If you want to drink the pipa, the next sentence is: Don't laugh when you are drunk in the sand. How many times have you fought in ancient times? From Two Poems of Liangzhou Poems by William Wang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Original text:
Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, please hurry immediately.
You don't laugh when you're drunk on the battlefield. You've fought for several times in ancient times.
Translation:
Holding a beautiful jade cup filled with fine wine at the banquet, I want to gulp down the liquor while the geisha play the pipa.
If you get drunk and lie down on the battlefield, please don't laugh at me. Not many soldiers who have fought outside since ancient times can come back.

Features of the work
Liangzhou Qu is not only a masterpiece of "Poetry with Joy", but also a swan song of "Poetry with Joy". The sharp contrast of musical tones in the poem has its own profound meaning. If you don't know much about music, it's hard to understand the taste.
The poet wrote the first sentence of this opening with passionate brushstrokes, sonorous tones and dazzling words. The "luminous glass of grape wine" is like suddenly opening the curtain, showing a grand banquet with colorful, dazzling and fragrant wine before people's eyes. This scene surprises and excites people, creating an atmosphere and setting the tone for the lyric of the whole poem.
