In ancient times, there was a scholar who could not write a good article without drinking and sleeping. What's his name?

Brewmaster is Li Bai:

When Brewmaster mentioned "Brewmaster", people with cultural knowledge and common sense of drinking would think of Liu Ling, who was drunk in the bamboo forest in Jin Dynasty.

The legend of Liu Ling's drinking probably begins with "Du Kang got Liu Ling drunk". Du Kang is the founder and saint of wine, and Liu Ling drinks his wine specially. It must be Brewmaster. However, Du Kang was Shao Kang, who was the legendary King of Xia, and Liu Ling lived in Peiguo during the Western Jin Dynasty. This "Du Kang makes Liu Ling drunk" is a bit like "Guan Gong hits Qin Qiong". In fact, this is not difficult to explain. It can be understood that the bartender of Du Kangzao existed in the Jin Dynasty, and it can also be understood that the wine was originally brewed by Du Kangzao. We can also imagine that in the kingdom of the soul freedom in the celestial world, Liu Ling admired the winemaker Du Kang, and Du Kangze made Liu Ling drunk for three years. These three years are also mortal sayings, and the celestial world is only three days.

Since ancient times, China has not had a history book specifically for drinkers, and since ancient times, people have always had different opinions about drinking, and there are few biographies about drinkers. Therefore, it is difficult to find out the number and amount of alcohol Liu Ling drinks every day.

However, one thing is certain, that is, Liu Ling didn't drink too much when she was a teenager, otherwise, she wouldn't be a Jian 'an person to join the army. But he was either tired of joining the army, or a little out of sight, so he challenged the court. Claiming to carry out Laozi's thought and the idea of "governing by doing nothing", the emperor Laozi was not only incompetent, but was dismissed in the name of "incompetence"

Liu Ling's relationship with wine should have ended after his dismissal. His bones have been saturated with the idea of "inaction", and now there is really nowhere to do, so he began to debauch the bamboo forest, drink and write poems, and become arrogant and lofty, leaving an eternal wine name.

One of Liu Ling's great contributions to "The Jar" is to write "Ode to the Virtue of Wine", and vigorously promote his thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi and his thoughts of debauchery. It's a pity that there is too much contempt for etiquette in the article, so it's not too difficult to find this article today.

Liu Ling's story about drinking wine is also very similar to Mr. Zhuang Zhou's outlook on life. It is said that when Liu Ling was traveling outside, she asked the servant to carry the hoe behind her and told her, "I got drunk somewhere and buried me on the spot." Show extreme detachment.

But Liu Ling really drank too much wine, which not only made him lose his political position, but also made him hang up the name of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in vain, leaving no masterpieces that surprised future generations, leaving only a wine name that has been passed down through the ages, and opinions vary.

Li Bai, who was canonized as a poet, also belongs to Brewmaster, because in a sense, without wine, there would be no Li Taibai, a poet who flourished in the history of China literature, as can be seen from the "Hundred Poems of Li Bai Fighting for Wine".

Where is Li Bai? Li Bai is among the mountains. The ranger wearing a crown and a sword around his waist is Li Bai. Li Bai is different from other ranger Taoist priests in that there is no wine gourd around his waist. He is a rich boy and has a lot of gold and silver for him to spend. He drinks everywhere he goes. Why did you use that wine gourd? Li Bai didn't like drinking alone when he was young. Everywhere he went, he made friends, drank and wrote countless beautiful poems.

Li Bai is really talented. While traveling, drinking and writing poems, his reputation has spread to Kyoto, making the emperor Lao Zi feel that he is a genius in the world and sending three letters to recruit him in Beijing.

Although the poet has always been proud of being a great man, he is also a man and wants to have a chance to show his talent. He still went to Kyoto happily. Before he left, he didn't forget to buy a wine to celebrate, and sang a song, "Laugh to the sky, are we Artemisia people?" Long song is gone. A bitter with sweet, bright future mentality is beyond words.

But Li Bai was wrong. The emperor Lao Tzu didn't give him any real power, but asked him to fill in a few lyrics in the ballroom, such as "clothes are needed for the clouds, flowers are needed for capacity" for entertainment. Although it is only a pastime art, it also shows Li Bai's extraordinary talent. He often drunk himself into the temple, and a poem stunned four seats, even the imperial concubine had to sit up and take notice of him.

The emperor can't entertain himself all day, which leaves Li Bai an opportunity to drink and make friends, raise a glass and recite poems. This arrogant genius often appears at the head of Chang 'an Street, on the wine table of literati, and with whom he became a "four-Ming fanatic" with "eight immortals in wine". His proud life often reminds him: "Chang 'an was drunk in the past, and five kings and seven public glasses of wine." In the face of heroic spirit, the romantic spirit will fall behind others. "It is a portrayal of that era.

In fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon. The declining rule of the Tang Dynasty and the cheating and decadent life in the court made the great poet really unbearable, and finally he did something that the emperor could not tolerate after drinking. Although he put his foot out, Gao Lishi, the powerful minister, took off his boots and insulted the arrogant figure. But Gao Lishi is not jealous. Now that Gao Lishi has taken off his boots, it's hard to put them on again. There is no way, Li Bai is still very self-aware, resigned to the emperor and left Beijing.

Li Bai loves poetry, wine and the moon, and a group drinks alone with the moon, telling another artistic conception of life.

Who are the relatives who know each other and love each other? Only till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, drunk in the flowers. Political ambition eventually vanished, and no one could do anything about it.

If "drinking the bright moon alone" still means superficial boredom and drunkenness, then "drinking wine" shows a great sadness inside, and "and we will drown the sorrow of generations!" It is not just a sigh of life's "going into the sea and never coming back" and "the morning is like moss, and the evening is like snow".

Even when the "eternal hatred" is hard to disappear, the poet still shows great momentum, and at the same time contains an extremely contradictory and complicated psychology. On the one hand, he is as ambitious as "I was born useful", on the other hand, he is "Let me get drunk forever and never come to reason!" And "five flowers, golden autumn, give it to the boy for good wine" show extreme contempt for fame and fortune.

Li Bai's story should have a romantic ending: there is a boat floating in the quarrying river, and a generation of poets are singing and laughing and proudly watching the world. Finally, the most brilliant moment has arrived. The poet plunged into the river and swam to the bright moon hidden in the river, gradually merging with the bright moon. In the kingdom of the soul, he finally got the bright moon that he sang all his life and became a swan song.

Song Wu, the hero who drinks it.

Who is the third Brewmaster? Where is he? In the history of China, there are so many Brewmaster that anyone can name several names at once. I just inadvertently pushed this Brewmaster to the third place.

This Brewmaster is still lying on the big bluestone in front of Jingyanggang, snoring like thunder. That means that he will wake up and move on after sleeping with the big bluestone weathering.

As you probably know, this is Wu Erlang in Water Margin. The reason why he is Wu Erlang in Water Margin, rather than Song Wu in the late Northern Song Dynasty, is that Song Wu's reputation is immortal through Shi Naian.

This Song Wu was originally famous in Qinghe County, but he was very greedy for what was in the cup. Every time you get drunk, you have to sue someone else. This time, he took a big lawsuit and killed someone. When he was helpless, he had to fly away.

I didn't expect to meet this "three bowls off duty" hotel on the way. Young and full of alcohol, Wu Erlang only regarded the signboard as a scary advertisement made by a cunning restaurant, and didn't take it to heart at all. He drank fifteen bowls at a stretch. This wine was originally called "going out to pour", but Song Wu didn't pour it after drinking fifteen bowls. Instead, he turned around and laughed at the restaurant: "But he didn't say that three bowls were not enough!" Then stride forward.

Without these fifteen bowls of wine, it is hard to say whether Song Wu can kill the white-fronted tiger. When the big tiger appeared, Song Wu's wine woke up half, but the remaining half was just the power of wine. As a result, he killed the blade with three punches and two feet. People in yanggu county were killed for a long time. They were very unhappy. They put silk, satin and flowers on Song Wu.

Song Wu is famous for fighting tigers, and the power of fighting tigers is precisely the power of those fifteen bowls of old wine. In this way, Song Wu's reputation and Song Wu's wine name are the same as the sun and the moon.

Without wine, Song Wu could not be a hero. Song Wu himself said, "Without wine, I have no skills. If I bring some wine, I will have some skills. " Five points for wine and five points for skill. I don't know where this power comes from. If it weren't for being drunk and daring, how could Jingyanggang beat this big bug? "

As the saying goes, "a hero comes out after drinking." Therefore, Song Wu put forward the requirement that "three bowls are not enough" when he kindly taught goalkeepers. I hope it's wine. On the way, whenever you meet a hotel, you must drink three bowls, otherwise you can't move forward. Fourteen miles, twelve or three restaurants, Song Wu actually drank thirty-five or six bowls, and I don't know how many points his skill has increased. That little breeder is just a bug in his hand.

On the other hand, wine makes a hero, and you have to be a hero in advance. If you have no skill at all, but pretend to be a hero and make a name for yourself by drinking wine, you will only become a pile of mud on the beach and a bear.

Liu Ling drinks in the name of wine, Li Bai drinks in the name of poetry and Song Wu drinks in the name of poetry, each with his own merits.
