Will enter the wine
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.
Don’t you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening.
If you are proud of life, you must have all the fun, and don’t let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.
I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent.
It is fun to cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, but don’t stop drinking.
A song with you, please listen to me. (Listen with an open ear, Part 1: Listen with an open ear)
Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will stay drunk and not wake up. (Not expensive enough. One work: Why is it expensive? Not willing to wake up. One work: Never wake up again.)
In ancient times, the sages were all lonely, but only the drinkers left their names. (Ancient: Since ancient times; Wei Tong: Wei)
In the old days, King Chen had a banquet and had a lot of fun and banquets.
What does the master mean when you have less money? It is up to you to sell it.
The five-flowered horse and the golden fur will be exchanged for fine wine, and we will sell the eternal sorrow with you.
"About Drinking" was originally a melody of a Han Dynasty Yuefu short flute and cymbal song. The title means "Song to Encourage Drinking", and its content is mostly about singing and drinking. This poem was written when the poet and his friend Cen Xun were guests at the Yingyang Mountain residence of Yuan Danqiu, another old friend of Songshan Mountain. The author was experiencing setbacks in his official career, so he used wine to write poems and express himself heartily. In this poem, Li Bai "used the topic to express his feelings", drank to relieve his sorrow, lamented that life is easy to grow old, and expressed his feelings of not being able to appreciate his talents.
This poem very vividly reflects Li Bai's unruly character: full of confidence in himself, aloof and proud, passionate and bold, "I am born with talents that must be useful", "I must be happy in life if I am proud". The whole poem is full of majestic momentum, unrestrained emotion, fluent language, and extremely contagious. Li Bai's poems about wine can very well reflect his personality, with profound ideological content and mature artistic expression. "Jianjinjiu" is his masterpiece.
One of the four poems "Drinking Alone Under the Moon"
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date.
Toast a glass to the bright moon, and look at each other as three people.
The moon does not know how to drink, but its shadow follows me.
While the moon is about to be shadowed, we must have fun until spring.
My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered.
They make love together when they are awake, but they separate when they are drunk. (Same Love, One Work: Love and Love)
We will never travel together without love, and we will meet again in Yunhan and Han.
