From Huang Tingjian's Two Chapters of Thin Wine in the Northern Song Dynasty.
2. Original text:
Thin wine can be used to forget worries, and ugly women can be used to grow old.
Xu Xing is not necessarily a horse, nor is it necessarily a fox and fur.
No harm needs blessing, and a sweet meal needs no meat.
Let wealth and fame drift like clouds, and the little people condemn the great shame.
Many guests are timid and the door is full of servants.
Good things will be rewarded, and thick taste will make five soldiers.
People die and ghosts look good.
Ugly women in the same room, a panacea is better than nothing.
When a thin wine talks, a smile is better than tea Wan Li's appointment, it is better to return home.
3. Background:
Huang Tingjian, whose name is Lu Zhi, is a Taoist priest in the valley, a famous writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the founder of Jiangxi Poetry School. He was as famous as Su Shi before his death and was called "Su Huang" by the world.
When writing this poem, Huang Tingjian was in his twilight years.
In Song and Yuan Dynasties, he ascended the throne and appointed Huang Tingjian as Ezhou tax supervisor, but he was rejected. If you ask for a county magistrate, you can be appointed as the magistrate of Taiping Prefecture, and you will be dismissed after nine days in office.
When Huang Tingjian was in Hebei, he had some differences with Tingzhi Zhao. As soon as Tingzhi Zhao came to power, he presented "Jingnan Chengtianyuan" written by Huang Tingjian, accusing him of gloating. Huang Tingjian was removed from the list again and sent to Yizhou for control.
In the second year of Song Chongning, he was removed from Yizhou for the crime of gloating and slandering the country.
It can be described as contentment, and the whole poem expresses Huang Tingjian's open-minded and optimistic attitude.
