What about happiness?
Specific meaning: The poet used the murder of Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, to write about himself and express his attitude of despising fame and wealth and pursuing a free life.
From Li Bai's Xiangyang Song in Tang Dynasty, the original excerpt:
If this river turns into spring wine, it will ruin the mound. A swift horse changes concubines, smiles and sings plum blossoms on carved saddles.
There is a pot of wine hanging by the car, and Sheng Fenglong is in charge of it. Xianyang city, sigh yellow dog, why fall like a moon?
Translation:
If the water in this river can be turned into Jiang Chun wine, the platform along the mountain and distiller's grains will be built by the river. Cao Zhang, who studied in the history of education, made a romantic move of exchanging concubines for a good horse, and sat on horseback and sang "Plum Blossoms" with a smile.
Hang a pot of wine by the car and have fun at Shengfeng Longguan School. How can Reese, who is about to be beheaded in Xianyang, drink freely and have fun under the moon like me?

Creative background:
In the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (725), Li Bai went east from Bashu. In the 15th year of Kaiyuan (727), he married the granddaughter of retired Prime Minister Xu in Anlu, Hubei. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (734), Han Chaozong was appointed as the chief historian of Jingzhou and the host of Xiangyang interview. Li Bai wrote this poem to express his anger when he asked for an official position.
Ideological theme:
The poet writes about himself by borrowing things, which fully shows his thoughts and feelings of despising fame and wealth and pursuing a free life. It also reveals the negative emotions of impermanence and carpe diem.
On the one hand, the poet outlined an innocent drunk image for himself with a straightforward style. The description of life scenes in the poem is very vivid and full of strong drama, reaching the level of vividness and reflecting the lively side of social life in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, it can inspire people to imagine that life may appear in another comedy color through the active life scenes around Li Bai, from Li Bai's flying spirit and unrestrained manner, and get a kind of spiritual relaxation and liberation pleasure, thus deepening people's love for life.
