Issue 1 Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou by the Yellow Crane Tower
My old friend resigned from the Yellow Crane Tower,
Fireworks fell in Yangzhou in March.
Lonely sails, distant shadows, blue sky,
Only the Yangtze River flows in the sky.
This poem is a famous farewell poem. Although it says goodbye, there is no parting in it. On the contrary, it is elegant, lively, cheerful, affectionate, meaningful and sad, with a long lasting charm and deep friendship. The poem "Fireworks in March in Yangzhou" is particularly wonderful and is called "the eternal quatrain".
Second place "Early Baidu City"
Say goodbye to Bai Di,
Thousands of miles in Jiangling, one day.
Apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait kept crying.
The canoe has crossed Chung Shan Man.
This is a masterpiece of Li Bai in his later years, and it is one of Li Bai's masterpieces. In the first year of Gan Yuan (758), Li Bai was exiled to Yelang because of the Li Lin case in Wang Yong. In the spring of the second year (759), when he arrived in Baidicheng, he suddenly received the news of being pardoned. Li Bai was so happy that he immediately went to Jiangling by boat and wrote this lively and quick poem on the way.
This poem combines magnificent rivers and mountains, smooth and brisk boating, and the author's happy mood after forgiveness. Beautiful, elegant and natural. The language of this poem is natural and fluent, without any traces of carving, and the height of Li Bai's technique is amazing.
Third place "Looking at Lushan Waterfall"
Rizhao incense burner produces purple smoke,
Looking at the waterfall hanging in front of Sichuan.
Flying down from 3,000 feet,
It's been nine days since I suspected that the Milky Way had set.
This is one of Li Bai's masterpieces, and it is a "masterpiece" about Lushan Waterfall, with a high reputation. The last sentence of this poem, "Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days", is full of imagination and exaggeration, and has been widely praised for thousands of years, making countless people who visit Lushan Waterfall helpless and have to write about it.
