A Glass of Wine Life – Reverie about fine wine and moonlight

"Warm a pot of wine under the moonlight", with a mysterious Zen meaning, mellow and romantic mood, the Chinese literati's favor for wine, is really unforgettable.

According to the number of poems (words) mentioned in the works, the land tour at the top of the list was as high as 1729 times, followed by Su Shi 738 times, followed by Bai Juyi 674 times, Li Bai 213 times, and the least Du Fu also had 183 times. Although there is no way to verify it, it is enough to explain the origin of Chinese literati and wine.

Lu Wenfu once counted the benefits of wine: "Wine can relieve worries, cheer, hypnotize, relieve fatigue, be omnipresent, omnipotent." "The "supreme product" of living and free. However, I don't know how many literati and inkers that pot of turbid wine has achieved, nor how many immortal poems praise the magic of wine.

In the impression, most of those who borrow wine to write books have encountered a low point in their lives, or their careers are not smooth, or their ambitions are not rewarded, or they are sad and angry, so they use wine to dispel depression and express feelings. For example, Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" "The bell and drum are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after a long time of drunkenness." The sages of ancient times were all lonely, but only the drinker kept his name", which sounds very free, but it is actually a self-consolation that is desperate to go. "How can we relieve our worries? Only Du kang. Cao Cao, who was full of pride, was born in a chaotic world, and he had to borrow wine to relieve his worries.

Wang Han's "Liangzhou Words" "Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately urge." Drunkenly lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, gu lai conquest a few people back", full of bold words, but the heart is the sadness of life and death. After Bai Juyi resigned from the government, he wrote an autobiography, "If you are drunk and awake, wake up and groan, drink again, drink and drunk, and still be drunk, if the cycle is continuous." Because he was able to dream of his life, the clouds were rich, the curtain was on the ground, the sky was in the sky, the moment was a hundred years, Tao Taoran, faint, did not know that old age was coming, and the ancient so-called one who had all the wine, so he called himself Mr. Drunken Yin" ("The Biography of Mr. Drunken Yin"). It seems detached, but in fact, the helplessness overflows into words.

Regarding the drinking method of wine, Lin Qingxuan said: "Drinking wine is philosophical, preparing a lot of appetizers, drinking a cup and plate is the inferior drinking method; a few peanuts and a plate of dried tofu, and three or five friends in the north and south of the world is the middle way of drinking; a person drinking alone, raising a glass to invite Mingyue, to the shadow into three people, is the best way to drink." "The same is drinking, different people will eventually drink different life conditions."

I don't drink, I don't have the capital to drink in a pot, and I can't taste the hangover. But in life, it is inevitable that you will not be able to help yourself, even if the drops of wine do not stick, accompanied by a glass of white water, you must wait until the "gathering" will eventually disperse. As a spectator, the drinking I have seen is probably between the "middle class" and the "lower class" - a large number of diners, or confidants or colleagues or deceased people, or because of some need to gather together, push cups and cups, and open the sky. At the end, the cups and plates are in disarray, and each thing is running. The drunkard has never seen it, but there are always people who are obsessed with not getting drunk, and the wine fairy wine saint seems to be just a legend.

"Warm a pot of moonlight wine" is really intoxicating, but this intoxication is not enough to induce my potential to drink. Everywhere I went, it was still a glass of white water. White water is crystal clear, light and tasteless, but it contains the possibility of giving it all five flavors. Perhaps, a cup of white water should also have a triple drinking method, both plain and comfortable, and the gentleness of small bridges and flowing water, and even the grandeur of the big river going east.

The moonlight is seductive, take a cup of white water or drink with Wu Gang, or use the simplicity of a cup of white water to taste the glitzy life, to face the troubles of the world...
