original text

Drink the moon alone.

Author: Li Bai

A [1]

A pot of wine from the flowers, drinking alone ① No blind date ②.

Until I raised my cup, I asked the moon to bring me my shadow and let us become three people.

Since the moon is inseparable, the shadow moves with me.

Accompanied by the shadow of the moon, let me rejoice at the end of spring.

I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. After the tax, my shadow fell.

I woke up and had sex. Then I got drunk and we lost each other.

Will goodwill be guaranteed? ⑾, ⒁. Stage ⑿ Han Yun ⑿.

Secondly,

If you don't love wine, the wine star can't go to heaven.

If you don't like wine, you shouldn't have the name Jiuquan.

Since heaven and earth love wine, I am worthy of heaven loving wine.

First, I heard that wine is better than saints, and then I heard that turbidity is better than saints.

Since sages are drinking, why ask for immortals?

Three glasses of wine can lead to Confucianism, and it is natural for Taoism to drink it all in one game.

I'm just drunk for fun, and this smell can't be passed down!

third

In Chang 'an in March, the spring is beautiful and the spring flowers are brilliant.

If I am lonely and sad in spring, who can only drink blindly for this beautiful scenery?

Wealth, poverty and longevity are naturally different, and each has its own talent.

There is no difference between natural life and life in a glass, and nothing in the world is conclusive.

When I was drunk, I lost my mind and plunged into my pillow.

I don't know myself, where can I find this kind of happiness?

Fourth.

Infinite worries are inextricably linked. I have 300 glasses of wine.

Even if the wine is less sad, the wine will not return.

Therefore, I know that a wine saint has a mellow heart and a bright self.

Words can only live in seclusion, without eating, drinking and hunger.

What's the use of fame if you don't want to drink it in the present age?

Crab pliers are a panacea, and the bad mountain is Penglai.

Have a drink for a while and get drunk on the high platform by moonlight.

Precautions:

(1) Moderation: drinking. Drink alone: drink alone.

(2) No blind date: no close person.

(3) "Raise a glass": These two sentences say that I raise a glass to attract the bright moon to drink, and the bright moon, me and my shadow just form three people. Speaking of the figure under the moon, the figure in the wine and I are three. Become three people: the bright moon and me and my shadow just synthesize three people.

(4) both: and. Can't drink: can't drink.

5] ACTS: In vain, useless. ACTS: Empty.

(6) Will: And.

(7) Spring: When the spring is beautiful.

The moon roams: The bright moon moves back and forth with me.

(9) the shadow is messy: due to dancing, the figure is chaotic.

Making love: having fun together.

⑾ ruthless swimming: forget the friendship between people.

⑿ stage: meet.

[ 13]: Far

[14] Han Yun: Galaxy

Rhyme translation:

Prepare a pot of wine, put it in the flowers, and pour it yourself, without friends or relatives, alone.

I raise my glass to invite the charming bright moon and look down at my back. There were three people drinking * * *.

Moon, where do you know the fun of drinking? Shadow, you snuggle up to me alone in vain!

Stay with Yutu for the time being, this heartless thin shadow, I want to eat, drink and be merry in time, and the Spring Festival Evening is in its prime.

Yue listened to my singing and lingered for nine days. The shadow danced with me and jumped and rolled on the ground.

You can have fun when you are sober, and it is inevitable to be separated when you are drunk.

Moon, I would like to be friends with you forever and meet you on the high shore of the Milky Way. Goodbye!

Comments:

Drinking the bright moon alone is one of Li Bai's most romantic poems. This poem describes the poet drinking alone under the moon. Drinking alone with the moon was originally lonely, but the poet used his rich imagination to make up the so-called "three people" with the shadow in the cup, the shadow under the moon and his own figure. From the word "flower" to the word "spring", from the word "injustice" to "song" and "dance", the lonely environment is rendered very vivid, not only vivid in pen and ink, but more importantly, it expresses the poet's broad-minded character and his feelings of being good at giving up on himself.

The intimacy and joy between the poet and the bright moon further embodies the poet's feeling of loneliness in the world, his anger and disgust at the real society from the side, and his noble personality. ? On the surface, the poet seems to really enjoy himself, but behind it is full of infinite desolation. Poets are lonely enough to invite the moon and the shadows, but not enough. Even in the later years, it is impossible to find someone to drink with. So I can only be friends with the figure in the moonlight forever, and meet again in the fairyland of heaven.

