Message to Meng Haoran
Master, I cheer you from the bottom of my heart. Your fame has risen to the sky.
In the rosy youth, you gave up the importance of hats and chariots and chose pine trees and clouds; Now whitehead.
Drunk moon, sage of dreams, bewitched by flowers, you turned a deaf ear to the emperor.
Gaoshan, how I long to reach you, that's all.
Explanation:
I have great respect for Mr Meng's solemnity. He is a noble and charming man, famous all over the world. When I was a teenager, I despised fame and disliked official chariots and horses. When I am old, I retire to the mountains and abandon the dust. On a moonlit night, he is often drunk and elegant. He is not infatuated with flowers and plants, and has an open mind. How can a mountain-like figure look up to him? Only here to pay tribute to his fragrant moral glory!

Meng Haoran (689-740), whose real name is Haoran, was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei). He was a famous pastoral poet in Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "Meng Xiangyang" by the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called Monsanto.
Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he was determined to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he was able to respect himself, not flatter the vulgar world, and practice seclusion for life. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. Traveling to Chang 'an at the age of 40 should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote a poem named Gong Qing in imperial academy, and he wrote for it.
In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Zhang Jiuling became a shogunate general and later lived in seclusion. Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression.
