This is the farewell work of the author's life in Yuezhou (Baling, now Yueyang). Liu Liang was a friend of the author Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan), and met the poet when he entered the DPRK through Yuezhou. At that time, the author was demoted to the secretariat of Yuezhou, and wrote this poem when he was going to bid farewell to Liang Zhiwei. Dongting Mountain (Junshan) is very close to Baling, so the title cloud is sent from Dongting Mountain.
This is a farewell work by Zhang Yue, a minister in the Tang Dynasty.
The original text is:
As soon as Baling looks at the cave in autumn, the solitary peak rises day by day.
I heard that immortals can't meet, and their hearts are lingering with the lake.
Translation:
Looking at autumn scenery in the Dongting Lake area of Baling, all I can see is this lonely military mountain floating in the water.
Legend has it that a fairy once lived on this junshan mountain, but no one saw it. My heart swells with the rippling lake.
Extended data
By describing the scenery of Dongting Lake, this poem expresses the author's depressed mood of traveling as an official in a foreign land and his nostalgia for the imperial court. In poetry, the poet's mood is always accompanied by the landscape of Dongting Lake, and the landscapes of Dongting Lake and Junshan Mountain are all drawn with the poet's strong subjective feelings.
The first sentence said "Look at Baling", but the last three words were suddenly swallowed, and they became "autumn scenery in Dongting", which was purely about the scenery. The scenery is not exaggerated or colored, it is very simple. There is a beautiful Junshan on Dongting Lake, steaming like a dream, shaking Yueyang. It may not feel so fresh when you meet it every day. But today, it is different. It will be more lonely in it.
When the poet saw Junshan and met the legend, he couldn't help but be fascinated. The three sentences then turned from real writing to imaginary writing, from scenery writing to lyricism. Literally, it seems far from saying goodbye. The inexplicable melancholy revealed by "not meeting the immortal" has a subtle relationship with other feelings.
The theory of immortals is so illusory and Dongting Lake is so vast that poets have to worry about it and stay away from lake waves. Not just "out of reach". At present, my friend's sail has gone with the lake and become "out of reach", and my heart can't help touching the lake.
