Li Bai sat alone on Jingting Mountain.
The birds flew without a trace, leaving the lonely clouds free and unfettered.
Never tire of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain.

3. Translation
Birds fly without a trace, and lonely clouds floating in the sky don't want to stay and drift away slowly. Only I looked at the high Jingting Mountain, and Jingting Mountain looked at me silently. None of us will be satisfied. Who can understand my lonely mood at this time, only this tall Jingting Mountain.
4. Creative background
Jingting Mountain, located in Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui), is a famous county in the south of the Yangtze River since the Six Dynasties. Great poets such as Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao once served as satrap here. Li Bai visited Xuancheng seven times in his life. This five-line poem was written when he visited Xuanzhou in the autumn of 753 (the twelfth year of Tianbao). After Li Bai was forced to leave Chang 'an, he came to Xuancheng after ten years of wandering. The long-term wandering life made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world, thus deepening his dissatisfaction with reality and increasing his sense of loneliness. However, his arrogance and stubbornness remain the same as before. During this period, he wrote a lot of poems to relieve his depression by wandering around immortals and drinking, and also wrote a lot of poems to express his feelings and feelings.
