"Traveling with Tang Poems", drinking Taibai with Li Bai

Recently, CCTV-9's five-episode documentary "Traveling with Tang Poems", which can be called the most luxurious travel in the world, came to a perfect conclusion. The film uses five great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei and Cen Shen, as tour guides, and is accompanied by contemporary poet Xi Chuan, calligrapher Lu Dadong, scholars Li Bo and Yang Yu, writer Han Songluo and others. The CCTV crew was divided into five groups, interviewed 64 experts and scholars, and surveyed 58 filming locations, covering more than ten provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions including Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Chongqing, Hunan, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. Retracing the path taken by the ancients, re-climbing the mountains climbed by the ancients, exploring the origin of Tang poetry, and adding a new experience of poetic life.

Among these many scenery, the majesty and unique humanities of Taibai Mountain left a deep impression on everyone. Han Songluo, a contemporary writer who followed Li Bai's footsteps, said: "Tang poetry is just an introduction, life is the most vivid content."

Hush, the magical Taibai Mountain

"The wind can't scream The wind is called Weiwei; the rain cannot be called rain, it is called rustling."

Mei County is backed by Taibai Mountain. It has a good ecology and honest folk customs. It is also a cultural hot spot. There is Taibaijiu, a famous historical and cultural wine, and there is also a local writer Hu Yunbo who once wrote "Ode to Taibaijiu".

Han Songluo took advantage of the rainy day to visit Hu Yunbo, a local writer in Xiamei County, Taibai Mountain. The rain was gurgling outside the window, and friends inside the house were having a long chat. Hu Yunbo, who knows Taibai culture well, told the audience interesting stories about Taibai Mountain. The older generation taught not to speak loudly in the mountains, and "wind can't be called wind, it's Weiwei; rain can't be called rain, it's called rustle". The unsophisticated older generation were afraid of disturbing the wind and rain on the mountain by calling them by their first names, so they used the dialect words "Weiwei" and "Shasha" to refer to the mountain. The unpredictable Taibai Mountain has therefore become a bit more magical. .

"My mother-in-law, my god, such a high mountain is so high!" At the foot of Taibai Mountain, Hu Yunbo explained and recited Li Bai's poems in Shaanxi dialect The poems written in Taibai Mountain have a unique charm that makes people wonder whether Li Bai was like this back then.

Look, Li Bai’s splashing ink place

“Li Taibai is bold and unrestrained, Taibai Mountain is also romantic.”

Now there is a splashing ink mountain in the Taibai Mountain Scenic Area. It is named after Li Bai. Pomo Mountain is 1,400 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and adjacent to water, with pleasant scenery. It is said that Li Bai passed by here and was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of nature. While drinking Taibai wine, he squandered it as much as he wanted. Finally, taking advantage of the alcohol, he threw the remaining ink in the inkstone onto the mountain facing him, forming the Splashed Ink Mountain with dripping ink marks through the ages. When you are here, in addition to the magical scenery, you can smell the mellow aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of ink, as if the aftertaste is still there.

Pomo Mountain

In Mei County at the foot of Taibai Mountain, the mellow and sweet Taibai wine has been brewed here for generations. Not only Li Taibai was attracted by it, but also Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty at the same time. At that time, Emperor Taizong came to Taibai Mountain to escape the summer heat. After drinking the Taibai wine, he praised it greatly. Wang Gui, the Minister of History (now a native of Mei County), happily wrote a poem and said: "The fragrance is ten miles away, and the taste is long after one night. How can I get this liquid?" "Henghan Snowflake Pulp" shows the mellow aroma of Taibai wine and the beauty of Taibai landscape.

Sigh, Taibai and I said

"Perhaps it is the spiritual unity, or perhaps it is the freedom and ease accompanied by Taibai wine."

It is said that Li Bai was born in Suiye City in the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from Chang'an City. This "relegated immortal" wandered around the world, traveled through the great mountains and rivers, and wrote "If you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden bottle be empty." Moon" golden phrase.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, had already been named. Li Bai visited Taibai Mountain for the first time and wrote the famous poem "The Road to Shu is Difficult" based on the local specialty Taibai wine. "There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei." Li Bai's poetic style has many similarities with the vastness and vastness of Taibai Mountain. Perhaps it is a spiritual fit, or perhaps it is the freedom and ease accompanied by Taibai wine here. He has traveled to Taibai Mountain several times, and every time he visits His thoughts surged forth like a spring, and he left behind many masterpieces and masterpieces, such as "The Road to Shu is Difficult", "Drinking Alone under the Moon", "Climbing Taibai Peak", etc., all of which were inspired by the experience in Taibai Mountain.

From the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the present, as the years go by, people always remember that the highest famous mountain east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau made Li Taibai splash ink, get drunk on the rocks, ride on the wind and clouds, and raise his hands for nearly a month· ·····This is the romance of the poet and the luck of Taibai Restaurant.

Zhang Hailong, literary coordinator of the documentary "Traveling with Tang Poetry" said, "In fact, poetry has never left us. I once calculated that if a Chinese completes primary school and high school, then I have learned at least 200 poems in textbooks. Today’s first-grade primary school textbooks also include ancient poems. There are more than 100 ancient poems in the 12 Chinese volumes in the entire six-year primary school. This kind of Chinese teaching is unique to us in the world.

How lucky that thousands of years later, the poetry of poets such as Li Taibai is still flowing in the blood of the Chinese people, Taibai Mountain still stands majestically in the Qinling Mountains, and Taibai wine is still produced and brewed under Taibai Mountain. Chen Xiang.
