Liu Bang's Sajima Cao Wushang sent someone to tell Xiang Yu that Liu Bang intended to be king in Guanzhong. Xiang Yu was even more angry after hearing this, and ordered the soldiers to have a full meal the next morning to defeat Liu Bang's army.
a fierce battle is coming. Liu Bang was very surprised when he learned this from Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo. Liu Bang respectfully offered Xiang Bo a glass of wine with both hands, wishing Xiang Bo good health and long life, and made an appointment with his in-laws.
Liu Bang's affection wooed and persuaded Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo promised to intercede with Xiang Yu and asked Liu Bang to come to thank Xiang Yu the next day.
At the banquet of Hongmen, although there are many delicious wines, there are hidden dangers. Fan Zeng, the father of Xiang Yu, has always advocated killing Liu Bang. At the banquet, he repeatedly signaled Xiang Yu to give orders, but Xiang Yu hesitated.

3. Boiling wine on the most domineering dinner of heroes
Attending figures: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and Zhang Liao
The whole story of the dinner: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao held the emperor to make the princes, with great power. Although Liu Bei is an uncle, he is weak. In order to prevent Cao Cao's murder, I had to grow vegetables in the backyard of my residence and water them myself, thinking that it was a plan to hide my strength.
One day, while Liu Bei was watering vegetables, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Liu Bei into the house.
Cao Cao said that just now I saw the green plums on the branches of the garden, and I remembered the past of "looking at the plums to quench my thirst", which coincided with the brewing of wine, so I invited you to the kiosk for a while.
when Liu Bei came to the kiosk, he saw that all kinds of wine vessels had been set up and green plums were placed on the plate, so he put the green plums in the wine bottle and cooked the wine. They sat opposite each other and drank heartily.
When the wine was half drunk, suddenly it was overcast and heavy rain was coming. Cao Cao talked about the dragon's character and compared it to a contemporary hero. He asked Liu Bei, please tell me who the contemporary hero is.
Liu Bei pretended that he had no ambition, and said several people, but Cao Cao denied them. Cao Cao said bluntly, "There are only two heroes in the world today, you and me!"
Liu Bei was startled when he heard this, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.
It happened that it suddenly rained heavily and thundered loudly. Liu Bei had a brainwave and calmly bent down to pick up chopsticks, saying that he had dropped them because he was afraid of thunder.
Cao Cao said at this time, is a gentleman afraid of thunder? Liu Bei said, even saints will be rude to thunder and gale. Can I still be afraid?
Liu Bei's cover-up made Cao Cao think that he was a mediocre man with no ambition and cowardice, and Cao Cao never doubted Liu Bei again.
From this dinner, we can see that Liu Bei is an excellent actor, who fooled the wise Cao Cao.
As a result, Liu Bei later took the opportunity to run away. Later, Battle of Red Cliffs United with Sun Quan and defeated Cao Cao, which broke the situation of reunification and ushered in a new era of the Three Kingdoms.

As soon as they met, Jiang Gan asked, "How are you, Gong Jin?" This sentence is not only a greeting, but also shows the old friendship between Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu, and pretends to be a non-lobbyist.
After that, Zhou Yu gave a big banquet, and forbidden to talk about Cao Cao and Dongwu Army during the banquet. He just sat on the table, laughing and drinking.
Then, Zhou Yu led Jiang Gan to visit the elite soldiers of Dongwu Military Camp. Drinking until the evening, Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk Jiang Gan was terribly stimulated by Zhou Yu, but he didn't dare to mention lobbying Zhou Yu to surrender to Cao Cao.
However, in order to gain something, so as to make an account to Prime Minister Cao, he took a slant with his sword, and engaged in night eavesdropping, stealing books and other petty acts.
Later, Cao Cao was tricked into beheading Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the leaders of the water army.
As a result, one of them failed to persuade him to surrender, so he tried to steal enemy secrets with the skill of calling a rooster to warn a dog and stealing a thief, while the other followed suit and invited you to the urn. This Battle of Red Cliffs and Jiang Gan have made great contributions to Dongwu!

