I have no hobby of drinking. Although I also drank in my early years, I really had no experience of writing after drinking. However, I think if I am allowed to write after drinking, I will probably not be as talented as Li Bai's poems. There are hundreds of poems about drinking, and they are all excellent. On the contrary, it is likely to be scribbled, and all articles are rubbish, wasting paper and ink.
Li Bai is a genius, and his temperament and talent are a special case. "Wine into luxury intestines, seven into moonlight, three into firm but gentle. Spitting it out is half a prosperous Tang dynasty. "
To some extent, it may be that wine made Li Bai. And ordinary people are afraid that they can't do anything after getting drunk!
Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection, the world's first running script, is a masterpiece written in such a state of being slightly drunk or half drunk and half awake. It is said that Wang Xizhi was shocked when he woke up and saw what he had written. He wrote it dozens of times, but it was not as good as the one he wrote at that time.
From this miraculous process, it is also proved that ancient literati held elegant collection activities in the way of winding water and boating, and it is also because wine really has certain functions of relaxing nerves, boosting passion and inspiration, and mobilizing creative desire, so as to achieve the purpose of forgetting myself and being fluent.
From ancient times to the present, there are many famous calligraphy works written by drunken students, such as Zhang Xu's epigastric post, Huai Su's self-narrative post, Su Dongpo's love of wine songs, Zhao Mengfu's wine fu, etc., which all reflect the interactive influence of poetry, calligraphy and Chinese wine culture.
Although wine has a certain "God's help" effect, it is also related to the degree of drunkenness, as well as the author's living conditions, actual level, literary talent and so on. Different from person to person, not necessarily.
What's more, books that are easy to succeed after drunkenness should mostly be running script and cursive script, while relatively quiet fonts such as regular script are rarely successful.
Although, wine has certain influence and function on calligraphy creation. However, I still don't advocate drunk calligraphy, and I don't advocate getting drunk on purpose for creation. After all, there are many side effects. Many artists have lost their lives or caused tragedy or decadence because of drinking, reminding us not to be too obsessed with wine.
I like static calligraphy, and I prefer static calligraphy. I like to burn incense after drinking tea and enter the creative state after listening to Zen music, so I think wine is useless to me.
