Kinmen's Reply to Su Xiucai
Author: Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
On the day you return to Shimen, the red fire begins to change the wood (1 ).
If the spring grass is sentimental, there is still green in the mountains.
I am ashamed to recall the distant memory (2), and I should take my own way on the eternal road (3).
Foresight is enough for a lifetime.
The huge sea accommodates hundreds of rivers (4), and Linge has many talents (5).
Present books to the Golden Que (6), drink wine and serve at the Qiong Banquet (7).
Repeatedly sing about the white clouds (8), and respectfully hear about the yellow bamboos (9).
The grace and light are poor (10), and Yunhan hopes to move (11).
If the Mingding tripod succeeds (12), the flat boat will disappear (13).
I will stay in Kinmen while you go to sleep in Dan Valley (14).
Unable to achieve the three mountain stage (15), I enjoy the joy of a hill in the distance (16).
Xuanzhu is sent to Xiangwang (17), and Chishui is not limited (18).
I wish to visit seagulls in the east (19) and camp in the west yam (20).
Mr. Qiyan is dead, and the world is still alive (21).
Good times are not rewarded, and you should live in leisure forever.
Birds sing in the trees among the eaves, and flowers fall in the window, writing under the window.
I saw green Xiao (22) by the edge of the stream, and red sprouts (23) across the creek.
Plucking Wei and Smiling Song (24), why do you love me so much?
The moon rises between the stone mirrors, and the pines sing in the organ (25).
The heart is empty and wonderful, and the external objects are empty and decadent (26). Life experience is like two forgotten things, and I always smoke and drink from you.

Appreciation
Li Bai wrote in his poem: "The heart is empty and wonderful, and the external things are empty and decadent." Judging from the two lines in the poem "I stayed in Kinmen while you went to sleep in the Dan Valley", Su Xiucai's seclusion is indeed extraordinary: "Birds are singing in the trees under the eaves, flowers are falling under the windows and books are written. Green Xiao is seen along the stream, and Xiu is across the river. Peeping at the red twigs, picking weeds and singing songs, why do you love me so much? The moon rises between the stone mirrors, and the pines sing in the organ." Li Bai has always been passionate about this kind of natural scenery, so he imagined that Su Xiucai must be nostalgic for him, so much so that "his life experience is like two forgotten things, and he always follows the emperor." Li Bai, who was waiting for the imperial edict to Jinmen, seemed unable to restrain his inner expectations, saying that he had forgotten his life experience and would follow Su Xiucai to spend his whole life in nature. The "de" in "De Xin Zi Xu Miao" refers to both Su Xiucai and, of course, Li Bai.

There is also "The Collection of Li Taibai" handed down to the world. He died of illness in Dangtu, Anhui in 762 at the age of 61.
Li Bai's poetry creation has a strong subjective color, which mainly focuses on expressing heroic spirit and passionate feelings, and rarely gives detailed descriptions of objective things and specific times. The free and uninhibited temperament, the arrogant and independent personality, and the strong emotions that are easy to be touched and explode form the distinctive characteristics of Li Bai's lyrical style of poetry. He tends to be eruptive. Once his emotions are aroused, they rush out without restraint, like a violent surge in the sky and an erupting volcano. His imagination is strange, often has unusual connections, and changes with the flow of emotions.
