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 to satirize Zhang Qiu, the governor of Shu at that time. Joan wanted to be independent and didn't 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.
