Hu Jiao's horse was frightened by the dust, and Hu Xiao drank water from his horse in Tianjin. You are near Jiuquan for Zhangye, and I have traveled nine thousand miles in three colors. (Three colors and one work: three bars) The heavens and the earth are new and the law is wide, and the yelang moves the guests with frost and cold. Memories of old friends are invisible in the west, and dreams of Chang 'an in the east wind. I suddenly met here in Ning period, and the surprise was like falling smoke. Jade flute and gold tube make four feasts, and you can't make long sentences painstakingly. Yesterday, the embroidered clothes were green, and they were as sick as peaches and plums. I used to ride the Great Wanma, the son of heaven, but now I ride the vassal gate in the section of money. Lai met Nanping with a clear heart, and the master held a clear theory. There is a mountain like Wan Liyun, and it is boring to look around the sky. People are still bored, and they are suffering for a long time. Worry comes to drink 2 stone, cold ash is warm and gives birth to spring. A drunken mountain master can ride a horse, especially a romantic master. The Buddhist monk is full of clouds and moons, and the landscape has never been satisfactory. Otherwise, you will sing the drums and play the surging stream, calling for the songs of Jiangnan's daughter. I smashed the Yellow Crane Tower for you, and you also smashed Nautilus Island for me. Chibi is like a dream, and it is necessary to sing and dance. Jiang Xia presented Wei Nanling with ice. Translation and comments
The Hu people were proud of their war horses, and they were shocked by the dust uplift. The times were dangerous, and the young Hu like Schleswig drank the water from the capital. You went to Zhangye near Jiuquan, and I was exiled to Sanba, which is 9 thousand miles away. The decree of Amnesty is as loose as the world is new, and the exiled Yelang returns with a frost. I don't want to meet my old friends in the west. Dongfeng brought my dream to Chang 'an to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you suddenly here, and I was at a loss like smoke between surprises. At the banquet, the jade flute and the gold pipe rang around, and it was difficult to express the bitterness in seven long words. Yesterday, the embroidered clothes in the room fell on the green mattress frequently, but I was as speechless as a sick peach and plum. In the past, the son of heaven gave Dawan horse a free ride, but now it's hard to ride a bad horse and wait for the door. Fortunately, Lai met Li Zhiyao, the prefect of Nanping, and he was open-minded. Plus, Master, you made a statement and talked freely. Like the clouds of Wan Li on the top of a green hill, overlooking the blue sky to relieve boredom. People are bored in the end, and the bitterness is still bitter. I am worried about drinking 2, stones, and I am eager to revive the spring in the cold. It is also a romantic affair between the master and everyone that you can still ride a horse when you are drunk. The clouds, the moon and the smoke in Toutuo Temple are full of monk's spirit, so how can such a landscape be called people's heart? Otherwise, the drums and drums will play cool and clean, calling on Jiangnan's daughter to drum and sing songs. I will smash the yellow crane tower for you, and you will overturn the parrot continent for me. In the Three Kingdoms, the struggle for supremacy in Chibi was like a dream, or the sorrow of leaving while singing and dancing.

The poem begins with a flashback. This is a reminiscence of the past after a sudden encounter. The poet said, "Since the Anshi Rebellion, you have gone to Zhangye, and I have avoided the third bus, and I have never met each other. However, when the rebellion came to an end and Su Zong returned to Beijing, I was sent to prison, covered with frost and dew, and had a long life, and I consciously became desolate but survived. When I think of Chang 'an's old friends, I will return to the DPRK with the driver at this time. The east wind is proud, and I can only meet them in my dream. Who would have thought that I was lucky enough to meet an old friend of Chang 'an who had no hope of meeting again. This is really unexpected, amazing, incredible, and at a loss like smoke. "Li Bai is a sinner who is forgiven, and Wei Bing is a demoted official. At the meeting party, people were noisy, and it was impossible to tell each other what happened. From the beginning to the "painstaking" sentence, in summarizing the surprise of the sudden encounter, the poet entrusted himself and Wei Bing with their unfortunate experiences and grievances; In the expression of puzzled thoughts, there is a mockery of Su Zong and the court's Piriyangqiu. This is like a surprise description of meeting the soul in a dream, but it is actually a painful confession of waking up in a big dream. Patriotic ambition and ambition to help the world have turned into naive dreams and real tragedies.
