Wine has a long history in China, which can be traced back to the primitive social form. Many people produce more food than they can eat, so they store it, so wine appears unconsciously. So wine has become an important part of China culture and a catalyst for literati to express their feelings. With the civilization of China people for thousands of years, there are countless poems about wine in Tang poetry. According to impure statistics, there are more than 6,000 poems about wine in Tang poetry, and a large number of poems are written in or after drinking, which is an important factor to promote the creation of Tang poetry. It is also a remarkable cultural phenomenon to indulge in wine and write poems, and Sao poetry is an important cultural landscape of poets in the Tang Dynasty. According to some poems describing wine in Tang poetry, the environment in which wine appeared in Tang poetry can be divided into three parts: First, expressing feelings through wine.
Of course, it is a very common job to drown one's sorrows by drinking. Everyone has an unpleasant job. When the expression is depressed, it seems that alcohol can completely relieve the confusion itself. Of course, this treatment is only temporary. Li Bai has a poem "Drinking the bright moon alone"
A pot of wine from the flowers, I drink it alone. No one is with me.
Alas, the moon cannot drink water, and my shadow follows me blankly; .
But there is still a time when I have these friends, and leisure and entertainment need spring.
I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. My shadow is rolling in the back.
I woke up and had sex, and then I got drunk and we lost each other.
Will goodwill be guaranteed? I think the Milky Way is a long way.
This poem can be described as a typical lyric poem by drinking wine. In poetry, the poet regards wine color as the object of his own questioning. 1 In Shuang Jing, the poet appeared alone with a pot of wine. He could only pick up his feathers and drink with the bright moon. He had no relatives and no reason. In addition, his own shadow in the moonlight will have three objects. I believe that when no one sees the inner essence of the ending,
Wine and the moon are the most faithful companions that Li Bai has never left in his life. Wherever he goes, he always leaves a stirring work about dew and bright moon. Li Bai wants to express his mood through this song. He is talented, ambitious and wants to do something, but he can't get the appreciation and support of the rulers, and he can't find many intimate friends and partners. So he is often surrounded by loneliness, depressed and wandering from poetry. Readers can hear the cries of 65,438+0 lonely souls, which contain protests against the social form of disagreement and hopes for freedom and liberation. That irresistible force is really enough to "make the gods cry"
In the past, when the city sent friends to practice wine, Shiliting had endless thoughts and feelings for each other. Once upon a time, since people couldn't finish a sentence or two, they would replace it with wine and put everything they wanted to say in that glass of wine, so there was a farewell wine poem, and Wang Wei had a poem "Send Yuan Er to Anxi"
Weicheng is drizzling,
The willows near the hotel have turned green again.
I advise you to drink more wine,
There is no reason for people in the west.
Looking at this poem, let's skip the first two sentences and look directly at the last two sentences. "I advise you to make more wine. There is no reason for people to go to the west." It directly wrote the feeling of farewell, and all the emotions were poured into a glass of wine. At this time, the host and guests may have a lot to say to each other, because the farewell period is near and the expression is huge, but they don't know where to start at the moment. Therefore, drinking has become the best way to communicate emotions. Cup after cup, the host always feels as if he is not satisfied. He always suggests that guests have another drink. This natural feeling is written here. It is particularly simple and profound to read. The fourth sentence "There is no cause in the west" closely echoes, which makes this glass of wine have a very heavy weight and is the heart of an old friend.
But let's go back and forth. Why were there so many farewell poems in the Tang Dynasty? Why are there such deep feelings in these farewell poems? In fact, it depends on the development of the Tang dynasty, which shows that the Tang dynasty has a strong national strength and unprecedented foreign exchanges. Therefore, people often go out from Yangguan in the west, or go to preach, or do business in Yangguan and go west, facing exotic mountains and rivers, different customs and different languages, and enter a barren desert. Therefore, people who will leave Yangguan will always be infinitely desolate, and naturally feel the same way when they come to see relatives and friends in Fujian.
The ancient wars were fierce and cold, and so was the ancient military service system. Up to now, no one 1 wants to fight, because as long as you fight, you will die. Who dares ask? It is useless to say that this is fearless, but it is inner fear. From this point of view, the same is true of people in the Tang Dynasty. They may not come back after the war, so this is also a very bleak job. William Wang has a poem Liangzhou Ci.
Pu Tao nectar luminous cup,
I want to drink stringed instruments right away.
Drunk in the sand, you don't laugh,
Since ancient times, how many people have returned from distant battles?
This poem is magnificent and powerful, and it can be called a masterpiece of frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The first two sentences say that the general returned to camp after the war, held a wine to celebrate, and the strings of stringed instruments were short, prompting people to go out. Pu Tao wine, luminous cups and stringed instruments all have rich frontier colors and glamorous life features, and the poet's fake wine sets off the unique flavor of the military camp outside the Great Wall. At the beginning, the reader was introduced into the tense and lively atmosphere of the ancient battlefield outside the Great Wall, and the soldiers were inspired with nectar, jade cups and stringed instruments. Therefore, the last two sentences of the poem turned to love: Don't laugh at the soldiers lying drunk in the vast battlefield. How many people have fought in the border court since ancient times? Although the phrase "ancient times" exaggerates the fierceness and cruelty of the border war, the tone of the poem is still majestic. It not only shows the open-minded and philosophical character of welcoming soldiers, but also expresses their open-minded attitude towards life and death. His "Liangzhou Ci" has a strong romantic flavor, which poeticizes the life in the northwest frontier and shows a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
As can be seen from the above explanation, wine has a profound cultural heritage in China. It is not only a catalyst for literati, but also a catalyst for soldiers fighting in Haosha, or it can be said that soldiers fighting in Haosha can also drink and be courageous. At the same time, it is this wine culture that has a long history in literary works and has influenced the history of China for thousands of years. Until now, this is also the case. Literati and poets regard wine asking for the moon as very ordinary.
