Extended data

This poem was written by Li Bai after his release from Chang 'an, with profound ideological content and mature artistic expression, which has the greatest influence among the works of the same name. The poet drank and sang loudly, and used wine to drown his sorrows, expressing his deep affection for life. The poem is mixed with feelings of disappointment and self-confidence, grief and struggle, which embodies a strong and unrestrained personality.

"The sober people and saints of the old days were forgotten" is also an angry word. The poet once lamented that "I don't care who Ge is talking about" and said that the ancients were "lonely", but they actually showed their own "loneliness", so they should not be drunk for a long time. Here, the poet watered his brick base with ancient wine glasses. When it comes to "only drinkers leave their names", he is represented by "Wang Chen" Cao Zhi.

There were many people who drank in ancient times. Why he chose "Wang Chen" was inseparable from Li Bai's conceit. In his mind, Xie An and other senior figures set an example, and among these figures, "Wang Chen" Cao Zhi is more associated with wine. This style of writing is consistent with the extremely confident tone mentioned above.

The whole poem is full of emotion, and no matter what the mood is, it surges like a river, which is unstoppable, ups and downs and dramatic changes; Exaggeration is often used to express the poet's heroic and free-spirited feelings, which makes the poem itself appear smooth and lyrical.

Li Bai felt that by virtue of his talent, he cast a strong contempt for those powerful people who enjoyed high positions and high salaries by virtue of his family background, showing an unyielding character. He despised the feudal hierarchy, was unwilling to flatter, and disdained to rise and fall with customs.

This is Li Bai's angry struggle against society and an important embodiment of his rebellious spirit. He opposed Xuanzong's joys and sorrows and revealed that it was not that man, which led to the sacrifice of the people's soldiers in vain. Because of Xuanzong's arrogance, the eunuch's power is hot.
