<h1>Spit out ink in your chest when you are drunk</h1>
From ancient times to the present, literati rioters have always been inseparable from wine, such as the poetry book garden, and those famous artists who occupy the wind in the painting world are "Yahao Yamazawa's cup of wine". After drinking, they "undressed the thin whiskers and shoulders", so that "the broken ancestors were bald and radiant", and wine became an indispensable and important condition for their creation. Wine can be tasted, drunk, sung or celebrated, or included in the drawing. Looking at the outstanding works of Chinese painting throughout the ages, there are many themes related to wine culture, and it can be said that painting and wine are inextricably linked, and they have formed an indissoluble relationship between them.
<h1></h1>
The history of Chinese painting records tens of thousands of famous painters, and there is no shortage of people who enjoy music. We can only start with Wu Daozi and Zheng Qian, who have the title of "Painting Saint" and the reputation of "Three Absolutes".
Wu Daozi's name is Dao Xuan, and the characters of the Painting Dao interpretation have the magic of "Wu Belt Dangfeng", which is called "Wu Family Style". Emperor Tang Ming ordered him to paint the scenery of the Three Hundred Mile Landscape of the Jialing River, and he could achieve it in one day. The "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties" says that he "must drink every time he wants to swing", and the speed of the painting of the Jialing River and the mountains shows the degree of activity of his thoughts, which is the result of the stimulation of wine. Wu Daozi first studied calligraphy with Caosheng Zhang Xu before learning to paint, and his habit of drinking heavily was probably not unrelated to Naishi.
Zheng Qian, Li Bai and Du Fu were poetry and wine lovers, and all poems and paintings could not be combined, and he once presented poems and paintings to Xuanzong, and Xuanzong's royal pen personally inscribed "Zheng Qian's Three Perfections".
Another example is Wang Qia (1825), known as Wang Mo for his good painting of splashed ink landscapes, whose people are crazy and drunk, indulging between rivers and lakes, and whenever they want to paint, they must first drink until they are drunk, first sprinkle ink on the silk, the ink color is light or thick, with its natural shape, for the mountains as stones, for the clouds for smoke, with thousands of changes, beyond the reach of ordinary painters.
Guo Zhongshu, who was active in the fifth dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, was a famous master of boundary painting, and the pavilions he made were completely scaled down and depicted in accordance with the rules of the building, and the commentators said: The halls he painted gave people a sense of being able to take a foot, and the doors and windows seemed to be able to open and close. In addition, his calligraphy of articles is also quite successful, and history says that he was "able to read and write at the age of seven". However, in the era of political turmoil in the Five Dynasties, his career was extremely bumpy, but his paintings were very popular. Guo Zhongshu never easily moved his pen to paint, and whoever wanted to take the painted silk and beg him to paint would inevitably go away in anger. But after drinking, I have to write my own pen. Once, An Lujun begged him to paint, but was knocked back by Guo Zhongshu without hesitation. The sheriff was not satisfied, and let a monk who was familiar with Guo Zhongshu take the fine silk and earn a masterpiece after Guo Zhongshu drank. The general Guo Congyi was smarter than this county sheriff, and when he was guarding the qidi, he often invited Guo Zhongshu to feast, and the banquet hall was lined with pen and ink. Guo Congyi also never opened his mouth to ask for paintings. And so on for months. One day, Guo Zhongshu took advantage of the drunkenness to paint a work, which was regarded as a treasure by Guo Congyi.
In the Yuan Dynasty, many painters were famous for their large amount of alcohol in the ancient and modern painting circles, and Guo Yi, who "had the amount of whale sucking", was counted as one. The landscape painter Cao Zhibai also drank a lot of wine. Cao Zhizi (1272-1355) character Zhensu, number Yunxi. Rich and wealthy, he likes to travel, especially good at decorating the pond hall, often inviting literati and scholars, writing poems in his elegant garden, and singing without vain days. "Drunkenness is the song of the poems of the left sages of the river, or the painting of the pen". Yang Zhonghong summed up his attitude towards life: "A thousand volumes of books that consume the years, a vat of Qiankun wine in the Proud Courtyard." Another landscape painter, Shang Qi (Zi Defu, active in the 14th century), was able to "drink one stone wine". Say they deserve a lot of money. Of course, there are also painters who like to drink but can't drink, such as Zhang Shunzhi (character master Fee, good at painting flowers and birds) is good at drinking, but drunk when he dips into wine, "Fei Weng eighty pairs of sideburns, drink less drunk and drunk and happy", so he is also called a drunk man.
