Into the Wine
Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Author: Li Bai
Original
Have you noticed, how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return.
I don't see you, how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow.
oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases, and never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!.
since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!, spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!.
cook a sheep, kill a cow, whet the appetite, and make me, of three hundred bowls, one long drink!.
master cen, Dan qiusheng, will drink, and don't stop drinking.
let me sing you a song!, please listen to me.
what are bell and drum, rare dishes and treasure?, I wish I'd stay drunk forever.
sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten, and only the great drinkers are famous for all time.
prince Chen paid at a banquet in the Palace of Perfection, ten thousand coins for a cask of wine, with many a laugh and quip.
why say, my host, that your money is gone?, go and buy wine and we'll drink it together!.
five-flowered horse, thousand-golden-golden-qiu, and hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine, share the same sorrow with you.
Appreciation
This poem vividly shows Li Bai's unruly character: on the one hand, he is full of self-confidence, aloof and arrogant; On the one hand, after the twists and turns in the political future, it also shows the feeling of indulgence. In this poem, he interprets Zhuangzi's philosophy of being happy and shows contempt for wealth and sages. But in the binge drinking, beer and skittles, in fact, there is a deep feeling of talent failure. The whole poem is full of heroic momentum, unrestrained feelings, fluent language and strong appeal. Use the topic to play? Drink to drown your sorrows and express your anger.
as time goes by, it's like a river entering the sea and never coming back; Life is too short to see the blue silk and white snow in the morning and evening; The smallness of life seems to be an irreparable tragedy, and the only thing that can solve the worries is golden wine. This is Li Bai's sadness: sad but strong, sad but not hurt, extremely indignant and extremely bold. The table is lamenting that life is easy to get old, while the table is lamenting that talent is not met. At the beginning of the poem, there are two groups of long sentences, such as rushing to the reader with great momentum. ? Have you seen how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return? At this time, Li Bai is in Yingyang Mountain, not far from the Yellow River, so he borrowed the Yellow River to cheer up. The Yellow River has a long history and a great gap, such as falling from the sky, spilling thousands of miles and going east to the sea. The grandeur of the scene is not visible to the naked eye, so this scene is Li Bai's fantasy. From the Tao? There is exaggeration in the speech. The last sentence says that the coming of the big river is unstoppable; The next sentence says that the river is gone, and it is irreversible. One rises and one disappears, forming a sigh of relief, which is a short single sentence (such as? The Yellow River falls into the sky and goes to the East China Sea? ) what you don't have.
then,? Have you seen how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow? , just like a wave of unrest, a wave of rise again. The first two sentences are exaggerations of space category, while these two sentences are exaggerations of time category. Lament that life is short; Instead of directly saying that you are sad, life is short and people will get old once, but say? How lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers? It shows a kind of modality that looks at the mirror and caresses the temples, but it is helpless. Describe the whole process of life from youth to aging as? North Korea? 、? Twilight? The thing is to make the original short-lived thing shorter, and the first two sentences make the original strong waves stronger, right? Reverse? Exaggeration. Therefore, the opening' this group of parallelism long sentences has both comparison and meaning? It is a metaphor that life is perishable when the river is gone and never returns, and it has a contrasting effect; With the greatness and eternity of the Yellow River, life is small and fragile. This beginning can be said to be extremely sad, but not delicate. It can be said to be a giant-style sadness with thrilling artistic power, and it is also caused by the sense of momentum at the beginning of long sentences. This kind of opening technique is commonly used by the author. What about him? Since yesterday had to throw me and bolt; Today has hurt my heart even more? (Xuancheng Xie Tiao Lou farewell school book uncle cloud), Shen Deqian said? This style, too white from the heart? It can be seen that it is quite creative. Two poems? Don't you see? Call (generally Yuefu poems are only used occasionally at the beginning or end of the article), which greatly enhances the emotional color of the poem. Poetry has the so-called big opening and closing, which can be described as big opening.
