Early Release of Ancient Poems in Baidicheng

Zaofa baidicheng

(Tang) Li Bai

Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.

The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.

Poetic:

In the morning, the morning glow is all over the sky, and I am about to embark on my return journey. Looking up from the river, you can see the colorful clouds in Baidicheng, such as among the clouds, how gorgeous the scenery is! Jiangling, thousands of miles away, will be returned in one day. Apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait kept crying and echoing. The ape's crow is still ringing in my ears, and the brisk boat has crossed the endless mountains.

First Coming to Baidicheng is a seven-character quatrain written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he was pardoned during his exile. This is one of Li Bai's most famous poems. The poet combined the happy mood after forgiveness with the grandeur of the countryside and the smooth and brisk sailing along the river. The whole poem is full of exaggeration and whimsy. Elegant and shocking, but not artificial, casual and natural.
