1, a suggestion from Bai Juyi to his friend Liu
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?
2. Why do you like:
There are very few twenty poems, which have no profound sustenance and flowery rhetoric, but between the lines, there are warm and cheerful colors and warm friendship, showing warm poetic feelings. The cleverness of poetry is first of all the careful choice and clever arrangement of images. The expression of the whole poem mainly depends on the combination of three images (new wine, stove and sunset snow). "New wine in old bottles", cut to the chase and make new wine.
Because the wine is newly brewed and has not been filtered, the wine surface is covered with wine residue bubbles, slightly green and as small as ants, so it is called "green ants". 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 is "There is a red commotion in the quiet stove". The rough little stove was simple and warm, and the fire was red. The poet sat around the fire.
The raging 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. Because before the age of 30, you know you still have time to splurge, and there are endless possibilities in the future.
However, at the age of 40, it seems that no matter how hard you work, you will get better on the basis of the status quo. Moreover, a 40-year-old person is particularly prone to loneliness. In the past, people around him were taking care of their emotions, but now they are looking around.
Everyone around you needs to take care of themselves. It is common that children don't understand you and wives and husbands don't understand you. This is one of the reasons why I like ancient poetry. It is changing my life, making me try to get out of the solidified life circle and become different from the people around me.
