The poem expresses the profound friendship between the author and Wang Lun in simple language. From the side, it also shows that the author and Wang Lun are informal and happy and free people.
Suddenly heard the background of the poem "Singing on the Shore";
This poem was written around 755 AD, and an interesting story was recorded in Yuan Mei's Supplement to Poems in the Garden. At that time, the famous Wang Lun lived near Taohuatan in Jingxian County. He heard that Li Bai was going to travel here, so he wrote a letter to welcome Li Bai. Wang Lun said in the letter, Sir, don't you like traveling? Peach blossoms are ten miles here. Don't you like drinking, sir? There are 10 thousand hotels for you to drink.
As a result, Li Bai came happily. Only after he came did he know that Wang Lun's so-called "peach blossom" was the name of Tanshui. In fact, there are no peach blossoms here. The so-called "Wanjia Hotel" is only the owner's surname, not a hotel with tens of thousands of yuan.
But Li Bai is also a free and easy person, and he doesn't care about these. Instead, he readily accepted Wang Lun's warm hospitality. When leaving, he wrote this poem and thanked Wang Lun for his hospitality.
