李白在商州的诗歌创作探析

Analysis of Li Bai's Poems on Shangzhou

李白被排挤,出长安时经过了商州。在商州的创作中以吟咏四皓的内容居多。商州经历和四皓的事迹对李白产生了较大的冲击,使他加深了对社会的认识,他在此后的诗歌创作不仅批判奸佞小人,而且把矛头指向了唐玄宗,批判唐玄宗的荒淫昏聩导致贤才失路,国家动荡;同时也对李白的价值观念产生了冲击,他不再仅仅把个人价值的实现寄托于社会的认可,而且更加注重才华、人格的价值,追求自我完善,他的价值追求发生了由外向内的转变。

Li Bai passed Shangzhou when he was isolated by influential officials and aristocrats and left Chang’an. When staying at Shangzhou, he created poems which are mainly about four hermits living in Shang Mountain. His understanding of the four hermits strengthened his understanding of society. In his later process of poetry creation, he not only criticized those sycophant and vile persons, but criticized Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty whose dissolute and fatuous behaviors led to consequences that talented persons lost opportunities to exert their talents and the country became turbulent. Besides, Li Bai’s poetry creation on the four hermits also contributed to Li Bai′s change of values. He no longer believed that individual value could be realized through social recognition, but paid more attention to the talent, value of personality and self-perfection. From then on, he began to pursue intrinsic value.
