1. Original poems
Six poems (Part 1) Li Bai
It is snowing in the mountains in May, but there are no flowers, only cold.
I heard broken willows in the flute, but I have never seen the spring scenery.
Watch the battle at dawn with the golden drum, sleep with the jade saddle in your arms at night.
I am willing to put my sword down from my waist to kill Loulan.
2. Translation
There is still snow in the Qilian Mountains in May, and there are no flowers in bloom, only the biting cold. The flute plays the melody of folding willows, but where can I find the green willows in spring. During the day, he fights with the sound of golden drums, and at night, he falls asleep leaning on the saddle. He just wants to wield the sword under his waist, pass through the enemy, cut down the generals, and defeat the enemy.
3. Introduction to the author
Li Bai (701-762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi.
His ancestral home was in Chengji, Longxi (now southwest of Jingning, Gansu Province). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ancestors lived in Suiye (near today's Tokmak, northern Kyrgyzstan). When he was young, he moved with his father to Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan). At the age of 25, he "said farewell to relatives and traveled far away" and left Shu with a sword. Tianbao initially served in the Imperial Academy, but was slandered by the powerful and left Chang'an in just over a year. During the Anshi Rebellion, he served as an aide to King Yong Lin. Because Lin was defeated in Xunyang Prison, he was banished to Yelang, but he was pardoned and returned to the east.
In his later years, he went to his uncle, Li Yangbing, who ordered him to Dangtu. He later died in Dangtu and was buried in Longshan. In the twelfth year of Tang Yuanhe (817), Fan Chuanzheng, the observer of Xuanshechi, moved his tomb to Qingshan according to Li Bai's last wish of "aiming at Qingshan" during his lifetime. There are thirty volumes of "Collected Works of Li Taibai" in circulation.
