The poem "Into the Wine" 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.
Time goes by, like a river entering the sea, which is gone forever; Life is too short to see the blue silk and 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, and the table is lamenting that talents are not met.
At the beginning of the poem, there are two groups of long sentences, which rush to the readers like a flood and are magnificent. "Didn't you see how the water of the Yellow River moved out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return?" Li Bai was in Yangying Mountain, not far from the Yellow River, and he climbed very high, so he used the Yellow River to amuse himself. The Yellow River has a long history and a great gap, such as falling from the sky, spilling thousands of miles and entering the sea eastward.
The grandeur of the scene is invisible to the naked eye, so this situation is Li Bai's fantasy, "following the Tao" and exaggerating the words. The last sentence says that the coming of the big river is unstoppable; The next sentence says that the river is gone and irreversible. One rises and one disappears, forming a breath, which is not available in short sentences (such as "The Yellow River falls into the sky and returns to the East China Sea").
Then, "Don't you see how lovely it is locked in a bright mirror in a high room, although the silky black turns into snow in the morning and at night" is like a turbulent wave. The first two sentences exaggerate the space category, and these two sentences exaggerate the time category. Sigh that life is short;
He did not directly say that a person's sad life is short, and people will get old one day, but that "the mirror on the shelf is so cute", showing a helpless modality.
Describing the whole process of life from youth to aging as "facing the sun" and "dusk" is a kind of "reverse" exaggeration, which makes the original short-lived things shorter than the previous two sentences and makes the original strong waves stronger. Therefore, the first group of parallel long sentences has both comparative significance-saying that life is fleeting and the river is gone forever, which has a comparative effect; With the greatness and eternity of the Yellow River, life is small and fragile.
This beginning can be said to be extremely sad, but it is not delicate. It can be said that it is a giant sadness with thrilling artistic power, and it is also caused by the sense of momentum at the beginning of long sentences.
This opening technique is commonly used by the author, such as "I had to throw Bolt and me away from yesterday;": Today it hurts my heart even more "("A farewell letter to Xie Tiao Tower in Xuancheng "), Shen Deqian said:" This body is too white and self-centered ",which shows that it is quite original.
This poem is a call for "not seeing you" (generally Yuefu poems are only used occasionally at the beginning or end of the article), which greatly enhances the emotional color of the poem. Poetry has the so-called big opening and closing, which can be described as big opening and closing.
"The husband of heaven and earth, the inverse of everything; Time flies, one hundred generations fly "(Preface to the Spring Banquet in Taoliyuan). Although sadness is inevitable, pessimism is not close to Li Bai's nature. In his view, as long as "life is proud", there is no regret and you should indulge in joy. Five or six sentences are reversed, from "sadness" to "joy".
From then on, until "the cup never stops", poetry gradually became wild. "When you reach your destiny, you don't worry when you are free. You can climb the stairs with wine" ("Song of Liangyuan"), and you can't eat, drink and be merry without wine. This is the topic. However, the sentence does not directly describe the contents of the cup, but uses the image language of "golden cup" and "opposite the moon" to highlight the metaphor and make drinking poetic;
If you don't write directly, you will drink and party. Don't write directly, but use the double negative expressions of "don't make" and "empty", which is more focused. "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes" seems to advocate the idea of "eat, drink and be merry", but it is only a phenomenon. The poet is in low spirits at this time.
"When the phoenix first wrote purple mud, the emperor called it a royal banquet" ("Yu Hu Yin"), which was sent by the emperor to Beijing for a banquet, seemed to be proud, but in fact it was just an illusion. Then go to "Feng will return home, there is no fish to eat, and Zhou Busi will bow to the princes and nobles and meet them" ("Difficult to Walk 2"). In ancient times, Feng Xuan was a guest of Meng Changjun. He felt that Meng Changjun was not polite to himself. At the beginning, he often played sword and sang, indicating that he would go back.
Li Bai wants to "make friends with princes", but in Chang 'an, dignitaries don't take him seriously. Li Bai used Feng Xuan's allusions to describe his situation. At this time, I don't seem to be proud, but disappointed and indignant.

The original and translation 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, bring the wine in! Let your cup never stop! .
Let me sing you a song! , let your ears participate! . What are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures? Let me get drunk forever and never be rational! .
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! . Five flower horses, Hsi Chin, give them to the boy in exchange for good wine. Whatever you want, sell eternal sorrow.
Translation:
Look! The water of the Yellow River fell from the sky and went straight to the foggy East China Sea without looking back. Look! The hair on my head turned white as snow in the blink of an eye. Looking at the mirror of Gaotang can only be a sigh and sadness!
When you are proud, indulge in joy, don't let the golden cup flow in the moonlight, just calling for the years to stop coming. A very talented person is sure to make a difference. What a pity to lose the 1200 gold that was recovered!
Kill sheep, kill cattle! Let's enjoy it. For this party, we should drink 300 cups together! Master Cen and Dan Qiusheng, cheers! Cheers! Do not stop.
Hey, I'm going to sing. Listen carefully: What are those glories worth pursuing? I hope I can get drunk freely and never wake up again. Since ancient times, wise and thorough people have always felt the loneliness of their souls. Only those who send love poems and wine will at least leave a reputation.
At that time, Cao Zhi held a big banquet in Pingle Temple, drinking famous wine and talking and laughing at will to forget his worries. What did the host say, there is not so much money to spend? Go and buy the wine back, and let's drink it all at once!
Hey, this BMW with five flowers and a golden fox fur, take these things and bring me wine, wine, wine! Oh-let's melt endless resentment and sadness in this flame!
