A piece of advice for my friend Liu? Bai Juyi? Tang dynasty
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?
Translation:
My newly brewed rice wine has not been filtered, and there is a layer of green bubbles on the surface of the wine, which smells good. A small red mud stove for scalding wine is also ready.
It's cloudy. It seems to snow at night. Can you stay and have a drink with me?
Green ant refers to the green foam floating on the newly brewed unfiltered rice wine.
This five-line poem is very interesting. By describing the drinking environment and the weather outside, the drinking atmosphere is repeatedly rendered, which naturally leads to the last sentence, full of charm. At the same time, it also contains the profound friendship between the poet and Liu Shijiu. It is conceivable that after reading Bai Juyi's poems, Liu Shijiu came all of a sudden with joy, of course, and the two of them drank happily. It may be snowing heavily outside, but the room is warm and bright, warm and comfortable, and intoxicating. The language of the whole poem is concise and implicit, with endless aftertaste.
The work is full of the emotional appeal of life, and the simple language writes the beautiful and sincere friendship in daily life.

Some people think that this poem was written in the 12th year of Yuanhe (AD 8 17), but the poet is Sima of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), so it is impossible to invite Luoyang to drink.