The poet sincerely appreciates the comfort of his old friend. He said: "At yesterday's banquet, Guida, who was embroidered with clothes, poured wine for herself, and the courtesy was extremely heavy. However, they just adore my talent and don't really understand me, and I'm "as sick as a peach and plum". What is there to talk about? Of course, the world will eventually understand me, and my past and present honors and disgraces will be understood by my old friends. Some time ago, I heard a frank truth from Li Zhiyao, the prefect of Nanping, which made people open their minds. Today, I have to smell your honest remarks here again. It's really like a deep mountain clearing away clouds, making people see a clear sky and dispelling their anguish. From the sentence of "Yesterday" to the sentence of "Looking around", although the poet's tone is relatively gentle, it makes people feel strongly that he can't get rid of the depression in his heart, which is as dull as before the thunderstorm.
in the last paragraph, the brushwork was unrestrained and unrestrained, and the intense grief and indignation poured out, just like a pent-up mountain torrent, which broke out and violently impacted everything in this reality. The poem reads: "People are bored, bored, bitter and bitter, one after another, forever." I can only drown my sorrows in wine and drink it 2 stone. Han Anguo was in prison in the Han Dynasty, and his self-confidence can be revived. Why can't I? When Shan Jian was guarding Xiangyang in the Jin Dynasty, he often got as drunk as a fiddler, and he was able to ride a fine horse, which was a charming move by a virtuous master. And Li Bai is drinking the wine of depression. Being alone, he naturally has no leisure, so he can't be bored when he is drunk. So he said, "I'd better travel in the mountains and rivers, but I feel that the mountains and rivers are as full of the ascetic monk's popularity as the famous ancient temple Toutuo Temple near Jiangxia, which is boring and unsatisfactory. So, where is the way out, where can I relieve boredom? It is better to swim by boat, call for musicians, sing drums and sing and dance for fun; Eradicate everything that once yearned for and pursued, leaving no trace; Take the political reality of bravado as a dream and don't care; Let the song and dance relieve the sorrow! The poet rejected his past hobby of self-adaptation, not giving up on himself, but the outbreak of extreme depression and fierce indignation. These last 14 sentences, the mood is getting more and more intense. The spearhead is aimed at dark politics and cold reality.
"I beat the Yellow Crane Tower for you, and you beat Nautilus Island for me" is the most emotional poem in this poem, and it is also a famous sentence that has always been told. The "Yellow Crane Tower" is famous for its immortal riding cranes to heaven, and the "Parrot Island" is named after Mi Heng, who wrote "Parrot Fu" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was killed in this continent by Huang Zu. A yearning immortal, a feeling that triggered an unexpected encounter, although legend and history, entrusted Wei Bing and Li Bai with their feelings. Wandering immortals is not the ideal of ambitious people, but the destination of lost ambition; It is natural since ancient times not to meet the phenomenon that this is not the time of Ming Dynasty. Li Bai expressed great anger at each other's sufferings with the feelings of bosom friends, so he wanted to "smash the Yellow Crane Tower" but "parrot Island", no longer harboring dreams and looking for misery. However, the Yellow Crane Tower can't be broken, and Nautilus Island can't fall. The poet's great anger contains helpless sadness.
This poem expresses true feelings, but its conception is romantic and strange. The poet seized the chance of meeting Wei Bing unexpectedly in Jiangxia, keenly aware of the tragic content hidden in the comedy of this unexpected meeting, and romantically and exaggeratedly conceived and expressed it as a dream awakening. It goes from a sudden surprise of forgiveness to awakening in a cold situation, and ends with grief and indignation after awakening. Thus, the experience of the poet and Wei Bing has typical significance and truly reflects the characteristics of the times that caused the tragedy. The poet is resentful, bitter and desperate. He can't bear to look back, but he is passionate. Therefore, his emotions change, and he is full of enthusiasm, which makes people clearly see his never-failing character of "refusing to do anything" and his ambition of "helping the whole world" and "clearing the world". This is the poet's work in his twilight years. Compared with the previous works, it is more mature in thought and sophisticated in art, but the style is still the same, arrogant and uninhibited, charming, with outstanding personality, bold style and strong sense of color. Jiang Xia presented Wei Nanling's ice creation background
In the second year of Tang Suzong Ganyuan (759), Li Bai was pardoned and released on the way to Yelang, and during his stay in Jiang Xia (now Wuchang, Wuhan, Hubei), he met Wei Bing, an old friend of Chang 'an who was then the magistrate of Nanling (now Anhui). Li Bai became a victim and suffered great injustice in the infighting between Tang Suzong Li Heng and Yong Wang Li Lin. At this time, he just met an Amnesty and suddenly met an old friend, which surprised him and made him full of grief and indignation. He couldn't help generate, so he wrote this painful and intense political lyric poem.
