Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
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.
Translation:
The wine in the golden cup 1000 yuan a barrel, and the food in the jade plate 10000 yuan.
Depressed, I put down a cup of chopsticks and didn't want to eat it; Pulled out his sword and looked around, feeling at a loss.
I want to cross the Yellow River, but the ice and snow have frozen the river. If you want to climb Taihang Mountain, that mountain has been closed by heavy snow.
Like Lushang Yuxi, waiting for a comeback; Like Yi Yin's dream, he passed by the Japanese side by boat.
The road of life is as difficult as it is; The road is complicated. Where are you now?
I believe it's time to ride the wind and waves, and then I must sail across the sea!

In 742 AD (the first year of Tianbao), Li Bai was called to Beijing as an academician. However, it was not reused by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was vilified and excluded by powerful ministers. Two years later, he was "repaid" and expelled from Chang' an in disguise. Li Bai was forced to leave Beijing, and all his friends came to see him off. There was no hope for the official position, and he felt the hardship of finding a job and wrote this article "Difficult to Go" with indignation.
