Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone.
Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind.
I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.
The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering.
Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.
I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.
This poem describes the poet's lonely and depressed mood of drowning his sorrows in wine.
These two words "came from a pot of wine among the flowers, and I drank it alone." No one pointed out the word "independence" with me. "Loneliness" is the center of this poem. The poet has no relatives, so he has to invite Yue Ming and his own shadow as his companions. This is from Tao Yuanming's Miscellaneous Poems. The sentence "waving a cup to persuade the lonely shadow" came out, but Li Bai invited the bright moon more, so he said "take my shadow and make us three" The moon naturally won't drink, and the shadow can only follow her silently, but with these two partners, it won't be so lonely, so eat, drink and be merry with the shadow of the moon for the time being! The lonely poet went further and asked, "Is goodwill guaranteed? I see the long road of the Milky Way. " "Ruthless" is not only because of the moon, shadows and so on. Are unconscious things, but also contains the meaning of not being contaminated with secular relations. The poet believes that this kind of unprofitable communication is the purest and most sincere.
On the surface, this poem seems to have some negative thoughts, but it is also a unique expression of the poet. Through this poem "I sing. The moon encouraged me, and my dancing shadow was messy. "The poet's extreme desolation and loneliness is vivid on the paper, which is also of positive significance in terms of his disgust and denial of the vulgar relationship between people in society.
