"Anecdotes from Dongpo"
Original text:
When Pushi was making wine, every thread of millet turned into dregs, and he never smelled the wine all year round. Now that I have the wine, I want to try it, but I want to harden it. At that time, Chen Mengxian and Xu Jichang had some reservations and wanted to compete with each other to win or lose, but they did not hesitate to do so. Xu Gong used his fists as high as possible and sang good songs in a drunken state. Mr. Chen's eyes are slow and his good singing is the appearance of wine. Each is called several patrols, and they are all sold by themselves. When drinking wine, they all seal the poppies, each with a beautiful appearance, and put it in the cup. After stopping for half an hour, they call to see off the guests, and they are already drunk.
This is the fault of fast drinking. One day, the guests were invited to have a drink, and each of them came up with clever tricks. The guests who had never drank alcohol also sang several songs and took the life mentality to help them get drunk. When drinking wine, if you finish the cup without taking it away, you will ask for it tomorrow and it will be empty.
Therefore, any fault in drinking is due to
drinking quickly. People in the world take pleasure in this, and they are constantly chasing it away. Because the wine star has a spirit, I don't hate the sincerity of having a relationship with wine, so I send him off quickly. If a righteous man in this world does not like wine, but drinks it forcefully, he will not be in trouble all day long. In front of the flowers and under the moonlight, good friends gather together, the host and guest treat each other as guests, and drink without getting drunk. This is all due to the sincerity of the master.
In the past, there was a scholar who did not drink alcohol since he was a child, but drank with his friends in his own court. By the time we got to the final table, we drank less than half a glass. The master was shocked and said to the scholar, "You don't drink evil?" The scholar smiled and said, "I can see the master's sincerity." When the master asked him the reason, the scholar said, "Master, please drink a cup by yourself first. I want to share it with you." Isn’t this sincerity for you to drink a glass of wine? As I am celebrating my wedding today, I will only drink half a glass of wine.”
The master was very pleased and treated the scholar well. Therefore, we know that the fault of drinking wine is all due to the lack of sincerity of the host.
Modern translation:
When I was making wine, I boiled all the rice grains into dregs, and I couldn’t smell the wine for a year. After the wine was brewed, I wanted to try using it to worship the gods, so I froze it. At that time, Chen Mengxian and Xu Jichang both had collections, and they both wanted to use them to compete with each other, and they were not stingy about it. Xu Jichang used his fists high and sang good songs in a drunken state. Chen Mengxian's eyes are slow and his good singing is the appearance of wine. Each patrolled several times and used this to boast about themselves. When it was time to pour the wine, they all covered the wine poppets, and everyone showed their beauty. When they got to the cups, they paused for a long time to greet the guests, and they were all drunk.
This is the fault of drinking freely. One day, I invited the guests to have a drink together, and each of them showed off their unique skills. The guests who never drank wine also sang a few drinks, taking in the life attitude to cheer up the wine. When it came time to pour the wine, he drank it all but refused to accept the cup. When he asked for it the next day, he was already drunk and had forgotten about it.
So all drinking mistakes are caused by drinking happily. The world regards it as a pleasure, and those who pursue it are inexhaustible. Probably because the wine star has a spiritual spirit, he doesn't dislike this kind of sincere association with wine, so he lets him drink freely. Like the righteous people in the world, they never like drinking, but if they drink it reluctantly, they will not be chaotic all day long. When the flowers are in front of the moon and the moon is under the moon, friends gather together, the host and guest treat each other as guests, and drink together without getting drunk. This is all caused by the sincerity of the owner.
Once upon a time, there was a scholar who had not drank since he was a child, but drank with his friends in the courtyard of a relative's house. A relative is the host. He drinks a glass of wine first and says to his friend, "Aren't you going to drink?" The scholar said, "It's not that you don't drink. It's just that you haven't drank enough." The host said, "I'm treating you today." I drank the remaining wine from the wedding ceremony.”
So he ordered more wine. When we got to the final table, we drank less than half a glass. ? The remaining wine from my wedding today only allowed me to drink half a glass more. "
The master was very happy and treated the scholars well. Therefore, he knew that the faults of drinking were all caused by the master's lack of sincerity.
