There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove.
With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine?
The translation is as follows:
Made light green rice wine and burned a small stove.
It's getting late and it's snowing harder and harder. Can I have a cup of hot wine in my humble abode?

Creation background
A suggestion for a friend Liu was written by Bai Juyi when he lived in Luoyang in his later years. "It snows at dusk and he misses his old friends." Liu Shijiu was a friend of the author when he was in Jiangzhou, and the author wrote a song "Liu Shijiu Sleeps Together", saying that he was Chu Shi of Songyang. Some people think that this poem was written in the twelfth year of Yuanhe (8 17), but the poet is Sima in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), so it is impossible to invite Luoyang's old friends to drink.
works appreciation
The poem "A suggestion for my friend Liu" is rendered layer by layer when it comes to the point, but it is not memorable because of the rendering, but it is still very rich. After reading the last sentence, "How about a glass of wine inside?" As you can imagine, Liu 19 will take a ride immediately after receiving Bai Juyi's poems.
So, two friends around the stove, "get carried away" to pour the newly brewed wine. Maybe it's really snowing outside, but it's so warm and bright indoors. Life rises at this moment, emitting a sweet and harmonious melody ... these are the associations that poetry naturally leaves for people. Because it is both exaggerated and concise, it is not only attractive, but also intriguing.
What makes people slightly drunk is not thin wine, but mellow mash, which can make people really intoxicated physically and mentally. Poetry contains the breath of life, and it is a wonderful chapter without any carving.
