This is a poem written by Li Bai, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. The whole poem is as follows:
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
In the morning, the morning sun is shining all over the sky, and I am about to embark on my return journey. Looking up from the river, you can see the colorful clouds in Baidicheng, such as among the clouds, and the scenery is gorgeous! Jiangling, thousands of miles away, arrived in one day.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are constantly echoing. When the ape's crow was still ringing in his ears, the brisk boat had crossed the endless mountains.
This poem was written by Li Bai when he returned to Jiangling by boat. In the spring of the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (759), Li Bai was exiled to Yelang because of the Li Lin case in Wang Yong, and went to a relegated place via Sichuan. When I went to Baidi City, I suddenly received the news of pardon and was pleasantly surprised. Then I went to Jiangling by boat.
This poem describes the Yangtze River from Bai Di to Jiangling, where the water is fast and ships are flying. The first sentence is about the height of Baidicheng; The second sentence is written in Jiangling Road, and the ship is fast; Three sentences fly into the boat, accompanied by the sound of mountain shadows; Four sentences write that the boat is as light as nothing, pointing out that the water is like diarrhea. The whole poem combines the poet's happy mood after forgiveness with the grandeur of the countryside and the smooth and light sailing along the river. With exaggeration and whimsy, the writing is graceful and elegant, shocking the world, unpretentious, arbitrary and natural. Yang Shenzan, a Ming scholar, praised him: "You were scared to cry by the wind and rain!" The whole poem gives people a feeling of straightforwardness and ethereal. But we can't fully understand the whole poem only by looking at the bold momentum and elegant brushwork. The whole poem is permeated with a kind of passion produced by hardships, so there is pride and joy in grandeur and swiftness. The pleasure of the clippers left a broad imagination space for readers. In order to express this carefree mood, the poet also deliberately uses the rhymes of "emptiness", "return" and "mountain", which makes the whole poem particularly melodious, light and long.