"Yangzhou Eight Monsters" is an important genre in the Qing Dynasty painting world. Several of the painters in the "Eight Monsters" are good at drinking. Gao Fenghan (1683-1748) "fell rock and wine, thin travel in all directions". Luo Ping (Zi Liangfeng 1733-1799), who is famous for painting "Ghost Fun Map", was even more "three liters of wine, ten zhangs are suspicious". After his death, Wu Yiren wrote poems to mourn him, and also mentioned his hobbies during his lifetime, "throwing wine glasses yesterday", which shows the popularity of his drinking. Luo Liangfeng's teacher Jin Nong (Zi Dongxin, 1687-1763), a man who could not live without wine, once wrote self-deprecatingly: "Drunk and absurd, we wake up in our dreams, and accompany me to sleep empty bottles." The "Collection of Mr. Winter Heart" includes more than ten works of poetry and wine exchanges between him and his friends, such as "Shi You is very windy, and the old man has a good wine." Blocking the wind and drinking wine, Prozac poetry guest nostalgia"; "The green pu festival is fragrant in the evening, the first wine storehouse is busy, the wine name is clear and countable, and the sailing boat makes the version of Yan tong to taste". Jin Dongxin not only likes to drink bitterly, but is probably also good at tasting wine, and he himself once proudly said that "I and Feihua both dissolve wine", so his friends Wu Han and Wu Luan's brothers opened their own wine cellar and let him taste the family collection. Zheng Banqiao, who is famous for painting bamboo orchids and writing about "rare confusion", has also been associated with wine all his life. Zheng Banqiao (1693-176) said in his autobiographical "Seven Songs" that "Zheng Sheng has no camp in thirty years, he has not succeeded in learning books and swords, and he has drunk young people in the city building, and he beats drums and plays poles all day long." "It shows that he has had a penchant for drinking since his youth." Zheng Banqiao has his own familiar restaurant and has formed a deep friendship with the restaurant, "The river bridge is still in arrears with the wine of the year, and the wall of the shop is still drunk with poetry." He also wrote a special poem to the hotel owner surnamed Xu in other places, entitled "Sending Liu Daoshi and Showing the Restaurant Xu Lang", and the second half of this poem is written like this: "Peach And Li Beijun's family, the frost chrysanthemum has flowered, several return periods, snow is full of heaven." He was told that the river bridge should make more wine, and it must be left to be left behind, and the old man will get rid of it. "Whether it is boss Xu of the River Bridge Restaurant who is in a panic, or the famous Mr. Itabashi Corporal LiXian, we don't know." However, the friendship and interaction between them is always "medium" by wine!" Eight monsters, the most favorite wine is Huang Shen. Huang Shen (1687-1722) Yu Gongwei, thin scoop. A native of Caotian, Fujian Province, Liuyu Yangzhou made a living selling paintings for Cao Yu. Good at painting people, landscapes, flowers, cursive is also exquisite. The Qingliang Daoist 'Notes on Xinyuxuan' says that he was "sexually alcoholic, and the painter has a good money, and he has no calculations, talking about ancient and modern times, if there is no one around." Drink and catch the pen, swing as fast as the wind." In fact, Huang Shen loves to drink but the amount of alcohol is pitifully small, and the Cool Daoist is probably a bit exaggerated. Xu Qizhuo's "Small Biography of the Skinny Lady Mountain Man" said that he was "drunk in a mess, drunk on his hair, ink in his hair, and dozens of paintings fluttering in an instant." Ma Rongzu said in the preface to the "Mosquito Lake Poetry Banknote" that Huang Shen was "drunk and excited, and swept his sleeves quickly, so that he did not know why it was so." Quan and do not examine the size of Huang Shen's wine, several records together tell the best works of Huang Shen, most of which are made of letters and pens when the wine is hot, and the intention is enough to be complete. When Huang Shen painted, his pen was as fast as a rain and a fierce wind, and the Qingliang Daoist people had seen the scene when Huang Shen painted, saying that Huang Shen's paintings were "like a draft at first glance, a few strokes, the shape is difficult to distinguish, and if you look at it from the zhangyu, then the mental bone strength is also out." Huang Shen is a cursive penmanship to highly refine and summarize the image of the character, the pen is not enough to realize, in the "Drunken Sleep Map", Li Tie's unrestrained, the life habits of the four seas as home, and the character of rough and bold are vividly carved out. As Zheng Banqiao said: "Painting to the point where the expression is floating, there is no truth and there is a real soul."
