I wrote a poem in my spare time, but it doesn’t make sense no matter how I read it. Who will show it to Xiu Xiu?

You are so awesome, Li Bai is resurrected:)

The half-autumn moon in Mount Emei,

The shadow is reflected in the water of Pingqiang River.

The clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges at night,

I miss you and go down to Yuzhou.

----Li Bai's "Moon Song of Mount Emei"

Notes]

①Mount Emei: in the southwest of Emei County, Sichuan today

② Pingqiang (qiāng): the name of the river, which is now the Qingyi River, in the east of Mount Emei.

③Fa: Set off. Qingxi: refers to Qingxi Station, located near Mount Emei in Qián, Sichuan. Three Gorges: refers to the Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, at the junction of today's Sichuan and Hubei provinces. One theory refers to the Litou, Bei'e and Pingqiang Three Gorges in Leshan, Sichuan. Qingxi is in the upper reaches of Litou Gorge.

④jun: refers to the moon of Mount Emei. One theory refers to the author's friends. Down: Go down the river. Yuzhou: the area around present-day Chongqing.

[Explanation]

On a crisp autumn night with a bright moonlight, the poet took a boat and went down the river from Qingxi Post. The shadow of the moon is reflected in the river, accompanying the poet like a good friend. But on the way from Qingxi to Yuzhou, the moon was always blocked by the mountains on both sides, which made the poet miss it endlessly.

One feature of this poem is that each line contains a place name, which is rare in Tang poetry
