| The writing of things and me is one of the persistent creative themes in Bai Juyi’s whole life.In the literary world,Bai Juyi pays great attention to things,which is closely related to his life situation.For Bai Juyi,things are not only the carrier of personal feelings and ideals,but also the companionship and comfort in real life,as well as the intermediary of interpersonal interaction.The poet pours meticulous emotions into the description of things in all stages of life,and sees me with things.This is Bai’s unique writing of things and self,which shows Bai Juyi’s feelings and internal mentality,and highly focuses on the individual’s internal emotional needs.Through this analysis,we can fully understand the more vivid inner details of the poet in different life circumstances,so as to get close to and restore the real image of Bai Juyi.Bai Juyi’s literary writing involves a wide range of things,which can be roughly divided into three categories: "friends",such as plants,birds and birds,piano stones,and daily necessities such as clothing,shoes,food and so on.These things are the intersection of Bai Juyi’s literary world and inner mentality,from which we can see the poet’s choices and aspirations under different life circumstances.This paper is divided into five chapters and will discuss this issue from five aspects.The first chapter is a general overview of Bai Juyi’s life in the Mid-Tang Dynasty,the scholar-forest atmosphere of being addicted to things and my own understanding of things.Since the creation of youth,Bai Juyi has paid great attention to things.The poet’s writing of things is closely related to his life experience.Based on the iconic events such as his demotion to Jiangzhou and his appointment to the south of the Yangtze River,the poet can be divided into three stages.The poet’s description of things in literature is not only the result of actively inheriting the literary tradition,but also the careful observation,appreciation,characterization,sharing and recording of objects in reality,which makes things mixed between virtual writing and real writing.exists in solitude and appreciation with friends.The second chapter,from the perspective of chanting objects,analyzes the gradual change of Bai Juyi’s view of his state of mind.During the Yuan Dynasty,Bai Juyi was keen on the description of "lonely and straight" things and "Jian bottom" things,which reflected his introduction to his official career and his depression of being demoted for no reason.During the last years of Daiwa and Huichang,Bai Juyi described a series of birds,insects and pond cranes,and used them to describe,persuade and warn themselves.There is a great contrast in the poet’s writing about the relationship between things and me.Through comparison,it can be found that the specific details of the change of the poet’s mentality are implied in the chanting,which is the key to the detailed analysis of the poet’s change from "concurrent economy" to "unique goodness".The third chapter analyzes Bai Juyi’s strong desire for possession,enjoyment and the satisfaction of leisure and happiness when living in leisure.The poet has a strong demand and sensitivity to material things,which stems from his lonely and cold background and his weak and sickly physique.His later promotion and salary increase enabled him to make material improvements.As a result,he successively built and bought three garden-style houses in Lushan thatched cottage,Xinchang residence and walkway house.The frequent expressions of "garden owner" and "Wulu" in the poem show a strong sense of possession.Not only that,he is also used to living in leisure to enjoy the physical and mental satisfaction of all kinds of things.This is shown incisively and vividly in my writing about his daily use of clothing and food,playing piano and chess well,and so on.The fourth chapter,the unique significance of the analyte to Bai Juyi’s spiritual companionship and comfort,and reveals that this is the poet’s emotional alternative satisfaction.In the complex reality,Bai Juyi is in a specific "life dilemma" and "emotional dilemma".He is extremely dependent on friendship and companionship and is overly sensitive to personal loneliness.However,in the outside world,the complicated situation and interpersonal entanglements of political parties not only can not fully meet his need for friendship and companionship,but make him physically and mentally exhausted.He longed for the confiding,sustenance and companionship of his soul.As a result,he substituted things for others,taking things as his companions,friends and even bosom friends to meet the emotional needs of his heart.In fact,this is a kind of emotional alternative satisfaction.The fifth chapter explores the social relationship caused by Bai Juyi as a social intermediary,and analyzes the poet’s inner character and mentality.Bai Juyi not only has a personal penchant for things,but also often exchanges and shares things with friends.He feels the friendship and emotional experience condensed in things in inviting,giving and thinking about things.But in this process,there are also unexpected embarrassments and conflicts.Pei du asks the crane as an example.In this process,Bai Juyi showed entanglement,hesitation,tradeoff and forbearance,which supplemented and enriched the details of his character and mentality.Similarly,there is an invitation to "love concubines for horses".His special case of writing and attitude towards these "objectified lower-class women" is also another perspective to find and discover the rich psychological characteristics of the poet.In a word,the writing of things and selves runs through Bai Juyi’s life,whether from chanting and expressing aspirations,lyric living in leisure,or communication,all of which show the poet’s more vivid side in detail.From this analysis,we may approach and understand the more vivid and real Bai Juyi. |
