We will travel together forever and meet each other
Drinking alone under the moon
Author: Li Bai
Toast a glass to the bright moon and look at the shadow into three persons.
The moon does not know how to drink, but its shadow follows me.
While the moon is about to be shadowed, we must have fun until spring.
My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered.
They make love together when they are awake, but they separate when they are drunk.
We will travel together forever, and we will meet each other in Miao Yunhan.
There are *** four original poems, and this is the first. The poem describes the desolate scene of the poet drinking alone under the flowers on a moonlit night, with no one close to him. The poet uses rich imagination to express a complex emotion from loneliness to not being lonely, from not being lonely to being lonely, and from being lonely to not being lonely again. Li Baixian is broad-minded and has no tolerance for things and me. This poem fully expresses his mind. The first four sentences of the poem are the first paragraph, describing flowers, wine, people, and the shadow of the moon. The purpose of the poem is to express loneliness, but by raising a glass to the moon, the moon, the shadow, and the person are imaginary. However, the moon does not drink, and the shadow follows him, and he is still lonely. Therefore, from the fifth to the eighth sentence, discussions are made from the shadow of the moon, pointing out the meaning of the title "Enjoyment and Spring". The last six sentences are the third paragraph, describing the poet's determination to have a loveless journey with the moonlight and the figure forever, and to meet again in the distant fairyland in the sky. The whole poem expresses the poet's loneliness and arrogance due to his unappreciated talent, as well as his bohemian and unruly character. Inviting the moon to face the shadow is an eternal quatrain. Looking from the front, it seems that you can really enjoy yourself, but looking from the back, it is extremely desolate.
