Second, translation.
Didn't you see the Yellow River falling from the sky and the waves rolling straight to the East China Sea and never coming back? Can't you see that your elderly parents are sighing in the mirror about their aging white hair? When they were young, their hair was all white. When you are proud of your life, you should indulge in joy and don't let this golden cup be empty for the bright moon. Everyone's birth must have its own value and significance. With a stroke of the pen, gold can still be recovered. Let's have fun cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle. It's not too much to drink three hundred cups at a time! Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, drink quickly. Raise your glass and don't stop. Let me sing a song for you. Please listen to me carefully: What is the value of the luxurious life of eating delicacies all day? I just want to stay drunk. Since ancient times, sages have been lonely and lonely, and only those who can drink can leave a good reputation. Do you know the optimistic story of Cao Zhi's banquet in Wang Chen? You also drank heavily when you were fighting for wine, which made the host and guest have a good time. Master, why do you say I don't have much money? Just buy wine and we'll drink it together. Those precious beautiful horses and expensive thousand gold foxes and furs, please change all the waiters into wine, let's eliminate this endless sorrow together!
Third, the creative background.
In the early years of Tianbao of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was recommended by Taoist wujun, and was accepted by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, ordering Li Bai to worship the Hanlin. Soon, due to the slander of powerful people, Li Bai was expelled from Beijing in Tianbao three years (744), and Tang Xuanzong paid back the money. Since then, Li Bai has been wandering around the Jianghuai area, and his thoughts are extremely annoyed, and he has once again embarked on a long journey of traveling around the mountains and rivers of the motherland. When Li Bai wrote this poem, it was eight years since Li Bai was "given gold and returned" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Li Bai and his friend Cen Xun (Master Cen) were invited to Angelababy, another friend of Songshan, Yuan Danqiu. The three of them climbed the mountain, held a banquet and sang songs through wine. The poet was politically excluded and frustrated, and his ideal could not be realized. They often drown their sorrows in wine. The joy of life is nothing more than making friends at cocktail parties, and the author is at the moment of "using the talents of the world without meeting each other", so he is full of untimely drinking to drown his sorrows.
Four. Author's brief introduction.
Lipper
Li Bai (70 1-762), the word Taibai, was a romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty and was praised as a "poetic immortal" by later generations. Han nationality, ancestral home in Ji Cheng, Longxi, was born in Broken Leaf City (which belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty at that time and now belongs to Kyrgyzstan). At the age of 4, he moved to Mianzhou City, Jiannan Province with his father. Li Bai has more than 1000 poems, among which Li Taibai Ji has been handed down from generation to generation. He died in 762 at the age of 6 1. Its tomb is in Dangtu, Anhui, and there are memorial halls in Jiangyou, Sichuan and Anlu, Hubei. Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At the age of twenty-five, he left Sichuan alone and began to roam widely. It reaches Xiangjiang River in Dongting in the south, wuyue in the east, and lives in Anlu and Yingshan. It was not until the first year of Tianbao (742) that Li Bai was called to worship the Hanlin in Chang 'an on the recommendation of Taoist Wu Yun. Later, because I didn't see the dignitaries, I only stayed in Beijing for two and a half years, then I returned the gold and went away, and then I wandered around the world. Li Bai and Du Fu are also called "Du Li". His poems not only reflect the prosperity of the times, but also expose the debauchery and corruption of the ruling class, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals.
