A suggestion for my friend Liu.
Author Bai Juyi? the Tang Dynasty
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?
Extended data:
A suggestion for my friend Liu is the work of Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes that the poet invited a friend to drink on a snowy night.
The poem writes down the desire for wine in a homely style and simple and cordial language, and expresses the sincere and intimate relationship between friends. The whole poem is concise and implicit, easy and free, and the lines are connected with each other.
Creative 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.
