Abstract

Mount Skyland Ascended in a Dream — A Song of Farewell contains Li Bai’s unique philosophy of life and self-will. It was written before he was rewarded and banished with money, returned to his hometown in Donglu, and set off again after temporarily residing. This is a significant turning point in his life. In the poem, he uses his dream as the basis, and with his excellent space imagination, shows the world multiple fantastic and magnificent poetic spaces — natural space, fairyland space, and free space. These space imaginations loop back and forth, layer upon layer, allowing people to appreciate the beauty of poetry and at the same time embody Li Bai’s unique life experience, illuminating his philosophical thinking and detachment about life, all of which are derived from his high-spirited self-conscious.
