When I was in the Badong Three Gorges, I once looked at the bright moon in the west. Recalling the Emei Mountain in my hometown, the moon rises from Emei, shines on the sea, and stays with people for thousands of miles. Under the moonlight in front of the Yellow Crane Tower, I suddenly met you, a guest from my hometown of Emei. Now, the Emei Mountain moon will accompany you westward to Chang'an with the wind. The highway of Chang'an leads directly to the nine heavens, and the moon of Mount Emei shines brightly on Qinchuan for 800 miles with you. In the capital, the dignitaries all sat on high seats with golden lions, held the tails of horseshoes in their hands, and talked about profound principles. I am wandering around Wuyue like floating clouds, but you can meet the Holy Lord and visit Danque. When you become famous and become famous throughout the imperial capital, come back to your hometown again and enjoy the moonlight over the mountains of Emei with me.

The Moon Song of Mount Emei sent Shu monk Yan to Beijing for appreciation:
Li Bai has never forgotten the moon of Emei. Even after traveling thousands of miles away, he has been seeing and remembering it, and he feels even more about the moon. The moon walks with him. Now I saw a monk from his hometown in front of the Yellow Crane Tower, who brought the Emei Moon, which made Li Bai recall the Emei Mountain Moon with mixed feelings.
The first two lines of this poem, "When I was in the Three Gorges of Badong, I looked at the bright moon in the west and recalled Emei" are writing about seeing Shu in a different place, expressing Li Bai's mood of missing Shu and praising it. In fact, it is an allusion to his own sorrow. Two simple sentences, with a wide range of vertical and horizontal dimensions, appear on the paper. The elegance of Emei is also clearly visible. At this time, I recall the scenery of Emei with mixed feelings. The moon rises from Emei and shines on the sea, and it has been with people for thousands of miles. Two sentences describe the moon in a different place, and I use the moon to express my feelings. Many associations come to mind from old friends, in the same month but in different circumstances, depending on the state of mind. Li Bai said: Just use my state of mind to send you to Chang'an. The moon in front of the Yellow Crane Tower is white, and the two sentences "I suddenly saw a guest from Emei" describe the scene where the two met and had a tacit understanding and talked freely. Reminiscing about the past and talking about the present, don’t have other thoughts. Life is like the moon, waxing and waning. I am a floating cloud, coming and going as I please. Natural and unrestrained, aloof and refined. It also alludes to the hidden meaning that although the author cannot escape from the world, his mind has already transcended the world. The moon of Mount Emei returns to you, and the wind blows westward to Chang'an. Chang'an Avenue spans nine days, and the moon of Emei Mountain shines on Qinchuan. Four sentences say that this bright moon will definitely accompany him to Chang'an. This bright moon will not only shine on Jiangxia, but also on Chang'an and the surrounding Qinchuan, and there will still be Emei when he returns to Shu. Accompanying the moon. A golden lion rides on a high seat, and a white jade man talks about mysteries. If an old friend can talk about mysteries and talk eloquently in the capital, he will receive extremely high courtesy and admiration. I am like a floating cloud over Wuyue, and when you meet the Holy Master, you visit Danque. These two sentences mean: I am going down and out, but you are riding the wind back. Although his mood is different, Li Bai here reflects his optimism and unwillingness to accept fate. His fame spread all over the imperial capital, and when he returned, he said two sentences about Emei, which means: When we succeed, we will recall our old days of Emei again. In fact, there is a bright moon thousands of miles away, and it does not matter whether the moon is bright here or there. However, on the one hand, it can be seen that Li Bai has a special liking for the moon in his hometown. On the other hand, compared with himself, who was like a floating cloud and stranded in Wuyue, he envied the Shu monks who could still see the Emei moon when they returned.
The whole poem uses the moon as the medium and is carried out throughout.
This poem is written from me to the moon, from the moon to the monk, and then to the moon again. It is full of eloquence and dynamic, and it is not suffocating, which fully demonstrates Li Bai's artistic level as a master of singing.

Li Bai (701-762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi. He claimed that his ancestral home was Longxi Chengji (southwest of today's Jingning, Gansu Province). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ancestors lived in Suiye, the Western Region (in the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Anxi Protectorate, near Tokmak in northern Kyrgyzstan).

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, he participated in the shogunate of Yongwang Li Lin in 756 AD with the intention of quelling the rebellion. Being affected by King Yong's failure in fighting for the throne, he was exiled to Yelang (now in Guizhou), but was pardoned and returned to the east. In his later years, he wandered around the southeast and died in Dangtu (now Anhui). His poems are mainly lyrical, showing his arrogant spirit of contempt for the powerful, expressing sympathy for the suffering of the people, and being good at describing natural scenery and expressing his love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The poetic style is majestic and bold, the imagination is rich, the language flows naturally, and the melody is harmonious and changeable.
