A famous saying about aiming high: A big roc rises with the wind in one day and soars up to ninety thousand miles. If the wind stops and comes down, it can still shake away the water. ——Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

Interpretation:

The wings of a roc flap down into the water for three thousand miles, and soar up to ninety thousand miles. Even without the help of the power of wind, just one blow of its wings can blow away the vast water.

Li Bai (February 28, 701 - December 762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi, also known as "Exiled Immortal", was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. A romantic poet, he was hailed as the "Immortal of Poetry" by later generations, and was called "Li Du" together with Du Fu, in order to distinguish him from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, namely "Little Li Du".

Li Bai's "Collection of Li Taibai" has been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall", "The Road is Difficult", "The Road to Shu is Difficult", "About Drinking" and "Early Hair Gray". "Imperial City" and many other songs. Song people have biographies of Li Bai's poems and poems (such as the first volume of Wen Ying's "Xiangshan Wild Records"). In terms of its pioneering significance and artistic achievements, "Li Bai's poems" enjoy an extremely high status.

Li Bai studied a wide range of subjects in his boyhood. In addition to Confucian classics and ancient literary and historical masterpieces, he also browsed the books of hundreds of schools of thought. He has long believed that he likes to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, seek immortality and learn Taoism; at the same time, he also has political ambitions to make contributions. On the one hand, he has to be an otherworldly hermit and immortal, and on the other hand, he has to be the assistant and minister of the monarch. This creates a contradiction between being born in the world and joining the world.
