Emei Mountain is located in Emei County, southwest of Chengdu, Sichuan. There are many temples in the mountains. Li Bai's Emei Mountain Poems.
There are three familiar songs. One is "Climbing Mount Emei", which was written by the author when he lived in Sichuan in his early years, and the other is "The Moon Song on Mount Emei sends monks to Beijing" written in his later years. This was written when the author left Shu at the age of 26 (726).
If Li Bai went to Mount Emei in his early days to visit Taoism and seek immortality, then the poems he wrote about Mount Emei's monthly songs shortly after he left Sichuan were mainly to express his lofty aspirations and thoughts for his friends. People appreciate this poem very much, but their understanding is quite different.
In the Ming Dynasty, Liu, who quoted volume 47 of the Collection of Tang Poems, said that the poem was "sentimental and sad", and Cheng's "One and Many in the Description and Structure of Ancient Poems" said: "Li Bai's intention is to make a comparison with many places he will pass along the river. To show their relaxed mood downstream.
"If we analyze this poem by contacting Li Bai's motivation to leave Sichuan, it is not difficult to judge the right or wrong of the above two understandings. At that time, the author traveled to Sichuan with ambitions from all directions, and you Dapeng would spread his wings.
At this time, there is no "sadness" at all. On the contrary, there is a great desire to win with the bright moon. Mount Emei originally flowed eastward with the river, and the author went down the river by canoe. Sometimes you can see the mountains and the moon, sometimes you can't, and the bright moon appears and disappears, as if you are chasing yourself.
When you can't see it, it's like leaving mountains and rivers behind. Liu's so-called "emotion" seems to be closer to the original intention than the word "sadness" if it is understood as the author's interest in playing in the mountains and the moon or the joy of going out to Sichuan.
