2. The attached original text is as follows:
Qiupu Song (Part 15)
Tang Li Bai
White hair three thousands of feet, sorrow like a beard.
I don't know where to get autumn frost in the mirror.
translate
White hair as long as three thousands of feet, it is because of sadness that it grows so long.
Somewhere in the mirror, autumn frost falls on my head.
Brief analysis
The first sentence "three thousands of feet with white hair" is a wonderful exaggeration, which seems unreasonable. A person can't have seven feet tall and three thousand feet long hair. I didn't understand until I read the next sentence, "Fate is like a long sorrow", because sorrow is like this. "Fate", because; "Long", so long. White hair is born of sadness and grows because of sadness. This 3000-foot white hair is a symbol of inner sadness. The tangible white hair in the poem is replaced by the intangible sadness, so these three thousands of feet's white hairs are naturally understood as artistic exaggeration.
The last two sentences "I don't know where to get the autumn frost in the mirror" mean: I look in the clear bronze mirror and see my rustling white hair, and I don't know how my hair became so white. By asking myself questions, I further strengthened the characterization of the word "sorrow" and expressed the poet's difficult dilemma. "Autumn frost" refers to white hair, which has a sad and haggard emotional color.
Third, the creative background:
Jiajing and Wanli's Records of Guichi County, Chizhou Prefecture in Ming Dynasty recorded Li Bai's Journey to Qiupu and his masterpiece Seventeen Poems of Qiupu. Guichi County (now Guichi District, Chizhou City) was named Qiupu County in the Tang Dynasty, which was named after Qiupu River. Li Bai loved famous mountains and rivers all his life. He visited Qiupu five times in the first year of Tianbao and last year, and traveled all over Jiuhua Mountain, Qiupu River and Qingxi, leaving dozens of poems, including many famous ones. Seventeen Poems of Qiupu is a masterpiece created by Li Bai when he visited Qiupu. The writing time of these poems is about eight to fourteen years (749 ~ 755) when Li Bai visited Qiupu. It is said that this poem was written in the 12th year of Tianbao (753).
Four. About the author:

My ancestral home is Ji Cheng in Longxi (to be tested), and I was born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions. At the age of 4, he moved to Mianzhou City, Jiannan Province with his father. Li Bai has more than 1000 poems, among which Li Taibai Ji has been handed down from generation to generation. He died in 762 at the age of 6 1.