At present, there are disasters on one side of the country, support from eight parties, charity performances, and relief to disaster areas. The first person to provide disaster relief in the form of a calligraphy and painting bazaar was Mr. Jin Ji, who liked the contents of the cup. Mr. Zheng Yimei's "Yimei Miscellaneous Records" introduced: "Jin Ji is a cautious successor, the word Mianzhi, the harmonic sound to avoid foolishness, also known as the wine temple." "Good at drawing orchids." At the time of the Lu flood, the Sea Flavor Medicine Garden specially opened a relief meeting, fish dragon Man Yan, a hundred plays and miscellaneous Chen, the proceeds from the sale of coupons, all to donate and lose, free from foolish charity, volunteered, went to the garden with pen and ink, sprinkled in public, instantly, responded to requests, never stagnated, and opened calligraphy and painting to help the wind of relief. Jin Ji's life is inseparable from wine, "every night must be two pots of Shao wine, accompanied by a little dish, shallow and low drinks, enjoy themselves, and then reset the cigar smoke two school, stop fighting to smoke, swallow and vomit, then float white again, smoke the pot out, decadent zombie, dinner is wasted, such as the person is twenty years." Jin Jikai's calligraphy and painting was a pioneer in disaster relief, which was enough to add luster to the calligraphers and painters of Dionysus.
<h1>Drunken white eyes look at the blue sky</h1>
The strong stimulating effect of wine can glow the authenticity hidden in people's hearts, and the so-called "vomiting truth after drinking" is exactly like this. Some writers and artists are arrogant and arrogant, and they are even more upside down after drinking, and their speech and behavior are abnormal, so people give them the elegant names of "crazy man" and "crazy". Cao Sheng Zhang Xu is known as Zhang Qiang. In the Song Dynasty, there was also a painter surnamed Gan, who was famous for painting the immortals, who painted the heads of the figures with fine brushstrokes and the clothes with cursive brushwork, which was carved in an instant and the image was vivid. However, he was not drunk, pretended to be dirty, drank and cursed, and painted after drinking, and often destroyed after painting. "The rich man asks for paintings, spits and scolds", he is called a crazy person, but his name is not known.
Artists pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, and their pursuit of drunkenness is more intense and unscrupulous, or they despise the powerful, or denounc the snobs, and so on. After Li Baijiu, he dared to let the hot Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi grind ink and take off their boots, this kind of feuding to the madness of the magnates, amiable! Lovely! respectable! Liang Kai of the Southern Song Dynasty was even more wild. Liang Kai was a miniature figure painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, who was usually drunk and self-amusing, "drunk and revived", acting wildly, and got the nickname of a Liang madman. The "Illustrated Treasure Book" records that he was in the painting academy at the time of Emperor Ningzong of Song, and the emperor gave him a gold belt, but he did not accept it, hung it in the courtyard, and hung up the emperor's reward. In feudal society, the things that the emperor rewarded must be respectfully preserved and enshrined, and Liang Kai's move was something that ordinary people did not dare to do and did not understand. Ming Wei's Guizhuang (1613-1673) can write grass and is good at drawing ink and bamboo. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he refused to cooperate with the Qing government, often used wine to dispel his sorrows, and sang sad songs after drinking, and if there was no one around, Guizhuang and the great thinker Gu Yanwu at that time were on a par with each other, and were known as "Guiqi Guwei". Wu Wei, a court painter of the Ming Dynasty, went in and out of the court, but looked down on the magnates. The eunuchs at that time were very powerful. The eunuchs' tyrannical behavior of the country was not only despised by the people, but at the same time, some people were intimidated by their arrogance and bowed down to them. Wu Wei was consistent in appearance, with clear love and hatred, and the internal servants asked for paintings, and they could never get half a sheet. There are also some people who ask Wu Wei for paintings, and if they are not polite, they will never use their pens. Only when he was drunk, he automatically drew paper and scribbled it, and when he was finished, he threw it on the ground and let it be taken away.
