Extended information:
"Farewell with Ancient Grasses" is a famous work by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem expresses the feeling of farewell to friends through the description of the wild grass in the ancient plains. It can be seen as an ode to weeds and then to life. The first four lines of the poem focus on expressing the diachronic beauty of the life of weeds, while the last four lines focus on expressing the beauty of its immediate life.
The whole poem is rigorous in composition, the language is natural and smooth, the dialogues are neat, the description of the scene and the lyricism are harmonious, and the artistic conception is complete. It is the swan song of "Fu Dede". The first four sentences of the ancient poem "Grass" in the primary school textbook of the People's Education Press were selected. "Farewell to Fude Gu Yuancao" was written in 788 AD (the third year of Zhenyuan of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty). The author was 16 years old at the time. This poem is an exam-taking exercise. According to the rules of the scientific examination, any limited poem title must be preceded by the word "Fu De". The method is similar to that of a poem about chanting objects.
Bai Juyi’s home-brewed wine was of high quality. He wrote a poem about his wine: “Open the jar and pour out the jade liquid, gold and fat; you can already enjoy it by holding it, and you can enjoy it after tasting it; Drink to be hospitable, and then drink to relieve the frown; drink for four or five times in a row, and feel good in your limbs." ("Bai Juyi"). The history of Bai Juyi's wine making is not only recorded, but to this day, there is also a story about "Bai Juyi making wine to enjoy his neighbors on New Year's Eve" that has been passed down from generation to generation in Weibei.
