For example, drinking Alone with the Moon I, one of Li Bai's classic poems, mainly describes the scene of Li Bai drinking alone in the moonlight. This is a simple and melancholy thing, but in the poet's delicate and imaginative conception, it shows a romantic, free and easy, broad-minded and unrestrained personality.
The whole poem is as follows:
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.
The meaning of the poem is: put a pot of wine in the flower and drink it yourself. No relatives or friends. I had to raise a glass to invite the bright moon in the sky and turn into three people facing the shadow on the ground. Of course, the bright moon doesn't drink at all, and the shadow just follows my body. I had to make a temporary wine companion with the bright moon and the shadow. If I want to eat, drink and be merry in time, I must seize the time when spring is blooming.
I sing, and the bright moon lingers with me. I dance, and the shadows are messy with me. When we are awake, we play together and have fun together. When we are drunk, we will naturally part. I would like to make a harmless friendship with them, make a permanent trip and meet again in a distant paradise.
