Of course, this has a lot to do with the social and economic development of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also dependent on the development of Tang poetry itself, but the main reason is that the traditional wine culture itself has been continuously developed and matured, and Tang poetry has inherited and carried forward the historical origin and excellent tradition of wine culture and poetry, which will inevitably lead to a brilliant artistic peak of wine poetry.
Then, what vivid drinking scenes can we see in the poems of poets in the Tang Dynasty?
First of all, wine for the banquet
Banquet is a relatively relaxed moment, usually a festive day or a gathering of friends. At this moment, people's heads are shaking and people are clamoring for five cups and six cups. Wine is an essential stimulant for a banquet.
Let's look at Li Bai's Preface to the Spring Banquet of Brother Taoliyuan. "If you have Qiong Yan, you will sit on the moon. If there is no good chanting, why stretch your arms? " If the poem fails, it will be punished according to the number of wines in Jingu. "Zhang Ji's Spring Night Huangfuranzhai Banquet" "See you when you are wandering, and you will be happy and sad at this time. Xing is a toast, and it is light for the old friend. ".Cen Can's" Liangzhou Pavilion and the Judge's Night Talk ""You can laugh several times in life, and you will get drunk when you meet in a beer fight ". Li Shimin's Ten Poems of the Imperial Capital has its eighth part: "Happiness is hard to meet again, but it's a pity that the fragrance dies. "Jade wine clouds, green food Chen Qi. Thousands of bells are harmonious, and all animals are harmonious. Be ambitious, but forget about it. "
Second, farewell dinner wine
Farewell, friends not only tell beautiful memories, but also full of longing for the future, continuous sadness and sincere wishes, all of which are left at the farewell banquet. Pour all parting feelings into thick wine, friends, friends, let's raise our glasses and wish you a good journey; Let's get drunk today. I don't know when we can meet again. ...
For example, Wang Wei's "Send Yuan II to An Xi", "Weicheng is rainy and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow. I advise you to drink more wine. It makes no sense to go to Yangguan in the west. " Li Bai's "Parting Nanjing Restaurant" "A gust of wind came and brought catkins, which made the shop more fragrant. Wu Ji advised customers to taste it with wine. Comrades in my city came here to see me off. When each of them drank his glass, I said to him. Oh, ask this river flowing eastward, whether it can go further than the love of friends! ? "Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip" "That night, I was seeing guests off on the Xunyang River, and maple leaves and rushes rustled in autumn. I, the host, have dismounted, my guest has boarded his boat, and we raise our cups, hoping to drink-but, alas, there is no music. Although we drank wine, we were not happy. We were breaking up when the river mysteriously widened towards the full moon. " Jia Zhi's "Send Assistant Minister Li into Changzhou" "Today will be drunk, and the Ming Dynasty will remember each other."
Send yuan twenty-one Xi
Third, traditional festival wine.
Traditional festivals in ancient China, such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival, are often times when people miss their families more on holidays. In traditional festivals, poets naturally drink and relax.
For example, Bai Juyi's "Happy New Year Singing" "White beard as snow, five courtiers, has been in Xinzheng for 70 days. Old enough to take his blue-tailed wine, you can get your head and body after illness. Fortunately, I am old. Riding a bamboo horse in the New Year, several people have to see Changchun. " "Qingming Festival" by Du Mu During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? Shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village. "Lu's" Journey to Xuanwu Mountain on September 9 ""Drinking Jinhua wine in a foreign country, Wan Li is worried about the wild. " Meng Haoran's "Deng Ji Wan Shan sends Zhang Wu" "I hope you will pick me up and bring a basket of wine to get drunk on the Double Ninth Festival." Han Yu presented Zhang Gongzeng on the evening of August 15th. Tonight is the loveliest moon of the year, and life is not up to him. But, to reject this wine, can we choose more tomorrow? ! "
Fourth, a person drinks, drinks casually and drinks wine.
Poets are sometimes free, drinking a glass of wine alone, expressing their feelings about life, or being radical and generous, encouraging people to start again and forge ahead; Or lament that career is frustrated, talents are not obtained, beautiful women are missed, life is bumpy, and people are in a state of hesitation and pain in contradiction, depression and anxiety. They express their feelings with wine and become masterpieces through the ages.
For example, Wang Ji's Eating Out "Why do you wake up alone when you see people drunk", and Li Shimin's Fu Shangshu "Chilled to see the meat forest, but flew to see the indulgence. Indulge in ignorance, self-denial is clear and fresh. Destroy the body and destroy the wealth, accumulate good and become famous. Since I inherited a hundred kings, I have trembled with age. " Meng Haoran's Passing through the Old Village, We Overlook the Garden Field through the Window and Raise a Glass to Talk about Sang Ma, and Li Bai's Drinking the Bright Moon Alone, from a pot of wine among the flowers I Drink Alone. No one is with me. Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people. Three cups lead to the avenue, and a fight is natural. But if you are drunk and have fun, don't pass it on to the awakened one. "The cost price of pure wine in Li Bai's It's Hard to Walk is a gold cup, 10,000 copper coins and a hip flask. Yu Panzhen is ashamed of 10,000 yuan ... One day, I will ride the wind and waves and sail straight across the deep sea. "Du Fu's Poem for Yourself" "Drunk is a guest, and poetry becomes a god. "Luo Yin's remorse", "Drink today, get drunk tomorrow", and Wei Zhuang's "Condemn Xing", "If you mess around, you will know the wine saint, and if you are poor, you will feel the god of wealth".
Drink the moon alone.
Five, frontier fortress, military wine
There are not many frontier wine poems, only William Wang's Liangzhou Ci is the most beautiful. "Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately rush. Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several wars in ancient times. " This poem is tragic and vigorous, expressing the tragic and passionate feelings of those who are dying. Others, such as Xin Li's "The Next Song", "Golden shining blows snow, iron horse hisses. Drinking grapes under the account is a lifelong concern. Bao Fang's "Miscellaneous Feeling" seems to be related to the frontier fortress. " The Han family is safe for a long time, and all the kings in the world kowtow. Tianma often holds purple flowers, and Hu people offer wine at the age of three. ",often when the army drunk, send Shen Ying" "wine thirsty love Qingjiang, Yu Han wash night pavilion. Soft satay sat tight, and the cold waiter woke up drunk. Picnics are accompanied by accounts, and Huayin is happy. Several cups are gone and buried. " (To be continued)
