from a pot of wine among the flowers, I drank alone. There was no one with me.
till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, to bring me my shadow and make us three.
alas, the moon was unable to drink, and my shadow tagged me vacantly;.
but still for a while I had these friends, to cheer me through the end of spring.
I sang. The moon encouraged me, I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
have sex when you wake up, and then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
shall goodwill ever be secure?, I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
Interpretation of Poetry
I put a pot of fine wine among the flowers, and I poured it myself, without any relatives or friends around me. Raise a glass to the sky, invite the bright moon, and face my shadow, it becomes three people. The moon can't understand the joy of drinking, and the shadow can only follow me silently. I have to accompany the bright moon and clear shadow for the time being, and take advantage of this beautiful scenery to have fun in time. I recite poems, the moon lingers with me, my hands and feet dance, and my shadows wander with me. I share the joy with you when I am awake, and I will never find you again when I am intoxicated. Let's form an eternal friendship and meet in the vast sky tomorrow. This poem was written by Li Bai in Chang 'an in Tianbao for three years. In the spring of that year, He Zhizhang was invited to be a Taoist priest, and Xuanzong promised him to return home. Li Bai sent He Zhizhang back to Vietnam. In March, knowing that he was not used by the imperial court, he wrote to please return the mountain and give money and leave Chang 'an. This poem should have been written during this period. The poem, named' drinking Alone with the Moon', contains two favorite images of Li Bai, namely, the moon and wine. Both of them are lonely, frustrated and depressed. Such as [Tang] Wang Changling's poem "Send People to Jiangxia": "Xiaoxi's double sails are returned to Ezhu, and you will find them in a lonely moon dream." [Song] Su Shi's poem "Send a small Zen master to Fayun": "Hanging the blue sky on a lonely moon is like a floating cloud." It can be seen that the "moon" in the minds of China literati generally makes people feel a sense of loneliness, just as the cold Guanghan Palace in myths and legends can only exist on the moon. Everyone knows that wine is a comfort when you are lonely and depressed, and at the same time, you also know the result of "raising a glass to eliminate your worries and worry more". Li Bai loves "moon" and "wine", which shows his loneliness and helplessness in earthly life. At the same time, in his unhappy life, there is a great yearning, which also resides in "moon" and "wine" Such as "we both are exalted to distant thought, want to go to the sky to embrace the sun and the moon." So under the trigger of this deep pain, Li Bai's romantic feelings of Yongle came into being. And this song "drinking Alone with the Moon" is a true reflection of this feeling.
