This poem was written by Li Bai when he was wandering in the east foot of Kaiyuan (713-741). Li Bai moved to the east foot after his trip to Chang 'an in the early years of Tianbao (742-756). This poem was written in Lanling at the east foot. Lanling is a "guest" and should be a work before entering Chang 'an. At this time, the society presents a prosperous scene, and people's mental state is generally high and exciting.
Li Bai, on the other hand, values friendship, loves wine and loves to travel. The scenery of the motherland is full of beauty in his heart. At that time, I met, Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng and Tao Mian in Rencheng Culai Mountain (four miles southeast of Tai 'an County, Shandong Province). At this time, although Li Bai had the ambition to help the world, he also envied the secluded mountains and forests.
In this beautiful natural environment, he sang loudly, reveled in wine, was proud of the mountains and forests, had natural love, was conceited in talent, and had no feeling of being at the end of the road.
