1. The emperor was unable to get on the ship, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal.

From "The Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. These two lines of poems are the author's description of Li Bai, from which we can clearly see the bold and unrestrained temperament of the poet Li Bai.

2. Even if you drink ten glasses of wine, you will not get drunk, and your feelings will grow deliberately.

From "A Gift to the Eight Virtues of the Guard" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. Even after ten glasses of wine, my face remained unchanged and I was not drunk at all. I sincerely thank you for your deep affection for your old friend. "When you drink with a close friend, a thousand cups are too little." Old friends can meet again, talk happily over wine, and express deep love without saying anything.

3. The article tells the story of the ages, knowing the gains and losses.

From "Odd Titles" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. Articles are an important matter that will last through the ages; I know the quality, pros and cons, and the pros and cons of an article. It can be seen from this that the author is quite proud of his own works and talents.

4. I don’t know how old I am when I am young, and wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me.

From Tang Dynasty's "Dan Qing Yin Presented to General Cao" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. These two sentences say that the hegemony established by Cao Cao has become a historical relic, but there are successors to his literary talents (referring to Cao Ba's ability to inherit Cao Cao's literary talents).

5. Long live the name of autumn, the loneliness behind your back.

From "Dream of Li Bai" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. Although your name will be passed down for thousands of years, that will be after your lonely life! Du Fu lamented that although Li Bai's peerless articles were enough to be passed down through the ages, Li Bai was too lonely, frustrated, and trapped during his lifetime.

6. What night is this night? ***This lamp is candlelight.

From "A Gift to the Eight Virtues of the Guard" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. What a night this evening is! I can actually get together with you and enjoy this beautiful candlelight together. These two poems describe the rare encounter in life. It is surprising and sad to be able to face candlelight and enjoy a good night with a close friend.

7. The sound of the horn in the eternal night speaks sadly to itself. Who can see the beautiful moonlight in the middle sky?

From "Sufu" by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty. The moonlight at night is so beautiful, who can appreciate it? The author uses the beautiful moonlight but no one to appreciate it as a metaphor for his unappreciated talents and unfulfilled ambitions.

8. The bright moon hangs in the sky, making the night lonely. It comes from "Later Leaving the Fortress" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes the night on the grassland. A bright moon hangs in the vast sky, showing a lofty and elegant charm. Facing such charming natural beauty, how can it not make people think endlessly?

9. The sound of drums and horns at the fifth watch is solemn and solemn, and the shadow of the Three Gorges Galaxy is shaken.

From "Ge Night" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. At the fifth watch, the sky was frosty and the sound of military horns sounded so solemn and solemn; the Milky Way in the sky was reflected on the water of the Three Gorges, and the reflections of the stars were constantly shaking on the water.
