The Italian painter painted a painting of "Young Bakus", which asked us whether "life must be full of joy, do not let the golden bottle empty to the moon" is right
In daily life, whether it is a Western country or an Eastern country, wine is an indispensable drink, and even rose to "wine culture". For example, the Italian painter Caravaggio has a painting "Young Bakus", people will think of the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai on the mainland after seeing it, and his famous saying "Life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon", but also let people think about whether this sentence is right? What's going on? Let's let Xiaobian reveal the secret to you from the beginning.

Caravaggio was a sixteenth-century Italian painter who was born in a small town in Milan, Italy, the son of the italian Marquis Francisco Sfort, and the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, so Caravaggio grew up in a privileged environment. When Caravaggio grew up, he fell madly in love with painting and studied with the painter Simon Pietrozano for four years. Later, Caravaggio wanted to go out and see it, so he left his teacher and went alone to Venice, Rome and Cesari, during which he was also influenced by art and created many paintings, such as "The Boy Who Cut the Fruit", "The Musician's Door" and "Mary of the Repentant Magdalene".
It is worth mentioning that in the years after Caravaggio left Cesarius, he fell into a low point in his life, so that his paintings were not accepted, and in order to relieve the bitterness in his heart, he also began to try to drink alcohol continuously, trying to numb himself with alcohol. However, alcohol did not depress Caravaggio, but inspired him to paint a large number of classic works, such as The Death of the Virgin, John the Baptist and The Martyrdom of Santa Ursula. In addition, Caravaggio also liked to paint Dionysus, such as "Young Bakus", which is one of the representatives of his Dionysus paintings.
Experts have shown that caravaggio's lover Mario Minnity, who plays the dionysus in "Young Bakus", sits half-reclining on a recliner with a glass of red wine in her hand, giving people a drunken and hazy feeling, as if she has just relaxed after drinking and can sleep peacefully the next second. The novelty of this painting is that it maximizes the restoration of the original appearance of the Western Dionysus, which makes people feel very intimate and natural, that is, brings a soft beauty like red wine. In ancient Greek mythology, dionysus was Dionysus, who is said to be a beautiful man with a good look, as depicted in The Young Bakus.
Overall, in the Western wine culture, dionysus is highly respected, and the wine he invented is also loved by Westerners, for example, in many Western film and television dramas, wine is a very casual drink, and it is okay to pour a small sip of drink, but this scene is not available in Chinese culture. We also have two dionysus, namely Yi Di and Shao Kang, the former being the hero of Dayu and the latter being the monarch of the Xia Dynasty. Unfortunately, our dionysus ended badly, such as Yi Di being snubbed by Dayu and not reused, and Shaokang being little known in history, which also reflects the attitude of ancient rulers towards wine, that is, "there will be those who will destroy their country with wine in future generations" (Western Han Dynasty", "Warring States Policy").
It can be seen that drinking alcohol is Chinese's long-term view of wine, so it also leads to a desolate end for our dionysus, which is in stark contrast to the Western dionysus. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was a well-known poet, but at the same time he was also a "drunkard", for example, in "Will Enter the Wine" he wrote that "life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon", in addition to many poems created by Li Baijiu have been handed down to this day, indicating that wine also brought him creative inspiration, on how wine to caravaggio to create paintings, but also inspired his inspiration to achieve paintings such as "Young Bakus".
Many people said that when they saw "Young Bakus", they thought of Li Bai's famous sayings, such as the above-mentioned "life must be full of joy", telling us that life is short and should be happy in time, but it is also a bit problematic to think about it carefully. Although Li Bai's contribution to poetry is unparalleled, he is not a good husband or a good father in terms of family, completely ignoring the existence of the family, and in the end there is nothing praiseworthy except poetry. Therefore, under the guidance of this value of "just in time", many people will become "radical", too self-centered, and ignore wives, children, parents, families and society.
In short, it is something that is indispensable in both Eastern and Western cultures, although there are differences in the way wine is treated, but this difference is not because of wine itself, just as "money is the source of all evil", the mistake is not money, but human nature, it is our ideological concept, and we are the same for wine.
