Original text
Yao Cao will not die in the cold②, transplanted to Cangjiang Bin.
The east wind sprinkles rain and dew, bringing spring into the world.
I am like a leaf in Dongting ③, following the waves to send away the ministers.
I miss my return but can’t find it, so I write this to express my gratitude to my lover.
Notes
① Note: There is a poem title in "Yang Shier's Poetry Collection" that says "In the early Qianyuan Dynasty, Yan Huangmen was demoted to the governor of Bazhou from Jingzhao Shaoyin", so the poem is annotated. It says: At that time, Zhan Shiang was demoted to Qing Huawei by picking up his relics. Huangmen was more than thirty years old, and he was the master of the palace. He was friendly with Xi, wrote poems, and his writings are still extant. Also in Li Hua's "Preface to the Collection of Yang Qicao": Sun Gongti of Chang'an, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was ranked first in articles and was appointed as a merit examiner, Wai Lang, and tested all the talents. Jun and Zhang Maozhi of Nanyang, Du Hongjian of Jingzhao, Yan Zhenqing of Langya, Xiao Yingshi of Lanling, Liu Fang of Hedong, Zhao Hua of Tianshui, Li Ju of Dunqiu, Li Wei and Li Qi of Zhaojun, Zhang Jie of Nanyang, Yan Fang of Changshan, and Zhang Nanrong of Fanyang , Gaoping Qie'ang, etc., have been ranked first in succession.
②Jiang Yan’s poem: “Yaocao is in full bloom.” Li Shan’s note: “Yaocao is the same as Yuzhi.” Refers to Yuzhi.
③ "Chu Ci": "Dongting is rippled under the wooden leaves."
Translation
Yaocao survives the cold and can be transplanted to the fairyland Cang The riverside of the river.
If you encounter the east wind and the rain and dew, it will be full of spring along with the heaven and earth.
I am like the fallen leaves of Dongting Lake, following the storm, I will send you to the distant place where you are relegated.
I also miss my hometown, but I can’t go back. I wrote this poem as a gift to lovers to express my feelings.

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 touch 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.