Li Bai's five-character poems have a wide range of themes and colorful styles. Earlier, I introduced two poems, Sauvignon Blanc and Long March, which he wrote by studying Yuefu folk songs, and this poem, Drinking the Moon Alone, fully demonstrated Li Bai's elegant charm, romantic poetic style and personal spiritual world. There are fourteen sentences in the whole poem, the first eight are flat and the last six are faint. As far as the genre of five-character ancient poems is concerned, drinking the bright moon alone is not long, but it is full of the pursuit and yearning of a lonely soul. Only Li Bai appeared in this poem, but through monologues, it set off layers of emotional waves in the depths of the soul, both ups and downs and natural, and has always been regarded as the passionate representative of Li Bai's poems.

Wine and moon are Li Bai's most loyal companions in his life, and he has never left for a moment. Wherever he goes, he always leaves a touching work about wine and the bright moon. Such as "lanling wine tulip, jade bowl filled with amber light" ("Guest Works"); Such as "Dongting Moonlight Boat Buying Wine and" ("Five Poems of Traveling with Assistant Minister Ye of Uncle Punishment Department and Mr. Jia Sheren of Zhongshu"); For example, "When will there be a moon in the sky? Stop a question today ""I only wish that when the song is right for the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden urn for a long time "("Drinking asking for the moon "); For example, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon!" " ("into the wine"). Through these well-known poems, Li Bai created a unique realm that is both romantic and somewhat sad, and this wine-moon complex was brought to the extreme by this song "Drinking the Moon Alone". For more appreciation of Tang poetry, please pay attention to Guo Xuexi's 300 Tang poems in Gutang. com。

At the beginning of the poem, our poet was in a very pleasant environment, under the flowers and the moon, "from a pot of wine among the flowers", drinking a pot of wine among the flowers and getting drunk. But unexpectedly, flowers and wine made Li Bai feel unhappy. What is the reason? Because I drink alone. No one is with me! Li Bai has a famous saying, which can be used as a footnote to this poem. "Two people drink flowers in the mountains, one cup after another" ("Drinking with Friends in the Mountains"). Accompanied by like-minded "lovers", we can go to our hometown together in the flowers and enjoy the endless fun of drinking. But at the moment, there is no companion, so I can only drink alone. But he had a brainwave and created a brand-new realm for himself: "Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us"! From the lonely "no blind date" to the laughing "threesome", Li Bai completed it with one gesture. Look at him. When he raised his glass, the moon became his companion. When he bowed his head, his figure accompanied him. How chic, comfortable and vivid can the face of "fallen immortals" that is hard to find in the world be imitated by others? The moon in the sky is an eternal confidant of Li Bai's spiritual world and a frequent visitor in Li Bai's poems. He once recalled his first understanding of the moon when he was a child: "When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate" ("Exploring the Moon with Ancient Waves"); When he left home, the moonlight reminded him of the homesickness of the wanderer: "The foot of my bed is so bright, can it have frosted?" . Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, and when I sank back again, I suddenly thought of home "(Silent Night Thinking); In the autumn moon, he once poured out endless lovesickness: "After her closed window, why is she still waiting, looking at the glory of the autumn moon through its crystal pane?" ("Jade Family"); In the moonlight, he can become a bosom friend with the ancients: "Long meditation under the moon, thin eyes in ancient times" ("Singing under the moon on the West Tower of Jinling City"). Therefore, when reading "Until, raise my cup, I ask the bright moon, bring my shadow to me, let the three of us", we won't be surprised and confused at all. But we believe that this is the real Li Bai, a pure, romantic and out-of-touch "poetic fairy" Li Bai who lives in his own spiritual world! Only he can make such incredible moves, and only he can write such elegant poems.

The core of this poem:

The core of this poem is the word "independence". In the whole article, a living genius of human society can only "drink" with the moon and his own shadow in a full moon Spring Festival Evening, which fully highlights and explains his loneliness and incompatibility with real life. At the same time, it also shows his wild and uninhibited character. Other rendering in the poem is also to highlight the word "independence", the loneliness of the author's personality and the loneliness in reality. So "until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us." The essence of immortal famous sentences that have been told for thousands of years seems to enjoy itself on the surface, but in the author's own heart, it is full of loneliness and infinite desolation.

