Which poem is it if you don’t see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky?

I will drink wine, but you will not see me

Author: Li Bai

The original text is

I will drink wine, but you will not see me

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 spending all my money.

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.

The bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will stay drunk and not wake up.

Since ancient times, all the sages and sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names.

In the old days, King Chen used to have banquets, fights 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.
