Question 1: What does flowing wine mean? The flow of flowing water comes from Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
The so-called "flowing wine cup" refers to choosing an elegant and secluded place, where literati and poets sit in an orderly manner beside the gurgling meandering water. One person places a cup filled with wine upstream and lets it flow downstream. Next, when the wine glass is stopped in front of someone, he takes it and drinks it. Then he takes advantage of being slightly drunk, whistling or cheering, and composes a poem. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, literati liked to follow the ancient customs, drinking and having fun all day long, indulging in the mountains and rivers, relaxing in the old village, wandering around in calligraphy, and doing things like drinking wine and drinking water. This kind of elegant drinking order, which is like "spring and white snow", is not only a means of punishing people with drinking alcohol, but also makes it extraordinary because of the participation in elegant and elegant spiritual activities such as writing poems. The most famous one was the Orchid Pavilion Cultivation Conference on March 3, the ninth year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty. The great calligrapher Wang Xizhi and 41 celebrities of the time gathered in the Orchid Pavilion of Shanyin in Kuaiji to express their sentiments, express their feelings, and compile a collection of poems. Wang Xizhi took advantage of his drunken pen and wrote the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" which will be passed down through the ages. Of course, there are also people who simplify this and only drink wine without writing poetry.
Liushang Qushui, also known as Liubei Qushui or Qushui Shang, is a drinking and banquet custom during the Shangsi Festival in the old days. The general method is that people sit around the winding canal and drink special The wine glass (mostly light lacquerware) is placed upstream and allowed to float slowly along the twists and turns of the water. Whoever the wine glass floats to will drink from it. Repeat this cycle until you are satisfied. Literati developed this custom into an elegant gathering of celebrities - whoever stopped in front of the wine glass had to write a poem. The fun was similar to today's drumming, passing flowers or throwing handkerchiefs. On the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi and more than 40 people, including famous scholars Xie An and Sun Chuo, gathered at Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, Zhejiang (today's Shaoxing) to perform the play of flowing wine and flowing water. It is said that there is another clear stream. The turbulence is reflected in the left and right directions, which makes it look like flowing water. Sitting next to each other, although there is no grandeur of silk and bamboo orchestral music, one drink and one chant are enough to express the quiet feelings. These chants were compiled into the "Orchid Pavilion Collection", with a preface by Wang Xizhi, and became a treasure in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
Question 2: What does "Qu Shui Liu Shang" mean? Qushui Shang, also known as Liubei Qushui or Qushui Shang, is a drinking and banquet custom during the Shangsi Festival in the old days. The general method is that people sit around the winding canal and drink special wine glasses (mostly wine glasses). Lacquerware with a very light texture) is placed upstream and allowed to float slowly along the twists and turns of the current. Whoever the wine glass floats to will drink from it. Repeat this cycle until you are satisfied. Literati developed this custom into an elegant gathering of celebrities - whoever stopped in front of the wine glass had to write a poem. The fun was similar to today's drumming, passing flowers or throwing handkerchiefs. On the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi and more than 40 people, including famous scholars Xie An and Sun Chuo, gathered at Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, Zhejiang (today's Shaoxing) to perform the play of flowing wine and flowing water. It is said that there is another clear stream. The turbulence is reflected in the left and right directions, which makes it look like flowing water. Sitting next to each other, although there is no grandeur of silk and bamboo orchestral music, one drink and one chant are enough to express the quiet feelings. These chants were compiled into the "Orchid Pavilion Collection", with a preface by Wang Xizhi, and became a treasure in the history of Chinese calligraphy. According to records, the aftertaste of elegant things like Shangsi Qushui spread until the 1940s; and landscapes such as the Han Shang Pavilion and the Liubei Pavilion can still be seen in the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing. , but they are all miniature landscapes with twists and turns on the stone base. They are no different from Wang Xizhi's paintings of high mountains, lush forests and bamboos; there are also clear streams and rapids, reflecting the interest of nature. When did the custom of drinking wine in the winding water form? Does it have any specific cultural implications? This issue has been debated for more than 1,700 years. It is said that this custom originated in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. According to Liang Wujun's "Xu Qi Xie Ji" in the Southern Dynasties: In the past, Zhou Gongbu City was in Luoyi, because the flowing water was used to flood the wine, so Yi's "Poetry" said, "The wine glass follows the flowing waves". During the Warring States Period, King Zhao of Qin followed this ancient custom and placed a wine shop in the meander of the river on the third day of the third lunar month. Suddenly, a Jin man came out from the east and offered water and a sword to him. After the Qin Dynasty came to dominate the princes, they built the Qushui Temple here. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and built the Qujiang Pool with a circumference of six miles and a meandering water flow for the royal nobles to drink Qujiang wine. In the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Furong Garden, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Qujiang. It was renovated and expanded. The pool has a radius of seven miles, and pavilions, terraces, and gardens are connected one after another, making it a major scenic spot in Kyoto.
There are many descriptions of flying cups on winding water in Tang Dynasty poems, all of which use this as the background. It is said that this custom originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Sancai Tu Hui? Shi Lei? Shangsi" quotes "Shi Jie Lu" as saying: In the past, when King You of Zhou Dynasty died, all the ministers were worried about it, so they set up a banquet on the river at that time. The mood is quite similar to the weeping scene in Xinting in "Shishuoxinyu·Yu". It is said that this custom originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Continuation of the Book of Han? Chronicles of Etiquette" is written by Liu Zhao on the first day of the month: One theory says that there was a man named Guo Yu in the later Han Dynasty who gave birth to two daughters on the first day of the third month and was infertile on the second day. It was considered a big taboo, and the family was tabooed on the first day of the month. , they all prayed for rice on the east flowing water and washed themselves, which is called the temple of evil spirits. It leads to the flow of wine and becomes Qushui. Liu Zhao quoted this legend and refuted it: Guo Yu's theory is that good things are false. If a common man dies of his second daughter within ten years, why is this custom so shocking that it is called a taboo? Coincidentally, there are similar stories in books such as "Book of Songs? Li Zhi" and "Xu Qi Xie Ji" by Liang Wujun of the Southern Dynasties. Briefly speaking, during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Zhao, a native of Pingyuan, gave birth to triplet girls in early March, and they all died on March 3. People in a village felt strange about it, and from then on, they all went to the waterside to wash themselves on this day, so the water originated from this place, and the two meanings of "Qushui" originated from this place. It can be seen that similar stories have been widely circulated at least in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties. Some people think it reflects the ancient people's superstitious concept that the third day of March was an evil day, and even twin girls were regarded as ominous. Therefore, the original meaning of the meandering water cup is to ward off evil spirits. It is said that this custom should be the so-called month of spring in the "Book of Rites? Yue Ling"...The emperor began to ride a boat, which means that Cai Yong's "Zhangju" took a boat to the Mingchuan River. In other words, the wine glass in the winding water drinking cup style is a symbol of the boat. But what's the point of taking a boat? It's unclear. There is another saying, citing Zhang Xie's "Yu Fu..." in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Question 3: What is the meaning of "Liu Shang Qushui"? Qushui Liu Shang is a game popular in ancient China. In the third month of the lunar calendar, after people hold a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits, everyone sits on both sides of the river and places wine glasses upstream. This kind of game is very ancient. There is a poem saying: "The wine cup follows the waves."
Question 4: What does "Qu Shui Liu Shang" mean? The most important thing is to dress up beautifully or be handsome! So as not to scare the other person! ^_^ The most immediate feeling when meeting for the first time is appearance! Because you don’t know what type of stuff the other person likes, it doesn’t matter whether you send it or not!
