Background of creation. In the spring of 759 A.D. (the second year of the reign of Emperor Su of the Tang Dynasty), Li Bai was exiled to Yelang because of the case of Yongwang Li Lan, passing through Chongqing. When he arrived at the White Emperor City, he suddenly received the news of pardon, and he was pleasantly surprised, and then took a boat east to Jiangling. This poem was written by the author when he returned to Gangneung, so the title of the poem is "Lower Gangneung".
At the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong went to Shu, and the prince Li Heng stayed in An Lushan. Xuanzong once ordered his son Yongwang Li Lan to supervise the troops to quell the rebellion, Yongwang Li Lan was in Jiangling, recruited 10,000 soldiers, and set himself apart, Suzong suspected that he was competing for the throne, and he had been heavily pressed, and Li Lan was defeated and killed. Li Bai once participated in the shogunate of the Yongwang Li Lan, and was exiled to Yelang (present-day Zunyi, Guizhou) for the crime of "rebellion", and when he traveled to Wushan (present-day Chongqing), Suzong announced a general amnesty, and Li Bai was also pardoned, and he immediately went east from the White Emperor City and returned to Jiangling (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei) like a bird out of the cage. This poem was written when the boat arrived in Jiangling, so the title of the poem is "The White Emperor goes down to Jiangling". This poem is written about the journey from Baidi City to Jiangling in one day, mainly highlighting the lightness, which also reflects the lightness of Li Bai's mood. At the age of 58, Li Bai was exiled to Yelang, abandoned his wife and children, went to a long distance, and suddenly met pardon and was able to return home, and he was naturally very happy in his heart. In the poem, Li Bai is not directly lyrical, but after reading his description of the trip, I naturally feel his mood and excitement.

Background of creation. In the fifteenth year of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (727), Li Bai returned from his eastward journey and went to Anlu, Hubei, at the age of twenty-seven. He has lived in Anlu for ten years, but many times he meets friends with poetry and wine, travels abroad, and in his own words, "wine hides in Anlu, and he has been stumbling for ten years". That is, during the period of living in Anlu, Li Bai got acquainted with Meng Haoran, who was twelve years older than him. Meng Haoran admired Li Bai very much, and the two soon became close friends. In March of the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan (730), Li Bai learned that Meng Haoran was going to Guangling (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), so he asked someone to bring a letter and asked Meng Haoran to meet in Jiangxia (now Wuchang District, Wuhan City). A few days later, Meng Haoran went east by boat, and Li Bai personally sent it to the riverside. When he said goodbye, he wrote this poem "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling". First, this poem was written in the sixteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty (728).
Li Bai's relationship with Meng Haoran was not long after he came out of Sichuan, when he was young and happy, the world in his eyes was almost as beautiful as **. Meng Haoran, who is more than ten years older than Li Bai, is already famous all over the world at this time. He gave Li Bai the impression that he was intoxicated between the mountains and rivers, free and happy, so Li Bai said in the poem "Gift to Meng Haoran": "I love Master Meng, and I am heard all over the world." The red face abandons the Xuan crown, and the white head lies on the pine cloud. "Besides, this parting is the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, peaceful and prosperous, the season is fireworks in March, the time when spring is the strongest, from the Yellow Crane Tower to Yangzhou, this road is full of flowers. And what about Yangzhou? It was the most prosperous metropolis in the entire southeast region at that time. Li Bai is such a romantic and tourist-loving person, so this parting was completely carried out in a very rich atmosphere of fantasy and lyric poetry. Li Bai did not have any sadness and unhappiness in his heart, on the contrary, he thought that Meng Haoran was very happy on this trip, and he longed for Yangzhou and Meng Haoran.
