The 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.
The full text is translated as:
Didn't you see the water of the Yellow River fall from the sky? It rushes down to the sea and never comes back.
haven't you seen the white hair in the mirror of Gaotang? It is as black and soft as moss in the morning, and it becomes as white as snow at night.
Life is like a dream. When you are proud, you must take the opportunity to enjoy yourself. Don't let your glass face the moon.
I'm born with talent, and I'm sure to be of great use. A daughter is nothing, you can earn it back after spending it, but youth is gone forever!
Cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and have fun. If you want to drink it, drink it for 3 cups at once and have a good time.
cen Old Master Q, brother danqiu, drink quickly, and don't stop drinking!
I'll sing you a song, so please listen carefully.
What is the joy of ringing bells and eating, what is the feast of golden jade and delicious food? All these riches and splendor are like passing clouds. What is valuable? What I want is that the wine in the glass is not empty, and I will never wake up when I am drunk.
In the past, King Chen Si gave an optimistic banquet to his guests in Pingping, and drank every bucket of wine worth 1, yuan.
master, what are you afraid of? Do you think I have less money? Bring the big jar of wine and let everyone drink it!
My son, come here quickly, and fetch all the five flowers and the golden chiffon from home, and change all the wine to drink. I want to get drunk with you and get rid of the eternal sorrow in my chest!

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, Li Bai interprets Zhuangzi's philosophy of happy life, expressing his contempt for wealth and sages. But in the binge drinking, beer and skittles, in fact, there is a deep feeling of talent failure. Poets make use of the topic to drown their sorrows and express their anger. The whole poem is full of heroic momentum, unrestrained feelings, fluent language and strong appeal.
Overall appreciation
Time goes by, 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. "Don't you see how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return", Li Bai is in Yingyang Mountain at this time, not far from the Yellow River, and he climbs high, so he borrows the Yellow River to enjoy himself. 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 situation is Li Bai's fantasy, "from the Tao", with exaggeration in his words. 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 not available in short sentences (such as "The Yellow River falls into the sky and goes to the East China Sea").
Then, "Don't you see how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow" is like a wave of unrest. 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 one's sad life is short and people will get old once, he said "how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers", showing a kind of helpless modality. It is a reverse exaggeration to describe the whole process of life from youth to aging as a "morning" and "evening", to make the original short-lived thing shorter, and to make the original strong waves stronger than the previous two sentences. Therefore, the first set of parallel long sentences is both metaphorical-the river is gone and never returns, which means that life is perishable, and it also has a contrast effect-and the great eternity of the Yellow River shows the smallness and fragility of life. 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 opening technique is commonly used by the author, such as "since yesterday had to throw me and bolt; Today has hurt my heart even more "("'s farewell school book in Xuancheng Xie Tiao Building "), Shen Deqian said:" This style is too white from the heart ",which shows that it is quite creative. This poem is a call for "I don't see you" (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.
"If you are a husband of heaven and earth, everything goes against the journey; Time flies, and a hundred generations pass by "("Preface to the Spring Banquet from the Garden of Peach and Plum "). Although sadness is unavoidable, pessimism is not close to Li Bai's nature. In his view, as long as "life is proud", there is no regret, and you should indulge in joy. The five or six sentences are a reversal, from "sadness" to "joy". From then on, until "the cup never stops", poetry gradually became wild. "When you reach your destiny, you can't worry about your leisure time, and you can climb the stairs with wine" ("Songs of the Liang Garden"), and you can't eat, drink and be merry without wine, which is the topic. However, there is no direct description of the contents of the cup in the sentence, but the image language of "golden cup" and "opposite the moon" is used to highlight the metaphor, which makes drinking poetic; If you don't write directly, you should drink and revel. Instead of writing directly, you should use the double negation style of "don't make it" and "empty", with more emphasis. "oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases", this seems to be the idea of advocating carpe diem, but it is just a phenomenon. The poet is depressed at this time. "At the beginning of the phoenix, the purple mud was written, and the emperor called it a royal banquet" ("Yu Hu Yin"), which seemed to be proud when he was sent to Beijing and given a banquet by the emperor, but it was just an illusion. Then go to "feng would go homeward way, having no fish to eat, zhou did not think to bow to noblemen was meet" (the second of "Three Poems of it is hard to go"). In ancient times, Feng Xuan was a guest at the gate of Meng Changjun. He felt that Meng Changjun was not polite enough to himself. At first, he often played the sword and sang, indicating that he would go back. Li Bai hopes to "make friends with princes", but in Chang 'an, the dignitaries 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. Therefore, the poet affirmed his life and himself in an optimistic and competitive tone: "since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!", which is a sentence that makes people applaud. "Useful" and "must" are very confident, just like a declaration of human values, and this person-"I"-must be capitalized. Here, from the seemingly negative phenomenon, there is a kind of positive essential content that is deeply hidden and eager to join the WTO. It is "I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves" who will realize his ideal one day. 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 man, thinking that the poet "traveled to Weiyang in the past, not more than one year (less than one year), and scattered more than 3, yuan" ("History of Pei Chang in Shang 'an") is how heroic. Therefore, the lofty sentiments that are deeply embedded in the bones are by no means a poseur. With this style, the author describes a grand banquet, which is by no means "do you want one dish or two dishes?" Do you want a pot of wine, two pots? " But "cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle" from head to head, and never rest until you drink "3 cups". 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 drunkenness, dazzled and feverish, jumped to the page, suddenly making people feel as if they heard him loudly exhorting 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. He is not only a bosom friend, but also a wine-drinking opponent. Not only does he "get carried away", but the poet even forgets that he is writing a poem, and the poems he writes seem to be reduced to life. He also wants to "let me sing you a song!, please listen to 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.
