The eighty-second day of punching in Tang poetry: Li Bai's first trip out of Sichuan

Li Bai bid farewell to his friends at Jingmen Ferry.

Sail from Jingmen Ferry, and soon you will be with southerners.

At the end of the mountain range and the beginning of the plain, the river winds through the wilderness.

The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces.

The water brings you the feeling of home and makes your boat travel 300 miles.

Note Jingmen: The mountain name is in the northwest of Yidu County, Hubei Province.

Phantom: A mirage.

Hometown water: refers to the Yangtze River. Li Bai lived in Sichuan in his early years and pretended to say this.

Translated from West Shu, outside Jianmen, along the Yangtze River,

Came to the territory of Chu for a trip.

Chongshan gradually disappeared with the appearance of wilderness,

The Yangtze River flows slowly into the wilderness.

The shadow of the moon is reflected in the river, like a flying mirror.

Clouds form a mirage.

I still cherish the water in my hometown,

Wan Li kept my boat afloat during the trip.

In the 14th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty (726), the poet went to East Sichuan with the feeling of "going to the countryside with a sword and leaving his relatives to travel far away". This poem was written on the way to travel far away. From the perspective of poetry, the poet and the sender are in the same boat, and the addressee is in the boat. In Qing Dynasty, Shen Deqian thought that there was no meaning of "don't" in the poem, and the word "don't" in the title could be deleted. This is not true. Although this poem is intended to describe mountains and rivers, on reflection, the meaning of "farewell" still exists, which shows the great skill.

"The mountains are flat and primitive, and the rivers meander in the wilderness" is similar to Du Fu's "The stars bend over the open ground, and the moon flows up the river" in skills. Or think that Li is sailing and browsing, while Du is stopping to observe carefully. This statement makes sense.

This poem was written by Li Bai to bid farewell to his hometown when he left Shu for Jingmen in his youth.

The poet has been living in Sichuan since he recited the Six Commandments at the age of five, and he has deep feelings for the mountains and rivers in Sichuan.

This time, I left my hometown, sent Qingxi, went to the Three Gorges, went to Yuzhou, crossed Jingmen, and went boating to the east, intending to "be poor in the south and involved in the sea in the east."

This is the first time that the poet left his hometown and began to roam around the country, ready to realize his ideals and ambitions.

Down the Yangtze River, out of Sichuan, you will naturally see the mountains getting flatter and wider, that is, at the end of the mountains, the plains begin, and the rivers meander through the wilderness.

The poet's feeling of parting is revealed in this precise wording. ...
