Wine flows in the world and merges with human blood into a long river of spirit.
Since the birth of wine, human life has taken on a new form, and there are many strange and varied drinkers in the world. From a common point of view, wine and people who drink are nothing more than food or drink. However, the significance of wine is far more than physical consumption, far more than oral pleasure. Wine is a cultural symbol, a custom, a etiquette, a temperament and a state of mind. In the final analysis, wine is an unspeakable survival experience and a lullaby for the free return of spirit.
The extension of the meaning of wine depends on the drinkers with different postures, colorful weather and bright stars in history.
Drinking to relieve anxiety, making people forget the pain and troubles in the world temporarily in cups, and letting the spirit rest and calm in drunkenness is an important reason for many people to drink. Cao Cao, Wei Wudi, who has established a generation of outstanding talents, still said that "drinking is a song, and life is geometric, such as morning dew, and going to Japan is much harder." Be generous, and your troubles will be unforgettable. How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang. "The feeling of desolation. All people in the world regard wine as a magical soup and fairy medicine to relieve their worries and soothe their souls. However, whether wine can relieve anxiety depends on people, time and things. " But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with swords, it is even more worrying to raise a glass to dispel our worries. Poems such as "the bright moon hangs high and lonely, and the wine is like sorrow, turning into lovesick tears" tell us that it may not work sometimes to solve the sorrow with wine.
Wine is the catalyst of spirit, which can make people gain lofty sentiments. Liu Ling, the first "alcoholic" in ancient China, said in Ode to the Virtue of Wine: "There are adults who regard heaven and earth as the time, ten thousand periods as the time, the sun and the moon as the time of sorrow, and the eight famine as the dynasty." "Curtain tower, longitudinal meaning, but already drunk, suddenly wake up, listen to the sound of thunder, turn a blind eye to the shape of mountains and rivers. I can't feel the pain and lust that is hot and cold. Overlooking everything, such as Jianghan duckweed. " This free and easy spirit of "being human" made Liu Ling a Dionysian.
The poet Li Bai's song "* Since God has given talents, let them find jobs!"! * (please delete the banned books), spin a thousand pieces of silver and come back! -What are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures? Let me get drunk forever and never be rational! ; The sober people and sages of all ages have been forgotten. Only the great drinker is famous in the world, and "drinking" has changed him from a poet to Brewmaster. Of course, Brewmaster also made him a poet.
Nietzsche thinks that the spirit of Apollo and Dionysus collided and merged with each other to produce art, so Dionysus spirit is ubiquitous in the kingdom of China literature and art. It has had a great and far-reaching influence on literary artists and their masterpieces.
Wine and poetry, wine and poets have always been one. Without wine, it is difficult to have earth-shattering and tearful masterpieces. "Hundreds of Li Bai's drinking poems. Chang' an went to sleep in a restaurant, but the son of heaven didn't get on the boat and claimed to be Brewmaster. " (Du Fu's Song of Drinking Eight Immortals) "Being drunk is a guest, and poetry becomes a god." (Du Fu's Poem of Self-management) "Raise people's aspirations and lead a poem to wine" (Su Shi's "He Tao Yuanming") "A cup of unfinished poems has been finished, and the poems are shocking every day." (Yang Wanli) "After the rain, flowers fly to the base, and you get drunk freely" (the first year of Zhang) is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and such examples abound in the history of China's poetry.
In painting and calligraphy, Dionysian spirit is more vivid. Among painters, Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting are hard to get, but as long as he is drunk and asks for calligraphy and painting with wine and dog meat, he will probably get it. Zheng Banqiao knew this was a painter's way, but he couldn't resist the temptation of wine and dog meat, so he wrote a poem to laugh at himself: "I might as well go to see the moon, but I only hate that the wine came late. Laugh at him and ask for a book, and ask his husband to get drunk. " Wang Xizhi, who was drunk in the meandering water, wrote Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which was "charming and vigorous, without peers", but when he woke up, "there were dozens of books, but he couldn't reach them". Zhang Xu, the sage of grass, "wrote when he was drunk and called crazy", so he has four poems, such as cloud paper.
Most drinkers are hermits. Zhuang Zhou, who pursues the unity of things and me, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death, should be the ancestor of hermits. Zhuang Zhou sang the song of freedom and advocated "traveling with things" and "traveling outside the four seas". He would rather be a turtle in a free mud pond than a bound swift horse. Ruan Ji, who is good at drinking to drown his sorrows, often gets drunk for dozens of days. He rode alone, with no purpose, no path to choose, no way to go, wailing and turning around. Ji Kang, the leader of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", lived in seclusion in the bamboo forest, enjoying iron and buying wine with iron. Besides drinking, I play the piano, talk about metaphysics and take samurai III. What he yearns for is a free life that does not compete with the world and cultivate immortality. He wrote in his famous "Breaking Up with the Mountain Gathering Source": "Today, if you want to keep the humble alley and raise your children, you often talk to your relatives and friends. Chen said, I drink a glass of wine and play the piano all my life, and my ambition will come true! " Unfortunately, it was eventually harmed by traitors, and a song "Guangling San" hurt the hearts of the world.
Tao Yuanming may be regarded as the purest poet, the truest hermit and the purest drinker in ancient China. The big "drink" is hidden in the city, and the small "drink" is hidden in the wild. Perfect for him. Tao Yuanming, 52, wrote in the preface to "Twenty Songs of Drinking": "Occasionally there are famous wines, and I don't drink them every night. Gu Ying was alone, and suddenly he was drunk again. I just wrote a few words to amuse myself after getting drunk, but I didn't have the whole speech. I told you and asked someone to write it, thinking I was laughing. " The fifth "Drinking" was regarded as a sacred product in the poem by later generations: "Building a house is in a human condition, and there are no chariots and horses. Ask what you can do, your heart is far from self-prejudice. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely. The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back. There is a real meaning in this, and I have forgotten what I want to say. " Poets can be described as spiritual detachment, harmony between man and nature, and ancient and modern human beings. Many people cry to be hermits and even claim to be immortals, but few can reach his position.
At present, wine can be described as various objects and postures, which is the blessing of modern people. But now, wine has become more and more popular, and it is full of countless desires and greed. Some people seek sex with wine, some people seek wealth with wine, some people seek officials with wine, some people drink alcohol to anesthetize, and some people drink alcohol to kill Qing Qing.
The joys and sorrows of wine, merits and demerits, are really unclear, unclear. . .
