The poem
With a jar of wine I sit by the flowering trees. I drink alone, and where are my friends? Ah, the moon above looks down on me; I call and lift my cup to his brightness. And see, there goes my shadow before me. Ho! We're a party of three, I say,- Though the poor moon can't drink, And my shadow but dances around me, We're all friends to-night, The drinker, the moon and the shadow. Let our revelry be meet for the spring time!
I sing, the wild moon wanders the sky. I dance, my shadow goes tumbling about. While we're awake, let us join in carousal; Only sweet drunkenness shall ever part us. Let us pledge a friendship no mortals know, And often hail each other at evening Far across the vast and vaporous space!
this poem reflects the personality Li Po/ Li Bai had. In the poem, it tells everything that connects the idea that he was very obsessed in liquor and very obsessed with the brightness of the moon as stated in the article when he died.
