Early Departure from Baidi City
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
The White Emperor's farewell speech is among the colorful clouds, and the rivers and tombs thousands of miles away are returned in one day.
The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Translation
Farewell to Baidi City under the colorful clouds in the early morning. Jiangling, thousands of miles away, can be reached in one day.
The sound of apes on both sides of the strait still echoes in my ears, and the brisk boat has sailed through thousands of green mountains.
