The second picture is a cloud on the horizon. Yunfei is like a mirage, depicting the scenery at dusk.

Creation background
This poem was a gift to Li Bai's hometown when he left Shu for Jingmen when he was young. There is no dispute in academic circles, but there are many versions of the specific year of writing, mainly including three versions: one was written in the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), the other in the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725) and the third in the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726).
According to Yu Xianhao's records, Li Bai traveled far away from home in the 12th year of Kaiyuan. Since he recited Liu Jia at the age of five, the poet has been living in Sichuan, studying in Daitian, visiting Emei Mountain and living in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain. He has deep feelings for the mountains and rivers in Sichuan. This time, he left his hometown, made a clear stream, went to the Three Gorges, went to Yuzhou, crossed Jingmen, and went boating to the east, intending to "be poor in the south and involved in the sea in the east."
This is the first time that the poet left his hometown and began to roam around the country, ready to realize his ideals and ambitions.