"bells, drums and jade" means a rich life (when a rich family is eating, the bells ring and the food is exquisite as jade), but the poet thinks it is not expensive enough and says "I hope I will never wake up after being drunk". At this point, poetry clearly turned from wild to angry. Here is not only a drunken rant, but also a drunken confession. With "I" as a natural and useful talent, I should have been in the position of prime minister and prospered, but "the way is broad like the blue sky, but no way out before my eye" ("it is hard to go"). It is out of indignation to say that wealth is "not expensive enough" The following words "sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten" are also angry words. Li Bai once lamented that "it's impossible to manage Ge by himself", claiming that he had the talent of Guan Zhong, but Zhuge Liang's wisdom was not believed, so he said that the ancients were "lonely" and showed himself "lonely" at the same time. That's why I'd rather be drunk than awake. Here, the poet has poured his own block with the ancient wine glasses. When it comes to "only the drinker keeps his name", Cao Zhi, the "Chen Wang", is cited as the representative, and the sentence of "Returning to a banquet and having a good time, fighting for ten thousand wines" is used in his "Famous Capital". In ancient times, drunkards were vivid and partial to "Chen Wang", which was inseparable from Li Bai's self-conceit. In his mind, Xie An and other senior figures set an example, and among these figures, "Chen Wang" was more associated with wine. This writing has style, which is consistent with the extremely confident tone mentioned above. Moreover, Cao Zhi, the "Chen Wang", was highly suspected in Pi and Rui Dynasties, and his ambition was difficult to show, which also aroused the poet's sympathy. The mention of "ancient sages" and the second mention of "Chen Wang" Cao Zhi are full of paper grievances. 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?" not only takes care of the sentence "A thousand dollars are spent", but also pretends to be ups and downs, which leads to the last rhetoric: even if a thousand dollars are spent, you should not hesitate to give precious treasures-"Five Flowers Horse" (a good horse with five patterns of fur) and "Thousand Gold Qius" in exchange for wine, so as to get drunk. The beauty of this ending lies not only in "Huer" and "Yu Er", but also in a big tone; 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 is invited to drink by his friends. At the moment, he is sitting on a high seat and bossing around, suggesting that he should be a horse, which makes people wonder who is the "master". Romantic color is extremely strong. Speak quickly, and you can't do this unless you are bold and intimate. Poetry is so wild at this point that it makes people sigh and sing songs, and they want to "dance with their hands and dance with their feet." Love is not over yet, and the poem has ended. Suddenly, another sentence, "I will sell my sorrow for ever", is related to the opening "sadness", and the meaning of "sorrow for ever" is even deeper. At the end of this "white clouds from the air, disappearing with the wind", it is obvious that the poet is surging 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. For example, the poems repeatedly use huge numbers ("Thousand Daughters", "Three Hundred Cups", "Fighting for Ten Thousand Drinks", "Thousand Golden Jubilees" and "Worrying for All Ages") to express heroic poetic feelings, and at the same time, it does not give people an empty and grandiose feeling. Its root lies in its rich and profound inner feelings, and the underlying wine words. In addition, the whole article is full of ups and downs, and the poetry is suddenly unfolding, from sadness to joy, to madness, to anger, to madness, and finally to "eternal sorrow", responding to the beginning of the article, such as the river flowing, with momentum and twists and turns, and it can carry the tripod. There are some wonderful ways to write songs in his songs, and there are also wonderful ways to "forget the pen and ink", which is neither learned by deliberate description and carving, nor can it be achieved hastily. The whole article is dominated by seven words, but it is "broken" by thirty or fifty words, which is extremely uneven and complicated; Poems are mainly scattered and punctuated with short antithetical phrases (such as "Cenfuzi, Danqiusheng" and "Five Flowers and Horses, Thousand Gold and Qiu"), and the rhythm is changeable and unrestrained.
