Poems by Li Bai, a great poet in Tang Dynasty? Tianmu Mountain Ascended in a Dream, a poem about dreams, is also a poem about immortals. However, this poem, which is written in Wonderland, is different from ordinary fairy poems. It has deep feelings and fierce protests. It is not really based on illusion, but still focuses on reality in the illusory description of the fairy world.
The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:
Clouds darken with darkness of rain, streams pale with pallor of mist.
The Gods of Thunder and Lightning, the hills are crumbling. Cave stone gate, venting in the pit of heaven.
An impenetrable shadow, but now the sun and moon illumine a gold and silver terrace. ?
The translation is as follows:
The clouds were dark, as if it were going to rain, and the water waves fluctuated and produced smoke.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the mountain seemed to collapse.
The Shimen of Xianfu opened from the middle with a bang.
The blue sky in the cave is boundless, and there is no end in sight. The sun and the moon shine on the palace made of gold and silver.
The notes are as follows:
1, Qingqing: dark.
2. Hey: The ups and downs of the waves.
3. Missing: refers to lightning.
4. Cave Heaven: the abode of immortals. Door leaf: Door leaf. A "fan".
5. (hōng) Ran: It describes a loud voice.
6. Qing Ming: refers to the sky. Mighty: broad and ambitious.
7. Jinyintai: A palace made of gold and silver refers to the place where immortals live.
Extended data:
This poem was written after Li Bai went out to the Hanlin, and it was written in four years (745) and five years (746). In the third year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (744), Li Bai was pushed out by powerful people in Chang 'an, and was released from Beijing and returned to his home in Donglu (now Shandong). Then set foot on the journey of roaming again. This poem describing a dream trip to Tianmu Mountain was written about the time when Li Bai was about to leave East Shandong for wuyue.
After leaving Chang 'an, he once lived with Du Fu, Gao Shi You Liang, Song, Qi, Lu and Donglu for a period. At this time, Donglu's home is quite large, so you can enjoy yourself at home to spend time. But Li Bai didn't do it. He has an unstable soul, and he has a higher and further pursuit, so he left his home in Donglu and set foot on the journey of roaming again.
This poem was written when he bid farewell to his friends in Donglu, so it was titled "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Mountain and Farewell to the Duke of Donglu".
