“处世若大梦，胡为劳其生？”道家和佛家，都将人生看作是一场梦，认为人生不过是一场虚幻，唯有育化万物又为万物归宿的“道”及普渡众生的“佛法”，才是真实的，永恒的。故李白常常喝得酩酊大醉，他要在醉中来忘却这如梦的人生。诗人通过醉酒表达了对丑恶黑暗的社会现实的批判，同时在醉意朦胧中，以新的眼光发现新的天地，充分享受人生乐趣。当诗人从醉梦中一觉醒来的时候，觉得烦嚣的尘世已变得分外安宁：“觉来眄庭前，一鸟花间鸣。借问此何时，春风语流莺。”庭前花丛中，有一只小鸟在鸣叫，原来春天已经到了。原来世界中还有这样鸟语花香，春光明媚的幽美境地。这种幽美之境与其说是大自然的赐与，不如说是诗人心境的表现。他醉前竟百视而不一见，而如今在醉后醒来才突然发现，正是因为李白的心境在沉醉后平静了下来，他才会在安谧宁静的春光里发现了以前不曾发现的幽美之境。这种发现，犹如哲学上的顿悟，使人突然进入了一种前所未有的哲理境界，那是超凡脱俗的另一个世界，一切人间的忧虑和烦恼，都不复存在了。在这里宠辱皆忘，只有审美的观照、心灵的宁静。
对于这种醉后悟道境界的突然到来，诗人非常高兴，他感到自己已很久没有这种心境了，因此感慨再三。他很想让这种心境多持续些时候，怕自己过早地酒醒，又回到残酷的现实社会中来，被种种忧心的事所折磨，因此，他还得再喝上几杯。“对酒还自倾”，直喝到月上中天。他对酒狂歌，逍遥自得，久久地陶醉在无忧无虑的世界里。
这首诗深受陶渊明《饮酒》诗的影响，是“拟陶之作”，但又保持着李白自己的风格，写得“流丽酣畅”。不象陶渊明那样沉静、淡泊，只在沉醉的时刻，有些陶渊明的影子，等他一旦完全醒来，就又回复到豪放旷达的李白了。▲

“Life is like a dream. Why do you work for it?” Both Taoism and Buddhism regard life as a dream, and believe that life is nothing but an illusion. Only the “Tao” that cultivates all things and is the home of all things, and the “Buddha dharma” that helps all living creatures, are real and eternal. Therefore, Li Bai often gets drunk, and he wants to forget this dream like life in his drunkenness. The poet expressed his criticism of the ugly and dark social reality through drunkenness. At the same time, he found a new world with a new vision and fully enjoyed the fun of life in the haze of drunkenness. When the poet woke up from his drunken dream, he felt that the noisy world had become extremely peaceful: “Jue came to ogle at the court, and a bird sang among the flowers. I ask when the spring wind talked about the warblers.” In the flowers in front of the court, a bird was singing. It was spring. It turns out that there is such a beautiful place in the world where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant and spring is bright. This beautiful scene is not so much the gift of nature as the expression of the poet’s mood. Before he got drunk, he did not see anything, but now he woke up and suddenly found that it was precisely because Li Bai’s mood had calmed down after being drunk that he found a beautiful place in the quiet spring light that he had never found before. This discovery, like a philosophical epiphany, makes people suddenly enter an unprecedented philosophical realm, which is an extraordinary and refined world. All human worries and troubles no longer exist. In this place, we can forget both the bad and the bad, and only appreciate the beauty and the peace of mind.
The poet was very happy about the sudden arrival of the state of enlightenment after being drunk. He felt that he had not had such a state of mind for a long time, so he sighed again and again. He wanted to keep this state of mind for a long time. He was afraid that he would wake up prematurely and return to the cruel real society and be tortured by all kinds of worries. Therefore, he had to drink more. “The wine is also self serving”, drinking until the middle of the moon. He sings to the drunken, carefree, and revels in the carefree world for a long time.
This poem is deeply influenced by Tao Yuanming’s “Drinking” poem, which is a “imitation of Tao”, but it maintains Li Bai’s own style and is written in a “flowing and mellow” way. Not as quiet and indifferent as Tao Yuanming. Only when he is intoxicated, some of Tao Yuanming’s shadow will return to the bold and broad-minded Li Bai once he wakes up completely. ▲
