Being alone in Yuntai is like wandering in a dream. This is a poem written by Li Baiyao in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.

Original text:

Boyi moved to Saibei and Timbuktu Liaodong.

I am a guest, and I am alone in Yuntai.

Vernacular translation:

Cai Yong was moved to Saibei, and Cui Jian came to Liaodong. I am alone in Yuntai like a tourist.

Extended data creation background:

Li Baiyao wrote a palace poem, such as Going Out in Early Spring, but this poem is contrary to all the creative principles of palace poems. Li Baiyao stuffed two historical precedents similar to his situation in his poems, namely, Cai Yong's exile and Cui Jian's humble status in Northeast China granted by Dou Xian. They are all scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The legend of Hengyang is the end of the geese's south tour.

Compared with Wei Zhi's Shu Huai, both poems end in affirmation of principles and moral determination. Li Baiyao said: It is unfair to hurt an official. Wei Zhi said, "Life is full of passion, and fame will be discussed again." . There are similarities between the two poems in using historical patterns and describing landscapes. This is a poem written by Li Baiyao in exile and adversity. It can be seen that when he is frustrated, he often writes self-expression poems that are out of court style and convention.
