Generally speaking, it is a kind of sticky sorghum. Because I like to drink sorghum, I don't like to drink rice wine (especially rice wine), so I would rather believe that Tao Yuanming planted sorghum and drank sorghum. But small sticky grains are also called glutinous rice, and glutinous rice is also called glutinous rice. I don't know whether Lao Tao is drinking sorghum or rice wine at the moment.
Wang Shumin's Poems on Tao Yuanming holds that old pottery is millet, glutinous rice or yellow rice. He testified for the phrase "making good wine" and said, "The case sounds (I think Mr. Wang's pronunciation is wrong, and his voice should be familiar." ), the article said:' glutinous rice is sticky. "That is, millet, glutinous rice and yellow rice. "Xiao Tao Tong Chuan": "Gong Tian asked officials to sow seeds and said,' I have to get drunk often. "After reading the notes, I know that Mr. Wang won't make sorghum solution for the old pottery, but what is this? He gave three answers, but he didn't mean it
In Yuan Xingpei's annotation to Tao Yuanming, the sentence "I brew good wine" says: "I (Shu [two sounds, can't get the symbol of two sounds]), glutinous rice." It also lists the sentence of "Ming Guan sow" in Xiao Tao Tong Chuan. Mr. Yuan himself decided that the specialty of Lao Tao was glutinous rice and glutinous rice.
I also checked Mr. Lai's proofreading of Tao Yuanming's collection, but Mr. Lai did not give any explanation for "Qi".
Isn't what Tao Yuanming drinks sorghum? I really don't want to accept Mr. Wang and Mr. Yuanji's comments. Then I went to the dictionary to find out what the shovel was.
Shuowen Jiezi: firstly, the millet sticks to people, from the grain, pictographic.
Kangxi dictionary: valley name. Erya Cao Shi: "Many people, [Shu]: Many people have a name, which means sticky millet. The wine used by northerners is straw-like and coarse. " "Rite and Yue Ling": "The deep winter is the life of the great chief." "Zhou Li Dongguan Examination": "Staying with Zhu." [Note]: Qi Dan, Akasuya. Just like Guo.
Etymology: The sticky millet (sorghum) is called a word. You can make wine. Tao Qian's poem "Tao Yuanming Collection" and Jin Dynasty's "Guo Shi Shu": "I will pour when the wine is ripe." In ancient books, people who are sticky to other grains are often called "Shu". Sun Yan's annotations in Er Ya, Qi Yao Min Shu and Materia Medica Tu Shuo called glutinous rice, all of which have different names because of this time.
Cihai: Sticking sorghum. Mostly used for alcohol and tobacco. Shuo Wen: "Hey, millet is clingy." See "Xiaomi". Also refers to glutinous rice. Xiao Tong's Biography of Tao Yuanming: "When Gong Tian learned that officials were sowing seeds, he said,' I often get drunk.' "
In the first sense, the explanation of "qi" in the above four classics refers to sorghum. Shuowen is called Xiaomi. What is millet? Cheng's Textual Research on Nine Valleys said: "The millet is now called sorghum, or red beam."
In the Four Classics, the etymology and Ci Hai quoted and borrowed the story of Lao Tao respectively, but their interpretations of Lao Tao were different. Ciyuan uses old Tao Wei sorghum, and Cihai uses it as glutinous rice. There are two flowers, one for each table. But what should we do next? Where are you going? It seems that I am at a loss.
Confucius said, "You can ask for wealth. Although you are a whipping man, I will do it for you. If you can't ask, just do what I like. " He replied, "at the age of seventy, do what you want and don't cross the line." I wish I could do whatever I want. In this way, Lao Tao is of course sorghum, and the wine that Lao Tao drinks is of course sorghum wine!
