It was already half a Tang Dynasty when he spat at the embroidered mouth.
Among the thousands of poems he left behind, the most difficult to surpass should be "Into the Wine", but the first poem 17 was amazing for thousands of years, and later some people called it "the song of Taibai, the most bold, and its talent is unparalleled throughout the ages."
The whole poem is as follows:
Have you ever noticed how the water of the Yellow River flows out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return?
Have you noticed that the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room, although it is silky black in the morning, has turned into snow at night.
Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he wants to go, and never point his golden cup at the moon empty! .
Since God has given talents, let them be used! As for the money, although it is scattered, it will get together again.
Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me, 300 bowls, take a big drink! .
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng can drink and drink endlessly.
Let me sing you a song! Please listen to me.
What are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures? I hope I will never wake up.
Ancient sober people and sages were forgotten, and only great drinkers can be immortalized.
Chen bought a barrel of wine with 10 thousand gold coins at a banquet in the temple, and everyone laughed and said one-liners
Why do you say, my master, your money is gone? , to buy wine, we drink together! .
Five flower horses, Hsi Chin, give them to the boy in exchange for good wine. Whatever you want, sell eternal sorrow.
This poem was written by Li Bai after receiving money from Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem is permeated with a feeling of sadness without injury, anger without anger, free and unrestrained, and has a strong appeal, even if it takes another thousand years, no one can match it.
The first two sentences of the poem are two parallel long sentences, such as stormy waves, which amaze the world.
The Yellow River has been the mother river of China since ancient times, and it's wonderful for Li Bai to take it as a starting point.
However, what he wrote was not what he saw with the naked eye. The river fell from the sky, which was his imagination. This fantasy is exaggerated, but it is reasonable. It's as if you close your eyes and you can see such a magnificent scenery.
However, such an irresistible scene has finally gone away and returned to calm. This time, I wrote the magnificence and age of the Yellow River water to the extreme, which made people excited.
The phrase "Mirror in the Tang Dynasty" is more realistic, which highlights the brevity of life.
Time is fleeting, just like the water of the Yellow River, which is gone forever. Life is short, and it is snowing. In that case, why not eat, drink and be merry?
This is what Li Bai wants to express. This kind of thought is not unheard of by predecessors, but it is rarely as magnificent as what he wrote, which is unacceptable.
The following two sentences are famous sayings that have been passed down through the ages, depicting Li Bai's unrestrained and high self-confidence.
The word "life" is the best description of carpe diem.
Li Bai has been a good wine all his life, as he himself said, "The wine shop has been hidden for thirty years." In his view, when life is proud, you should enjoy happiness, drink the moon and sing foreign wine.
But in fact, whether he is proud or frustrated, he never leaves his mouth. He is not only a poet, but also Brewmaster.
It is not disgusting for him to drink, because as Du Fu said, "Li Bai has hundreds of poems about drinking".
The word "life" highlights his confident and wild side.
Although he is proud of his poetic path, his political career has been very bumpy.
When he was young, he visited Li Yong, a famous man, and was left out in the cold, but he was not discouraged. He sang "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars into Wan Li".
It's the same here Even if Tang Xuanzong returned the money to him, he firmly believed that he would be a useful talent. Such capitalized self-confidence has inspired countless people with lofty ideals in ancient and modern times.
And the next sentence of "forward" vividly depicts the lofty sentiments in his bones.
It is said that "people who spend money will make money", and Li Bai is like this.
He is confident and generous, instead of treating money like dirt. He always spends a lot of money making friends and drinking for fun.
Because in his eyes, money is just a foreign thing, and friendship is priceless. He firmly believes that with his talent, even if he spends all his money, he can get it back.
How can such boldness and confidence not fascinate people?
The next three sentences describe a feast, in which he constantly persuades wine and sings loudly.
The phrase "cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle" not only describes the grandeur of the banquet, but also highlights the grandeur of Li Bai.
Not a dish or a dish, but a whole sheep and a cow.
Not a glass or a pot of wine, but 300 glasses.
Although it seems a bit exaggerated, the scene of drinking in a big bowl and eating large pieces of meat is very exciting.
The sentence "Cenfuzi" is his exhortation to wine, taking care of the title of "drinking".
Cen Can and Yuan Danqiu are Li Bai's good friends, and they all say that wine meets a bosom friend, so Li Bai is like this at this time.
The sentence "Let me sing you a song!" Vividly depicts his dazzling and heated image.
If you don't really enjoy it, how can you sing so happily?
The next three sentences are his drunken mantra, watering his neighborhood with ancient wine glasses.
"Bell and drum" is an indignant word.
Bells, drums and jade symbolize a rich life. Who doesn't yearn for such a life?
Li Bai also devoted himself to the pursuit of fame and fortune, but the reality gave him a great blow.
He was not summoned by the emperor until he was 43 years old and got a job as an academician.
However, this position, at best, is a "royal scholar", at worst, it is just to please the emperor's imperial concubine.
This was far from his political ambition, so he pretended to be crazy and sold stupidly, and was finally released by giving money.
However, his heart is still full of meaning, so he hopes to let life slip away from him and never wake up.
And the word "ancient" is his comfort.
He comforted himself that ancient sages were lonely, and only those who drank good wine would be remembered forever.
He also wants to be a saint, but he has no such opportunity, so he can send his feelings to wine.
To prove his point, he even cited the example of Wang Chen.
This refers to Cao Zhi, who once gave a banquet and drank wine in Ping's optimism and indulged in joy.
Cao Zhi is the son of Cao Cao. He is brilliant, but he has always been suspected by his brother xelloss. He is also notoriously ambitious, and Li Bai is in the same boat with him.
Although these words are written about grief and indignation that are hard to be rewarded, they are sad but not hurt, and they do not lose their heroic qualities. This is the poet's uniqueness.
The next few words are back to "wine", which is more and more cross-country.
The sentence "what is the master" takes care of the above-mentioned "money is gone", which shows the poet's generosity.
Even if all his money is gone, he will take out five flowers and thousands of gold jewels in exchange for wine. How can such lofty sentiments of getting drunk not be admirable?
The sentence "eternal sorrow" at the end echoes the "sad white hair" at the beginning. It's generous, solemn and stirring, and it's full of poems. It's a stroke of genius.
This poem is full of famous sentences and has the appeal of shaking the past and shining the present. Never before, never after.
I wonder which line in the poem you like best?
