Interpretation:
He Zhizhang was riding a horse after drinking, swaying as if he was riding a boat. He fell into the well with his eyes dimmed and fell asleep at the bottom of the well.

I regretted that I could not stay in Jiuquan County, where the water tastes like wine.
Left Prime Minister Li Shi spent tens of thousands of dollars on daily pursuits and drank like a whale swallowing water from hundreds of rivers.

Extended information:
A few lines of poems written by Du Fu about Li Bai highlight Li Bai's hobbies and poetic talents in relief. Li Bai was addicted to alcohol and often slept in restaurants in Chang'an City when he was drunk. "The emperor called him but he couldn't get on the boat (interpretation: the emperor was having a banquet in the lake and asked him to write a preface to the poem, but he refused to get on the boat because he was drunk)" This sentence immediately made Li Bai's image tall and majestic.
Poetry and wine have an indissoluble bond with Li Bai. Li Bai himself also said, "One hundred years and thirty-six thousand days, one must drink three hundred cups a day." After thirty-six thousand days, I drink every day, drinking three hundred cups a day)" ("Song of Xiangyang"), "I am in high spirits and write to shake the five mountains." One shake three)" ("Yin on the River").
After Li Bai was drunk, he became even more arrogant and uninhibited. Even when the emperor summoned him, he was not so respectful and frightened, but proudly shouted: "I am the Immortal of Wine! (Interpretation: Claiming to be the Immortal of Wine!) "The Immortal" strongly shows Li Bai's character of not fearing the powerful.
"The emperor called but could not board the ship", although it may not be true, it is very consistent with Li Bai's ideological character, so it has a high degree of artistic authenticity and strong artistic appeal. Du Fu was Li Bai's close friend. He grasped the essential aspects of Li Bai's thoughts and character and exaggerated them with romanticism, creating an artistic image of Li Bai who was unruly, bold and unrestrained, and looked down upon the feudal princes.
This portrait is full of energy, both physical and spiritual, and glows with the radiance of ideal beauty, making it unforgettable. This is exactly the romantic image of Li Bai that people have loved for thousands of years.