The works of dionysus artists are often the embodiment of their own nature, which is a concrete reflection of his understanding of truth, goodness and beauty. Most of the works are painful, natural, revealing a kind of true feelings, without any delicate and pretentious attitude.
<h1>It's fun to</h1> drink and write
Drinking alcohol and painting are closely related. "Every time the painting saint Wu Daozi wants to swing, he must drink heavily." The Yuan Dynasty painter Ma Zhen's paintings were inseparable from wine. Ma Bowl character Wen Bi, Qin Huai (present-day Nanjing) people. His landscapes, calligraphy and poetry were known as the "Three Gems" at the time. In Pei Qiong's "Qingjiang Poetry Collection", ma Wenbi's painting scene is described: "Long memory of Qinxi Ma Wenbi, can poetry can paint the most flowing. Drinking and writing are all interesting, cutting the Bashan Wanliqiu. It seems that he can only produce creative desire and passion when he is drunk. Another Yuan Dynasty painter, Shang Qi, was also a famous painter who "put ink on his head when he was drunk" and "swept the river vine paper when he drank wine", and his landscape paintings were known as "the world's unparalleled ratio", so "the heavens are known". Ma Zu often said in the "Nantian Anthology" that Shang Qi poured all his passion after drinking into his pen and ink, "Cao Nan Shangjun Confucian son, who was in the history of JiXian's non-painting, drunk and arrogant, did not dare to make it, and sprinkled the landscape and water to stand on a piece of paper." These examples are enough to show that alcoholic calligraphers and painters like to create while they are drunk. However, it is very important to know how to drink. Yuan Dynasty painter Qian Xuan was the best at grasping the best moments of creation. Qian Xuanzi Shunju, the number Yutan. The activity was in the early Song Dynasty. After the death of the Song Dynasty, he refused to be conscripted to become the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, and was willing to "hide in the painting to live his life". Qian is good at landscapes, characters, flowers and birds, and Kurama. When Dai Biaoyuan summed up the best creative state of Qian, he said: "Wu Xingqianxuan can paint alcohol, and if he is not drunk, he cannot paint, but he must not paint when he is drunk. But when the hands and hearts are reconciled, it is the pleasure of painting." I think that the harmony of hearts and hands should be the ideal creative moment for every alcoholic painter.
Alcoholic calligraphers and painters can use wine to create a good creative atmosphere for themselves, alcoholics are mentally excited, all the rationalized and standardized hedges in their minds are all ignored, all kinds of psychological pressures are thrown out of the cloud of nine clouds, creative desire and confidence are enhanced, creative ability is sublimated, the techniques they master are no longer bound by consciousness, they paint, they are handy, they are free, and their level is given extraordinary play, at this time, there are often superior masterpieces. Guo Unusually consulted his drunken post-work "Not to reduce the ancients also spoon Zhang Xu also with his drunken book can not be recovered; Gao Kegong's drunken work, "God casts a ghost service, and cannot be revealed."
