The sky is clear and the water flows smoothly.
The water suddenly runs out, and the sky is gone.
It's too late to go to scalper three times.
Three times, I don't feel my temples become silk.
Translation:
Bashui crosses Wushan, and Wushan is sandwiched with blue sky.
The water suddenly seems to be at the end, and the sky is still trapped inside.
Three mornings in Huangniuxia and three nights in Huangniuxia.
You can't get out of Huangniu Gorge for three days and nights like this. How can people not worry about their temples?
2. Walking into the summer shrine of Badong-Tang Bai Juyi
I don't know when the distant county will arrive, but I hope the whole family will go with me.
Outside the Three Gorges, Wan Li City has lived in a boat for a hundred years.
Wushan is full of flowers, and there are many headwinds in spring.
Two red drums to go to Badong.
Translation:
It's a long way. I don't know when the distant county (Zhongzhou) will arrive. Fortunately, the whole family doesn't feel lonely.
Sent thousands of miles away by the king to the Three Gorges, the livelihood of the whole family is carried by boat.
Wushan night, drizzle wet flowers, sailing against the current, bathing in spring breeze and spring rain.
Seeing red flags flying on both sides of Badong, drums were everywhere, urging the ship to move forward.
Extended data
Although there are only eight sentences and forty words in the whole poem "Upper Three Gorges", it fully shows the poet's hard walking and inner pain when he went to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. There are many ways to express this poem, and the language is natural and true. Although it reveals melancholy and sad mood, the weather is magnificent and the artistic conception is open, which shows the heroic spirit of the poet.
The background of the establishment of the Three Gorges upstream;
This was done by Li Bai when he exiled Yelang in Tang Suzong in February 759, passing through the Three Gorges. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Wang Yongren Li Lin started his career with the call of putting down the rebellion. He sent messengers to invite Li Bai to his shogunate three times, and Li Bai applied for the job out of a good desire to serve the country and make meritorious service. In the second year of Zhide (757), there was a power struggle among Hengli, Tang Suzong and Yongli Emperor Li Lin, and Hengli wiped out Li Lin's army.
Li Bai was found guilty and put into Xunyang prison. Later, Yelang was exiled. He went upstream from Jiujiang to Yichang for nearly a year, then entered the Three Gorges and wrote this poem. Li Bai was 59 years old. The Three Gorges is the most steep and difficult section of the Yangtze River. The journey here is slower than before, and his wife, master and brother-in-law who saw him off have bid farewell to Nanchang, so the poet feels more lonely and in a worse mood.
