Appreciation of Li Bai's Drinking the Bright Moon Alone

Li Bai: Drinking the bright moon alone

Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone.

Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.

The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind.

I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.

The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering.

Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.

I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.

Brief analysis

Li Bai, a poet, is ambitious and has never met talent. His political ideal cannot be realized, and he is lonely and depressed. But in the face of the dark social reality, he does not sink or pollute, and always pursues freedom and yearns for light. In his poems, there are many works praising the sun and chanting the bright moon. This poem introduces Mingyue as a bosom friend and expresses her feelings for the moon.

At the beginning of the poem, "a pot of wine" and "no blind date" directly express the feeling of loneliness and depression. The poet's inner loneliness could not be dispelled, so he took the moon as his confidant and invited her to drink together. I also regard myself as my intimate partner and have sex with him. But "the moon doesn't drink water, and my shadow labels me empty;" "This highlights the poet's loneliness. Sun Zhu, a Qing Dynasty man, said: "The book is for oneself, and the poem calls for three people. The moon shadow companion said that repeated exploration has become more and more unique. " ("300 Poems of Tang Poetry", Volume 1) Because the world doesn't know many friends, the poet had to sing and dance to the moon in a photo with a bright moon and a figure to drive away his inner anguish. Moreover, we will always form an unforgettable friendship with Mingyueying, meet in a distant paradise, and make an appointment. This fully shows the poet's dissatisfaction with the dirty reality and his strong desire for light and freedom.

The whole poem is novel in conception, unique in imagination, appropriate in motion and static, and affectionate and touching.

Comments from different scholars

Shen Guiyu: It's pure nature to blurt it out. This kind of poem is not easy to learn. (Tang Poetry)

Aisingiorro? Li Hong: This is a strange interest throughout the ages. You can get it from your eyes. Although you are poor, you will never be broad-minded. Tao Qianyun's "waving a cup to persuade the lonely shadow" is the origin of Li Bai's poems. (Poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties)

(Qing) Sun Zhu: The title of "DuDu" is biased towards three people. The moon shadow companion theory is becoming more and more unique through repeated exploration. ("Three Hundred Tang Poems")

(Song) Liu: (The sentence "Bring my shadow and let the three of us") There was no such thing in ancient times. (Last sentence) All customs offices and customs offices should settle accounts in this way. (Quoted from Poems of Tang Dynasty)

Zhong Xing: I was helpless, but I came up with good things, good things and good words. There is another cloud: (five or six sentences) seems to satirize the moon. I'm really happy, great! Wonderful! The word "heartless swimming" is a shortcut. (Return of Tang Poetry)

Tan: The beauty lies in the implementation of three-person calculation. To know the facts and feelings, such a partner is not lonely. (Return of Tang Poetry)

Zhang Xiangde: The moon appeared first, and then the shadow appeared. The word "the shadow of the moon" overlapped with each other. This is a Julian. The moon in the sky, the shadow in the cup, and the person who drinks alone are reflected in three people. It is really a fairy pen to do so much wonderful things from silence. (Notes on 300 Tang Poems)

Li Jiarui: Shi Li's poem "Until, raise my cup, I ask the bright moon, bring my shadow to me, and make the three of us" is repeatedly used by Dongpo. He likes his sentence-making work. After reading the Biography of Nan Shi Shen Qing, Qing said, "Every time I walk in the countryside, I will be with Ma Chengsan, and no one will be with Ma Chengsan." Almost all Li Bai's poems are based on this. However, Qing language is not as good as Shili's wonderful ear. ("Poem of Stopping Clouds and Pavilion")

Modern translation

There is a pot of wine among the flowers.

Self-drinking, no blind date.

Raise a glass to invite the bright moon in the sky,

Add your own body to make three people.

It's a pity that Yue Ming doesn't know the fun of drinking.

Shadow also accompany me in vain.

For the time being, with the bright moon and the picture as companions,

Eat, drink and be merry, and the spring night is full.

When I sing, the moon seems to wander.

When I dance, the shadow swings in disorder.

When we are awake, we have sex together,

After being drunk, it is your own dispersion.

Willing to be forgetful friends forever,

Meet each other in the vast milky way in the future. ?
