Appreciation of poetry and prose

This poem was written by Bai Juyi on his way to Hangzhou in the second year of Changqing. At that time, the court politics was dark, and the party struggle between Niu and Li was fierce. The poet tasted the taste of being an official and asked to go abroad. This poem reflects the author's relaxed and carefree mood after leaving the imperial court. In this poem, the poet uses novel and ingenious metaphors to create a harmonious and peaceful artistic conception, and expresses his deep feelings and love for nature through chanting.
