Appreciation of this poem
This poem comes from the mouth of a child shopkeeper in a way that is almost a limerick. Combined with the scene at that time, it also conforms to the identity and personality of the child shopkeeper.
Everyone expects dreams to come true, but dreams are like fantasies. The ideal is not real enough, but it is illusory after all. No matter how beautiful the fantasy is, it is also a dream. It is from this illusory dream that we can get rid of it and return to reality. "In front of us" is the most real reality. It is most important to grasp everything in front of you. The past is irreversible, and the future is unknown. Only what is in front of you can be mastered.
"Never point his golden cup at the moon!" Using the poem in Li Bai's Into the Wine, Li Bai highlights metaphor with the image language of "golden bottle" and "opposite the moon", which makes drinking poetic. The double negative expression of "Mo Shi" and "Empty" is used instead of direct expression, and the tone is more emphasized. The effect of persuading wine is naturally excellent, and "don't tilt the golden cup against the moon!" From the mouth of the child shopkeeper, this is also in line with her identity as a heroine in the escort agency and inn shopkeeper.
"Raise a glass to meet someone who is destined to meet you" is a continuation of "Don't point his golden cup at the moon". When you meet the person you are destined to meet, just drink to your heart's content, once again reflecting the true nature of the heroine, the child shopkeeper. The whole poem seems colloquial, but in the development of the whole story, it embodies the personality characteristics of the child shopkeeper incisively and vividly, which can be said to be the finishing touch.
