"The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds shine like a palace." Compared with the calm of the river, the two sentences show the vastness of the river bank and the high sky, full of romanticism. The Yangtze River flows below Jingmen, and the river twists and turns, and the flow rate slows down. At night, when the river is calm, looking down at the reflection of the moon in the water is like a mirror flying from the sky.
During the day, looking up at the sky, the clouds rise and change endlessly, forming a mirage-like spectacle. This is a wonderful view from Jingmen's vast plains and calm rivers.
For example, in the Three Gorges of the mountains, because the pavilion is at midnight, there is no sunrise, the water is fragrant in summer, and the water on the river is rushing, it is difficult to see the underwater image of "the moon is like a mirror"; In the secret space of the Three Gorges, there is no wonder of "sea clouds flashing like palaces".
Farewell friends at Jingmen Ferry.
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Sail from Jingmen Ferry, and soon you will be with southerners.
At the end of the mountain range and the beginning of the plain, the river winds through the wilderness.
The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces.
The water brings you the feeling of home and makes your boat travel 300 miles.
I crossed the river by boat to Jingmen, far away, and visited the territory of Chu State during the Warring States Period. The mountains gradually disappeared in the Ye Ping and unfolded slowly, and the river seemed to flow into the vast wilderness. The image of the moon in the waves is a mirror falling from the sky, and the colorful clouds in the air form a beautiful mirage. But I still love the surging river in my hometown, which has always accompanied my boat trip in Wan Li.

Creation background
This poem was a gift to Li Bai's hometown when he left Shu for Jingmen when he was young. There is no dispute in academic circles, but there are many versions of the specific year of writing, mainly including three versions: one was written in the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), the other in the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725) and the third in the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726).
According to Yu Xianhao's records, Li Bai traveled far away from home in the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724). Since the poet recited Liu Jia at the age of five, he has been living in Sichuan, studying in Daitian Mountain, visiting Emei Mountain and living in seclusion in Qingcheng City, and has deep feelings for the mountains and rivers in Sichuan.
This time, I left my hometown, sent Qingxi, went to the Three Gorges, went to Yuzhou, crossed Jingmen, and went boating to the east, intending to "be poor in the south and involved in the sea in the east." This is the first time that the poet left his hometown and began to roam around the country, ready to realize his ideals and ambitions.
