Wine culture in ancient poetry
China is a country of brewing and drinking, and also a country of writing and reciting poems. A long time ago, poetry and wine formed an indissoluble bond. China's wine originated from the ancient agricultural society; China's original poems were also produced in this period. There are 44 poems related to wine in China's first poetry collection "The Book of Songs", such as "Spring wine is for this purpose, attracting eyebrows to live longer", "Imperial guests, drinking at their discretion", "A gentleman can offer wine at his discretion" and "I have the purpose of drinking, so I can treat guests with the heart of Le Yan". It can be seen that wine is an "angel" in social banquets, and it can be called a good medium to convey one's mind when flowers are blooming and congratulations are given. "When you sing, ask for your friendly voice", "Yo yo Luming Literature, wild apples", "A gentleman has wine and many purposes".
Before Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although wine had accumulated some emotional factors, it was still only sung into poetry as one of the creative materials. Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin, drank heavily and sang "Xiao Shui". Liu Bangfu decided the world and gave a banquet to sing "Gale"; Cao Cao fought against Chibi and gave wine songs. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, alcohol only stimulated emotions. Until Ruan Ji and Ji Kang in Wei and Jin Dynasties, "wine is still wine, and poetry is self-poetry", there was no inevitable internal relationship between them. Tao Yuanming is the first poet who consciously clings to wine, and gives wine a unique symbolic meaning in his poems. The accusation of forgetting things is his invention. Tao Yuanming (365 ~ 427) was a great poet who was latent, bright, lofty and clean in the Middle Ages. Among its existing 174 poems, 56 are about drinking, accounting for about 40%! The combination of poetry and wine is not only a story in the history of literature, but also an unchanging tradition of wine culture. This tradition began with Tao Yuanming's "sending wine as a trace", which had a far-reaching potential impact on later literati's spiritual feelings, social life and drinking poems.
