Original text of "Into the Wine"

Have you seen how the water of the Yellow River flows from the sky to the sea and never returns?

Have you seen the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is still silky black in the morning, it turns into snow at night?

Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon empty! .

Since God has given talents, let them be used! As for the money, although it is scattered, it will get together again.

Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me, 300 bowls, take a big drink! .

Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng can drink and drink endlessly.

Let me sing you a song! Please listen to me.

What are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures? I hope I will never wake up.

Ancient sober people and sages were forgotten, and only great drinkers can be immortalized.

Chen bought a barrel of wine with 10 thousand gold coins at a banquet in the temple, and everyone laughed and said one-liners

Why do you say, my master, your money is gone? , to buy wine, we drink together! .

Keywords Wuhuama, Qianjinqiu, give it to the young man for good wine,

With you, you will always worry.

Translation of "Entering Wine"

Didn't you see the Yellow River falling from the sky?

The waves rolled straight into the East China Sea and never returned.

Didn't you see the elderly parents sigh their white hair in front of the mirror?

I still have black hair in the morning, but it turns white at night. (figuratively speaking, youth is short)

When you are proud of your life, you should indulge in joy and don't let this golden cup be empty for the bright moon.

Everyone's birth must have its own value and significance.

Gold can be recovered after 1200 yuan (even if it is used up).

Let's cook sheep and kill cattle. It's fun.

It's not too much to drink three hundred cups at a time!

Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng!

Drink it quickly! Do not stop.

Let me sing a song for you,

Please listen to me carefully:

What is precious about the luxurious life of eating delicacies all day?

I just want to lead a drunken life and not wake up.

Since ancient times, sages have always been deserted.

Only people who can drink can leave a good reputation.

Do you know the optimistic story of Cao Zhi's banquet in Wang Chen?

Fighting for a thousand cups of wine also makes the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Master, why do you say there is not much money?

Just buy wine and we'll drink it together.

Those expensive horses, expensive golden fox hair,

Call your children out and let them change wine.

Let's eliminate this endless eternal sadness together!

Appreciation of "Entering Wine"

"Entering the wine" was originally the tune of the piccolo and cymbal songs in Han Yuefu, which belonged to the old name of "advocating cymbal songs" in Han Yuefu. The title of the free translation is Song Shu: Han advocates "Entering Wine" and so on 18 songs. Yuefu Poetry: As the old saying goes, "Get into the wine", that is, get into the wine, ride the white, and write a feast song. Song He Chengtian's article "Entering Wine" said: "Entering wine will celebrate the Three Dynasties. Prepare traditional dishes and recommend delicious food. It is said that the court will drink wine, taking the first ambition as a warning. If Liang Zhaoming is a prince, Luoyang is frivolous, but it is just for fun and drinking. " In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai followed the classical Yuefu style and wrote Jiang Jin Jiu, which had the greatest influence.

Li Bai's wine poems can express his personality very well. This poem was written after the release of Chang 'an City, with deeper ideological content and more mature artistic expression. Poetry originated in the Yellow River, and its emotional development is as turbulent as the water of the Yellow River, which is difficult to grasp. The whole article talks about drinking. Literally, the poet is advocating binge drinking. The poem uses a positive appreciation attitude and heroic momentum to write about drinking, which is magnificent and does have some negative effects, but it reflects that the poet could not find an effective weapon against the dark forces at that time. Wine is a stimulant for his personal resistance. With wine, he seems to have the strength of thousands of troops, but wine is also his mental anesthetic, which makes him unable to actively resist in indulgence, which shows the limitations of the times and classes. The disillusionment of the ideal is caused by the dark society, and the poet is powerless to change it, so he turns the rising anger into a bold act of enjoyment, vents his dissatisfaction, dispels his worries and resists reality.

In the poem "Into the Wine", Li Bai expressed his lamentation over the lack of talents, held optimistic and understanding feelings, and also revealed the negative emotion that life should be carpe diem. However, the whole poem is full of lofty sentiments and great momentum, and has achieved outstanding artistic achievements. Into the Wine is his masterpiece.

This poem vividly shows Li Bai's unruly character: on the one hand, he is full of confidence in himself and arrogant; On the one hand, after the twists and turns in the political future, it also shows the feeling of indulgence. In this poem, he interprets Zhuangzi's philosophy of happiness and shows contempt for wealth and sages. But in binge drinking, eating, drinking, and having fun, there is actually a feeling of natural failure. The whole poem is full of heroic momentum, unrestrained feelings, fluent language and strong appeal. Li Bai "used the topic to play", used wine to drown his sorrows and express his anger.
