Tao Yuanming's seventh drinking (full text)
Autumn chrysanthemums are bright and colorful, including dew and flowers.
Chrysanthemum wine is in the heart, the heart is more beautiful, and the feeling of avoiding customs is deeper.
The wine in the glass waved, and then held the glass.
As the sun sets, birds call to Lin Huan.
Intoxicated in the east window, let this life be this life.
Full-text translation of Seven Books on Drinking by Tao Yuanming:
Autumn chrysanthemum is colorful, dewy, wet and flowery. Chrysanthemums soaked in wine taste more beautiful and have a deeper feeling of avoiding customs. Drink up the wine in the cup with a wave of your hand, and then pour it into the cup with a hip flask. When the sun sets, all beings stop, and the birds return to sing to the forest. Let's indulge in singing and enjoy this life.

Tao Yuanming's twentieth drinking song
Twenty Drinking Poems is a group of five-character poems written by Tao Yuanming, a writer in the late Jin Dynasty and early Song Dynasty. These twenty poems take wine as the theme, expressing the author's feelings and views on history, reality and life, expressing the author's dissatisfaction with reality and love for rural life, and fully demonstrating the author's noble and proud moral sentiment and life interest.
The combination of poetry and wine naturally reveals the deep natural state of life and embodies a unique aesthetic realm.
Tao Yuanming's group poem "Twenty Drinks" is not a masterpiece of drunkenness, but the poet expresses his dissatisfaction with reality and his love for rural life on the topic of drinking, in order to escape persecution through drunkenness in the very sinister environment at that time. In his twentieth poem, he wrote, "But if you hate many fallacies, be lenient with others", which shows his good intentions.
