《早发白帝城》是唐代伟大诗人李白在流放途中遇赦返回时所创作的一首七言绝句，是李白诗作中流传最广的名篇之一。诗人是把遇赦后愉快的心情和江山的壮丽多姿、顺水行舟的流畅轻快融为一体来表达的。全诗无不夸张和奇想，写得流丽飘逸，惊世骇俗，但又不假雕琢，随心所欲，自然天成。

李白 《早发白帝城》

朝辞白帝彩云间，千里江陵一日还。
两岸猿声啼不尽，轻舟已过万重山。

The River Journey from White King City
Li Bai

At dawn I left the walled city of White King,
Towering among the many-coloured clouds;
And came down stream in a day
One thousand li to Jiangling.
The screams of monkeys on either bank
Had scarcely ceased echoing in my ear
When my skiff had left behind it
Ten thousand ranges of hills.
