LI Bai – Drinking Alone Under the Moon
poem
In amongst flowers with a bottle of wine
I drink alone for there is no one close by.
I raise my chalice to invite the shining moon,
The moon casts me a shadow and we have a triad.
The moon never learns to drink,
My shadow absent-mindedly follows me.
Nevertheless I have them around me,
Moments should be enjoyed as they be.
I sing and the moon lingers,
I dance and my shadow whirled under.
In my sober moments we rejoiced together,
Once I am drunk, it is a company no longer.
Such fellowship shall endure despite our parted ways,
Only heaven knows when we shall come together again.
Li Bai's poem describes how he drank alone in the garden in the evenings.
This is a very famous poem in China. It writes lively but contrasts the author's loneliness. Its translation is acceptable, so I used it.
The author uses personified rhetoric to describe his drinking with the shadow and the moon, and he writes about his feeling of being sorry for them. But this has highlighted the word "independence" in the title.
What attracted me to this poem is "The moon casts me a shadow and we have a triad.". Perhaps the loneliness and tenacity of this sentence have touched me.
This poem is written by poets, who spend their time alone in the moonlight night. The poet uses rich imagination to show a complex feeling from loneliness to non-loneliness, and then from non-loneliness to loneliness. This poem fully expresses Li Bai's generosity and the mind of mind. It is a masterpiece of Li Bai's lyric poetry.
The first poem deals with a lonely and sad feeling created by a political disappointment. In the poem, the lonely environment is rendered very lively. It is not only vivid, but also expresses the poet's broad-minded personality and emotion. The background of the poem is between flowers, the props are a pot of wine, the characters are only himself, the action is a solo drink, plus the "no blind date" three words, the scene is very monotonous. So the poet suddenly fancied that the bright moon on the horizon, and his shadow under the moonlight, pulled over, including himself, into three people, raised a glass to drink together, the cold scene, suddenly feel lively. However, when the moon does not drink, the shadow will continue to be lonely. Therefore, from fifth sentences to eighth sentences, we will discuss from the moon shadow and point out the meaning of "pleasure and spring". The last six sentences are the third paragraph, which describes the poet's persistent and relentless journey with the moonlight and shadow, and his reunion in the heavenly wonderland of Maoyuan. The poet uses abundant imagination to show a kind of complex emotion, which is from alone to alone, from not alone to alone, and then from alone to not alone. The whole poem in the form of monologue, self-reliance, self-reliance, poetic ups and downs and pure nature, so has been passed down for future generations.
His poems are mainly lyric, displaying the arrogant spirit of disdaining power and nobility, showing sympathy for the people's suffering, and being good at describing natural scenery and expressing love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland. The style of poetry is bold and bold, imaginative, natural and harmonious. Be good at drawing nutrition and material from folk literature and art and myth and legend, constitute its unique magnificent and gorgeous color. Li Bai is the greatest Romantic poet with unique characteristics after Qu Yuan, reaching the peak of Tang poetry art. It has the reputation of "poetry immortal" and it is also called "Li du" with Du Fu. There are more than 1000 poems and articles in the world. There are 30 volumes of Li Tai Bai Ji. [2]In addition, this poem has been included in the Chinese textbooks in Shanghai, which is helpful to our students'writing.
