Seeing Off a Friend Leaving for Shu

Li Bai 701-762 You've heard of the Cancong Road How rugged it is and hard to travel Mountains rise before your face And clouds appear beside your horse But the planks of Qin are shrouded by fragrant trees And the walls of Shu are circled by the currents of spring Ups and downs are surely fixed You don't need to ask Jun Ping

Sòng Yǒurén Rù Shǔ