? The husband of heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things; Time flies, a hundred generations of passers-by also? ("Preface to the Spring Banquet from My Brother's Peach and Plum Garden"), although sadness is unavoidable, pessimism is not close to Li Bai's nature. In his opinion, as long as? Proud of life? There is nothing to regret, but to indulge in joy.
the five-six sentence is a reversal. Sad? And copy it? Huan? Le? . From now until? Don't stop drinking? Poetry is getting wild. ? Life is full of sorrow, and drinking wine to climb the stairs? ("Liang Yuan Yin"), beer and skittles are indispensable, and this is the topic. But instead of writing directly about the contents of the cup, use? Jin Zun? 、? To the moon? The image language highlights metaphor, which makes drinking more poetic; If you don't write directly, you should drink and revel, but instead? Mo Shi? 、? Empty? Double negation style instead of straight Chen, tone more emphasis. ? Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases? This seems to promote the idea of eat, drink and be merry, but it is just a phenomenon. The poet is depressed at this time. ? At the beginning of the phoenix, the purple mud was issued, and the emperor called it a royal feast? ("Yu Hu Yin"), when he was sent to Beijing by imperial edict and given a banquet by the emperor, he seemed to be proud, but it was just an illusion. Again? Feng would go homeward way, having no fish to eat, zhou did not think to bow to noblemen was meet? ("it is hard to go? Secondly, in ancient times, Feng Xuan was a guest at Meng Changjun's door, and felt that Meng Changjun was not polite enough to himself. At the beginning, he often played the sword and sang, indicating that he would go back. Li Bai hopes? Make peace with princes? Yes, but in Chang 'an, the powerful people don't take him seriously. Li Bai uses Feng Xuan's allusions to compare his situation. At this time, it seems that I am not proud, but I am disappointed and indignant.
but not depressed. The poet then affirmed life and self with an optimistic and strong tone: Since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!? This is an amazing sentence. ? Useful? And? Must? Very confident, just like a declaration of human values, and this person I have to capitalize. Here, from the seemingly negative phenomenon, there is a kind of positive essential content that is deeply hidden and eager to join the WTO. Exactly? I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves? The day will come when you realize your self-ideal. It's nothing to spend money on drinking and singing for such a future. ? Spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!! ? This is another amazing sentence of high self-confidence, which can drive money instead of being made by money, which really astounds all ordinary people. Poetry is like a person, miss a poet? Those who traveled to Weiyang (in the past) did not exceed one year (less than one year) and distributed more than 3, yuan? ("History of Pei Chang in Upper Anzhou"), what an act. Therefore, the lofty sentiments that are deeply embedded in the bones are by no means a poseur.
quite like this, the author described a grand banquet, which is by no means? Do you want one dish or two dishes? How about one pot of wine, or two pots? But the whole head? Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle? Don't drink? Three hundred cups? Never rest. The cheerful atmosphere displayed in the banquet is magnificent.
At this point, the wild feelings tend to climax, and the melody of the poem is accelerated. The poet's dizzy and feverish drunkenness jumped from the paper, which suddenly made people feel as if they were shouting to persuade wine. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will drink, don't stop drinking! ? The sudden addition of several short sentences not only changes the rhythm of poetry, but also forces Xiao to speak loudly. It's not only a friend, but also an opponent, not only? Get carried away? The poet even forgets that he is writing a poem, and the poems he writes seem to be reduced to life. What else does he want? Let me sing you a song!, would you please listen for me? . The following eight sentences are the songs in the poem. This idea is strange and strange, and it is purely a stroke of genius.
? Bell and drum jade? It means a rich life (when a rich family eats, the bells ring and the food is exquisite as jade), but what does the poet think? Not expensive? And let it be known? I hope I'm drunk and never wake up? . At this point, poetry clearly turned from wild to angry. Here is not only a drunken rant, but also a drunken confession. With? Me? Born to be useful, you should be in the position of your dear friend and have a successful career. However? The way is broad like the blue sky, but no way out before my eye? (it is hard to go). Say rich? Not expensive? , is out of indignation. Below? Sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten? Two sentences are also angry words. Li Bai once sighed? Who can say that he is in charge of Ge? He said that he had the talent of Guan Zhong, but Zhuge Liang's wisdom was not believed, so he said the ancients? Lonely? And show yourself at the same time? Lonely? . That's why I'd rather be drunk than awake. Here, the poet has poured his own block with the ancient wine glasses.
