My newly brewed rice wine has not been filtered, and there is a layer of green residue on the surface of the wine, which smells delicious. The small stove for scalding wine is also ready. It is made of red mud. It's cloudy. It seems to snow at night. Can you come to my house for a drink?
Bai Juyi was born in Xinzheng, Henan, and his ancestral home was Taiyuan, Shanxi.
He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Poet Magic" and "Poet King". He and Yuan Zhen advocated the New Yuefu Movement, which was called "Bai Yuan" by the world and "Bai Liu" with Liu Yuxi.
Bai Juyi is a bachelor of Hanlin and Zuo Zanshan is a doctor. Bai Juyi's philosophy of "poverty and loneliness" was mostly embodied in a "leisurely life" in his later years.
In 844, 73-year-old Bai Juyi funded the excavation of the stone beach around Longmen, and after the completion of the work, he wrote a poem "Two Stone Beaches in the Eighth Section of Longmen" as a souvenir, which still embodies his outlook on life of "helping the world and achieving the goal".
