Zaofa baidicheng
Author: Li Bai Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
Translation:
In the morning, the morning glow is all over the sky, and I am about to embark on my return journey. Looking up from the river, you can see the colorful clouds in Baidicheng, such as among the clouds, and the scenery is gorgeous! Jiangling, thousands of miles away, arrived in one day. The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are constantly echoing. When the ape's crow was still ringing in his ears, the brisk boat had crossed the endless mountains.
Extended data
The first sentence "Caiyun" describes the high terrain of Baidicheng, which is ready for the whole article to describe the dynamic of underwater boats moving fast. The word "room" in Colorful Clouds is taken as the meaning of partition. The poet looks back at Baidi City above the white clouds, and everything before seems to have happened in a previous life. When it comes to describing the height of Patty City, the speed of water travel is in the gap.
If you don't write the height of Baidicheng, you can't reflect the big gradient gap between the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Baidicheng is very high in the sky, so the following sentences describe the rapidity of the boat trip, the shortness of the trip, and the crowded ears (apes) and eyes (Chung Shan Man).
Only one landing after another. "Colorful Clouds" is also a description of the morning scenery, showing a fine weather from gloomy to bright. At this dawn moment, the poet bid farewell to Baidicheng in a hurry with excitement.
The second sentence "a thousand miles" and "a day" contrast the distance of space and the brevity of time. Here, the ingenious place lies in the word "back". "Return" means return.
It not only shows the poet's joy of traveling thousands of miles a day, but also reveals the joy of forgiveness. Jiangling is not Li Bai's hometown, but the word "return" is as kind as going home. The word "return" is vivid in the dark, which deserves readers' deep thinking.
