李白诗歌风格分期论略

用“飘逸”两字概括李白的诗风,既不符合李白的生活道路,也不符合李白的创作实践。细加考究,他之自然吐露感情,在各个时期,有着显著的不同风格。概括地说,出蜀前后主要是“飘逸”的;一入长安后主要是豪放的;而入长安后主要是于豪放之中时时发为幽愤和沉郁的慨叹,及至晚年流放夜郎就完全成为悽怆和悲壮了。

An Inquiry into Li Bai's Poems in Different Periods

Li Bai’s poetic style cannot be generalized with a word “elegance,” which can neither reflect his actual career, nor reveal his writing practice. After a careful consideration, we can conclude that his poetic style varied in different periods when he naturally expressed his feelings. Generally speaking, the poetic style was “elegant” about the time of his leaving Sichuan. Upon first arriving in Chang’an, it was vigorous and uninhabited and became unconstrained, and a little bit gloomy, regretful and resentful when he arrived in Chang’an the second time. In his remaining years, his poetic style turned to be entirely wretched, moving and tragic.