<h1>I buy a private liquor to run the pen</h1>
Alcoholic professional calligraphers and painters are often "dyed with color in the window", and after the works are sold, "there is no doubt about the money to sell wine" (Zhang Yu's "Quiet Residence Collection" titled Qian Shunju "Xi Postal Map"). Yuan Kai was more direct, he wanted to get Wang Meng's (Shuming)'s painting, knew that Wang Meng liked to drink, he revealed the "I buy private wine Runjun pen" attempt, his urgent mood to ask for painting and the fact that Wang Meng was good at drinking jumped on the paper. Some greedy calligraphers and painters, no matter who has wine, can write and paint. Wang Jing (Yu Zhongzu) of the Jin Dynasty often went to donkeys. Home painting car. This was incomprehensible in a hierarchical feudal society. Wang Meng said: "I am an alcoholic, good meat, and good at painting, but people have a diet and beautiful alcohol silk, so why don't I go to it?" (Zhang Yanyuan's "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties") It seems that no matter who has these three things, he will never care about his status. Pu Hua of the Qing Dynasty", people ask for his paintings, often do not respond. If it is to pay for alcohol, it is full of excitement. Known for this, it is prepared to be su tsubaki E Yu Jing, placed on the side of the trough pot. Pujiu dropped the pen, a number of paintings in an instant, landscapes, flowers, plants, everything is available. (Zheng Yimei's "Yimei Zaza") When the calligraphers and painters woke up drunk, they all knew that the purpose of inviting them to eat wine was to take advantage of their masterpieces, but Ji . When they saw the wine, they couldn't take care of these things, as Zheng Banqiao said: "Looking at the moon, people may as well go away, and they only hate the flowers for the wine." Laugh at him for being a student, and ask mr. drunk. ”
Alcoholism is not everyone please to drink, but to see the other party's character and personality, which is the most admirable point of Song Weiyuan's wen ri concept. Wen Zi Guan Zi Zhongyan, Trumpet Sun Guan. Ordained at Mari Temple in Hangzhou. Cool drinking, "wake up drunk and unfathomable, his words are enough to be a coward" (Zheng Tianyou's "Overseas Chinese Wu Training" is called a mad monk. Wen Ri Guan Shan painted grapes, "Night under the moon to see the shadow of grapes, enlightened, new ideas, in the form of flying white books." Drunk, splashing ink with his hands, then waving ink, quickly walking grass, cleaning up the scattered, and instantly." Therefore, people commented that his grapes "calligraphy into the grape palace", "drunken grape ink as bone", can be their own style. Wen Riguan is a man of integrity and good heart, and when he gets money, he scatters the poor. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Jinzhenjia, a close confidant of Kublai Khan, the patriarch of the Yuan Dynasty, and the president of Jiangnan Buddhism, excavated all the tombs of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to be vassal and elegant, he also invited Wen Riguan to drink many times, Wen Riguan "finally did not have a lip", on the road to see Yang Jin Zhenjia, he scolded him as a "grave digger", Yang Jin Zhenjia imposed a cruel punishment on him, Wen Riguan still did not yield, many people expressed deep sympathy and appreciation to him: "Yang Jia was not afraid to die, so the tears of the old saying are still slippery."
<h1>French wine toned the spirit</h1>
Drinking alcohol can inspire artists and add a lot of treasures to the art forest, but drinking alcohol can cause mistakes and even cause serious disasters. Fan Kuan, one of the three major landscape painters of the Northern Song Dynasty, was "drunk and depressed". Guo Zhongshu's paintings were deeply loved by Emperor Taizong of Song, so he was summoned to Gongyan and became the head of the Guozi Supervisory Book. But he became more and more indulgent, and after drinking, he lashed out at current politics. When Emperor Taizong of Song arrived at Guo Zhongshu's deeds, he was so angry that he was convicted and sent to Dengzhou, where a poor generation of famous painters died on the way to exile. Excessive drinking will inevitably hurt the body, the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Shen You said that "the wine is like lying sick", he said in the "Chinese Wine Miscellaneous Poems" that he once borrowed a seal book from a friend to appreciate, but "because relatives will feast, trapped by wine, all day long indignant, close to the beginning of the sense of purity", so he wrote a letter asking "still want to borrow a few days". Shen Right just made a mistake, and was really the lightest victim of alcohol. Wu Wei, a famous painter of the Zhejiang School in the Ming Dynasty, died of alcohol because of his usual excessive drinking. In May of the third year of Zhengde, Wu Wei was in Nanjing, and the emperor sent someone to summon him to Beijing, and after the emissary conveyed the emperor's will to him, he died of alcohol before he could get on the road. The modern Hai school painter Pu Hua really drank too much and died. One day, Pu Hua was so drunk that he couldn't move. People thought he was dead, and the next day, after Pu Hua woke up, he "went to the small liquor store in the eagle room of the city, and leaned on the ghost-faced green wine urn to pour the tendons again." It seems that he did not learn the lesson of indulgence, and one night in the summer of 1911, he actually slept drunk in the Apartment of Dengsari in Shanghai, leaving behind only a batch of immortal calligraphy and painting works and a bouquet of poems. Mr. Li Kunxiang, a famous contemporary oil painter in Tianjin, is not good at drinking alcohol, but he died of alcohol. In 1976, the "Gang of Four" was overthrown, the people rejoiced, the artists were even more jubilant, the rally celebrated, Mr. Kunxiang drank too much, and was sent to the hospital for rescue and died.
