This article will provide an in-depth interpretation of "Will Enter the Wine", and reveal the deeper cultural connotation and emotional resonance behind the poem through the analysis of Li Bai's life experience and the details of the poem.
In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, writing and composing poetry was the main way for literati and artists to express their thoughts and emotions. The literary works of the Tang Dynasty were rich and diverse, among which Tang poetry was the most distinctive, and poetry in the form of quatrains and rhythmic poems reached the peak in this era.
In Li Bai's poems, the sword and wine become the most common symbols. "Three-foot Qingfeng, a pot of turbid wine, the sword and gall of the piano heart float to zero"., in "Chivalrous Journey", Li Bai turned his sword into a three-foot Qingfeng, which is his romantic martial arts style. "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon".In "Will Enter the Wine", wine becomes a medium to express emotions and indulge in individuality. These two symbols are intertwined and echoed in his poems, outlining a bold and deep picture.
Li Bai's talent is not only reflected in his mastery of different genres, but also in his diverse literary talents. Sword and wine, one symbolizes the perseverance and determination of the samurai, and the other carries the open-mindedness and romance of the literati。This unique interweaving makes Li Bai's poems have both the pride of martial arts style and the depth of romantic feelings. He subtly incorporates these symbols into his poems, making his works both sharp and restrained. He is known as the "poet immortal", he is a representative of the bold school, not only emotionally bold, his representative poems "Will Enter the Wine", "Chivalrous Travel", "Lushan Ballad", majestic, heroic and flying.
Li Bai is like a literary adventurer, constantly challenging tradition and exploring the unknown.
Although Li Bai was canonized in the capital"Enshrine Hanlin"., but the unsatisfactory career in the capital made Li Bai feel alienated and frustrated. Those who have great talents must have great ambitions, and "serving Hanlin" is regarded as an idle position, which is very different from his idea of wanting to serve the country. And his arrogant and informal personality made him ostracized. In this case, Li Bai had the idea of staying away from the hustle and bustle, wandering the world, and looking for a spiritual home.
So,Li Bai began his "wandering".。He traveled all over the famous rivers and mountains of the motherland, met many literati and scholars, and experienced the hardships of the people. During this period of wandering career, Li Bai left many immortal works with his unrestrained personality and refined poetic talent, profoundly depicting the social landscape and the world at that time.
"Will Enter the Wine" was created by Li Bai at the top of Songshan Mountain with his friends Cen Xun and Yuan Danqiu when he ascended to the top of the mountain。Songshan, known as Zhongyue in ancient times, is one of the five mountains, the terrain is steep, the top of the mountain can overlook the mountains, and the weather is thousands. On such a magnificent mountaintop, Li Bai drank wine with his friends and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of nature, and his mood at this time was as surging as wine. With a bold and passionate tone, with the help of fine wine, he expressed his unique views on life, ideals and pride.
With wine into poetry, Li Bai's "Will Enter Wine" can be called the leader of wine poetry。This poem not only shows Li Bai's unrestrained and proud personality, but also shows his free and easy attitude towards life. Perhaps it was after encountering the unhappiness of life in the capital that he flew into the sky like a bird, looking for a spiritual harbor. Whether it is drinking, expressing feelings, or swaying words and expressing feelings, Li Bai can integrate the strong fragrance of wine with the surging emotion. "Will Enter the Wine" implies a kind of release, a kind of unrestrained life, and a poetic pursuit.
The opening chapter is grand and sad, through the description of the flow of the Yellow River, it profoundly expresses the theme of short life and vicissitudes of life, highlighting the insignificance of mortals and the fragility of life on the banks of the Yellow River.
"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon".”In the magnificent opening chapter, the Yellow River is depicted as a rushing river, symbolizing the inexorable passage of time. The poem expresses a deep sigh for the passage of time and the shortness of life, presenting the sentimental feelings of Li Bai's "poetic immortal", which lays a sad tone for the whole poem.
"I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. ”In the latter part of the poem, Li Bai's pride and self-confidence are even more precious. In his poems, he expressed his firm belief in his talent, and this strong self-confidence and pride is a distinctive sign of the "poetic immortal" Li Bai, showing his indomitable spirit.
Friends and friendship are another prominent theme in The Wine.
"Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me. ”Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng is Li Bai's friend, and in the description of the poem, Li Bai invites his friends to climb the heights together and share a good time. This kind of drinking among friends expresses the poet's cherishing of friendship and yearning for happy gatherings.
"The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name. ”The booze in "Will Enter the Wine" is a happy gathering on the surface, but behind it is Li Bai's endless sad thoughts on life. Drinking to dispel sorrows, which is empty after drinking, is a state of soothing inner pain through a brief period of forgetting.
"Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”
King Chen: "Cao Zhi and Li Bai shared a similar fate, and both literati were deeply bound by the world. As Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhi's talent was often hindered by family strife. Li Bai expressed his lament for adversity in the example of Chen Wangyan, his talent could not be brought into full play, like a swan unable to soar in the fetters.
In the eyes of these literati, wine became an outlet for emotional outlets. In exchange for good wine and getting drunk with friends, it is precisely to express their desire to use alcohol to dispel their sorrows and release their inner depressed emotions. Through the drunkenness of wine, they hope to be relieved of their eternal sorrows in a brief period of forgetfulness. This idea of using alcohol to relieve their sorrows represents a helpless escape from the reality of the predicament, but it is also a way for them to express their emotions.
Such a wild and sad transformation sublimates the theme of "Will Enter the Wine". Readers can feel the endless loneliness of the poet's heart more deeply in reading, and this unique way of expression also gives far-reaching artistic connotation to "Will Enter the Wine".
"Will Enter the Wine" is not only an immortal poem in ancient Chinese literature, but also an artistic picture that expresses pride and ambition and the impermanence of life. With his unique artistic expression, the poet immortal Li Bai makes readers deeply feel the glory and transience of life, and pride and sadness are intertwined in the poem, making this poem a classic that has been praised through the ages.
In the dead of night, behind the drinking and laughing, there is endless sadness and worry, maybe this is the true portrayal of Li Bai in "Will Enter the Wine"!
