When was the poem Shu Dao Nan written? What was Li Bai's situation at that time?

Li Bai wrote Shu Dao Nan, but there are two conjectures about the specific creation period. The first guess is that this poem is a gift for a friend, and some scholars think it is a gift for Wang Yan, a contemporary poet of Li Bai. At that time, Wang Yan was going to Shu, and Li Bai wrote this poem when he saw Wang Yan off in Chang 'an, so that Wang Yan could return to Chang 'an as soon as possible to avoid being framed by villains. Another guess is that this poem was written by Li Baichu when he entered Chang 'an, because he accomplished nothing. When he sent his friend away, Li Bai took this opportunity to express his feelings. But these two points are conjectures, and there is no sufficient evidence, just scholars' guesses.

Personally, I think Shu Dao Nan is a poem written by Li Bai after hitting a wall, because Shu Dao Nan is obviously a lyric poem by borrowing scenery and is aimed at the whole society. "The road is impassable, and the sky is inaccessible!" This sentence is obviously afraid of difficulties, which shows that the poet was frustrated at that time, or thought that his friend would not have a good result, so he felt "heaven". "Shu Dao" can be understood as official career, and translated into Mandarin, it is not easy to be an official, and its difficulty is comparable to heaven.

"We want to know if this road to the west will never end? The terrible road ahead is getting darker, even darker. Nothing can be heard except the cries of birds surrounded by ancient forests. The male bird rotates smoothly and follows the female bird. Jathyapple, what comes to us is the melancholy voice of Du Fu, a sad empty mountain. Shu Dao is difficult to learn, Tian Dao is difficult, and the smell turns pale. " It can be seen from this passage that this poem is a poem to increase friends, and the translated meaning of "Ask Jun" is "good buddy", "old iron", "good friend" and "good brother". What time are you coming back? The poet also used plank roads and sad birds to render the hardships and misery of Shu Dao, making it difficult to walk and sad.

Although Li Bai is a great romantic poet, there are joys and sorrows in his life, and there are also criticisms and cynicism in his works, which just need to be deeply understood. After all, any literary work will carry the author's emotions, even if it is only an answer.
