Drinking the bright moon alone Li Bai from from a pot of wine among the flowers, I drink alone. No one is with me. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people. The moon doesn't know how to drink, but the shadow in front of it is behind. I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring. The song I sing is bright and wandering, and I dance the shadow before wandering. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness. I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way. Li Bai's five-character ancient poems have a wide range of themes and rich styles, and this poem "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone" fully shows Li Bai's elegant charm, romantic poetic style and personal spiritual world. There are fourteen sentences in the poem, the first eight of which are flat and the last six rhymes. As far as the genre of five-character ancient poems is concerned, drinking the bright moon alone is not long, but it is full of the pursuit and yearning of a lonely soul. Only Li Bai appeared in this poem, but through monologues, it set off layers of emotional waves in the depths of the soul, both ups and downs and natural, and has always been regarded as the passionate representative of Li Bai's poems. Wine and moon are Li Bai's most loyal companions in his life, and he has never left for a moment. Wherever he goes, he always leaves a touching work about wine and the bright moon. Such as "tulip in lanling wine, amber light in jade bowl" ("Work in One Guest"); For example, "Under the moonlight in Dongting, we bought wine and Bai Yunbian by boat" ("Five Poems of Visiting Dongting with Ye Lang, Assistant Minister of Punishment of My Uncle, and Jia Tuo from Zhongshu"); For example, "When will there be a moon in the sky? I'm going to stop for a drink and ask ","I only wish the song is right for the wine and the moonlight shines on the golden urn "("asking for the moon "); For example, "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon!" " ("into the wine"). Through these well-known poems, Li Bai created a unique realm that is both romantic and somewhat sad, and this wine-moon complex was brought to the extreme by this song "Drinking the Moon Alone". At the beginning of the poem, our poet was in a very pleasant environment, under the flowers and the moon, "from a pot of wine among the flowers", drinking a pot of wine among the flowers and getting drunk. But unexpectedly, flowers and wine made Li Bai feel unhappy. What is the reason? Because I drink alone. No one is with me! Li Bai has a famous saying, which can be used as a footnote to this poem. "Two people drink flowers in the mountains, one cup after another" ("Drinking with Friends in the Mountains"). Accompanied by like-minded "lovers", we can go to our hometown together in the flowers and enjoy the endless fun of drinking. But at the moment, there is no companion, so I can only drink alone. But he had a brainwave and created a brand-new realm for himself: "Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us"! From the lonely "no blind date" to the laughing "threesome", Li Bai completed it with one gesture. Look at him. When he raised his glass, the moon became his companion. When he bowed his head, his figure accompanied him. How chic, comfortable and vivid can the face of "fallen immortals" that is hard to find in the world be imitated by others? The moon in the sky is an eternal confidant of Li Bai's spiritual world and a frequent visitor in Li Bai's poems. He once recalled his first understanding of the moon when he was a child: "When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate" ("Exploring the Moon with Ancient Waves"); When he left home, the moonlight reminded him of the homesickness of the wanderer: "The foot of my bed is so bright, can it have frosted?" . Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, and when I sank back again, I suddenly thought of home "(Silent Night Thinking); In the autumn moon, he once poured out endless lovesickness: "After her closed window, why is she still waiting, looking at the glory of the autumn moon through its crystal pane?" ("Jade Family"); In the moonlight, he can become a bosom friend with the ancients: "Long meditation under the moon, thin eyes in ancient times" ("Singing under the moon on the West Tower of Jinling City"). Therefore, when reading "Until, raise my cup, I ask the bright moon, bring my shadow to me, let the three of us", we won't be surprised and confused at all. But we believe that this is the real Li Bai, a pure, romantic and out-of-touch "poetic fairy" Li Bai who lives in his own spiritual world! Only he can make such incredible moves, and only he can write such elegant poems. "Alas, the moon can't drink water, and my shadow follows me blankly; . But there was still a time when I had these friends who cheered me up at the end of spring. " Although Li Bai invited the bright moon as his companion, it's a pity that the bright moon is far away, so he can only hang high in the sky and can't get drunk with Li Bai. Although the shadow is close at hand, it will only follow silently and cannot really communicate. At this moment, the poet's heart is still lonely in this situation. Perhaps all geniuses are very different from ordinary people in ideological realm, and their pursuit and exploration are often misunderstood. For example, in order to realize the ideal of making contributions, Li Bai refused to be a royal scholar and washed away the drunkenness of Tang and Yang Guifei. Therefore, he did not enjoy the prosperity of the capital, refused to eat well, and insisted on wandering in the rivers and lakes. He even said that he was "I would like to cross the Yellow River, but I will climb the snowy Taihang Mountain when I cross the ice" ("Difficult to Walk"). This is not asking for trouble. Perhaps it is this ignorance of practice that finally made him a "long-flowing yelang". Du Fu, a great poet, once met Li Bai once. He wrote many poems to express his admiration and concern for Li Bai: "There are many nosy people in our capital, but you are a lonely and helpless poor man" (two dreams of Li Bai). However, even if Li Bai is reduced to "and you are lonely, helpless and pitiful", he will never regret it and never bow to the world. He wrote a poem "Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain": "The birds are high, and the lonely clouds go to leisure alone." I never get tired of seeing it, only Jingting Mountain. "Whether it is a bird with life or a cloud without life, as long as it can move, it will stay away from Li Bai without hesitation, leaving only the motionless mountain. Even so, Li Bai can sit comfortably in the mountains, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's personality, be immune to the crowd and refuse to go with the flow. Therefore, when Li Bai failed to persuade Yue to drink alcohol, he thought that it was not the pleasure he longed for most when he was drunk in Chang 'an to drink alcohol and write poems before and after the flowers and stay away from the interference of secular distractions. Then, on this beautiful spring night, eat, drink and get drunk with the bright moon in the sky and the underground figure. But a "temporary" shows that Li Bai also clearly knows that this relief is only temporary. However, it is probably because of its brevity that it is even more precious and cannot be easily let go. "I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. My shadow is rolling in the back. Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness. Will goodwill be guaranteed? I see the long road of the Milky Way. " The following poem has changed from flat to flat, and the emotion is stronger. At this time, Li Bai, who was half drunk, was getting better and better. I saw him singing and dancing, innocent. He looked up drunkenly, and the moon in the sky seemed to dance with the rhythm of his singing. He bowed his head drunk, and the figure on the ground swayed with his dance. All this seems to show an inexplicable desolation and loneliness, and he feels that it is not easy to have their company. The word "making love" shows the poet's satisfaction with this. Indeed, good wine made Li Bai forget the troubles in the world, and the bright moon brought spiritual comfort to Li Bai. In this unaccompanied "intercourse", the poet finally got drunk, and at the last moment before getting drunk, Li Bai realized that as long as he was drunk, all the moons and characters would return to their original shapes, and this temporary combination centered on him would no longer exist. However, he is not discouraged at all, because his relationship with Moon Shadow is long-term and stable. It can be seen that this is not the first time that Li Bai visited the house to drink the bright moon alone, nor will it be the last time, because the life path that Li Bai chose was doomed to be accompanied by loneliness and poverty at that time, so he had no one to rely on except himself. This is also the reason why he admires Lv Zhonglian, a lonely hero who is not loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, he wants to say that "the moon is long, and the eyes are ancient and rare". He can only introduce such "heartless" things as the moon in the sky and the figure on the ground as lifelong confidants. At this time, it is really heartless. Making love with heartless things naturally shows that the world was cold and human feelings were warm and cold at that time. It is conceivable that Li Bai was treated with courtesy and boasting when he was an academician in Chang 'an, but when he left the capital and was imprisoned, he suffered a cold reception from the world. But through these monologues and monologues, people can clearly feel that Li Bai is still frustrated and his original intention remains unchanged. As a representative of the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was highly praised by later generations because of his innate broadmindedness and superb romance. Emperor Qianlong also affirmed "drinking the bright moon alone" from this angle, saying that "curiosity through the ages can be obtained from now." Although I am poor, I have never been broad-minded. "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone is famous for its ups and downs, frankness and innocence. Throughout the poem, its emotional waves can be clearly divided into several ups and downs. The first sentence begins with Yang's "from a pot of wine among the flowers", and the second sentence is followed by "I drink alone. No one is with me. " But the next two sentences: "Until, raise my cup, I ask the bright moon to bring my shadow and let the three of us", sweeping away this cold and loneliness without blind date. This situation at the end of the first part of this poem is a scene from cold to lively after ups and downs and hard work. This first emotional ups and downs can be seen as a prelude, the arrangement of "under the moon" scenes and the appearance of "characters" (including virtual moon and characters). Although there was a little trouble, it was carried out successfully along the trajectory imagined by the poet himself. The second part of the poem is also four sentences, and the poet has also experienced an emotional cycle from sadness to joy. From lamenting the unhappy situation of two greeting wine companions, the moon and the figure, to completely ignoring and enjoying myself. The second wave of ups and downs in poetry is the formal development of the plot and the implementation of "independent action". At this stage, the poet, relying on his warm but lonely state of mind, is persistently pursuing an ideal realm that can't be perfect, because in the lonely situation, only the "indissoluble moon" and "shadowy shadow" can't be perfect, but at least it is an ideal realm. Although "temporary company" in the sentence "I had these friends for a while" more or less reveals the author's helpless regret, "Let me cheer through the late spring" shows that the poet has adjusted his mentality, thus realizing his "self-satisfaction" without any external factors this time. The third wave of ups and downs in poetry is the climax and sublimation of solo movements. At this stage, the poet has been completely intoxicated in the realm of "drinking the bright moon alone" created by himself. Messy dance steps, wandering moonlight, infatuation, things and I are integrated. After the poet indulges in pleasure, he will soon fall asleep in the wine country, but at the last moment of his sober mind, he has not forgotten to reach an agreement with those two people again. " "Goodwill always be safe? I see the long road of the Star River Bay. Only when we have a preliminary understanding of Li Bai's life and pursuit can we really understand this persistent feeling. The second success of this poem is that it is straightforward, pure and unpretentious. In this regard, Shen Deqian commented as follows: "It is pure nature to blurt it out. This kind of poem is not easy for people to learn "("Tang Poetry "). Indeed, after Li Bai became famous, many literati wanted to follow in his footsteps, but in the end they always gave up halfway. Therefore, for thousands of years, people can only express heartfelt admiration for Li Bai's artistic realm of "clear water produces hibiscus and natural carving".
