued his ideals all his life.

This "Deathbed Song" allows us to see that when he reviews and summarizes his life, he reveals his incomparable nostalgia for life and deep regret for not being able to make the best use of his talents. After reading this poem, I will think about it in a trance, and I will feel that the poet seems to have really turned into a big peng flying in the nine heavens, and the small branch will not be able to hang it after all, it will soar on the eternal canopy of heaven and be admired by future generations.

Writing background: This poem is Li Xun's rebellion against Suzong, was eliminated, Li Bai was implicated, was sentenced to exile in Yelang (now Guizhou Province), was pardoned and released on the way, and traveled back and forth in Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), Xuancheng (now Xuancheng, Anhui) and other places. In the first year of Dai Zongbao (762 AD), he died of illness in Dangtu County, Anhui Province.

In 762, the first year of Baoying, the 62-year-old Li Bai was recuperating in Dangtu, and in the winter, he was seriously ill. In November, he died of "Dying Song". Buried in Longshan, Dangtu County, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province.

Yan Yu, a poet critic of the Southern Song Dynasty, said in "Canglang Poems": "Poets have a temperament." The most basic feature of poetry, and its greatest charm, is that it is full of the poet's thoughts and feelings.

The expression of thoughts and feelings is undoubtedly the richest and most shocking for a poet before his death. For example, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "How sad can you be?" Just like a river flowing eastward", Lu You's "dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, but the sadness is not the same in Kyushu" and so on.

The poem "Song of the Road" shared with you in this article is a poem written by Li Bai, the greatest poet of our country, before his death. In this poem, Li Bai summed up his life in only the first 14 words, and sighed the pathos of his life's unfulfilled ambitions, which shocked people and hit the heart. At the same time, this poem also reveals Li Bai's incomparable nostalgia for life.

Let's take a look at Li Bai's "Song of the Road":

Dapeng Fei Zhen Eight Descendants, Zhongtian is not strong.

The rest of the wind is agitated for eternity, and you Fusang hangs on the left.

Later generations have passed on this, who is the one who is dead!

First of all, in the first two sentences of the poem, "Dapeng Fei Xi Zhen Eight Descendants, Zhongtian is not strong enough to destroy it", Li Bai summarized his life in only 14 words. That is, Li Bai compared himself with Dapeng, saying that he had vibrated in all directions in his life, but when he flew into the air, his wings were destroyed, and he was unable to soar from then on. Combined with Li Bai's experience in this life, the "Zhenba descendants" here include things such as Li Bai's edict to enter Beijing.

And "Zhongtian devastation" refers to the setbacks suffered in Chang'an.

Reading these 14 words carefully, just like what Xiang Yu said in "Song of the Fall", "Pull out the mountain and cover the world, and the times are not good and will not pass away", it has the poet's infinite pathos and emotional meaning, which is really shocking. Li Bai's life, although it is said that he has a chic side, is still more pathetic about his untimely birth and unfulfilled ambitions. And the state of mind expressed by Li Bai before his death is actually of typical significance in ancient times.

There are about more than 1,000 poems, and more than 900 of them are included in the whole Tang Dynasty poems.

Li Bai was born in the Tang Dynasty, when he was already old during the Anshi Rebellion, so most of Li Bai's poems are romantic and heroic, whether it is a seven-character poem or a five-character quatrain, it is a rare masterpiece in history, and it is the greatest romantic poet in China.

The overall style of his poems is fresh and handsome, which not only reflects the prosperity of the times, but also exposes the absurdity and corruption of the ruling class, showing a positive spirit of contempt for the powerful, rebellion against the constraints of tradition, and the pursuit of freedom and ideals.

Li Bai wrote about 1,000 poems in his lifetime.
