till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon and to bring me my shadow and make us three mean: raise a glass to the sky, invite the bright moon, and face my shadow, and they will become three people.

"till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, to bring me my shadow and make us three" is a famous sentence in Li Bai's drinking Alone with the Moon. This paper describes the scene of the poet drinking with the shadow of "I am not myself" and the moon on a moonlit night, and profoundly shows the poet's solitary scene with strange ideas and romantic imagination.

Extended information:

This poem was written in 744 AD (Tianbao of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was three years old), when Li Bai lived in Chang 'an, which was the time when the officialdom was frustrated. Under the title of this poem, the two Song editions and Miao editions all note the word "Chang 'an", which means that these four poems were written in Chang 'an. At that time, Li Bai's political ideal could not be realized, and his mood was lonely and depressed. So write a poem and tell yourself to eat, drink and be merry.

Li Bai, a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, was praised as a "poetic immortal" by later generations. He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's thoughts of arranging villages. Li Taibai's Collection has been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go and Difficult Road to Shu.
