Long Songs is the work of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a five-character ancient poem with the theme of ancient Yuefu, which expresses the author's strong desire to make contributions at an early date and make a name for himself through the ages. This poem consists of twenty sentences, which are divided into two parts, with ten sentences as one part. The thoughts are connected before and after, which shows the author's mental process of interaction between reason and cognition.
The original poem is:
Peaches and plums will bloom in the sun, and glory will shine in that year.
The east wind moves everything, and the grass speaks the heart.
Dead branches have no ugly leaves, and dry water spits out clear springs.
Heaven and earth were vigorously transported, and xi's whip did not stop.
If you don't become famous early, what will Zhusi say?
When Tao and Li were young, who could live their lives?
Wealth and immortality are wasted into two losses.
Stones are still on sale, but the wind and frost have no long-term quality.
Fear of the sunset, singing and drinking are strong.
Autumn frost suddenly invaded Liu Pu at any cost.
Translation:
Peach blossoms and plum blossoms bloom in the sun, colorful and decorated the Spring Festival.
The east wind revived everything, and everything seemed to be blooming.
Beautiful new leaves have grown on the dead branches, and fresh spring water is flowing in the dry stream, which is full of vitality.
Naturally running the world, the sun keeps running on the Japanese train.
If you don't make a name for yourself early, how can you make your name go down in history?
Peach and plum must stay in spring, but who can make spring stay forever?
Time waits for no one, and the rich and the immortal will pass.
The power of the stone will be worn away, and nothing will last forever in the wind, frost and sun.
I was so afraid that the sun and the moon would fly, so I sang and drank, thinking it was fun.
Just like the willow trees in first frost in autumn, suddenly, I am old and my health is failing!

Creative background:
Long Songs is a Yuefu poem written by Li Bai, which is based on the old theme of Yuefu. It is difficult to verify the specific time of his creation, but it can be seen from the content of his creation that it must have been written after the third year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (744), that is, "Giving Gold to the Mountain". Only in this way can he express the deep and endless sadness of "being rich and immortal, wasting two", thus "singing hard and drinking hard" If you don't have personal experience and experience, you shouldn't cry for so long.
This poem touches this feeling, combines this principle and expresses the soul. His poetry is close to Entering Wine, Three Difficult Poems and Twelve Nights of Answering the King. Li Bai, who launched the Anshi Rebellion, fell into a frenzy of worrying about the country, so it seems that he did not have it in his later years after the Anshi Rebellion.
