As a gift to commemorate the long valley mountain residence
Author: Tang Lihe
Sweep away the horseshoe marks and I will return to the closed door.
The rice in Pike River is ripe, and the dates in the small trees are spring.
Hang it on the wall as a curtain and a horn towel.
Dogs go to Los Angeles, cranes regret traveling to Qin.
Earth-sealed tea leaves and mountain cups lock bamboo roots.
I wonder who filled the clouds last month.

World names: Li Changji, Gui Cai, Shi Gui, Li Changgu, Li Fengli, together with Li Bai and Li Shangyin, are called "Three Li's" in Tang Dynasty. He is a descendant of the imperial clan in the Tang Dynasty, but he has been in disrepair for a long time and his family is poor. He is talented and won the title of poem in his teens, but he is only a junior official who has been in charge of sacrifice all his life. He was depressed and poor, and died at the age of 27.
Li He is a romantic poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and also a representative of the transition period from the mid-Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. Most of his poems lament the untimely birth, feel depressed and express the pursuit of ideals and ambitions; It reflects the situation that the vassal region was divided, the eunuchs were authoritarian and brutally exploited the people. He likes to gallop in fairy tales and ghost lands, and with his bold and peculiar imagination, he builds a ups and downs artistic realm and expresses his short and fleeting sentimental feelings, so he is called "Shi Gui" by later generations. His poems are called "the words of ghosts and gods" or "Li Changji style".
