Li Shang Tang Yong Li Bai
original text
Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars into Wan Li.
If the wind weakens, it can still lift away the turbulent current.
When the world saw my unchanging tone, it sneered at all my big words.
Fu Xuan can still fear the afterlife, but her husband can't be young.
translate
One day, Dapeng will fly with the wind, and with the wind, it will go straight to the outside world.
Even if the wind stops, its power seems to be able to draw the sea away.
When the world saw that I was good at making strange remarks, they all laughed at my rhetoric.
Confucius also said that the afterlife is awesome, and a gentleman cannot despise young people!

Creation background
From 7 19 to 9 (72 1), Li Yong was the secretariat of Yuzhou (now Chongqing). When Li Bai visited Chongqing, he paid an audience with Li Yong. Li Yong was unhappy because he was informal and talked about Wang Ba. According to the history books, Li Yong was "quite conceited" (Biography of Li Yong in Old Tang Dynasty). He was conceited and had a good reputation, but he had reservations about being young and backward. Li Bai was dissatisfied with this, and when he left, he wrote this poem "Li Shangyong" in a rather rude manner to show his return.