In order to highlight his loneliness and desolation, the author inadvertently used a lot of imagination and personification techniques to pull the bright moon on the horizon and the shadow under him together with himself, singing and dancing, scrambling in the brilliant spring night, away from the noise and struggle of the world, and get drunk! The personification of the moon shadow is precisely the personification of others in reality. At this time, in the author's mind, the moon and shadow are their purest friends and partners, although they are lifeless.

However, there is always a moment when you get together to drink, and the author has to face the helplessness of "waking up and having sex, then I get drunk and we lose each other". However, Li Bai, determined to see through the secular world, finally made an oath: "Is goodwill guaranteed? I see "A Long Way to the Milky Way" facing the end of a banquet. This highlights the core of this article: "independence"! Loneliness and loneliness, not only at this time today, but also in the long years to come, there is no one to drink with.

Explanation:

In Buddhism, there is a saying that "establish one meaning", then "break one meaning", then "establish" and "break" after "establish", and finally distinguish the law. In modern terms, it means telling a truth first, then refuting it and establishing a new theory, then refuting it and establishing it, and finally drawing a correct conclusion. Generally speaking, there are always two sides to this argument, which are "breaking" and "standing" each other. However, there is only one person in Li Bai's poems. In the form of monologue, self-reliance, self-improvement, ups and downs of poetry, innocence, so spread to future generations.

The poet came to the stage with flowers in the background and a pot of wine as props, and he was the only one who appeared on the stage. The action is a person drinking, plus the words "no blind date", the scene is very monotonous. So on a whim, the poet turned his own shadow, even himself, in the bright moon and moonlight on the horizon into three people, raised a glass and drank, and the deserted scene became lively. This is "Li".

However, despite the poet's hospitality, "Until I raise my glass, I ask the bright moon" and the bright moon are "indissoluble bonds" after all. As for the shadow? Although, as Tao Qian said, "When you see your son, you will never feel sad or happy. If you take a nap in the shade, you will never leave the sun ("Shadow Answer Table"), but after all, the shadow will not drink; So what should we do? Let's keep company with the bright moon and figure for the time being, and have fun in time when spring is blooming ("spring" is the reverse of the word "flower" above)! "Gu Ying was alone, and suddenly he was drunk again." (Tao Qian's Preface to Drinking Poems) These four sentences made the moon shadow unfathomable and overturned the previous case, which was "broken".

At that time, the poet was already drunk and in a good mood, singing and dancing. When singing, the moonlight lingers, reluctant to go, as if listening to good news; When dancing, my own figure, in the moonlight, also became messy, like dancing with myself. Wake up and be happy with each other until you are as drunk as a fiddler. When I was lying in bed, the moonlight and the figure were helplessly separated. "I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. After my shadow rolled down, I woke up to have sex, and then I got drunk and we lost each other. "These four sentences are the same as" Moonlight and Back "and are written to myself. This is the "station" again.

In the last two sentences, the poet sincerely met the moon and the shadow: "Is goodwill always safe?" I see the long road of the Milky Way. " But "moon" and "shadow" are still heartless things after all, and making friends with heartless things mainly depends on your feelings. In "Is goodwill always safe?" "Ruthless" is broken, "eternal knot" and "tour" are established, and they are broken and established, which constitutes the final conclusion.

The title is "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone", and the poet uses his rich imagination to express a complex emotion from independence but not independence, from independence but not independence, and then to independence but not independence. On the surface, the poet can really enjoy himself, but behind it is infinite desolation. The poet once wrote a poem entitled "If you are drunk in spring, you are determined to win": "If you live a big dream, why bother to make a living? Just lying in front of us all day drunk and slumped. Looking into the court, a bird was singing among the flowers. Excuse me, when is this? The spring breeze is whispering. Feel like sighing, and fall in love with wine. The song is waiting for the bright moon, and the song has been forgotten. " Look at the words "one bird", "self-pity" and "waiting for the bright moon" and you will know how lonely the poet is. Lonely invitation to the moon is not enough. Even in the years to come, you can't find anyone to drink. You can only be friends with the figure in the moonlight forever and meet again in a distant paradise. At the end of two sentences, the poet's sense of coolness is exhausted.

