I hope I'll never wake up after a long drunkenness. The whole poem is as follows:
I'm going to drink. I don't see you
[ Tang] Li Bai
I don't see you, how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return.
I don't see you, how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow.
oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases, and never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!.
since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!, spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!.
cook a sheep, kill a cow, whet the appetite, and make me, of three hundred bowls, one long drink!.
master cen, Dan qiusheng, will drink, and don't stop drinking.
let me sing you a song!, please listen to me.
what are bell and drum, rare dishes and treasure?, I wish I'd stay drunk forever.
prince Chen paid at a banquet in the Palace of Perfection, ten thousand coins for a cask of wine, with many a laugh and quip.
why say, my host, that your money is gone?, go and buy wine and we'll drink it together!.
five-flowered horse, thousand-golden-golden-qiu, and hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine, share the same sorrow with you.

Creative background
In the early days of Tianbao of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was recommended by Taoist Wu Jun, and was recruited by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to Beijing, and Li Bai was appointed as an imperial sacrifice to the Hanlin. Soon after, due to the remorse of the powerful people, Li Bai was pushed out of Beijing for three years in Tianbao (744), and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gave money back. Since then, Li Bai has been wandering around the Jianghuai area, and his thoughts are extremely annoyed, and he has once again embarked on a long journey of traveling around the mountains and rivers of the motherland. When Li Bai wrote this poem, it was eight years since Li Bai was "given gold and returned" by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. During this period, Li Bai and his friend Cen Xun (Cen Fuzi) were invited to visit Yingyang Mountain, another friend of Songshan, Yuan Danqiu, and the three of them climbed the mountain for a banquet and sang songs through wine. Poets are politically excluded and frustrated, and their ideals cannot be realized. They often vent their stagnation by drinking. The joy of life is nothing more than making friends at a cocktail party, and the author is at the moment of "using the talents of the world without meeting each other", so he is full of untimely use of wine to express his dissatisfaction.
Appreciation
This poem vividly shows Li Bai's unruly character: on the one hand, he is full of self-confidence, aloof 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 being happy and shows contempt for wealth and sages. But in the binge drinking, beer and skittles, in fact, there is a deep feeling of talent failure. The whole poem is full of heroic momentum, unrestrained feelings, fluent language and strong appeal. Li Bai "uses the topic to play" to drown his sorrows and express his anger.
as time goes by, it's like a river entering the sea and never coming back; Life is too short to see the blue silk and white snow in the morning and evening; The smallness of life seems to be an irreparable tragedy, and the only thing that can solve the worries is golden wine. This is Li Bai's sadness: sad but strong, sad but not hurt, extremely indignant and extremely bold. The table is lamenting that life is easy to get old, while the table is lamenting that talent is not met. At the beginning of the poem, there are two groups of long sentences, such as rushing to the reader with great momentum. "Don't you see how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return", Li Bai is in Yingyang Mountain at this time, not far from the Yellow River, and he climbs high, so he borrows the Yellow River to enjoy himself. The Yellow River has a long history and a great gap, such as falling from the sky, spilling thousands of miles and going east to the sea. The grandeur of the scene is not visible to the naked eye, so this situation is Li Bai's fantasy, "from the Tao", with exaggeration in his words. The last sentence says that the coming of the big river is unstoppable; The next sentence says that the river is gone, and it is irreversible. One rises and one disappears, forming a sigh of relief, which is not available in short sentences (such as "The Yellow River falls into the sky and goes to the East China Sea").