Wine can activate the inspiration of the artists who drink well, allowing them to wash their chests by Qu also blood Gong Wei Shan also take Zhong's dedication is not only and not only the county. Twisting and twisting brings them all kinds of trouble, even endangering their lives. He Zizhen's phrase "The french wine tones the spirit" is quite worthy of careful play by dionysus artists.
<h1>It is really worth painting into the drunken monk's picture</h1>
Wine culture is also an important theme created by painters, such as literary meetings, elegant collections, night banquets, cups under the moon, banana forest drinking, drunken sleep, drunken writing..... All of them are related to wine, and all of them have appeared repeatedly in Chinese paintings throughout the ages, and the "Xuanhe Pictorial Notation" alone records: Huang Stem's "Drunken Immortal Diagram", Zhang Youshou's "Drunken True Diagram", "Drunken Road Diagram", Han 1 Huang's "Drunken Bachelor's Diagram", Gu Gezhong's "Han Xizai Night Feast Map", Gu Dazhong's "Han Xizai Longitudinal Music Diagram" and so on. Legend has it that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the famous painter Zhang Monk, who was emperor of Liangwu in the Southern Dynasty, painted the mural of "Drunken Monk Figure", and the great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, Huai Su, once wrote such a poem praising "Drunken Monk Figure": "Everyone sends wine without selling, and all day long a pot is tied to the pine." Grass Saint desires to become crazy, and it is really worth painting into the picture of a drunken monk. Later, the monks were not harmonious, and the Taoist monks often used the "Drunken Monk Diagram" to ridicule and ridicule the monks. The monks were very angry, so they gathered hundreds of thousands of dollars and asked Yan Liben to paint the "Drunken Dao Map" to pay homage to the Taoists. In 1673, He and his brother Lide were known for their good paintings. Yan Liben was good at painting Taoist figures, portraits and kurama horses, and he had gone to look at the "Drunken Monk Diagram" of Zhang Monk's painting department, and at first he did not think so, and he was attracted by the goodbye, and when he went to visit for the third time, he actually lay under the mural and refused to leave, so he could get the true essence of Zhang Monk's use of pen and ink. According to records, he once painted the "Foreign Map", "GongGong Lion Diagram", "Halogen Book Diagram", "Eighteen Scholars Of Qin Province", "Zhenguan ZhonglingYange Meritorious Hero Diagram" and Tang Taizong Statue. Yan Liben was the official to the Ministry of Works Shangshu and the Right Xiang, and at the same time Jiang Ge worshiped the left phase with his military merits, so the folk spread the saying that "the left phase Xuanwei Desert, the right phase chi praised Danqing". It is said that Ge Liben painted the "Drunken Road Map" very vividly, and after the Taoist monks were drunk, they were full of foreign appearances, funny, and hilarious.
There are still many contents related to wine that can be included in the painting, such as using wine as a metaphor for life, and the so-called shou wine is to use wine as a gift to express birthday to people. Chinese paintings often use stone, peach, and wine to represent longevity. Among the Eight Immortals, Li Tieqiu and Lü Dongbin are also known for their good drinking. They also often appear in Chinese paintings, and Huang Shen, one of the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou, likes to paint Li Tieqiu. "Drunken Sleep Diagram" is a representative work of Huang Shen's freehand characters: Li Tie leaned on the wine altar on his back, sweetly lying on a large gourd, making a drunken eye posture. The mouth of the gourd smokes from itself, intertwined with the light ink-dyed heaven and earth, giving people a sense of a vast wonderland, and the drunken state of Li Tiequan, an unrestrained and homecoming "immortal", is portrayed as a unique feature, and the cursive title on the upper part of the picture is: "Who dao iron abduction, shape and limbs for many years, where are the shoes, drunk and hua upside down", which once again highlights the theme of the work. Qi Baishi painted a portrait of Lü Chunyang and inscribed a poem: "The two sleeves of the breeze do not sell money, and the tank wine is often used as a pillow to sleep." The immortals also have difficulties in peace, drunken green snakes (referring to swords) into old age. "This work is a mixture of poetry and painting, and the very philosophical language is thought-provoking.
