The meaning of this sentence is: When you are proud of life, you should enjoy the joy to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the bright moon empty without wine. This poem comes from "About to Enter the Wine" by Li Bai, a poet from the Tang Dynasty.
1. When did Li Bai write this poem? It is said that this was written when Li Baibai left Beijing during the Bao period and roamed the Liang and Song Dynasties, meeting his friends Cen Xun and Yuan Danqiu. The poem also mentioned that "Master Cen, born in Danqiu, will drink wine and never stop drinking." However, it had been eight years since Li Bai was demoted from Beijing when he composed this song "About to Enter the Wine".
2. What kind of mood does this poem reflect Li Bai? In fact, it is not difficult to see that Li Bai was using wine to relieve his sorrow. He suffered setbacks in his career, his talents were not recognized, and he was depressed. "If you are proud of your life, you must have all the joy. Don't let the gold bottle stand empty against the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold I have spent." This sentence shows that Li Bai is a bold, unruly and unruly person, but he has a lot of talent in his heart. Without it, he had to adopt the negative attitude of "All the sages in ancient times were lonely, only the drinkers left their names."
3. Why can Li Bai’s poetry be inseparable from wine? First, most ancient literati loved wine, and many poems were written with sudden inspiration when they were drunk.
Secondly, as the saying goes, one drink can relieve a thousand worries. Perhaps only wine can express the resentment and frustration in his heart. Didn't Cao Cao also say: "The only way to relieve worries is Du Kang."
4. Who is Li Bai? Li Bai (701-762), also known as Taibai, Qinglian Jushi, and "Exiled Immortal", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was hailed as the "Poetic Immortal" by later generations, and was also known as "Li Du" together with Du Fu. ", in order to distinguish them from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also collectively known as "Big Li Du".
According to the "New Book of Tang", Li Bai was the ninth grandson of Emperor Xingsheng (Liang Wuzhao King Li Hao) and the same clan as the kings of Li and Tang Dynasties. He is a cheerful and generous person who loves drinking, writing poetry, and making friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by the thoughts of Huang Lao Liezhuang. There is "Collection of Li Taibai" handed down to the world. Most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include "Wang Lushan Waterfall", "The Road is Difficult", "The Road to Shu is Difficult", "About to Enter the Wine" and "Mingtang".
