These two sentences seem to describe the scene in front of us, but in fact they write all the sad feelings: several birds in the sky flew away until they disappeared; There is still a white cloud in the vast sky, but I don't want to stay and drift away slowly, as if everything in the world is rejecting poets.
The word "gold" enhances the expressive force of this sentence and shows Li Bai's melancholy at this time.
The last sentence "cloud" is the central word, which is compounded with "go", and the silent cloud is drifting away. And clouds are not all over the sky, just "solitary clouds" without companions, just drifting away leisurely and slowly. The poet used "leisure" to write the state of the solitary cloud, highlighting the process of leaving, so that readers can feel the poet's inner pain and helplessness when they taste the state of the solitary cloud leaving.

Birds fly high without a shadow, and lonely clouds go alone for fun.
You look at me and I look at you. They don't hate each other. It's just me and Jingting Mountain ahead.
Creative background:
In the second year of Shang Dynasty (76 1), Li Bai was in his sixties. Wandering after An Shi Rebellion experienced the humiliation of unjust imprisonment and exile with crime. Li Bai came to Xuancheng for the seventh time and for the last time. There was no scene of guests and friends like clouds and welcoming guests, and there was no elegance of indulging in wine and talking about poetry in the North Building.
He hobbled up Jingting Mountain alone, and sat alone for a long time. He felt moved by the scene before him, very sad, lonely and desolate, and couldn't help singing the poem "Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain". This is more in line with the time and space background of Li Bai's creation of this poem.

In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai merged again.
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. Li Taibai's Collection has been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Liang, The First Building of Baidicheng, etc.
