At that time, there was a man with lofty ideals named Liu Qian, who had a good relationship with Shi Yannian. They often drink together. Liu Qian also has a large capacity for liquor, which is comparable to that of Shi Yannian, so two people like to fight together to see who can drink more.
One day, they came to a new Wang Ji restaurant, drank from early morning till dusk, and kept pouring wine into their mouths until dawn the next day.
After drinking for a day and a night, they were neck and neck, and neither of them was drunk. The story spread all over the streets, and people praised the two super winemakers.
When Shi Yannian was a judge in Haizhou, one day Liu Qian visited, and the drunkard met Brewmaster, so he had to drink. Shi Yannian invited Liu Qian to drink on the boat. Once again, they were drunk in the dark, and there was no light in the sun and moon.
In the middle of the night, two drunks watched the wine run out. Shake your head at each other to show displeasure. Unable to find a place to get the wine, he simply dug out a jar of vinegar in the cabin and mixed it with the rest of the wine to drink. With this special vinegar, the two men survived another night.
Shi Yannian not only loves drinking, but also invented many strange ways of drinking.
Sometimes, he will be disheveled, barefoot, and drink with the shackles of criminals. This is called "prisoner drinking"; After drinking too much, Shi Yannian climbed to the tree to continue drinking, which is called "nest drinking";
What's even more unique is to wrap rice and wheat straw in your body and stick your head out to drink with others, which is called "turtle drink"; Drinking with people in the dark without lighting candles at night is called "ghost wine";
Drinking and drinking, climbing the tree for a while and jumping to the ground for a while, is called "crane drinking". In short, Shi Yannian's drinking style is eclectic, which makes drinkers always full of expectations.
When Song Renzong was in office, he appreciated Shi Yannian and advised him to give up drinking, for fear that he would get drunk and worry about his health.
Although the emperor meant well, this kind of advice is different from the intimate words of relatives and friends. After all, it belongs to the imperial edict, or oral imperial edict, and courtiers cannot violate it. As a result, Lao Shi, who has passed school age, had to give up drinking.
After Shi Yannian gave up drinking, his temperament changed greatly, he was depressed all day, and eventually died of depression for a short time.
Shi Yannian was very young when he died, only 48 years old. He should have died young.
Su Shun, Shi Yannian's super fan and drinking buddy, missed him so much that he wrote "Crying Man Qing", which can be described as sincere: "Last year, the spring rain blossomed, and it was endless to meet you. Sing a song, drink a flower arrangement, and get drunk at your house without sleeping. "
Look, here is another "flower arranging drink". Modern people's tricks on the wine table are far from wine culture, hehe!
