The next sentence of "Dapeng rises with the wind in one day" is "It skyrockets ninety thousand miles".
In the poem, Li Bai compares himself with the Dapeng: "The Dapeng rises with the wind in one day and soars up to ninety thousand miles. If the wind stops and comes down, it can still win over the water." It is said that this magical bird is so big that "I don't know how many thousands of miles it is" and "its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky." When its wings flap into the water, it is three thousand miles away, and it can soar up to ninety thousand miles. inside.
The Dapeng bird is a symbol of freedom and an ideal totem in Zhuangzi’s philosophy. When Li Bai was young, he was ambitious and conceited. He was deeply influenced by Taoist philosophy and his heart was full of romantic fantasies and grand ambitions.
In this poem, he compared himself to the great roc that "swung soaring up to ninety thousand miles". Even if this great roc does not rely on the power of the wind, it can blow the sky with its wings. The water dries up with a splash, and the magical power of this big bird is greatly exaggerated here. In the first four lines of the poem, the poet outlines the image of a big roc trying to move the sea with just a few strokes - which is also the image of the young poet himself.
