The introduction to "Linjiang Immortal: The Rolling Water of the Yangtze River Passes East" is as follows:
"Linjiang Immortal" "The Rolling Water of the Yangtze River Passes East" is a poem written by Yang Shen, a writer of the Ming Dynasty, in Luzhou, Sichuan. The upper part of the poem chants about the eternity of the universe, the everlasting rivers, and the ever-present green mountains through historical phenomena, while all the heroes from generation to generation are fleeting. Xia Qing writes about the noble sentiments and broad-mindedness of the poet. Using the rise and fall of the past dynasties as a talking point and a joke to promote drinking shows the poet's disdain for the secular, indifferent and free and easy feelings. The tone of the whole poem is generous and tragic, which makes me feel soul-stirring and memorable when I read it, adding thousands of emotions to my heart.
The creative background is as follows:
In the third year of Jiajing (1524), Yang Shen, who was serving as editor of the Hanlin Academy at that time, was given the imperial rod and deprived of his official rank because of the "Great Rites Discussion". He was convicted and banished to Yongchang Guards in Yunnan until his death. After Yang Shen arrived in Yunnan, he was not depressed because he was exiled to the garrison. Instead, he often traveled around to observe the people's customs and sentiments, and often wrote poems and compositions to express his feelings. Yang Shen spent more than thirty years in Yunnan, often traveling between Bonan Lanjin, Cang'er Jinbi, Lin'ami, and Chengjiang Songming. His footprints were almost all over Yunnan.
Everywhere Yang Shen went, he would discuss poetry with local scholars and left behind a large number of poems.
According to research, Yang Sheng'an returned to Sichuan seven times during his 35 years of exile, "went to and from Yunnan 14 times" and passed through Luzhou 15 times. The first draft of "Linjiang Fairy" was written in Luzhou (Jiangyang), and the inspiration came from Luzhou Wharf. At the same time, it was also written as the opening line of the third paragraph of "Twenty-One Histories Tanci", "Speaking of the Qin and Han Dynasties".
