"Into the wine" Tang Li Bai
Have you seen how the water of the Yellow River flows from the sky to the sea and never returns? Have you seen the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is still silky black in the morning, it turns into snow at night?
Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon empty! . Since God has given talents, let them be used! As for the money, although it is scattered, it will get together again.
Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me, 300 bowls, take a big drink! . Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng can drink and drink endlessly.
Let me sing you a song! Please listen to me. What are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures? Let me get drunk forever and never be rational! .
Ancient sober people and sages were forgotten, and only great drinkers can be immortalized. Chen bought a barrel of wine with 10 thousand gold coins at a banquet in the temple, and everyone laughed and said one-liners
Why do you say, my master, your money is gone? , to buy wine, we drink together! . A swift horse with five flowers and a golden autumn, give them to the boy in exchange for wine and share eternal sadness with you.

He believes that his talents and abilities will be recognized and reused by the society. Even if he encounters difficulties and setbacks at present, he will not give up his beliefs and pursuits easily.
There are also allusions such as "Cenfuzi, Dan Qiusheng" and "Prince Chen who finished the palace banquet" and the names of historical figures in the poems, all of which contain Li Bai's thoughts and feelings about life, friendship and feasting.
Finally, "five flowers and horses, golden autumn, exchange good wine with the boy, and sell the eternal sorrow together", expressing Li Bai's bold and love for wine. He advocates using wine to dispel eternal troubles and facing the suffering and disappointment of life in a bold way.
