Poetry Travels Thousands of Miles: Li Fang's Tang Poems: the Floating Life

Internet writer Li Fang has been trapped in a creative bottleneck for a long time. Unable to write satisfactory words, unable to cope with endless reminders, and increasingly anxious, he was like a writing machine with its soul hollowed out, idling day after day. He decided to put down the keyboard and embark on an unplanned journey in search of poetry. From the hazy mist and rain in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, to the sunrise and sea of clouds on the top of Mount Tai; from the sound of rolling waves by the Yangtze River, to the lonely smoke and sunset in the Dunhuang Desert; from the dangerous climb on the Shu Road, to the quiet solitude by the Peach Blossom Stream; from Gu The midnight bell outside Su City, to the long-awaited reunion by the Qujiang Pond; from the imagination of the Milky Way in front of the Lushan Waterfall, to the affectionate farewell in the morning rain in Weicheng; from the pastoral fireworks at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, to the freedom of solitude on a moonlit night in a foreign land—— Every scenery is a Tang poem; every encounter is an understanding. In the process of walking and encountering, Li Fang understood the poet's character and life behind Tang poetry, as well as his own inner anxieties and desires. Those forgotten poems were like lamps, illuminating the darkness in his heart bit by bit. He finally understood: Poetry is not far away, but around. In the magnolia tree downstairs, in the two extra green onions from the market, in the innocent smile of the child, in every ordinary, daily, neglected corner. If you are willing to look, you can see. This is a journey to find poetry, but also a journey to find yourself. Dedicated to everyone who is looking for poetry in ordinary life.
