"Poetry and wine" have not been separated since ancient times. In the vast Chinese traditional cultural classics, the predecessors have left many masterpieces about wine. The opening line of Cao Cao's "Dan Ge Xing" sung: "Singing over wine, life is like dew in the morning, and there will be many hardships in the passing days." Here, wine is used as an object to relieve sorrow, and people use wine to relieve sorrow. Therefore, "Dan Ge Xing" also sang: "Why can only Du Kang relieve worries?" Who is "Dukang"? Du Kang is the legendary winemaker ancestor. This refers to wine. "Dan Ge Xing" clearly points out that wine can relieve sorrow. In later poetry, drinking was often used to refer to relieving sorrow. But as Li Bai said, "If you cut off the water with a knife, the water will flow again; if you raise a glass to relieve the sorrow, the sorrow will become more sorrowful." Even so, the poet Li Bai never left wine in his life. "Invite the bright moon to the moon, and make three people by facing the shadow." When he was happy, Li Bai would sing, "If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle be empty to face the moon." In poetic moments, when Du Fu is mixed with sorrow at home and country Will sing: "Hard and bitter, I hate the frost on my temples, and my wine glass becomes muddy when I am depressed." I was thinking of drinking a glass of wine to relieve my current sadness. But because of my illness, I just gave up drinking.
Of course, except for drinking to drown the sorrows. Wine also has many other rich connotations. "Three glasses of light wine and two glasses of light wine are no match for the strong wind that comes late at night." I originally thought of drinking a few glasses of light wine to warm up, but the wind was too strong and the weather was too cold. Alcohol doesn't help. Tao Yuanming's "Returning and Coming" said: "When a child waits at the door, there is wine in the bottle." Wine is indispensable when friends get together. In Su Shi's "Red Cliff Ode", "I drank wine as a guest, recited the poem about the bright moon, and sang a graceful chapter." "So I was very happy drinking, so I leaned against the boat and sang." This is Su Shi's own emotion expressed after he was happy after drinking. . Similarly, the same is true in the famous "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia", "Life is like a dream, a bottle of wine returns the moonlight over the river", which expresses the broad-mindedness of one's life through wine.
In short, "poetry" and "wine" have been inextricably linked since ancient times. The above only lists some examples, and more examples await us to further explore.