Attendees: Wang Dao and Zhou E
The whole story of the dinner: At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, after the Eight Kings Rebellion and Yongjia disaster in the Central Plains, a large area of land in the north fell into the hands of Hu people. The northern gentry moved their families to the south one after another, and 67% of them crossed the river to the south, which was called "crossing the river with clothes on" in history.
although the northern scholars settled down for a while after crossing the south, they often cared about their motherland. In their spare time, they meet at the new pavilion on the Yangtze River outside the city for a drink.
Zhou E, a celebrity, sighed, "The scenery is different, and there are different rivers when you look up." Everyone present felt that the Central Plains had fallen into the hands of foreigners. At that time, there was no hope for their home country, and they wept in succession.
Wang Dao, the leading celebrity, immediately changed his color and snapped: "When * * * makes great efforts to conquer China, why should it be a Chu prison?"
When Wang Dao said this, everyone was very ashamed and cheered up immediately. This is a very famous new pavilion meeting in history.

6. Du Kang's drunken Liu Ling's most unqualified dinner
Attendees: Du Kang and Liu Ling
The whole story of the dinner: It is said that Liu Ling, one of the seven sages of bamboo forests in the Jin Dynasty, has a great capacity for drinking. Dissatisfied with politics, he often travels and drinks.
once he came to Luoyang and walked to the door of Dukang Wine Shop. I saw the couplet on the door read: "The tiger is drunk in the mountains, and the dragon sleeps under the sea." Horizontal batch: "One drunk for three years".
When Liu Ling saw this pair, she thought: The owner of this wine shop is so ignorant that he doesn't know my name, and even dares to boast about such a big mouth.
Since you have such a big tone in Du Kang, I, Liu Ling, will show you what magnanimity means today, thinking about it, I went into the wine shop.
Liu Ling drank a cup, which tasted very good, and asked Du Kang to serve it again. Du Kang advised him not to drink any more, but Liu Ling wouldn't listen. After the second cup, I felt a little tipsy, thinking that this wine is really good and I want to serve it again.
Du Kang said that if you drink any more, you will get drunk. Liu Ling refused, and after three rounds of wine, he couldn't help it. He muttered, "The first cup of wine is as sweet as honey, the second cup is sweeter than honey, and the third cup of wine makes me feel dizzy and blue."
Liu Ling murmured all the way and got home drunk. He called his wife to the bed and said, "I'm going to die. Bury me in a wine pool, cover it with distiller's grains, and make a pot for me and put it beside me."
with that, he died. Liu Ling was a good drinker all his life, so his wife buried him according to the law.
Three years later, Du Kang visited Liu Ling. Liu Ling's wife asked him what he wanted. Du Kang said that Liu Ling had drunk wine three years ago and had not given money.
when Liu's wife heard this, she didn't know where the fire came from: "Liu Ling drank someone's wine three years ago and died when she got home. So I drank your wine! If you want money, I'll ask you for someone! "
Du Kang said, "That's not dead, but drunk. Go for a walk, you are quick to show me where he is buried. "
when they came to the wine pool and opened the distiller's grains, Liu Ling really looked rosy. Du Kang patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Liu Ling, wake up!"
I saw Liu Ling yawning and mumbling, "Good wine, good wine!"
Since then, Du Kang's drunken Liu Ling has become a historical story.
In the year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms began to sing in his immortal "A Short Song", in which "How to solve your worries, only Du Kang" has become a famous sentence in China culture.

Second Immortal Ruyang Wang Li Xian: Ruyang's three fights started in the sky, and the road was salivating at the corner of the car, so he hated to seal it to Jiuquan.
Li Shizhi, the three immortals' left phase: The left phase costs ten thousand yuan to prosper every day, and drinking like a long whale sucks hundreds of rivers, and a cup of music is called avoiding sages.