speaking of? Only the drinker keeps his name? , then cite? Chen Wang? Cao Zhi is the representative. And use his "Famous Capital"? Return to the banquet and have fun, and fight with wine for 1? The sentence of. In ancient times, drunkards were vivid, but partial? Chen Wang? This is inseparable from Li Bai's self-conceit. In his mind, the tree is set as an example by senior figures such as Xie An, and among these figures, Chen Wang? More contact with wine. This writing has style, which is consistent with the extremely confident tone mentioned above. Cao Zhi, a poet of the Three Kingdoms, described the banquet in Luoyang in Famous Capital. After returning to the Pingle ancient view, the wine was worth ten thousand dollars. ? Cao Zhi is known as man of great talent (Xie Lingyun, a writer in the Song Dynasty:? There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight fights. I have to fight, and the world is divided into one fight. ? ), despite his sharp weapon and great ambition, he was politically hit by his brother Wei Wendi Cao Pi, and he was depressed. ? Chen Wang? Cao Zhi was suspected in Pi and Rui dynasties, and his ambition was difficult to show, which also aroused the sympathy of the poet. Mention it? Ancient sages? , two mention? Chen Wang? Cao Zhi, full of paper injustice. At first, this poem seems to involve only the feelings of life, but not the political color. In fact, the whole article is full of a deep and profound anxiety and self-belief. Poetry is so sad but not hurt, so sad but strong, that is, it is rooted in this.
I just showed a little deep concern, and then I went back to talking about wine, which made me more excited. The following poems are wild again, and more and more crazy. ? Why say, my host, that your money is gone? , both care? A thousand dollars is gone? Sentence, but also pretended to be ups and downs, leading to the last rhetoric: even if the money is exhausted, you should not hesitate to give away the precious treasure? A good horse with five patterns on its coat. Qianjinqiu? In exchange for wine, get drunk. The beauty of this ending lies not only in? Hoo? 、? You? , the tone is very big; Moreover, it has a kind of arbitrary mood that the author may not be aware of at the moment. You should know that the poet is just a guest who has been invited to drink by his friends. At the moment, he is sitting on a high seat, bossing around and proposing to be a horse. How many people don't know who it is? Master? . Romantic color is extremely strong. Speak quickly, and you can't do this unless you are bold and intimate. Poetry is so wild that it makes people sigh and sing songs. Dance with your hands and follow your feet? . Love is not yet over, the poem has ended, and suddenly another sentence bursts out? Is it sad to sell with you forever? , and the opening? Sad? Close, and? Eternal sorrow? The meaning of is even deeper. This? White clouds disappear from the air and disappear with the wind? At the end of the poem, it is obvious that the poet is rushing and ups and downs. Looking at the whole article, it is really ups and downs, and it must be like a giant pen.
"Coming into Wine" is not long, but it is full of five tones and extraordinary weather. It is full of pen and ink, full of grief and indignation, and wild, and its language is extremely bold and calm. Poetry has the momentum and power to shake the ancient and modern times, which is certainly related to exaggeration, such as the repeated use of huge numbers in poetry (? Daughter? 、? Three hundred cups? 、? Fighting for wine, 1 thousand? 、? Qianjinqiu? 、? Eternal sorrow? And so on) to express heroic poetry, at the same time, without giving people a sense of emptiness and exaggeration, its root lies in its rich and profound inner feelings, and the potential wine words are like choppy anger. In addition, the whole article is full of ups and downs, and the poetic sentiment suddenly turns from sadness to joy, to madness, to anger, to madness, and finally to the point? Eternal sorrow? In response to the beginning of the article, such as a big river running, it has momentum and twists and turns, and it can carry the tripod. His songs include the pregnant writing of songs, and the ingenious writing. Never go to the pen and ink? The beauty is neither learned by deliberate description and carving, nor can it be achieved hastily. The whole article is mainly in seven words, but in thirty or fifty sentences? Broken? It is extremely uneven and intricate; Poems are mainly scattered and embellished with short antitheses (such as? Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng? ，? Five-flowered horse, a thousand gold qiu? ), the rhythm is changing rapidly, unrestrained and not easy to flow.
