Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking
From the perspective of "drinking", this poem connects Li Bai, He, Li, Li Zhi, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Zhang Xu and Jiao Sui, who were called "eight immortals in wine" at that time, and forms a vivid group image by tracing back the narrative, refining the language and sketching the characters. This poem rhymes to the end; Don't get up before, don't collect after; Eight people write side by side, and the number of sentences is a little uneven, but two sentences are used in the head, tail and middle waist, and the changes are still coherent: it is a creation in genre. Of these eight people, He is the oldest, so he ranks first. Others follow the official rank, from princes and prime ministers to cloth clothes. The author's description of eight people's drunkenness has its own characteristics, and the drunken state of their life is depicted by cartoon sketch, which fully shows their drinking-addicted character and vividly reproduces the optimistic and open-minded spirit of the literati in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
