First Coming to Baidicheng is a four-line poem written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he was pardoned during his exile. It is one of Li Bai's most popular poems.
In the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (759), the poet exiled Yelang and went to Bai Di for forgiveness. From time to time, he took a boat back to Jiangling to write this poem. The poem is about the Yangtze River from Bai Di to Jiangling, where the water is fast and ships are flying. The first sentence is about the height of Baidicheng; The second sentence is written in Jiangling Road, and the ship is fast; Three sentences fly into the boat, accompanied by the sound of mountain shadows; Four sentences write that the boat is as light as nothing, pointing out that the water is like diarrhea. The poet combined the happy mood after forgiveness with the grandeur of the countryside and the smooth and brisk sailing along the river.
