Give it to Li Bai
Author Du Fu, Tang Dynasty,
Qiu Lai is very concerned about him, but he is not ashamed of Ge Hong for cinnabar.
Drinking crazy songs for nothing, who is arrogant?
Meaning:
When we leave in autumn, we look at each other and float around like a flying canopy. I am really ashamed that Ge Hong, an alchemist in the Western Jin Dynasty, did not seek immortality.
Drinking and singing happily every day is a waste of time. Who is a hero like you for?

That autumn, when Du Fu wrote "Give Li Bai", Li Bai also wrote the poem "Send Du to East Shimen, Lujun". The poem says, "The flying canopy is thousands of miles away, and the cup is in your hand." The poet's deep feelings of parting were revealed from the stream.
This can draw lessons from Du Fu's poem "Qiu Lai cares about him and is still floating". Returning the money to Li Bai, I was glad to meet Du Fu in Shandong, and I had the same bumpy experience, so I felt the same.
The poem begins with: "Qiu Lai cares about him." "caring for each other" means meeting each other. "Shang" means return, still. This means that Li Bai and Du Fu meet in autumn, but they both float like weeds. This sentence says that Li Bai won gold and went back to Shandong to see Du Fu.
"Floating on Peng" vividly implies that they are all suffering from the ups and downs of their careers and the difficulty in expressing their ambitions. Here, the poet used the rhetorical device of metaphor, taking "Peng" as a metaphor. Peng is a plant. In China's ancient poems, "floating eaves" or "flying eaves" is a metaphor of wandering around.
For example, Li Bai's poem "Send Du to East Shimen, Lujun County" says: "The cornice is far away, and the cup is in hand." Among them, "flying over the eaves and walking on the wall" is used to describe wandering and uncertain whereabouts. In this way, not only vivid, but also implicit. It can be said that this sentence implies their current life situation, bumpy career and depressed mood.
Then he wrote: "I am not ashamed of Ge Hong for Dansha." "No" means no success. "Cinnabar" is cinnabar. Taoism believes that eating cinnabar can prolong life. Ge Hong was a Taoist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He went to Luofushan for an alchemist. Li Bai is a kind fairy who once made an elixir. Du Fu once crossed the Yellow River and went to Wuwangshan to visit Gai Hua Gaihuajun, a Taoist priest, but he was disappointed because he was dead.
"shame" means more than. Because both Li Bai and Du Fu like Taoism and have achieved nothing, Du Fu said that he was "ashamed of Ge Hong". On the surface, Du Fu seems to be trying to persuade Li Bai to concentrate on alchemy and seeking immortality like Taoist Ge Hong, but in fact he is suggesting that Li Bai should not feel sorry for his situation. ?
So Du Fu wrote in the third sentence: "Drinking songs crazily leads to an empty life." "Crazy" means wild and willful. "Drunk to death" means drinking and writing bold poems. It means (Li Bai) don't drink crazy songs and waste time.
The implication is that although Li Bai drinks and sings wildly every day, he is not appreciated by the rulers. This song first appreciates and praises Li Bai's talent, but it also implies that although Li Bai is talented, he can't get the opportunity and platform to display it.
Among them, "living in the air" is Du Fu's feeling about the bohemian life of Li Bai's poetry and wine. Of course, in poetry, Du Fu's feelings are not only for Li Bai, but also for himself.
Finally, he wrote: "Who is arrogant?" "Flying around" originally refers to arrogance and dislike of restraint. Now it is described as arrogance. The meanings of ancient and modern words are very different. The poet Du Fu's use of this word not only reveals Li Bai's arrogant and uninhibited character, but also embodies Li Bai's distinctive personality.
Among them, "for whom" means who will appreciate your lofty aspirations. By asking questions, the poet emphasized the loneliness of this peerless genius and enhanced his sympathy and love for Li Bai.
