Shang Liyong's Writing Background

Li Shangyong is the work of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he was young. 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.

Dapeng is an image that Li Bai often uses to describe himself in his poems and Fu. It is not only a symbol of freedom, but also a symbol of shocking ideals and interests. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725), Li Bai, a young boy, wandered out of Sichuan and met Sima Cheng, a famous Taoist in Jiangling. Sima said that Li Bai "has a kind of spirit, which is comparable to that of a wanderer in the octupole", and Li Bai immediately wrote "Dapeng Bird Fu" (later changed to "Dapeng Fu"), comparing himself to the Dapeng bird in Zhuangzi's "Happy Wandering".

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 people see my unchanging tone, they scoff at all my big talk.

Fu Xuan can still fear the afterlife, but her husband can't be young.

Vernacular translation:

It's windy in Dapeng one day, soaring to the height of nine Wan Li. If you stop when the wind stops, it will have enough power to lift the sea water out of the sea. When people see that I like to say strange things, they all laugh at my big talk. Confucius also said that man is born to be feared, and a gentleman cannot despise young people!
