Li Du's article is here, and its glory is endless.
I don’t know how stupid the crowd is, so I will slander them.
It is ridiculous to think that an earthworm shakes a big tree.
When Yiwo gave birth to him, he raised his neck and looked at each other from a distance.
Dreams are common at night, and thoughts during the day are vague.
Only observe the chisel marks of the axe, but not the control of water and navigation.
When I want to use my hand, the giant blade will sharpen the sky.
The cliffs collapse, and the universe is shaken by thunder.
But these two husbands and wives have a desolate home.
The emperor wanted to chant for a long time, so he sent him to stand still.
Cut the feathers and put them in a cage to watch hundreds of birds flying.
Thousands of chapters in my life, full of golden leaves.
The immortal official ordered Liu Ding to take the general under thunder and lightning.
Those who live in the world are like a flicker of light from Mount Tai.
I would like to have two wings and hunt them out of the wilderness.
Sincerity and sudden communication, all kinds of strange things enter my intestines.
The stinging hand pulls out the whale's teeth and lifts the gourd to drink the heavenly liquid.
The body is covered with sweat, without Weaver Girl's embroidery.
Gu Yu is a friend on the ground and is not too busy with business.
I beg you to wear the flying clouds and compete with me.
Translation?
The presence of Li Bai and Du Fu illuminates the poetry world like a ray of light. But they don’t know that the frivolous scholars are ignorant, so how can they use old slanderous words to slander them? Just like the ants trying to shake the tree, it's ridiculous that they don't estimate themselves. Although I live after Li Du, I often miss and admire them.
I often dream about them at night, but when I wake up I think about them vaguely. Li Bai and Du Fu's articles made immortal achievements just like Yu the Great cut mountains and controlled floods, but they only left some traces of chiseling, and it is difficult for people to see the operation process of flood control at that time. I recall that when they wielded their giant axes, the cliffs split open, the blocked flood poured out, and the heaven and earth reverberated with the loud sound of landslides and ground cracks. But these two masters were mostly in a cold and difficult situation; it was as if the Emperor of Heaven deliberately let them rise up and be trapped in order to achieve success in their poetry. They are like birds whose feathers have been clipped and imprisoned in a cage. They are not allowed to spread their wings and fly, and can only watch in pain as the birds fly freely outside. They wrote tens of thousands of beautiful poems in their lifetime, which are as beautiful and valuable as gold and jade. However, most of them seemed to have been taken away by the immortal officials sent by divine soldiers in the sky. What has been spread in the world is just the slightest bit of Mount Tai. . I wish I could give birth to two wings and pursue their realm, even in remote places. I was finally able to connect sincerely with the poets of my generation, and then, all kinds of strange poetic scenes came into my heart: pulling out the sharp teeth of the whale in the sea with my backhand, holding the big ladle high, drinking the fairy wine in the heavenly palace, suddenly rising up, and swimming in the sky. In the vast and infinite sky, I am free and full of the sounds of nature, and I don't even bother to wear the heavenly clothes made by the Weaver Girl. I turn back to you on the ground and say, don’t always dig into the piles of books to find chapters and excerpts, and be busy doing business. You should learn from Li and Du together with me, and fly high in the vast world of poetry.
