Since the world can't satisfy our desire, I'll loosen my hair tomorrow and take a fishing boat.

It means: life is alive and cannot be satisfied. It's better to have long hair and board a boat on the Yangtze River.

Said by: A farewell poem written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he met Li Yun in Xuancheng (present-day Anhui) and climbed the Xie Tiao Building together. Original text:

Shu Yun, a farewell school book in Xiejilou, Xuanzhou.

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

I had to leave Potter and me since yesterday.

It hurts my heart even more today.

Autumn geese are escorted by Changfeng, and I treat them in this villa and drink my wine.

The bones of great writers are all your brushes. In Tianyuan, I grew up beside you, Xiao Xie.

We are all lofty distant thoughts, longing for the sky and the bright moon.

But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with a sword, sadness will come back, even though we drown them with wine.

Since the world can't satisfy our desire, I will loosen my hair and get on a fishing boat tomorrow.

Translation:

It was a long time ago when you left me yesterday.

I'm uneasy today, which makes people worry a lot.

Wan Li Changfeng, send the autumn geese away. Facing the beautiful scenery, you can drink tall buildings.

Mr. Wang's articles are full of Jian 'an style, showing the beauty of poetic style from time to time.

You and I are full of super interest and want to go to the sky to hold the bright moon.

Draw a knife to cut off the water flow, and the water wave will flow more smoothly; I want to raise a glass to dispel my worries, and my worries are even stronger.

In this world, if you can't be satisfied, it's better to have long hair and board a boat on the Yangtze River.

Creative background:

This poem was written shortly before the An Shi Rebellion. Li Bai came to Xuanzhou in the autumn of 753 AD (the twelfth year of Tianbao) and soon lived in Xuanzhou. An old friend of his, Li Yunxing, came here.

He was leaving soon, and Li Bai accompanied him to Xie Tiao Building and gave a banquet to see him off. Xie Tiao Building in Xuanzhou was built by Xie Tiao, a poet of Southern Qi Dynasty, when he was the magistrate of Xuancheng. Li Bai has visited this place many times, and wrote a poem "Autumn Ascending the North Building of Xie Tiao in Xuancheng".

Appreciate:

This poem first describes the pain of wasting time serving the country, then praises the talents and ambitions of both the host and the guest, and finally ends with the bitterness of birth. The whole poem is full of strong emotional color, full of emotions like wild waves, and the brushwork is as unconstrained as the sky.

The poems express the anguish and unrequited ambition of wasted years, praise the articles in the late Han Dynasty, praise the heroic spirit of Jian 'an and Xie Tiao's poems, and finally reveal the negative feelings of life.

The beginning of the poem is abrupt, because Li Bai was depressed at that time, so when he saw his uncle Li Yun (played by Li Hua) who could talk to him, he vented his grievances. Li Bai sacrificed to the Hanlin in Tianbao, but he was not taken seriously politically and was vilified by powerful people.

Before long, I abandoned my official position and lived a vagrant life. The bitterness of the past ten years, the depression and sadness of traveling abroad are all accumulated in my heart, and today I can finally get it off my chest.

The words "Changfeng" are lyrical by borrowing scenery. On a crisp autumn day, when I saw the wild geese in autumn, I was refreshed and my troubles were swept away. I feel comfortable in my heart and environment, and I feel proud of drinking tall buildings.

Penglai is a farewell dinner for high-rise buildings, written separately by the host and the guest. Praise Li Yun's writing style with Jian 'an Bone. "China is the guiding direction" refers to Xie Tiao, because he is Xiao Xie after Xie Lingyun.

Here, Li Bai compares himself with Xiao Xie, showing his confidence in his talents. The phrase "aim high and look at the sky and the bright moon" expresses the author's great ambition. And the word "LAN" is very expressive. Exaggerated. Expressed the author's lofty aspirations.

It is strange and creative to use the word "drawing a sword" to describe the inner anguish that cannot be solved. The phrase "raising a glass" expresses the frustration he can't get rid of, and he can only worry about it. It also expresses the sadness of leaving.

The last two sentences are the poet's angry words about the reality. Li Bai, who has been in the depression of dissatisfaction for a long time, has to seek another kind of detachment, that is, "sending a boat." Escaping from reality is not his intention.

However, the historical conditions at that time and his lofty and indulgent personality prevented him from finding a better way out. This poem uses the ups and downs of brushwork to directly express the sadness in the chest at the beginning and express strong dissatisfaction with reality.

Then he went to the next day thousands of miles away, refreshed, talked about the past and the present, compared himself with Xiao Xie, and showed his great ambition of "holding the bright moon in heaven". So the poet returned to the depressed reality from the beautiful ideal realm.

There is no choice but to escape from reality. The whole poem is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and there is a heroic passion running through the grief and indignation, which shows the poet's heroic spirit.
