This poem was written in the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726), and Li Bai fell ill in Yangzhou. In the poem, the poet lamented the fleeting time and unfinished achievements, and at the same time expressed his thoughts on Zhao Kun during his illness, which was very sincere and touching.
It turns out that Wu Hui 2 is a cloud, floating like a passer-by 3. If you don't succeed in your career, you will be forced to run for 5 years old. Good figure 6 Russia 7 give up donation 8, illness is cotton drama 9. The guqin hides ten empty boxes, and the sword hangs on the empty wall. Chu Huaiqin, the more you sing, the better. The country is far away, and the countryside is far away. Memories of the DPRK are like a stage and a dream room at night. At the beginning of the trip, the atmosphere in autumn is very quiet. The wind is loose and clear, revealing white grass. An old friend is invisible, who is suitable for dreaming? Send a book to the west to comfort and leave you.
Note 1 Huainan: In today's Yangzhou, Jiangsu, Huainan Road was located in Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Kun is a native of Tangzizhou Yanting (now Yanting, Sichuan), and he is the author of long and short classics. According to records, Li Bai studied under Zhao Kun for more than a year. In ancient times, it was used to refer to sages and philosophers who were recruited by the imperial court and refused to accept their positions. Wu Hui: namely Wu Jun and Huiji County. Here refers to Wu di in general. Yangzhou, where Li Bai was then, belonged to the State of Wu in ancient times.

Rush means to fly in a hurry Good picture: refers to grand and lofty political aspirations. 7 Russia: in an instant. 8 abandon donation: abandon, meaning nothing, nothing. 9 aging: aging and disease. Okay, then. Everything is covered, and it is getting worse. Ten shortcomings: in vain, in vain. Hide a virtual box, that is, "hide a virtual box." Chu Huaiwang plays Zhong Yi: According to Zuo Zhuan, Zhong Yi is a native of Chu State, and he still wears the hat of Chu State after being captured by Jin State. Once, the monarch of the State of Jin asked him to play the piano, and he played Chu's music to express his nostalgia for his old country. Next to Bizhuang, Yin Yue: According to historical records, next to the village is a Vietnamese who once worked in the Garden of Chu State. Later, he became seriously ill, and the king of Chu asked him, "Zhuang Pang was originally Vietnamese. I wonder if he still misses Yue Guo? He replied, "When people are sick, they tend to miss their old country more. Talk about Yue if you want it, and talk about Chu if you want it. "The king of Chu sent someone to listen, and what Zhuanggan said was indeed Vietnamese. Here, the poet used the stories of Zhong Yi and Zhuang Gan to express his homesickness. National Gate: City Gate. This is used to refer to the land of Shu. Country road: the road to hometown. Xiangrutai: refers to the Qin platform of Sima Xiangru, a famous fu writer in the Western Han Dynasty. Ziyunlou: refers to the residence of Yang Xiong, another poet in the Western Han Dynasty.

The clouds above Wudi are like a traveler far from home. It's a pity that time passed in a hurry before I succeeded. All my ambitions in the past have gone up in smoke. I am old and ill. Guqin is hidden in the box, and Jianzong disciples hang on the bare wall. Being in a foreign country, I miss my hometown as much as Zhong Yi and Zhuang Gan. However, Shu is far away, and the road to hometown is blocked by distant mountains. I miss the amorous feelings of Sichuanese all day, and scenes like Taiwan Province and Ziyunlou haunt me. My traveler's homesickness is stagnant, and the bleak atmosphere of autumn is also spreading, and my eyes are full of withered scenes. Autumn wind blows through pine trees, bringing cold air and autumn grass for thousands of years. But old friends can't meet. Who can I be with in my dream? I asked Hongyan, who went to Naxi, to bring my letter to comfort you and me.
