Bai Juyi lived in seclusion in Luoyang in his later years. At that time, he "missed his old friend in think of snow at night". Liu Shijiu was a friend of the author when he was in Jiangzhou, and the author wrote a song "Liu Shijiu Sleeps Together", saying that he was Chu Shi of Songyang. Some people think that this poem was written in the twelfth year of Yuanhe (8 17), but the poet is Sima in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), so it is impossible to invite Luoyang's old friends to drink.
A suggestion for my friend Liu.
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove.
With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine? '
The newly brewed rice wine is green and fragrant; A small red mud stove is burning crimson. It's getting dark, and the snow is coming. Can I have a drink? Friend!

Appreciation: "New wine in old bottles" comes straight to the point and points out new wine. Because the wine is newly brewed and unfiltered, the wine surface is covered with wine residue foam, slightly green and as small as an ant, so it is called "green ant". The first sentence of the poem describes the light green, turbid and rough home-brewed rice wine, which is easy to arouse readers' association and makes readers seem to see the fragrant and sweet rice wine.
The second sentence, "There is a red commotion in a quiet stove", is a simple and warm stove, and the fire is burning red. The poet sat around the fire, and the blazing fire lit up the house at dusk and the home brew with green foam. "A quiet stove stirs red" plays a role in rendering colors and setting off the atmosphere for the drinking environment. The wine is already very attractive, and the fire adds a warm atmosphere.
The last two sentences: "It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside?"? ? "In such a cold and snowy winter, in such a twilight leisure time, inviting old friends to drink and catch up with the past shows the poet's deep friendship.
