What are Li Bai’s poems praising the mountains and rivers of the motherland?

1. "Wang Lushan Waterfall" - Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance.

Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.

Translation: Purple haze rises from Xianglu Peak under the sunlight. From a distance, you can see the waterfall hanging like white silk in front of the mountain.

The plummeting waterfall on the high cliff seems to be thousands of feet long, making people feel as if the Milky Way is falling from the sky to the earth.

2. "Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" - Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.

The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky. (Wei Tong: Wei)

Translation: My friend said goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower, and went on a long trip to Yangzhou in March when catkins were like smoke and flowers were blooming.

The shadow of the lone boat and sail gradually disappeared at the end of the blue sky, and only the rolling Yangtze River was seen rushing towards the sky.

3. "Early Departure from Baidi City / Baidi Goes to Jiangling" - Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The White Emperor said in his farewell speech that among the colorful clouds, he returned to Jiangling after thousands of miles away.

The apes on both sides of the strait can’t stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Translation: In the early morning, I bid farewell to Baidi City, which is high in the sky. Jiangling is thousands of miles away, and the boat trip only takes one day.

The sounds of apes on both sides of the strait are still ringing in my ears, and before I know it, the boat has passed through thousands of green mountains.

4. "Climbing the Yueyang Tower with Xia Twelve" - ??Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The tower overlooks the end of Yueyang, and the Sichuan River opens to the Dongting.

The geese lead away the sorrowful heart, and the mountains carry the beautiful moon.

I stay in the clouds and receive my cup in the sky.

After getting drunk, the cool breeze blows and people dance on their sleeves.

Translation: Climb up the Yueyang Tower to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The vast river leads to the open Dongting. Seeing the wild geese flying south aroused my sorrow, and the mountains in the distance were holding a beautiful moon.

Sit down and set up a banquet upstairs high into the clouds, and have a cup of wine in the sky. After being drunk, a cool breeze arose, causing our sleeves to dance in the wind, and we followed him back.

5. "Moon Song of Mount Emei" - Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The half-moon of Mount Emei in autumn casts its shadow into the water of Pingqiang River. ?

The clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges at night, and I miss you and go down to Yuzhou without seeing you.

Translation: In front of the tall Mount Emei, a half-round autumn moon hangs. The shadow of the moon is reflected on the flowing Pingqiang River.

Start by boat at night, leaving Qingxi and going straight to the Three Gorges. I miss you but it’s hard to see you, so I reluctantly go to Yuzhou.
