It makes people yearn for it.
The mellow aroma of plum wine can not only keep away the cold and keep warm, but also cultivate one’s sentiments. Su Shi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in "Shui Diao Ge Tou": "When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that the beautiful buildings and jade buildings will be too cold at high places. "Dancing to clear the shadows, how can it be like being in the world?" The bright moon is in the sky, and the poet raises his glass to invite the bright moon. The fragrance of plum wine accompanies the bright moon, expressing the poet's pursuit of ideals and dissatisfaction with reality.
The sweet and sour plum wine can also taste various aspects of life. Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in "The First Spring Rain in Lin'an": "The taste of the world has been as thin as gauze over the years. Who makes people ride horses in Beijing? Listen to the spring rain in the small building all night, and sell apricot flowers in the deep alley in the Ming Dynasty. Short paper is written at an angle*, The fine breasts play with tea under the clear window. The plain clothes are not dusty, and you can still go home during the Qingming Festival. "The world is ups and downs, and the poet appreciates the sweetness and sourness of plum wine, and expresses his feelings among the mountains, rivers and countryside.
In addition to these masterpieces, there are many unknown poems that also praise plum wine. For example: "The plums are golden and ripe, and you don't feel the spring when you make wine. The fragrance is so strong when you open the jar, and you don't know anyone when you are drunk." "The spring breeze makes plums, and you drink plum wine in summer. You can relieve the heat and relieve thirst, and you can drink without feeling drunk." These seemingly simple poems , but truly expresses people’s love for plum wine.
