The origin of "wave a hair": "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty: "Zhang Xu, the three-cup grass sage, took off his hat and revealed his head in front of the prince, waving a hair The fallen paper is like clouds of smoke."

Translation: Zhang Xu drank three glasses of wine and then wrote a book. He was called the Cao Sheng at that time. He often took off his hat and uncovered his head in front of the princes and nobles, writing quickly with his pen. If he received divine help, his writing would fall on the paper like clouds and smoke.

Other poems that use the word "wave" include: "Chaozhongcuo·Pingshantang" by Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty.

Original text of the poem:

The sill of the flat mountain leans against the clear sky, and the mountain scenery is mixed. Weeping willows in front of the hall are planted by hand. How many spring breezes are there?

The governor of articles writes thousands of words and drinks a thousand bells at a time. You must be young to have fun, and you must look forward to the old man who is in decline.

Poetry translation:

Beyond the railing of Pingshan Hall is a clear sky, and the distant mountains seem to be there or not, and it is all misty. It has been several years since I left the willow tree I planted in front of the hall. As a prefect who loves to write articles, I can write thousands of words and drink a thousand cups of wine. Young people, let's have fun now. Look at me, I'm still drinking and having fun, but I'm still as passionate as ever.
