"Nanling Farewell Children Entering Beijing"

The white wine is newly ripe and returning to the mountains, and the yellow chickens peck at the millet in autumn.

The children cook chicken and drink white wine, while the children sing and laugh and hold people's clothes.

Sing high to get drunk and masturbate, dance to the sunset for glory.

It is not early to persuade people to take advantage of all the hardships, and to travel long distances on horseback with a whip.

The foolish woman in Kuaiji bought the minister lightly, so I resigned from home and went west to the Qin Dynasty.

Look up to the sky and laugh and go out. How can I be a Penghao person?

Laughing up to the sky and going out, how can we be the people of Penghao

Meaning: Laughing up to the sky, laughing up to the sky, going out for the journey, full of poems, books and economics, how can we bury it? How can the people be willing to be mediocre?

Appreciation of the work:

Li Bai was summoned to Beijing by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This poem was written when he was bidding farewell to his children. There is no concealment of joy in the poem. The poet only said "Farewell children" and used the allusion of "Foolish Woman in Kuaiji", which is an accusation. Zhan Ang's "Talking about Li Bai's "The Children of Nanling Farewell and Entering Beijing"" (contained in the first issue of "Literary and Historical Knowledge" in 1983) believes that this poem "compares Liu to a 'foolish woman in Kuaiji'".

Li Bai always had lofty ambitions. He was determined to "apply Guan Yan's talk, seek the emperor's skills, use his wisdom, and be willing to assist the emperor, so that the Huan District will be settled and Hai County will be unified" (" Dai Shoushan's reply to Meng Shaofu's transfer of documents"). But there was no chance of realization for a long time. In 742 (the first year of Tianbao), Li Bai was forty-two years old. He was extremely excited when he received an edict from Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoning him to Beijing. He believed that the time had come to realize his political ideals, so he immediately returned to his home in Nanling, said goodbye to his children, and wrote this passionate seven-character poem.

The beginning of the poem depicts a scene of a good harvest: "The white wine is newly ripe and returns to the mountains, and the yellow chickens peck the millet in autumn." This not only points out that the time to return home is the autumn ripening season, but also that the white wine is ripe in the autumn. The newly ripe, yellow chicken pecking at the millet shows a cheerful atmosphere, which sets off the poet's elated mood and pave the way for the following description.

Then, the poet took several close-up "shots" to further exaggerate the joy. Li Bai always loved drinking, and he was even more enthusiastic about drinking at this time. As soon as he entered the house, he "called the children to cook chicken and drink white wine" with a high-spirited expression, which seemed to be celebrating the imperial edict. The poet's emotions infected his family, "the children laughed and held people's clothes", this sentiment is real and moving. As if drinking alcohol was not enough to express excitement, he then "singed loudly to satisfy his drunken desires and danced to win the glory of the setting sun." He drank heavily and sang loudly to express his pleasure. After drinking heavily, he stood up and danced with his sword. The sword's gleaming light competed with the setting sun. In this way, through several typical scenes of children laughing, drinking happily, singing and dancing, the poet's joyful mood is vividly expressed. On this basis, the poet's inner world is further described.

"It's not too early to endure all the hardships, and ride on horses for long distances with a whip." Here the poet uses ups and downs of expression, using "it's not too early to be bitter" to contrast the poet's joyful mood. At the same time, in the moment of joy, , and also has the feeling of "bitterness is not early", which is a true reflection of the poet's tortuous and complicated mood. Precisely because he wished he could see the emperor earlier and express his political opinions, he straddled his horse and whipped his whip, eager to run the long distance in one go. "Bitterness is not early" and "Straddle the horse with a whip" show the poet's hope and eagerness.

"The foolish woman in Kuaiji bought the minister lightly, and I resigned from home and went west to Qin Dynasty." The poem begins with "bitterness is not early" and is naturally associated with Zhu Maichen, who was successful in his later years. According to the "Book of Han Zhu Maichen Biography" (see the original text in the work notes): Zhu Maichen, a native of Kuaiji, had a poor family in his early years and made a living by selling firewood. He often carried firewood and read while walking. His wife disliked his poverty and left him. Later, Zhu Maichen was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the prefect of Kuaiji. The "Foolish Woman of Kuaiji" in the poem refers to Zhu Maichen's wife. Li Bai compared those secular villains who were short-sighted and looked down upon him to "foolish women in Kuaiji". However, he compared himself with Zhu Maichen, thinking that like Zhu Maichen, he would be able to rise to the top if he went west to Chang'an, and his pride was palpable.

The poetry has been deduced layer by layer, and at this point, the waves of emotion surge to a climax. "Looking up to the sky and laughing and going out, we are not Penghao people." "Laughing up to the sky" is a very proud look; "How can we be Penghao people" is a very conceited mentality, and the poet's complacent image is vividly expressed.

Because this poem describes a major event in Li Bai's life, it has special significance for understanding Li Bai's life experience, thoughts and feelings. It also has its own characteristics in artistic expression. This poem is good at expressing emotions in narrative.

The poet's description from returning home to leaving home has a beginning and an end. The whole article uses a style that directly states the story, but also uses metaphors. It has both positive description and foil. The poet's ingenuity is not a straight road to the end, but from the outside to the inside, with twists and turns, ups and downs, pushing the emotions to the climax layer by layer. It's like the ups and downs of waves. When one wave fails, another wave arises, making the feelings stronger and finally erupting. The whole poem is full of ups and downs, expressing the feelings sincerely and vividly.
