"Sun Travel"
Li Bai
The sun rises in the east, as if it comes from the ground.
Li Tian has entered the West Sea again. Is the place where the six dragons are safe?
The beginning and the end are eternal. People are not vital, can they linger with them for a long time?
The grass does not thank and thrives in the spring breeze, and the trees do not complain and fall in the autumn.
Who wields the whip to drive away the four fortunes? All things rise and fall naturally.
Xihe! Xihe! Are you drowning in the wave of debauchery?
What virtue is there in Luyang? Standing in the scene and waving arms?
It goes against the will and nature, and there are many false accusations.
I will cover a lot of them, Haoran and Ming are in the same subject!
2. Translation:
The sun rises from the east, as if coming from the ground.
Year after year, day after day, it passes through the sky and sinks into the West Sea.
This has always been the case since ancient times. If people are not vital, how can they last forever like the sun?
Flowers and plants do not express gratitude for the caress of the spring breeze, nor do fallen leaves complain about the withering of the autumn wind.
Where is there anyone who is waving a whip to drive the four seasons? In fact, the rise and fall of all things are due to nature.
Xihe, Xihe, how could you be buried in the boundless waves?
Mr. Lu Yang, Gong Lu Yang, what ability do you have to wave your arms and ask the sun to stop?
These legends go against the grain and are absolutely ridiculous!
I will become one with heaven and earth, and my aura and vitality will become one.
This poem reflects the ancient meaning of Han Yuefu and believes that people cannot "go against the will and nature" but must adapt to the laws of nature. It shows a simple materialistic thought and fully demonstrates the poet's positive romance. spirit of doctrine.

Creative background
There is a chapter "Sunrise and Entry" in the Yuefu of the Han Dynasty. It chants that the sun comes and goes infinitely, but human life is limited, so Imagine riding on six dragons and becoming an immortal. This poem by Li Bai goes against its meaning.
This poem is not based on reasoning, but is inspired by reality. "Poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties" believes that this poem "seems to be written by those who seek immortality", and Shen Deqian's "Tang Poems" is more affirmative: "It is better to obey the nature of nature and learn from it than to speak of Lu Yang's pretentious accusations. The fallacy of immortality.
