Who wrote the Emei Mountain Moon Song?

Yuege on Mount Emei is a poem by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He expressed his yearning for his relatives and friends in his hometown by describing the night scene he saw on the boat. The whole poem is as follows:

In the autumn of the first half of Mount Emei, the Pingqiang River reflected.

In the evening, Qingxi went to the Three Gorges, but the four gentlemen did not see Yuzhou.

Vernacular translation:

In front of the steep Mount Emei, there is a half-moon suspension. The flowing Pingqiang River reflects the bright moon.

Set out by boat at night, leave Qingxi and go straight to the Three Gorges. Miss you, hard to meet, reluctant to part with Yuzhou.

Extended data

1, creative background

This poem was written by Li Baichu when he left Shu, and it was written in the autumn of the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724). At that time, Li Bai wrote this poem on his way from Zhongshu to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Emei Mountain is the mountain in the middle of Shu and the name of Shu. Li Bai is a native of Shu, so Mount Emei is also the hometown month.

2, the influence of later generations

This poem has a great influence on the poetry creation at that time and later generations. Du Fu's Jiang Yue, Three Bright Moons, Fu of the First Month, Su Shi's Sending a Message to Zhang Jiazhou, Lu You's Moon Rock, etc. Are obviously influenced by Li Bai's Yuege on Mount Emei.
