A suggestion for my friend Liu.
Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty
Original text:
There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove.
With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine?
Translation:
My newly brewed rice wine has not been filtered, and there is a layer of green bubbles on the surface of the wine, which smells good. A small red mud stove for scalding wine is also ready. It's cloudy. It seems to snow at night. Can you stay and have a drink with me?

The creative background of a suggestion for my friend Liu;
A suggestion for a friend Liu was written by Bai Juyi when he lived in Luoyang in his later years. "It snows at dusk and he misses his old friends." Liu Shijiu was a friend of the author when he was in Jiangzhou, and the author wrote a song "Liu Shijiu Sleeps Together", saying that he was Chu Shi of Songyang. Some people think that this poem was written in the twelfth year of Yuanhe (8 17), but the poet is Sima in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), so it is impossible to invite Luoyang's old friends to drink.
