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 all my money has been spent.
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, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time.
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.
Interpretation:
Can't you see that the water of the Yellow River rushes from the sky, and the waves roll straight to the East China Sea, never flowing back again.
Can't you see the old parents lamenting in front of the mirror about their white hair? It was still full of black hair in the morning, but it turned into snow-white hair in the evening.
(So) When you are proud of your life, you should indulge in joy and don’t let this golden cup face the bright moon empty without wine.
Everyone’s birth must have its own value and meaning. Even if a thousand taels of gold (even if) are used up in one wave, it can still be obtained again.
We are cooking sheep and slaughtering cows for fun, and drinking three hundred cups at once (today) is not too much!
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng! Have a drink! Don't stop.
Let me sing a song for you, please listen carefully to me:
How precious is the luxurious life of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long? I just want to be drunk and dream about death without wanting to wake up. . ?
Since ancient times, sages have always been indifferent and lonely. Only those who know how to drink can leave a good reputation.
Do you know the story of Chen Wang Cao Zhi’s optimistic banquet in those days? There were thousands of wine fights and boozy drinks, so that the guests and hosts could enjoy themselves.
Master, why do you say you don’t have much money? Just buy some wine and let us drink together.
Those precious five-flowered horses and expensive fox furs? Call your son out and let him exchange them for fine wine. Let us work together to eliminate this endless eternal evil. worry!
Creative background:
In the early years of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao reign, Li Bai was recommended by the Taoist Wu Renjun and recruited to Beijing by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who ordered Li Bai to be enshrined in the Imperial Academy. Soon, due to the slander of the powerful, Li Bai was expelled from the capital in the third year of Tianbao (744), and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty granted him gold and released him. After that, Li Bai wandered around the Jianghuai area, feeling extremely depressed, and once again embarked on a long journey around the mountains and rivers of his motherland.
At this time, it had been 8 years since Li Bai was "granted and released" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Li Bai and his friend Cen Xun (Cen Fuzi) were invited many times to the Yingyang Mountain residence of another friend Yuan Danqiu (Dan Qiusheng) in Songshan Mountain. The three of them climbed high to have banquets and wine and songs. The poet was politically marginalized and beaten, and his ideals could not be realized. He often used drinking to vent the stagnation in his chest. There is no better pleasure in life than drinking with friends, and the author is at a time when he is "embracing talents for the world but not meeting them", so it is inappropriate to use wine to create poetry and express his grievances.