Even in the years to come, you can't find anyone to drink. You can only be friends with the figure in the moonlight forever and meet again in a distant paradise. At the end of two sentences, the poet's sense of coolness is exhausted. [5] This poem highlights the word "independence". Li Bai is ambitious and talented, and wants to make a difference, but he can't get the appreciation and support of the rulers, and he can't find many bosom friends and friends. So he is often surrounded by loneliness and feels depressed. In 4 uranium's poems, readers can hear the cry of a lonely soul, which contains protests against that unreasonable society and the desire for freedom and liberation. That unstoppable force is really enough to "shock the wind and rain" and "make the gods cry."

Although this poem says "bring my shadow and let the three of us", it mainly explains the moon. Li Bai likes the bright moon since he was a child. "Gulang Moon Journey" said: "When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it Baiyupan. I also suspect that Yao Taijing is flying on the other side of Qingyun Mountain. " In the eyes of young Li Bai, the bright moon is already a symbol of light. He often pinned his ideals on the bright moon and eagerly pursued her. "Drink poison to quench thirst" begins: "When will the moon come to the sky? I'll stop for a drink and ask. People can't go to the moon, and the moon walks with people. " In the poem "Farewell to the school book on the first floor of Xiezhou", he also said: "We both want to go to the sky to hug the bright moon with the yearning for the distance." He wants to climb the moon and embrace it, which shows his yearning for a better future. It is precisely because he hates the darkness and filth of society and pursues brightness and purity that he places such deep feelings on the bright moon that even his' death' is legendary, saying that he died after drinking wine and catching the moon in the water. The bright moon often reminds Li Bai of his hometown. When he was in Sichuan in his youth, he visited Emei Mountain, and Emei Mountain left a deep impression on him. He wrote a song "Emei Mountain Moon Song", which said that "Emei Mountain falls in the autumn in half a month and falls into the Pingqiang River", which is well-known. In his later years, he wrote a song "The Moon Song of Emei Mountain" in Wuchang, which was written to send a Sichuan monk to Chang 'an. The poem said that when he saw the bright moon in the Three Gorges and thought of Emei, Wan Li accompanied him to the Yellow Crane Tower. Now that I meet you, a guest from Emei, Emei Mountain will definitely send you to Chang 'an. Finally, he hoped that the monk Shu would "make a name for himself in the Imperial Capital and return to be the Emei Moon". The bright moon aroused Li Bai's homesickness, so in the famous poem "Thinking of a Quiet Night", he would say, "Looking up, I found it was moonlight, and then sinking, I suddenly remembered home". When he saw the bright moon, he thought of Emei and his hometown of Sichuan. Yue Ming is another close friend of Li Bai. "Dream on Mount Tianmu" says: "My heart and dream are in Wu and Yue, flying over Jinghu overnight. The moon shines on my shadow, and I shine on Yanhe. " In another poem entitled "Walking down the Mount Zhongnan to Good Pillows and Bowls in Hu Si", he said: "Walking down the Blue Mountain at night, moonlight is my escort home." It's like watching the moon with a child's innocence. More interestingly, when he heard that Wang Changling had moved to the left Dragon Label, he wrote a poem for Wang Changling. The poem says: "I am worried about the bright moon and will follow you to Yelangxi." In Li Bai's imagination, Yue Ming could follow Wang Changling to distant places with his sadness.

When readers know that the bright moon is so important to Li Bai, it is easier to understand why Li Bai pinned such a deep friendship on the bright moon in the poem "Drinking Alone with the Moon". "Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon, give me my shadow, let the three of us" and "Goodwill always be safe? I see the long road of the Milky Way. Being with Li Bai since childhood symbolizes brightness and purity, which often makes Li Bai miss the moonlight in his hometown and is worthy of his love for her. Li Bai, a great poet who is aloof and naive, also deserves to be Yue Ming's friend.

Brief introduction of the author

Li Bai (70 1 Feb. 28-762), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, is known as the "Poet Fairy" and the greatest romantic poet. Han nationality, born in Changlong County, Mianzhou (Brazil County), Jiannan Province (renamed Changming County in July12, now Qinglian Township, jiangyou city, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province), was born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions (now tokmak, Kyrgyzstan), and his ancestral home is Ji Cheng County, Longxi County (now south of Jingning County, Pingliang City, Gansu Province). His father, Li Ke, has two sons (Boqin, natural) and one daughter (Pingyang). There are more than 0/000 poems in the world, with masterpieces such as Difficult Road to Shu, it is hard to go, Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream, Jiang and Li Taibai Ji. He died in Dangtu, Anhui Province in 762 at the age of 6 1. Its tomb is in Dangtu, Anhui, and there are memorial halls in Jiangyou, Sichuan and Anlu, Hubei.

