Looking at Tianmen Mountain is a four-line poem written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, on his way to Jiangdong in 725 AD.
At that time, at the turn of spring and summer, 25-year-old Li Baichu left Bashu and took a boat along the Chuhe River via Dangtu (now Anhui) to Jiangdong, passing Tianmen Mountain for the first time.
Full text:
The Yangtze River splits the Tianmen Peak like a giant axe, and the green river flows around the island.
The green hills on both sides are neck and neck, and a boat meets leisurely from the horizon.
Translation:
Tianmen Mountain broke in the middle because the Chu River washed it away, and the clear water flowed eastward and turned back here.
The towering green hills on both sides of the river stand across the Yangtze River, and a solitary boat on the river is coming from the edge of the sun.
