Purchasing wine for nine days
[Author] Song Qi ? [Dynasty] Song Dynasty
In the late autumn and good morning, the things are rich, and the high platform is full of bamboos and bamboo sticks.
Let the hat fall in front of the wind when enjoying the joy, and promote drinking and fight for the wine to bloom.
The stream is clear after the first rain, and the sun marks are light but not cloudy.
The white-headed prefect is so stupid that he plants dogwood all over his house to ward off evil spirits.

Chen Yan, a recent scholar, said: "Climb high for nine days without any emotion. It seems to be the only one." ("The Essence of Song Poems") commented very well.
The first couplet of the poem breaks the title. The starting and ending points make the festival clear, and the tone is high. The gorgeous things and the pleasant autumn colors make the poet fascinated. The word "heavy" reveals the poet's lingering mood and leads the whole poem. Writing about the autumn morning in the same way, "the clouds are desolate and the dawn is flowing, and the palaces of the Han Dynasty are moving in high autumn" (Zhao Gu's "Autumn View of Chang'an"), and there is a sadness of seeing off the autumn; "The white wild geese flying to the south are about to frost, the wind and rain are rustling and the Double Ninth Festival" (Lu Yuan's "Chongjiu"), there is a feeling of nostalgia for the country. However, Song Qi's sentence does not express sadness, but has a new attitude. This is also due to the poet's situation and temperament.
The second sentence is introduced by the word "heavy". "The high platform is full of magnanimity and magnificence." It is a "high platform", a "reply account", and a "ringing eggplant". The scene is magnificent, the atmosphere is warm, and it is as vivid as a painting. This is by no means a common people's climb, but a scene of wealthy people enjoying the autumn. The poet achieved great success at a young age and became prominent throughout his life. He successively served as a Zhizhigao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. In his later years, he was informed of the Chengdu Prefecture. There is a line about "White-headed Prefect" in this poem, which should have been written in Chengdu in his later years.
The chin couplet follows the above, describing the good day and the meeting, with a vivid image. The first sentence and the couplet describe two scenes: climbing and drinking. The words "joy" and "drink" express the grand occasion of being full of guests and drinking wine. "Let the wind fall before the hat" is a useful allusion. "Book of Jin·Biography of Meng Jia": "Meng Jia joined the army for Huan Wen, and he traveled to Longshan for nine days. When the wind came, he blew his hat, and Wen ordered Sun Sheng to mock him." The ancients regarded this matter as a romantic event, and Du Fu once went against his wishes. It is used as: "I am ashamed to blow my short hair back, but others are smiling and beautiful." ("Cui's Village in Lantian in Nine Days") was highly appreciated by the people of the Song Dynasty. Song Qi also opposed Du's poems. One uses "shame" and the other uses "live"; one is depressed and the other is free and easy. It shows that the mood is different and the poetic state is also different. "Strive to blow wine and bring flowers" means competing to drink chrysanthemum wine. Climbing mountains and drinking chrysanthemum wine during the Double Ninth Festival has been a traditional and elegant event since ancient times. The words "Ren Luo" and "Zheng Chui" are opposite to each other. The poet is in full excitement.
The neck couplet is turned around, and it is written in the language of scenery, describing what it saw while climbing the mountain. The poet put his wine in the wind and wandered around, seeing only the sky above and below, which was clear and bright. "The stream is clear and clear after the first rain, and the sun marks are light and not cloudy." After a lot of autumn rain, the sky is clear and the autumn appearance is light. The second sentence has a broad realm and a magnificent atmosphere. The characters "Ming" and "Qing" express the characteristics of the autumn morning. Its artistic conception is somewhat similar to Han Qi's "Although the autumn appearance of the old garden is pale, it is also fragrant with the late festival of yellow flowers" ("Nine Days Water Pavilion"). Qi of the Song Dynasty compiled Tang Shu for more than ten years. In his later years, he "miweijinjing" ("Summary of the General Catalog of Sikuquanshu"). He was "erudite and able to write articles, with abundant talents. He loved to entertain and enjoy himself in being reserved. In his later years, he got to know Chengdu Prefecture and took the "Book of Tang" to be published and revised at this time... Viewers from far and near all know that Shangshu revised the Book of Tang. "What an immortal." ("Dongxuan Notes") The realm of this poem is related to his positive attitude towards life.
The final couplet is full of writing power, becoming more and more exciting, and ends with a joyful mood and vivid image. The sentence "The White-headed Prefect is really stupid" is humorous and is a self-portrait of the poet, both in form and spirit. The word "stupid" is self-deprecating on the surface, but in reality it is reserved. "Baitou Taishou" not only depicts the poet's distinctive appearance, but also shows the poet's identity as a Taishou. It means that "buying wine for nine days" is not an ordinary climb, but a prefect's banquet. An aura of wealth and nobility emanates from it, echoing the first couplet. The concluding sentence "Manjia" provides a footnote for "Foolishness". The ancients had the custom of climbing up to a high place and planting dogwood trees to suppress evil spirits. "Xu Qixie Ji": "Fei Changfang ordered Huan Jing to pack dogwood on September 9th and climb high to avoid disaster." The poet used the exaggerated brushwork of "full of dogwood" to describe his wild and cheerful body. Du Mu had "chrysanthemums" The sentence "I must put all my hair in my head and return home" ("Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days") is a pretense of broad-minded speech and a forced smile; Du Fu's poem "Cui Shizhuang in Lantian in Nine Days" also ends with dogwood, "Drunken and carefully grasping the dogwood "Look" is a poignant word, expressing the sadness of a lost life. The reason why Song Qi's sentence is different is that his life experiences are different.
This poem is elegant and fluent, and is skillfully written, especially the last couplet, which adds a comic atmosphere to the whole poem and a strong sense of life. It was a good time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and enjoy the things. The poet took the opportunity to turn it into a poem and wrote this interesting work. Introduction to Song Qi, the author of "Nine Days of Wine"
Song Qi (998-1061) was a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zi Jing, born in Anlu, Anzhou (now Anlu, Hubei), later moved to Yongqiu, Kaifeng (now Qixian, Henan). In the second year of Tiansheng's reign, he was a Jinshi, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and a historian. Together with Ouyang Xiu and others, he compiled the "New Book of Tang Dynasty" and completed it. He became the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and became a scholar of Hanlin Academy. His posthumous title was Jingwen, and he had the same literary name as his elder brother Song Xiang, and was called the "Second Song Dynasty" at that time. The language of the poems is exquisite. Because "Spring in the Jade House" contains the sentence "Spring is stirring on the branches of red apricots", it is known as "The Book of Red Apricots" in the world.
