1. "About Drinking" was originally a melody of a Han Dynasty Yuefu short flute and cymbal song. The title means "Song to Encourage Drinking", and its content is mostly about singing and drinking. This poem was written when the poet and his friend Cen Xun were guests at the Yingyang Mountain residence of Yuan Danqiu, another old friend of Songshan Mountain. The author was experiencing setbacks in his official career, so he used wine to write poems and express himself heartily. In this poem, Li Bai "used the topic to express his feelings", drank to relieve his sorrow, lamented that life is easy to grow old, and expressed his feelings of not being able to appreciate his talents.
2. This poem very vividly reflects Li Bai’s unruly character: full of confidence in himself, aloof and proud, passionate and bold, “I am born with talents that must be useful”, “if you are proud of life, you must have fun” . The whole poem is full of majestic momentum, unrestrained emotion, fluent language, and extremely contagious. Li Bai's poems about wine can very well reflect his personality, with profound ideological content and mature artistic expression. "Jianjinjiu" is his masterpiece.
The beginning of the poem is two sets of long sentences in parallel, as if the wind, sea and rain are rushing toward the reader. "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return." Yingyang is not far from the Yellow River. You can climb up and take a closer look, so you can use it to get excited. The Yellow River has a long origin and a huge drop. It is like falling from the sky, flowing thousands of miles, and heading east to the sea. Such a magnificent phenomenon must not be visible to the naked eye. The author is imaginary and his words are exaggerated. The first sentence says that the coming of the great river is irresistible; the second sentence writes that the great river is going and irreversible. It rises and falls, forming a reciprocating chanting flavor that cannot be found in short single sentences (such as "The Yellow River falls to the sky and walks to the East China Sea"). Immediately afterwards, "I don't see you, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk and turns to snow at dusk." If the first two sentences are an exaggeration of the spatial category, these two sentences are an exaggeration of the time category. Lamenting that life is short, but not speaking outright, he said, "The mirror in the high hall is sad and has white hair." It is like a painting of scratching one's head and looking at the shadow, saying nothing. The whole process of life from youth to old age is described as a matter of "morning" and "twilight", and the originally short-lived things are said to be more short-lived. It is "reverse" to the previous two sentences, which said that the originally magnificent things are even more magnificent. exaggeration. The opening chapter "uses the water of the river to never come back to illustrate the perishability of life" and "uses the great eternity of the Yellow River to illustrate the insignificance and fragility of life." This beginning can be described as extremely sad, but not delicate at all. It can be said to be a giant-like sentimentality, with thrilling artistic power. It is also caused by the sense of momentum at the beginning of the long sentence parallelism. Authors often use this method of opening chapters, such as "Those who abandon me will not be able to keep yesterday's day; those who mess up my heart will be troubled today" ("Xuancheng Xie Tiao Lou Farewell School Secretary Shu Yun"), Shen Deqian said : "This style comes from Taibai's heart", which shows that he is quite creative. This poem contains the cry "You are missing" (generally Yuefu poems are only occasionally used at the beginning or end of the chapter), which greatly increases the emotional color of the poem. The so-called big opening and big closing, this can be said to be a big opening.
3. "To be happy in life, you must have all the fun." This seems to promote the idea of ????carpe diem, but it is just a phenomenon. Has the poet ever been "proud"? "The phoenix first issued the purple mud edict, paid homage to the emperor, and ascended the imperial banquet" ("Yin of the Jade Pot") seemed to be proud; however, it was just an illusion. "Playing the sword and singing with a bitter sound, dragging the train to the king's door is unappreciative" ("The Road is Difficult, Part 2") does not seem to be proud, but is disappointed and indignant, but it is not depressed. The poet then affirmed life and himself in an optimistic and strong tone: "I am born with talents that will be useful." This is a good sentence that makes people applaud and praise. "Useful" and "must", very confident, almost like a declaration of human value, and the "I" of this person needs to be capitalized. As a result, the seemingly negative phenomenon revealed a deep-seated positive attitude of being unappreciated and eager to join the world. It is precisely "there will be times when there are long winds and waves". We should drink and sing for such a future. What does it mean to spend money!
4. "A thousand gold coins are gone and you will come back again!" This is another astonishing statement with a high degree of confidence. It can drive money without being driven by money. This is enough to make all ordinary people speechless. The poem is like the person it was, and I think of the poet who "traveled eastward to Weiyang in less than a year and scattered more than 300,000 yuan in gold" ("History of Pei Chang of Shang'an Prefecture"), what a heroic feat it was. Therefore, this sentence is the pride deep in the bones, and it is definitely not a ten thousandth of it that can be obtained by posturing. In line with this style, the author describes a grand feast, which is by no means "one plate of food or two plates? One pot or two pots of wine?" but a whole head of "cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle" ", and will never give up until he drinks "three hundred cups". What a joyful feast, and what a heroic poem! At this point, the wild feeling reaches its climax and the melody of the poem accelerates. "Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, don't stop drinking!" Several short sentences were suddenly added, which not only made the rhythm of the poem rich in changes, but also made us seem to hear the poet frequently urging people to drink at the table. Not only did he meet a close friend in life, but he also met a rival in wine. Not only did he "get carried away with you," the poet even forgot that he was writing poetry. The poems he wrote seemed to be restored to life. He also wanted to "sing a song with you, please sing for me." Listen." The following eight lines are the song of the poem, which is purely a stroke of genius.
5. This poem was written after Li Bai returned to Chang'an. The whole poem is full of emotions. Regardless of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, its surges are like rivers flowing down, unstoppable, ups and downs, and dramatic changes; in terms of technique, Exaggeration is often used, and often modified with a large number of numerals, which not only shows the poet's heroic and free feelings, but also makes the poem itself appear smooth and lyrical; the wide opening and closing of the structure fully embodies the characteristics of Li Bai's seven-character song line.
