Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! The difficulty of Shu Dao is difficult to go to the sky!
Difficult poetry and painting in Shu Dao
Until the two rulers of this area, in the foggy age, forced through! Forty-eight thousand years have passed, and there is no contact with Qin Sai 6. On the other hand, to the west, there is still only one bird path 7, all the way to Emei Peak 8. One of them was broken by an earthquake, and the brave lost 9, and then the ladder stone stack was linked with 10.
Six dragons returned to Japan's high standard 1 1, while the river far below whipped its twisted route 12. This height is difficult for a yellow crane to pass 13, and poor monkeys only use their claws 14. The Green Mud Mountain consists of many circles 15. Every hundred steps, we have to turn nine times in the middle of its mound 16. Breathing heavily, we brushed Orion, passed Jingxing 17, and then, holding our chests with both hands, we collapsed to the ground with a groan 18.
We wonder if this westbound path will never end 19? The terrible road ahead becomes darker and darker. Nothing can be heard except the cries of birds surrounded by ancient forests. The male birds hover smoothly and follow the female birds. Jathyapple City, there came the melancholy voice of cuckoo, sad empty mountain 23. It is difficult to get through the Shu Road, and it is difficult to go to the sky. When you smell it, it turns pale.
The highest cliff is less than a foot from heaven, and the withered pine trees hang low on the cliff surface. One thousand waterfalls rushed forward one after another, sending out the thunder of rotating stones in ten thousand valleys. In the face of many dangers, you are a person from afar. How did you come here?
Although the bunker is strong and severe, one person guards it and ten thousand people can't beat it. What if he is not a loyal 3 1, but a wolf to his companion? .
There are scary hungry tigers during the day and poisonous reptiles at night; Prepare 33 with their teeth and fangs, and kill like horses. Although Jincheng is happy, it is better to go home early. The difficulty of the Shu road is difficult to go to the sky and look sideways to the west for a long time. [ 1]

Calligraphy work Shu Dao Nan
Legend has it that Can Cong and Yufu established Shu, and the founding date is too long to discuss in detail. After that, about 48,000 years, Qin and Shu were separated by the Qinling Mountains and did not communicate with each other. There are paths that birds can cross in Taibai Mountain in the west. You can cross the top of Mount Emei from that path. The five strong men of Shu were crushed to death by the landslide, and the ladder and plank roads between the two places began to connect.
There is a mountain top that blocks the six dragon cars of the sun god, and a steep wave drains back to the tortuous Dachuan. The yellow crane who is good at flying high can't fly. Even if he wants to climb over, he is worried that he can't climb up. How does the winding Qingniling hover around the mountain, and the surrounding rocks turn nine times within a hundred steps. You can touch the stars, hold your breath, touch your chest with your hands and sigh in vain.

Creation background
There have been many speculations about the creation background of Shu Dao Nan since the Tang Dynasty. There are four main opinions: first, this poem is worried about Fang Yi and Du Fu, hoping that they will leave Sichuan as soon as possible to avoid being killed by Yanwu; Secondly, this poem was written for Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who fled to Shu to avoid the Anshi Rebellion, urging him to return to Chang 'an to avoid being held hostage by local warlords in Sichuan. C. This poem aims at satirizing Zhang Qiu, the governor of Shu at that time. Joan wanted to be independent and did not listen to the constraints of the court. Ding, this poem is purely about mountains and rivers, and it has no meaning.
This poem was first seen in He Yueling Photo Album compiled by Yin Kun in the 12th year of Tianbao of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (753). Therefore, the writing age of Li Bai's poem should be before He Yueling's Album was published at the latest. At that time, the Anshi rebellion had not yet occurred, and Fang (Yan) and Du Fu had not yet entered Sichuan. Therefore, the two statements of A and B are obviously wrong. As for the satire of Zhang Qiu and Joan, judging from the relevant records in some historical books, it is also unfounded. Zhang Qiu and Joan have always dreamed of being an official in Chang 'an. Relatively speaking, the last statement is more objective and closer to the actual work.
This may be a poem for a friend. Some scholars believe that this poem may have been written by Li Bai when he sent his good friend Wang Yan to Shu in Chang 'an from the first year to the third year (742-744), in order to persuade Wang Yan not to detain Shu and return to Chang 'an as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by jealous villains. Some scholars believe that this poem was given to a friend by Li Baichu as a gift when he entered Chang 'an in Kaiyuan.
