China has a profound wine culture, and wine and poetry seem to be inseparable topics. Many literati's works are inseparable from wine, and the poems brewed by wine seem to be more chic, carefree and romantic. Li Bai's "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone", "Entering Wine" and William Wang's "Liangzhou" are celebrated with wine at the wedding reception; When you are frustrated, you can drown your sorrows by drinking. When you want to be the first, wine on your wedding night is essential.
However, in today's society, alcohol seems to be a bad synonym. When drunk driving, promiscuity after drinking and other things emerge one after another, many people stay away from alcohol. Influenced by Confucian classics, China people seem to have forgotten the attitude of gentlemen towards wine: not much, not much.
"Modest gentleman, gentle as jade". Gentleman has always been the ideal personality respected by China people. A gentleman is a symbol of noble character and profound cultivation. Only by drinking can you do things safely.
If you don't drink in moderation, you will become an alcoholic. In ancient Shang Zhouwang, there was a meat forest in a wine pool, which indulged in selfish desires, coveted wine, color and wealth, and was unrestrained, which eventually destroyed Wan Li and led to the change of dynasty. Nowadays, drunk driving accidents are frequent. Because you don't know the golden mean, you have caused many human tragedies and ruined a bright future. There is a limit to everything. Beyond the critical point, you can't bear it. Therefore, drinking should be a gentleman's journey, not too much, and control your desires.
It's a no-no to be rude after drinking. Many people are usually serious, but after drinking, many people show their true colors. This kind of person can't be called a gentleman no matter how he pretends. A gentleman can't drink too much, nor can he drink too much. Buddhism says that greed is folly, doubt is slowness, and it is the first of the five poisons. A person's greed is endless. A real gentleman can control his lust and greed after drinking, otherwise it is common to have sex after drinking, and you must never regret it after a small step. Therefore, in addition to the gentleman's trip, drinking should also have the virtue of being a gentleman, be careful, be unforgettable and act rashly.
Treat people with principles, have a bottom line, be measured, be polite, don't talk nonsense and forget sex. This is a gentleman, and so is a gentleman drinking. "Not too much, not too much." Mr. Zheng hopes that there will be more drinkers in the world.
Zheng Jiushi reminded that drinking "not too much, not too much sex" is the purpose of Zhong Jun's trip. Only by doing things can we have the virtue of a gentleman, and life can be respected and treated with courtesy.
