This poem is generally believed to have been written in the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756), when Luoyang had fallen into the hands of Anshi Rebels, but Chang 'an had not yet fallen.
An imaginary fairyland is made up in the poem, which reflects the cruel sight of rebels running rampant and people suffering in the Central Plains, and expresses the poet's condemnation of An Shi Rebellion.
When Li Bai arrived in Luoyang in Liangyuan (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), it was suspected that the Anshi Rebellion began. He witnessed the fall of Luoyang, but went west to Hanguguan and went to Huashan. This poem was written in Huashan Mountain in the early spring of Tianbao 15th year.
In a word, this poem is very strange. The first ten sentences are about virtual immortals, and the last four sentences suddenly become a reality, in sharp contrast. Here, we can also see the fantastic imagination of Li Bai's poems.
