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.
Appreciate:
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.
The poet hopes to drown his sorrows by drinking. Then the poet explained it from the perspective of outlook on life, sought spiritual comfort and came to the conclusion that "this is the most enjoyable".
Everything in the poem is basically optimistic, but the phrase "who can be alone in spring" tells the poet's inner helplessness and pessimism. Broad-minded, optimistic words are just self-comfort.
Not only can't, not stuck, not flowing. The result of intense self-liberation is often like an embolic flow, and its flow is exciting. When a person laughs wildly when he is in extreme pain, people can realize his inner extreme pain from it.
When Li Bai was frustrated, sad and unable to extricate himself, he made a drunken remark, "I don't know if I exist. This is the happiest thing." Readers can also feel the poet's inner pain from this word. Writing grievances with an open mind and sadness with joy is the main feature of this poem's artistic expression and the main reason for its artistic success.
