Li Bai's Poems on Jingting Mountain

I. Translation

Birds in the mountains flew away one by one, and the last white cloud in the sky floated away leisurely. Jingtingshan and I looked at each other, and no one could get enough of it. It seems that only Jingting Mountain understands me.

Second, the creative background

Jingting Mountain, located in Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui), is a famous county in the south of the Yangtze River since the Six Dynasties. Great poets such as Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao once served as satrap here. Li Bai visited Xuancheng seven times in his life. This five-line poem was written when he visited Xuanzhou in the autumn of 753 (the twelfth year of Tianbao). After Li Bai was forced to leave Chang 'an, he came to Xuancheng after ten years of wandering.

The long-term wandering life made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world, thus deepening his dissatisfaction with reality and increasing his sense of loneliness. However, his arrogance and stubbornness remain the same as before. During this period, he wrote a lot of poems to relieve his depression by wandering around immortals and drinking, and also wrote a lot of poems to express his feelings and feelings.

Third, appreciate

This poem is a masterpiece of the poet to express his spiritual world. On the surface, this poem describes a person's interest in traveling in Jingting Mountain, but its deep meaning is the poet's loneliness all his life. With his peculiar imagination and ingenious conception, the poet gave life to the landscape and personified Jingting Mountain, which was very vivid. The author writes about his loneliness and his lack of talent, but he is more determined and seeks comfort and sustenance in nature.
