1. Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, "Traveling while Guesting/Writing while Guesting"
Excerpt from the original text:
Lanling has fine wine and tulips, and jade bowls hold amber light.
But the host can make the guests drunk, and they don’t know where they are in a foreign country.
Vernacular interpretation:
Lanling jelly is sweet and mellow, just like the fragrance of tulips. Xinglai filled the jade bowl, glowing with amber light and crystal clear and charming. The host will bring out fine wines that will surely make the guests from a foreign land drunk. How can you tell when you are drunk and where is your hometown?
2. Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty "I will drink wine without you seeing me"
Excerpt from the original text:
If you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, and do not let the golden bottle empty to the moon .
I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent.
It is fun to cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.
Vernacular interpretation:
When you are proud of your life, you should indulge in joy and don't let this golden cup face the bright moon empty without wine. Everyone's birth must have its own value and meaning. Even if a thousand taels of gold are used up in one wave, it can still be obtained again. We cook sheep and slaughter cows for fun, and drinking three hundred cups at once (today) is not too much!
3. Tang Dynasty Lang Shiyuan's "Send Li Yuanzhou Sangluojiu"
Excerpts from the original text:
The color is more tender than wine, and the fragrance is still spring like nectar. .
Ten thousand people carry one bucket to send old friends from Xiaoxiang far away.
Vernacular interpretation:
The color of the wine is clearer than the drink of the immortals, and the aroma of the wine is as intoxicating as the sweet dew. It takes ten thousand gold to buy a bucket and give it to an old friend far away in Xiaoxiang.
4. "Four Poems on a Young Man's Journey" by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
Ten thousand wines are exchanged in Xinfeng, and Xianyang has been a ranger for many years.
When we meet, we drink for you with our spirit. We tie our horses to the weeping willows of tall buildings.
At the end of the banquet, the emperor and his ministers of the Han family discussed their military exploits on the cloud platform.
The emperor Linxuan bestowed the seal on the marquis, and the general wore it from the Mingguang Palace.
Vernacular interpretation:
A bucket of Xinfeng wine is worth ten thousand yuan, and most of the rangers who haunt Wuling are teenagers. When they met, they were in harmony with each other and had a drink with each other. The horse was tied to the willow tree under the restaurant. The grand banquet for the emperor and his ministers to celebrate their military successes came to an end, and they sat high on the cloud platform to talk about their military exploits. The emperor personally came to the palace railing to give the seals to the princes, and the general walked out of the Mingguang Palace wearing the seal ribbon.
5. "Drinking" by Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty
Excerpts from the original text:
I am less happy this evening, and I will sit up and be pure.
Put a glass of wine in front of me to drive away my worries.
For a moment, my mind felt different, and I suddenly felt that the world was in chaos.
The mountains have become dark and dark, and the green water is warm.
How numerous are the trees at Nanguo Gate.
The clear yin can protect itself, and I hear good words in the evening.
I am completely drunk and have no more words to say. I lie down with the fragrance of the sun.
It is true that Jin and Chu are rich, but this way may not exist.
Vernacular meaning:
When I woke up early in the morning, I felt a lack of interest and got up from my seat to open a bottle of sake. First, I raise a glass to worship the founder of wine-making, who left the wine for me to drive away my sorrow and boredom. Suddenly I felt something very different, and I suddenly felt that the world was bustling with activity. The rolling mountains have changed the original darkness, and the green flowing water has enveloped the warm atmosphere.
The area outside the south gate city is lush and green, with tall trees with lush leaves and branches. The cool shade of the trees can protect you, and you can chat under the trees all day long. Even if we are drunk, don't refuse, the beautiful grass can provide us with a place to lie down.
Even those who are richer than Jin Chu may not know the joy of drinking?
