The origin of the poem "walk in the guest

The poem "Walking in a Passenger's Home" is a reversal of the ancient poetic tradition of traveler's nostalgia, expressing the optimistic feelings of being a guest but happy without realizing that he is in another place, fully expressing Li Bai's bold and unrestrained personality, and reflecting the atmosphere of the Shengtang period from one side.

Li Bai moved to Donglu after his trip to Chang'an in the early years of Tianbao (Tang Xuanzong's reign, 742-756). This poem was written in Lanling in Donglu, and the name Lanling as "guest center" suggests that it was written during the reign of Emperor Kaiyuan (Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (713-741)), i.e., before he entered the capital. At this time, the society presented a prosperous scene of wealth and material beauty, people's mental state is generally more high spirits, and Li Bai is even more important to the friendship, love of wine, love of travel. The mountains and rivers of the motherland are full of beautiful scenery in his mind.
