Underlined words have notes: tap one. The Pinyin button below shows or hides all pinyin. 一 and 不 are marked with the tone you actually say.字下有虚线的，点开有注释。下方的“拼音”按钮可以显示或隐藏全部拼音。“一”“不”标的是实际读出来的变调。

The commonly taught text differs from the source text in a few places. It has jīn zūn (wine cup), qīng ěr tīng (tilt your ear) and gū qǔ (buy wine), where the source uses older characters or cè ěr tīng (turn your ear). The meanings are the same. In the line about staying drunk, some editions end with bù yuàn xǐng (unwilling to wake) or bù yòng xǐng (no need to wake); this text keeps bù fù xǐng (never wake again).

课本和通行本与这里用的古籍原文有几处不同：通行本作“金樽”“倾耳听”“沽取”，原文作“金尊”“侧耳听”“酤取”。“樽”和“尊”、“沽”和“酤”意思相同。“但愿长醉不复醒”一句，有的版本作“不愿醒”或“不用醒”，这里保留“不复醒”。

Background创作背景

Qiang Jin Jiu, "please drink", was the title of an old Han dynasty song. The poem is usually dated to the Tianbao years of Emperor Xuanzong; one view puts it around 752. By then Li Bai had left the capital, Chang'an, several years before, and his hopes of serving at court had come to nothing. With his friend Cen Xun he visited Yuan Danqiu at his home in the hills. The three drank and sang, and in that mood Li Bai wrote this poem. Scholars do not agree on the exact year.

“将进酒”是汉代乐府的旧题目，意思是“请喝酒”。这首诗一般认为写于唐玄宗天宝年间，一说是天宝十一载（752年）前后。那时李白离开长安已经好几年，在朝廷里的抱负没有实现。他和朋友岑勋一起，到元丹丘的山中住处做客，三人喝酒唱歌，李白借着酒兴写下了这首诗。写作的具体年份，学者说法不一。

The poet作者

Li Bai (701–762) was a great Tang poet, often called the Immortal of Poetry. He was bold and free, loved wine and loved to roam the mountains, and his poems fly as freely as a heavenly horse. He once wrote poems for the emperor in Chang'an, but was never given real work and soon left. The wild confidence in this poem, mixed with a sadness he cannot quite name, is Li Bai through and through.

李白（701—762），唐代大诗人，被人称为“诗仙”。他性格豪放，爱喝酒，爱游山玩水，诗写得像天马行空一样自由。他曾在长安为皇帝写诗，但不被真正重用，不久就离开了。这首诗里那种狂放和自信，又带着说不出的苦闷，正是李白的样子。

The mood意境

The poem opens like a floodgate. The Yellow River crashes down from the sky and never returns. Black hair in the mirror turns white as snow in a single day. Time and life run away so fast, so what should we do? Li Bai's answer: while you are happy, drink to the full! Then he cries out that heaven gave him talent for a reason, and money spent will come back. That is pure self-belief. In the middle he calls his friends by name and urges them to drink, as lively as a real party. But under the noise there is pain. When he says the sages were lonely and only drinkers are remembered, he is really protesting that gifted people like him go unused. At the end he would even trade his fine horse and fur coat for wine, just to wash away a sorrow as old as time. Reading it, you feel a force rushing like the Yellow River, and under that force, a deep sadness.

诗一开头就像打开了闸门：黄河从天上冲下来，一去不回；镜子里的黑发，一天就变成白雪。时间和生命走得这样快，怎么办？李白的回答是：趁着高兴，尽情喝酒！接着他大声说“天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来”，这是对自己满满的信心。中间他喊朋友的名字劝酒，像真的在酒桌上一样热闹。可是热闹里藏着苦：他说圣贤都寂寞，只有喝酒的人留下名字，其实是在说有才能却不被重用的不平。最后他连好马和皮衣都要拿去换酒，只为消掉“万古愁”。读这首诗，你能感到一股像黄河一样奔腾的气势，也能感到气势下面深深的忧愁。
