早发白帝城
【唐】李白
朝辞白帝彩云间，
千里江陵一日还。
两岸猿声啼不住，
轻舟已过万重山。
李白（701年－762年），字太白，号青莲居士，又号“谪仙人”，是唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人，被后人誉为“诗仙”。据《新唐书》记载，李白为兴圣皇帝（凉武昭王李暠）九世孙，与李唐诸王同宗。其人爽朗大方，爱饮酒作诗，喜交友。
LI Bai (701-762), Venus by courtesy name and Green Lotus and Exiled Immortal by literary names, an excellent romantic poet in the Tang dynasty, has been praised as “God of Poetry”. According to New Book of Tang, Li descended from Emperor Xingsheng (i.e. Li Hao, Lord Martial Glare of Liang), and had the same ancestry with the royal family, the Li House in the Tang dynasty. He was hearty, generous, and keen on drinking, composing poems and making friends.
Early Departure from Whitegod
By LI Bai
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
I leave Whitegod mid clouds hued by the sun;
Three hundred miles to Chaste is one day’s run.
The apes ashore can’t stop me with their shrills;
The skiff downstream passes ten thousand hills.
