A poem describing a person's arrogance

Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking people? They will never tolerate others showing them a sincere face.

The meaning of this poem is: I can't serve the rich and powerful, so I can't have a comfortable smile.

"Dream of climbing Mount Tianmu/sleepwalking on Mount Tianmu".

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

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 light up the gold 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!

Full text translation:

When foreigners talk about Yingzhou, it is difficult to find a smoke wave.

When Vietnamese talk about Tianmu Mountain, some people can see it in the fog.

Tianmu Mountain seems to be connected with the sky and isolated from it.

The mountain is higher than the five mountains, covering Chicheng Mountain.

Although Tiantai Mountain is 48,000 feet high, it seems to lean to the southeast and bow down.

I sleepwalked to wuyue as the Vietnamese said, and one night I flew over Jinghu Lake under the bright moon.

The moonlight on Jinghu Lake shines on my shadow, always accompanying me to Tongxi.

The place where Xie Lingyun lived 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 crow of pheasants came from the air.

Numerous rocks overlap, the road twists and turns, and the direction is uncertain. I am obsessed with flowers and walk on stones, and I don't feel that it is getting late.

Bears are growling, dragons are ringing, springs in rocks are shaking, making forests tremble and mountain peaks tremble.

The clouds are dark, as if it is going to rain, and the water waves fluctuate and produce 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 is playing the harp and the phoenix is driving. Immortals are in droves, as dense as hemp.

Suddenly, my soul was disturbed, and I woke up with a start 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.

Say goodbye to friends and fly away (Donglu). What time are you coming back?

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 I grovel for the powerful, so that I can't have a comfortable smile!
