The theme of this poem is "Eat, drink and be merry".
"Entering wine" was originally the tune of piccolo and cymbals in Han Yuefu, which belongs to an old topic in Han Yuefu. This poem expresses the geometry of life, timely eating, drinking and being merry, lonely saints, and the nothingness and depression of drinkers' names. I hope to get rid of everything in the long drunkenness.
The first six sentences of the poem say that life is like the water of the Yellow River rushing into the sea and never coming back. So, you should eat, drink and be merry in time. In the Sixteen Sentences of "Born", Li Bai looked down on dude, despised wealth, and used drinking to kill the pain of persecution, exclusion and attack. The six sentences in "Bells and Drums" are written about the ruling class in feudal society having fun and cheating on each other. Living in this environment, Li Bai felt that he was bound everywhere and could not live freely. "Wang Chen" six sentences, with the glasses of the ancients poured their own size, endless!
In China classical poetry school, the relationship between poetry and music is very close, and the origin of discussion words must involve the relationship between poetry and music. Among the various forms of China's classical literature, poetry has the closest relationship with music, because the emergence and development of poetry has gone through a long historical period.
Although it is difficult to determine which works belong to the earliest poems in modern times, it is certain that the earliest written literary works in the history of China literature are poems, while some people think that the earliest poems are oral literature such as songs, ballads and proverbs. The preface to The Book of Songs says: "Emotion moves in China, action in words, and inadequacy, so I lament;" Lack of lamentation, so singing; I don't sing enough, I can't dance with my hands, I can dance with my feet. "This shows that when words and sighs are not enough to express people's inner feelings, there is singing. When singing is not enough, people can't help dancing.
Although these statements are somewhat exaggerated, they all illustrate the inseparable relationship between poetry and music. However, strictly speaking, the tradition of poetry cannot be equated with the tradition of ci. Poems and songs in the Tang Dynasty have always been stereotyped as five-character or seven-character quatrains and rhythmic poems (both of which are rhymes), but when Li Qingzhao criticized Su Shi and others' ci as "poems that can't be read in sentences", she emphasized the characteristics that ci is different from poetry. Therefore, we should see that words and poems are two different literary genres: the former is a lyric poem, and the latter is an unpleasant recitation poem or ancient Yuefu poem, which can be sung together, but not for singing.
