It means believing that one day you will realize your ideal and show your ambition. Although depressed, it will not lose confidence and give people encouragement. This poem is from Tang Libai's It's Hard for me to Walk.
1, original text
The cost of pure wine is a gold cup, 10 thousand copper coins and a hip flask, and I am ashamed of 10 thousand yuan. I threw the food bar and cup aside. I couldn't eat or drink. I pulled out my dagger. I peeped in four directions in vain.
I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow. I will sit on a fishing rod and lean lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream of sailing a boat towards the sun.
Travel is hard. Travel is hard. Don't go astray! Where to go today. One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross the sea.
2. Translation
Jinbei famous wine, per barrel 1000 yuan; The exquisite dishes in the jade plate are worth 10 thousand yuan. I feel depressed in my chest. You can't eat without drinking. Draw your sword and look around, my heart is really at a loss. Want to cross the Yellow River, ice and snow blocked the river; If you want to climb Taihang Mountain, the vast snow has already closed the mountain.
Like Lushang Yuxi, waiting for a comeback; Yi Yin is employed by Shang Tang. How difficult it is! How difficult it is! There are many roads. Where is the real avenue? I believe that one day, I can ride the wind and waves; Hang Yun Fan high and move forward in the sea!
Background of poetry creation
In the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (742), Li Bai was called to Beijing as an academician. Li Bai is an active member of the WTO. He is ambitious and wants to do great things like Guan Zhong, Sean and Zhuge Liang.
However, after entering Beijing, it was not reused by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, but was vilified and excluded by powerful ministers. Two years later, he was "repaid" and expelled from Chang' an in disguise. Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties holds that the three capitals of Difficult to Go were written when they left Chang 'an in 744.
