Traditional Chinese version:
I will drink wine
Author: Li Bai
If you don’t see it, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and flows to the sea. Replied.
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.
Young Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink, but don’t stop.
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,
I will exchange them for fine wines, and sell the eternal sorrow with you.

It has very profound ideological content and very mature artistic expression. It has the greatest influence among the works with the same title. The poet drank heavily and sang loudly, using wine to relieve his sorrows, and expressed his profound and profound feelings about life. The poem is intertwined with feelings of disappointment and self-confidence, grief, anger and resistance, reflecting a strong and unrestrained personality. The whole poem is full of emotion, regardless of joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, its surge is like the flow of a river, unstoppable, ups and downs, and dramatic changes; the technique is mostly exaggerated, and often modified with huge numerals, which not only expresses the poet's heroic and free feelings , and makes the poem itself appear smooth and lyrical; the structure is wide open and large, which fully reflects the characteristics of Li Bai's seven-character song line.
Vernacular translation
Have you not seen the water of the Yellow River falling from the sky? It surges down to the sea and never returns.
Have you not seen the white hair in the high hall mirror? It is as black and soft as blue silk in the morning, but becomes as white as snow
at night.
Life is like a dream. When you are proud, you must take advantage of the opportunity to have fun. Don't let the wine glass in your hand be empty facing the moon.
I am born with talents that will be of great use. Thousands of gold is nothing, you can earn it back if you spend it, but your youth is gone forever!
Cook the sheep and slaughter the cows, and have fun. If you want to drink, drink three hundred cups at once, and drink it to your heart's content.
Old Master Cen, brother Danqiu, drink quickly, don’t stop drinking!
I will sing you a song, please listen carefully.
The joy of eating with bells and cauldrons, the banquet of gold, jade and delicious food. All these wealth and splendor are like fleeting smoke. What’s so valuable about it? What I want is that the cup of wine will never be empty, and I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time.
Since ancient times, saints and wise men have been ignored by the world. Only drinkers who put their love in wine can leave a good reputation.
Once upon a time, King Chen Si held a banquet for his guests in Pingtang, drinking wine worth ten thousand dollars each.
Master, what are you afraid of? Do you think I have too little money? Bring the big jar of wine over and let everyone drink as much as they want!
My son, come here quickly, take all the five-flowered horses and golden furs from home, and exchange them all for wine. I want to drink them with you and get drunk together to get rid of this. The eternal sorrow in my heart!
Creative background
There are different opinions about the writing time of this poem. Yu Xianhao's "Li Bai Ji" believes that this poem was written around the 24th year of Kaiyuan (736). Huang Xigui's "Catalog of Li Taibai's Collected Poems" was published in the 11th year of Tianbao (752). It is generally believed that this was written when Li Baibai left Beijing during the Bao period, roamed the Liang and Song Dynasties, and met his friends Cen Xun and Yuan Danqiu.
In the early years of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao reign, Li Bai was recommended by the Taoist Wu Yun 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. When Li Bai wrote this poem, it had been eight years since Li Bai was "gifted with gold 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 Yuan Danqiu, another friend of 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.
Comments from famous writers
"Collection of Poems by Li Taibai": Yan Yu commented: A knot of lofty sentiments makes it impossible to appreciate every word. To cover other people's poems, they can use their pen to think, but it is too white to just spray it from the chest. This is what they are good at.
"Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty": The transition is natural and turbulent (the second sentence of "Master Cen"). Yang Sheng'an said: Taibai sings wildly. There is truth in the truth, not just a crazy talker.
Volume 1 of "Interpretation of Tang Poems": This talent is not met, so it is entrusted to wine to let it go.
"Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty": Zhou Jue said: "The Yellow River" rises first, and people's appearance changes rapidly, just like a river that never returns. The whole idea of ??the article lies in the two sentences "To be successful in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon."
"This Muxuan Poetry Compilation": "Only the drinker leaves his name."
"Combined Interpretation of Ancient Tang Poems": Taibai's song is extremely bold and unrestrained.
"Er'an's Poems of the Tang Dynasty": Taibai's song is the most bold and unparalleled in talent.
"Selected Tang Poems Win Direct Interpretations": The beauty of this poem lies in its self-explanation and persuasion. Who is the "master"? Who is "Taijun"? Scolding all those who steal high positions and keep money, wonderful, wonderful!
"Detailed Explanation of Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty": Wang Yiyun said: This article is organized with long and short sentences, and the two words "Jun Bu Jian" at the beginning of the chapter lead it, which is also the same
Ye.
"Summary of Poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties": Wu said: Drive the dripping spirit (below the sentence "Proud of life"). Wu said: Hao Jian (bottom of the last sentence).
"Li Taibai's Poetry": All the whims come from the sky.