Jiao Sui, the debater of the Eight Immortals: Jiao Sui's five fights are outstanding, and he talks a lot and surprises four banquets.
The whole story of the dinner: Although there is no detailed historical document to verify the reception, it is supported by Du Fu's poem Song of Eight Immortals in Drinking.
Say this day, Dionysus Brewmaster, weddings; You come and go, raise a glass and drink; It' s intertwined and full of joy; Wine and color gather together, and drink and enjoy; Sit and talk, get drunk and forget your worries.
Make friends by writing, and drink by poetry; Only wine is a service, how to know the rest; Wake up suddenly and get drunk again; Pick a lamp in drunkenness and look for wine under the lamp; Dry Kun in wine, sun and moon in cup; Clear wine is sacred, and turbid wine is virtuous.
wine confuses your nature, and it emboldens me; Master of wine forest, rookie of drinking altar; Deep feelings, a bite will be covered; Feelings are not deep, and the tip of the tongue is added; The sea eats the sea and drinks it, and the ox drinks the donkey.
every wine meets a bosom friend, and a thousand cups hate less; Three rounds have passed, and there are still six laps; After six laps, ten more altars.
8. The most romantic dinner for the imperial concubine
Attendants: Yang Guifei, Gao Lishi, Pei Lishi, etc.
The whole dinner: The drunken imperial concubine is the only famous bureau with women as the leading role.
On this evening, a cool breeze was blowing in the palace courtyard, and the bright moon was in the sky. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei originally agreed to enjoy wine tasting and flowers at Baihua Pavilion. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong did not keep the appointment, but moved to Xigong to spend a good night with Mei Fei.
It's a beautiful day. Although the scenery is fascinating, Yang Guifei had to drink alone in the flowers and the moon, and after drinking for a while, she was intoxicated and danced while drinking.
All kinds of Chun Qing, at this time, it's hard to get rid of herself and drink into her heart, and even get carried away. In the face of a bunch of eunuchs and maids such as Gao Lishi, Yang Guifei frequently made all kinds of temptations, and she was very tired before she returned to the palace.
Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady is a famous Beijing opera. The earliest version of Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady was Kunqu Opera. In the original track, after getting drunk, Yang Guifei enjoyed being in love with the spring, unbuttoning her clothes lightly, and the spring was suddenly released.
Later, Mei Lanfang personally made a "decontamination treatment" of this work by thunderbolt, and all the content unsuitable for children was cut off.
9. Dinner with a glass of wine to relieve the soldiers
Attendees: Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi, Zhang Lingfeng, Zhao Yanhui and Wang Yanchao
The whole story of the dinner: The right to relieve the soldiers with a glass of wine is a famous wine bureau and an important event in history.
In other words, Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, has been worried that his heavily armed men would follow his example since the mutiny in Chen Qiao.
So in 961, Zhao Kuangyin arranged a wine bureau, and called the imperial generals Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and other military commanders to drink.
At the banquet, Zhao Kuangyin kept sighing, and when people asked, they learned that the emperor was worried that they would rebel in the future.
They had to retire to their hometown to enjoy their old age, and accumulated more money and money for their children and grandchildren, and their military power was completely lifted from now on.
in p>969, Zhao Kuangyin called Wang Yanchao, an envoy of our province, for a banquet and relieved them of the military power in the buffer region. This also opened the national system that valued literature over martial arts for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.
Song Taizu's practice has been followed by his later generations. The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces is often a civilian, and the military man is inferior to the literati.
The main purpose of this practice is to prevent mutiny, but in this way, the soldiers do not know the generals, and they will not know the soldiers. Those who can mobilize the army cannot directly lead the troops, and those who can directly lead the troops cannot mobilize the troops.
Although the coup of the army was successfully prevented, the combat capability of the army was greatly weakened. Even the Song Dynasty was defeated in the wars with Liao, Jin and Xixia.
18. The most luxurious dinner in Qianlong's Thousand-year-old Banquet
Attendees: Qianlong and thousands of elders
The whole story of the dinner: The Thousand-year-old Banquet began in Kangxi and flourished in Qianlong's period. It was the grand royal banquet with the largest number of banquets in the Qing Palace. In the fifty-second year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, a grand banquet for thousands of people was held in Yangchun Garden for the first time. Emperor Xuanye gave a poem "A Thousand Feasts", hence the name of the banquet.
fifty years after Qianlong (1785), the four seas were peaceful and the world was rich. Coinciding with the celebration of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong held a grand banquet in Ganqing Palace to show his imperial kindness. The banquet scene is unprecedented.
About 3, old people were invited, including relatives of the royal family, old ministers of previous dynasties, and old people who came to Beijing by imperial edict from the people. Emperor Qianlong personally poured wine for the birthday girl over 9 years old.
At that time, it was the oldest old man, who was said to be 141 years old. Gan Long and Ji Xiaolan also made a pair for the old man, "The flower is reopened, plus the years of March 7; Ancient and rare, there is one more spring and autumn. "
according to the meaning of shanglian, the two jiazi are 12 years old and add 3721, which is exactly 141 years old. The second part is the celebration of the ancient and the rare, two seventies, plus one, which is exactly 141 years old. Absolutely.
The royal style of this wine fair is very different from that of the people. Not only is there a free Manchu-Han banquet carefully prepared by the chef, but all royal tributes and drinks are also free.
At this once-in-a-lifetime banquet, the old people are scrambling to say "thanks to the good policies of the imperial court" while gorging.
It is said that there are not a few old people who faint, fall down with joy, fall down with fullness and get drunk. The grand banquet was called by the literati at that time as "an unprecedented ceremony".
