Climb Mount Tianmu in your dreams? Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
A sailing tourist will talk about Japan, which is hidden in water and fog and inaccessible;
But the more people talk about the mother mountain, the clouds are light or visible.
On a straight line leading to heaven, its peak enters heaven, topped with five sacred peaks, and casts a shadow across China.
The Paradise Terrace Mountains are 100 miles long, and it is here that they begin to extend to the southeast.
My heart and my dream are in Wu Heyue, flying over Jinghu Moon overnight.
The moon lit up my shadow and I came to Yanhe.
Xie 'an is still there, with a loud voice and rippling blue waves.
I wore Xie's earliest spiked shoes and climbed the Qingyun ladder.
Halfway through the sunny ocean, the sacred rooster crows in space.
Thousands of turns, flowers lure me, stones slow me down. The day suddenly ended.
Bears, dragons and storms on mountains and rivers disturb forests and shake mountains.
Clouds are darkened by rain, and streams are pale by fog.
God of thunder and lightning, the mountains are crumbling.
Cave stone gate, drain in tiankeng.
An impenetrable shadow, but now the sun and the moon illuminate a golden and silver terrace.
Wearing rainbow clothes and riding the wind, all the queens of the clouds came and came down one by one.
With the tiger as the harp and the phoenix as the dancer, the images of fairies are arranged in rows.
I moved, my soul flew and suddenly began to grow.
My pillow and mat are the lost clouds in which I once lived.
This is the consistent way of human happiness, and all kinds of things will always flow to the east like water.
So I'm leaving you. I don't know how long it will take. But let me raise a white deer on my green hillside and ride to you when I need you, Dashan.
Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those people with high status and important positions? They never want to be seen with a sincere face!

Listening to overseas visitors talking about Yingzhou, it's really hard to find it in the vast distance.
Vietnamese people talk about Tianmu Mountain, which can sometimes be seen among the swaying clouds.
Tianmu mountain towering into the sky, connected with the sky, flat out of the sky; The mountain is higher than the five mountains, covering Chicheng Mountain.
Mount Tianmu is so high that even the 48,000-foot-high Tiantai Mountain seems to be leaning to the southeast, bowing down to itself.
I want to sleepwalk to wuyue as the Vietnamese say, and fly over Jinghu Lake under the bright moon at night.
The moonlight of Jinghu Lake shone on my figure and sent me all the way to Tongxi.
The place where Xie Lingyun lives is still there today. The clear lake is rippling and apes are singing.
Wearing Xie Gong's special wooden shoes on his feet, he climbed the mountain road and went straight into the sky.
Halfway up the mountain, I saw the sun rising from the sea and the crowing of pheasants in the air.
Numerous rocks overlap, the mountain road twists and turns, hovering and changing. Obsessed with flowers and leaning on stones, I don't feel it's getting dark.
Bears are growling, dragons are ringing, springs in rocks are shaking, making deep mountains and forests tremble and towering peaks shake.
The clouds are dark, as if it is going to rain, and the water waves fluctuate, producing fine smoke.
Lightning and thunder, the mountain seems to have collapsed.
The stone gate of Xianfu opened with a bang in the middle.
The blue sky in the cave is boundless, with no end in sight. The sun and the moon shine on the palace made of gold and silver.
Dressed in rainbows, riding the wind like a horse, the immortals in the clouds descended to earth one after another.
The tiger plays the harp, and the phoenix pulls the cart. The immortals lined up like hemp.
Suddenly my soul stirred, and I woke up suddenly and couldn't help sighing.
When I woke up, there was only a pillow mat around me. The smoke and clouds I just saw in my dream were gone.
The joy of the world is like a dreamland. Since ancient times, everything has gone forever.
Goodbye, I don't know when I will come back this time. For the time being, put the white deer between the green cliffs, and when you want to travel far, ride it to visit famous mountains.
How can you grovel for the powerful, so that you can't have a comfortable smile!

Creation background
This poem was written in 745 AD (Tianbao four years) and 746 AD (Tianbao five years) after Li Bai left the Hanlin. In 744 AD (Tianbao three years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), Li Bai was pushed out of Chang 'an by powerful people and was released from Beijing and returned to his hometown in Donglu (now Shandong). Then set foot on the journey of roaming again. This poem describing the dream trip of Tianmu Mountain was written when Li Bai was about to leave eastern Shandong for wuyue.
Brief introduction of the author
Li Bai (70 1-762), a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, was called "Poet Fairy" by later generations and "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai were also called together. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the king of Liang, and he is a descendant of all kings. He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages, such as Li Taibai Collection handed down from generation to generation. Most of his poems were written when he was drunk, and his representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, Difficult Walking, Difficult Road, Drinking, Early Making a City of Baidi, etc.
