Bàngwǎn xiàshān de shíhou, wǒ xiǎngqǐ le Lǐ Bái de " mù cóng bìshān xià ".
Coming down the mountain at dusk, I thought of Li Bai's 'at dusk I came down from the green mountain'.
Tips
culture
The opening line of 李白's 下终南山过斛斯山人宿置酒: 暮从碧山下，山月随人归 'at dusk I came down from the green mountain, and the mountain moon came home with me'. The green mountain is 终南山, south of Chang'an, and the walk ends with wine at a hermit's farmhouse.
usage
碧 is a deep blue-green, the colour of jade, and a 'green mountain' is a stock image in Tang verse. Li Bai uses it again in 山中问答: 问余何意栖碧山 'you ask me why I make my home on the green mountain'.
