The image connotation of wine in poetry

The image connotation of wine in poetry is often associated with "worry". Poets are short of talents, but their aspirations are hard to be rewarded, so they often drown their sorrows in wine. The representative poet in this field is Li Bai. For example, his poems, such as Coming into the Wine, Farewell to the Secretary at Xie Tiao Villa in Xuanzhou, and Difficult to Walk, all associate sorrow with wine, and use wine to "sell eternal sorrow" and "sell tall buildings". In addition, wine is a symbol of friendship, and wine is indispensable when close friends are together. Rich people drink sake, poor people drink turbid wine, in short, they will not return until they are drunk. For example, Su Shi swims in Chibi with friends, drinks with friends on the boat and lies in the cabin. When Li Bai and his friends were drinking, "pure wine cost is a gold cup and a pot of ten thousand copper coins", and Du Fu entertained his friends with muddy wine.
