Writing background
Li Bai had the ambition to help the world in his early years, but he disdained to be promoted through the imperial examination, hoping to become an important official by leaps and bounds. As a result, he roamed all over the country and made friends with celebrities, thus gaining a good reputation. In the first year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (742), Wu Jun, a friend of Li Bai, recommended Li Bai to Xuanzong, and Xuanzong called him to Chang 'an. Li Bai had high hopes for this trip to Chang 'an, and wrote in his farewell poem "Don't go on an expedition to the mainland" to his wife: "If you wear a golden seal when you return, don't see Su Qin disembark." When Li Bai first arrived in Chang 'an, he had a brief pride, but he was arrogant and refused to go along with the powerful. Gao Lishi, the favorite of Xuanzong, took off his boots because of drunkenness and offended dignitaries. Even Xuanzong was dissatisfied with him. He only lived in Chang 'an for more than a year, and then he returned the gold to him, and his dream of becoming famous by cloth clothes was completely shattered. After Li Bai left Chang 'an, he first met Du Fu in Luoyang and forged a friendship. Later, he went with Liang and Song, and Gao Shi also came to meet him. The three of them went to Shandong together Shortly after arriving in Yanzhou, Du Fuxi entered Chang 'an and Li Bai went south to meet Ji (Shaoxing). This poem was written by him before he left. Title: "Yin" is a style of ancient poetry, which is mostly mournful, free and lively and eclectic in form. "Dream of Climbing Mount Tianmu" is a poem about the dream trip of Mount Tianmu, which is left to friends at the east foot as a farewell.

The cave is full of stone leaves with an opening in the middle. (23) Qingming (24) is bottomless, but today the moon shines on the gold and silver platform (25). Then, wearing rainbow costumes and riding the wind, the king of clouds Xi(26) came down one after another. Tiger drum, jazz, love (Luan) entered (27), row after row, like hemp in the field, fairy tale characters in the range. When I moved, my soul flew out of the sky, and suddenly (hu m: ng) (28) started up and grew long (ji). Pillow cushion when I feel (jué)(29), is the lost cloud in which I once lived. (30)
This is the consistent way of human happiness, and all kinds of things will always flow to the east like water (3 1). So I'm leaving you. I don't know how long it will take. But let me, on my green slope, raise a white deer, and you must walk and ride (qí) to visit famous mountains. Ann can give in to powerful people, and these people never feel pain because they are seen with a sincere face.

It is really difficult for overseas guests to find Yingzhou because there are few smoke waves. When Shaoxing people talk about Tianmu Mountain, they can sometimes see it in the mist, and the glow is shining. Tianmu Mountain towering into the sky, connected with the sky, horizontally out of the sky. The mountain is higher than the five mountains, covering Chicheng Mountain. Tiantai Mountain is 10000 feet high (10000 is the correct version, and 40000 is verified to be misinformed). It seems that it leans to the southeast in front of Tianmu Mountain, and worships itself.
I sleepwalked to Shaoxing as the Vietnamese said. One night, I flew over Jinghu Lake under the bright moon. The moonlight on Jinghu Lake shone on my shadow and sent me to Tongxi. The place where Xie Lingyun lived is still there. The clear lake is rippling and apes are singing. Wearing Xie Gong's special wooden shoes on his feet, he climbed the mountain road and went straight into the sky. Halfway up the mountain, I saw the sun rising from the sea and the sound of pheasants coming from the air. The mountain road is winding and the direction is uncertain. I am obsessed with flowers and leaning on stones, and I don't feel that it is getting late. Bears are growling, dragons are ringing, springs in rocks are shaking, making forests tremble and mountain peaks tremble. The clouds are dark, as if it is going to rain, and the water waves fluctuate and produce smoke. Lightning and thunder, the mountain seems to have collapsed. The stone gate of Xianfu opened with a bang in the middle. It was dark, and the bottom of the cave could not be seen. The sun and the moon shine on the palace made of gold and silver. Dressed in rainbows, riding the wind like a horse, the immortals in the clouds descended to earth one after another. The tiger plays the piano and the phoenix pulls the cart. The immortals lined up like hemp. Suddenly shocked, suddenly awakened, long sigh. When I woke up, there was only a pillow mat around me. The smoke and clouds I just saw in my dream were gone.
So is the joy of the world. Since ancient times, everything has gone forever. When will you come back from Jun? For the time being, first graze the white deer between the green cliffs, and then ride it to visit the famous mountains in Sichuan. How can I grovel and serve the powerful, making my heart unhappy and miserable!