Li Bai (lǐ bái), whose name is Taibai, was named Qinglian layman, also known as "fallen immortal", and was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai's poems are magnificent and elegant, and his artistic achievements are extremely high. With rich imagination, passion and romantic spirit, he eulogized the mountains and rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland. He, known as the "Poet Fairy", mostly describes landscapes and expresses inner feelings. The poetic style is bold and unconstrained. He and Du Fu are called "Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li").

Li Bai was born in Changlong County (renamed as Changming County on July12, and now belongs to Qinglian Township, jiangyou city, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province), and in the first year of Chang 'an, it belonged to Mianzhou (Brazil County), Jiannan Province. Another way of saying it is that his father was born in the Broken Leaf City (now tokmak, Kyrgyzstan) in the Western Region from the Central Plains, and moved back to Chimelong County, Mianzhou, South Province (now jiangyou city, Sichuan Province) when he was 4 years old. His father Li Ke's life story is unknown.

Li Bai was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He spent most of his life roaming, and traveled more than half of China.

At the age of twenty, he went out of Shu alone and began to wander widely, starting from Xiangjiang River in Dongting in the south, ending in wuyue in the east, and living in Anlu (now Anlu City, Hubei Province) and Yingshan (now Guangshui City, Hubei Province).

He traveled around, hoping to make friends and visit celebrities, so as to be introduced, climb to the top in one fell swoop and realize his political ideals and ambitions. However, after ten years of wandering, I have accomplished nothing. Continue to go north to Taiyuan and Chang 'an (now Shaanxi An), east to Qi and Lu, and live in Rencheng, Shandong (now Jining, Shandong).

At this time, he has made many celebrities and created many excellent poems. Li Bai doesn't want to take the exam to be an official. He hoped to rely on his own talent and embark on his career through the recommendation of others, but no one appreciated him all the time. He once wrote a book to introduce himself with Han Jingzhou, a famous contemporary figure, but he didn't get a reply.

Until the first year of Tianbao (742), due to the recommendation of Taoist Wu Yun, Li Bai was called to visit the Hanlin in Chang 'an, and his articles became famous all over the world. Li Baichu was appreciated by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty for his talent, but later he was unable to meet the dignitaries. After only three years in Beijing, he gave up his official position and continued his wandering life.

In the second year of An Shi Rebellion (756), he was angry and difficult to settle down. He once joined the shogunate Li Yu, and unfortunately had a battle with Su Zong for the throne. After the defeat, Li Bai was dragged into exile in Yelang (now Guizhou), and was pardoned on the way, writing "Send Baidicheng early". In his later years, he drifted to the southeast, went to Dangtu county magistrate Li's uncle and nephew, and died soon.

Scholars in previous dynasties spoke highly of Li Bai's achievements in poetry and ode. Li Bai had a poem before his death. He Zhangzhi called him "fallen fairy" at first sight. Du Fu commented on his poems, saying that "the pen falls in the wind and rain, and the poems become weeping ghosts and gods" ("Send Li Twelve White and Twenty Rhymes"), praising him for "invincible poems, floating in the air, thinking of different groups; Fresh and open, Junyibao joined the army. " Hao Wei said in the preface to the collection: "It's a waste of time to fight for the ancients, and in a few words, ghosts are obsessed." Many scholars speak highly of Li Bai. Han: "Du Li's articles are in full swing." ("Adjust Zhang Ji"). Li Bai's poems and songs, Pei's sword dance and Zhang Xu's cursive script were called "three musts" by the literati in the Tang Dynasty. When the time came, Yang Du began to suppress Li. Bai Juyi said: "Those who are also masters of poetry are called Du Li's works. It's amazing, but people can't catch it. " Du Fu once commented on Li Bai, "Li Bai has a bucket of hundreds of poems, and he sleeps in Chang 'an Restaurant. The son of heaven doesn't get on the boat and calls himself Brewmaster. "

But there was a time when I had these friends.

Let me rejoice at the end of spring …

I danced. My shadow is rolling in the back.

As far as I know, we are good partners.
