I don't know why wine is so popular.
Is it refreshing? To tell the truth, its spicy taste definitely makes the first person who drinks frown; Is it mellow? You're welcome to say that the breath exhaled after drinking for a long time is absolutely blind; Is it nourishing the stomach? No, it will upset the stomach! However, wine has the art of controlling people. Between toasts, it locks you firmly and makes you love and hate, and you can't stop. It is so ghostly, it quietly caters to your needs, soothes your emotions, reorganizes your emotions, cuts your family ties, tempts your desires, and then amplifies your courage. At this time, you have an irresistible pleasure, but it is just a snicker. I have to admit that wine can stimulate people and fool people. Driven by stimulation and deception, people have another world that is at arm's length from the real environment. The master of this world is none other than the inflated ego. Maybe that's why people love wine.
In fact, the reputation of wine is quite controversial, not to mention that Zhou Wang's "wine pool and meat forest" has cast a corrosive color on wine, and the five precepts of Buddhism "killing thieves, whoring and jumping into wine" have given wine a bad name. Let's say that those alcoholics since Liu Ling, their drunken misconduct, also left unwashed stains on wine. However, wine is pure, and people will not ignore it because of "wine damage". On the contrary, their love for wine has never weakened. People of all kinds of parties, celebrations and colors are enthusiastic about wine and happy about toasting. When asked why, Ruan Ji, the author of "The Drunken Man's Heart Is Not in the Wine", replied: Because he can "forget the world, he can lean on the wine".
That's right. Needless to say, drinking is naturally a happy thing to make friends. Simply put, those literate people love wine because it can arouse their spirits and make them happy, so they have a long thought and a good sentence. Let's look at the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was an era of character. Bachelor of Arts students "let nature take its course", and their personality is full of alcohol. The most charming and forgetful person is Tao Yuanming, who wrote as many as 20 poems about "drinking" and once admitted that "there is truth in them, but I forgot to say it when I wanted to argue". Looking at the Tang poetry, it is a splendid kingdom with a variety of customs, full of wine, drunk in the rivers and lakes, drunk in ancient and modern times. The most romantic and amorous feelings belong to Li Bai. This guy made no secret of his passion for wine, calling friends and calling "I'm going to drink, and there are more cups." Touched by Song Ci, it is a garden of flowers that is both bold and graceful. There is wind and smoke in boldness, and coquettish in grace. But whether bold or graceful, there is a strong smell of wine dripping. Xin Qiji is the most sober and worried about drinking, right? He "looked at the sword with a lamp in his hand and dreamed of blowing horns and fighting in the camp." When his ambition was hard to pay, he was still depressed and angry: "Last night, Matsumoto was drunk and asked Matsumoto,' How drunk am I?' "Look at the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Republic of China and New China. In the tortuous cultural journey, the wine glass never leaves the literati's table. Wine intoxicates literati, sometimes thinking in drunkenness, and sometimes singing in binge drinking. I wanted to touch Mr. Lu Xun's pipe, but Mr. Cheng Xiang led me to touch Kong Yiji's glass; I wanted to touch Guo Moruo's tie, but I didn't expect Lao Guo to get drunk and tear it off under the table. I wanted to be close to Yu Dafu's study, but I didn't expect Mr. Yu to be drunk in Shili Sheep Farm on the night when the spring breeze was intoxicated. I wanted to peek at Xu Zhimo's love, but I didn't know that Lu Xiaoman had been by his side for a long time, leaving only a tearful farewell to Cambridge; I especially want to kiss Qiu in Tuanbowa, which is the beautiful scenery written by the red poet Guo Xiaochuan after drinking. His poems are written in pure wine. And his other poem "A toast to wine" is even more frightening: "It rains in the dog days, and it thunders against thunder; Zhuxian Town fought, hammer to hammer; Tonight, let's drink to each other! " ..... Ha ha, wine, wine, who are you, so let the literati's thoughts ripple.
Some people say that wine is the inspiration of literature, while others say that literature makes wine. But in my opinion, it doesn't matter. What's important is that drinking has become an art, which is integrated with thoughts, emotions, nature, environment and aesthetics, and has entered the art palace. A person who drinks is thoughtful, which is a philosophical drinking; Talking about actor Kan Kan's novel drinking; Group drinkers are in high spirits, which is a kind of poetic drinking. Also, it seems that "drinking in spring is appropriate for the court, drinking in summer is appropriate for the effect, drinking in autumn is appropriate for the boat, drinking in winter is appropriate for the room, drinking at night is appropriate for the moon, and drinking is appropriate for elegance ..." In fact, it is an aesthetic objectification of wine. Oh, by the way, Bai Juyi's poem "A suggestion for my friend Liu": "There is a ray of green in the old bottle and a little red in the static furnace. It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside? ? "What a charming sketch this is. Although the composition is simple, it reveals layers of interest, hides the interest in saying no, and the last sentence, "How about a glass of wine inside?" Is really a bunch of candlelight, lit up the whole poem and the people in the street.
People often say seven things to open the door: rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Scholars are full of ambitions, but they have different understandings. Yuan Mei and Cha, celebrities in the Qing Dynasty, both said seven things: painting and calligraphy, playing chess and writing poems. They classify wine as an art, on the one hand, it is "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea" and on the other hand, it is "painting, calligraphy, chess and poetry hops". Wine is elegant, tea is vulgar. In fact, since the appearance of tea, is it vulgar? Although tea is more famous than wine, it also has a domineering taste. Nowadays, literati love wine and tea, and it is hard to say which is higher or lower. However, there is still a difference between the two. That tea wraps "people" in vegetation, moistens the body with the air of the earth, and enters the throat with still air, giving people great concentration; That wine, with water as its shape and fire as its nature, is the essence of five grains. It seems soft but strong, giving people great tension. People can't lack concentration and tension. Between tea and wine, people often think of it in comparison: tea is a family member and wine is a lover; Tea is a pillow moon, and wine is a bird in the wind; Tea is a flower in the court, and wine is a dream on the road; Tea is an eye-catching spring, and wine is a boat crossing the river ... tea is hot and tea is cold, and wine is strong and wine is weak. Whether you can have a drink depends on your eyes.
