Text/Zhang Qiangqiang, welcome to follow my headline account "Cultural Dim Sum Shop": writing about literati, reading poetry, and telling stories. Here we only talk about things related to literature. Wine occupies a very special place in Chinese culture. status, wine can add to the fun, wine can relieve worries, and wine can also be used to convey feelings between people. In ancient China, there were many famous literati who regarded them as the most sincere friends in their lives, such as Ruan Ji, Jikang and Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty, Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yong, Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, etc. Their articles Fame has always been closely associated with wine. The ancients loved wine and could always turn wine into a feeling. Some people also got some good names related to wine because of their love of drinking, such as Liu Ling, a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties who was a drunkard, and Shi Manqing, one of the three tycoons of the Northern Song Dynasty. The poem I want to share with you today is also a poem related to wine. This poem is Du Fu's original "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking". The poem describes eight celebrities with flamboyant personalities and talents who all love wine as much as their lives. The most wild among them is Li Bai, the master of wine. The Song of the Eight Immortals while Drinking [Tang Dynasty] Du Fu Zhizhang was riding a horse as if riding a boat, and fell into a well and fell asleep under the water. The three battles in Ruyang began to face the sky, and people salivated at the entrance of the road, and they could not move to Jiuquan. The Prime Minister of the Left spends tens of thousands of money every day, drinks like a long whale sucking in hundreds of rivers, holds a cup in his mouth, enjoys the sage and calls him a worldly sage. Zongzhi, a handsome and handsome young man, raised his glass and looked at the blue sky with his white eyes, which was as bright as a jade tree before the wind. Su Jin Changzhai often likes to escape to Zen when he is drunk in front of embroidering Buddha. Li Bai wrote a hundred poems and slept in a restaurant in Chang'an City. The emperor couldn't get on the boat, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal. Zhang Xu takes off his hat and tops his head in front of the prince, swiping paper like clouds of smoke. Jiao Sui fought five battles with Fang Zhuoran, and his eloquent talk shocked the four banquets. This poem was written in 746 AD, the fifth year of Tianbao. Du Fu was 34 years old at the time. He had just arrived in Chang'an, high-spirited and full of hope. Therefore, the whole poem is written optimistically, briskly, and humorously, with very obvious characteristics of Du Fu's poetry in his youth. The poet describes the eight celebrities in the wine scene vividly and appropriately. After reading, one can feel that every character is vividly on the page and ready to appear. The general idea of ??this poem is: He Zhizhang was so drunk that he was swaying like a boat while riding a horse. He was so drunk that he fell into a well and fell asleep directly at the bottom of the well. Li Jing, the king of Ruyang, drank three measures of wine before meeting the emperor every time. On the road, he encountered a cart filled with distilled koji, and the smell of the wine actually made his mouth water. . He even wanted to petition Tang Xuanzong to move his fiefdom to Jiuquan County. Li Shi, the left prime minister, drinks alcohol every day and spends tens of thousands of dollars. He drinks like a giant whale drinking water from hundreds of rivers. He said that he raised his glass and drank freely in order to get away from political affairs and make way for talents; Cui Zongzhi was a handsome and handsome young man. When drinking, he often raised his glass and looked up at the sky. His handsome posture was like a jade tree facing the wind; although Su Jin fasted and ate vegetarian in front of the Buddha, he As long as he drinks, he will completely forget all the rules and precepts; Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about drinking. He often drank in Chang'an City and slept in wine shops after getting drunk. The emperor asked him to write poems, but he refused to get on the boat and claimed that he was a wine god. After Zhang Xu drank three glasses of wine, he could write wonderful cursive script. He did not admire the powerful, and even in front of princes and nobles, he dared to take off his hat and write quickly. His calligraphy was as elegant as clouds and smoke. Although Jiao Sui was a commoner, he could become extraordinary after just five glasses of wine. . These eight celebrities have very different personalities and are all wild and uninhibited characters. What connects them is wine. The characteristic of each of them is that they love drinking, but the way they love drinking is different. Princes and generals have the ways of princes and generals, and romantic talents have the ways of elegant talents. Du Fu's poem is very skillful, because he grasps the characteristics of each of them very accurately, and he can also show the loveliness of the characters in the accuracy. For example, among these 8 people, He Zhizhang is the oldest and should have a more stable personality. But Du Fu wrote about his funny appearance of falling into a well and sleeping soundly after being drunk, which vividly showed his eclectic and broad-minded characteristics; Li Jing, the king of Ruyang, "he hated to seal himself to Jiuquan", and he was the only emperor among the eight people. He was a relative and the favorite nephew of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so he was the only one who had the ability and courage to move the fiefdom. This was also grasped by Du Fu. However, these people were all secondary figures, all for the purpose of highlighting. The central character is Li Bai. Du Fu has always admired Li Bai's talent, so in the poem he portrayed Li Bai as a rebellious, arrogant, and extremely charming "wine fairy". The emperor couldn't get on the boat! In the poet's writing , Li Bai is so cute and straightforward! Who doesn't like this kind of Li Bai? This poem can be said to be Du Fu's original creation. No one has written like this before him. He conveyed these romantic figures to us through a poem. In front of him, he admired and praised the characters described in the poem. In the eyes of Du Fu in his youth, these characters were representatives of the Tang Dynasty.
It also allows us to see what an enlightened and confident Tang Dynasty it was, which is fascinating! (Note: The pictures in this article are all from the Internet. If there is any infringement, please contact the author to delete it)
