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. Waiting for the bright moon, the song has been forgotten. Among them, the words "one bird", "self-pity" and "waiting for the bright moon" show the poet's unavoidable loneliness.
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. The last two sentences highlight the poet's lonely and barren feelings.
Original text:
Drinking four poems of the bright moon alone, the first part.
Author Li Bai? the Tang Dynasty
Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone.
Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind.
I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.
The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering.
When you are awake, you are happy together, and when you are drunk, you go your separate ways.
I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.
Translation:
Put a pot of wine among the flowers, and no relatives and friends will pour it themselves. Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon into three people before the picture. Of course, Yue Ming won't drink. Her figure follows me. I had to form a wine companion with them for the time being. If I want to enjoy myself, I must seize the beautiful spring scenery.
I sang about the moon, and my dancing figure was messy. When you wake up, you will be happy together, and when you are drunk, you will be separated. I would like to form an eternal friendship with them, forget the harm and meet at the edge of the misty galaxy.

Creation background
This poem was written in 744 AD (Tianbao three years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), when Li Bai lived in Chang 'an, which was the time when the officialdom was frustrated. Under the title of this poem, the two Song editions and Miao editions are marked with the word "Chang 'an", which shows that these four poems were written in Chang 'an. At that time, Li Bai's political ideal could not be realized, and he was lonely and depressed. So write a poem and tell yourself to eat, drink and be merry.
Li Bai (70 1-762), the word Taibai, was a romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty and was praised as a "poetic immortal" by later generations. My ancestral home is Ji Cheng in Longxi (to be tested), and I was born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions. At the age of 4, he moved to Mianzhou City, Jiannan Province with his father.
Li Bai has more than 1000 poems, among which Li Taibai Ji has been handed down from generation to generation. He died 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.
