Clouds in the sky are floating around all day, but an old friend can't write a long poem about Du Fu's missing Li Bai.

But "the clouds that float across the sky all day may be like wanderers and never come back." Clouds in the sky are flying all day, so why don't old friends who travel far stay? )

Du Fu's Two Dreams about Li Bai in Tang Dynasty

Clouds are floating in the sky, but old friends have gone for a long time.

I see you in my dreams every night, and you know what you mean to me.

The difference is that you always look in a hurry and always talk about how easy it is to meet.

There are many dangerous waves on the rivers and lakes, and I am worried that your ship will capsize and sink.

When he went out, he scratched his head with white hair and regretted that he had failed his life.

Gao Che Li Fu is the capital, and you are brilliant, and you are haggard.

Who can say that the principle of justice is not Qiren in old age, but innocent bondage?

Even if there is a good name handed down from generation to generation, it is difficult to make up for the sad loss.

Translation:

Clouds fly around all day, so why don't old friends who travel far stay soon?

I always dream about you frequently at night, which shows your deep affection for me.

When you leave, you are always in a hurry, always talking about how difficult it is to meet each other late.

Sailing in the Jianghu is full of dangerous waves. I'm afraid your ship will capsize and sink.

He scratched his white hair when he went out, regretting that he had failed his lifelong ambition.

The bureaucrats in Kyoto are full of talent, but you look haggard.

Who can say that justice does not deceive others, and Lao Ji is innocent?

Even if you have a reputation that will last for a long time, it is difficult to make up for being ignored and sad.

Working background:

This group of poems was written by Du Fu when he lived in Qin Zhou in the autumn of 759 AD (the second year of Gan Yuan). Li Bai and Du Fu broke up in Shimen, Yanzhou, Shandong Province in the autumn of 745 AD (Tianbao four years) and never met again. Du Fu lives in Qin Zhou, but the news is isolated. He only heard that Li Bai was exiled, but he didn't know that he was pardoned. He still cares about Li Bai and misses him from time to time, so he wrote these two poems. This poem is the second in a series.
