In the history of Gu Xunyang, when Tao Yuanming is mentioned, everyone will definitely think of three special standards on his body: one is good wine; the other is picking chrysanthemums; and the third is to call himself Mr. Wuliu. Li Bai said, "The sages of ancient times were all lonely, but the drinker kept his name." And Tao Yuanming is undoubtedly a great poet who has both a reputation for drinking alcohol and an incomparably loud poetic name.

Tao Yuanming likes to drink, but also likes to write poems after drinking, especially directly with "drinking" as the title of the song, this "poetry and wine" like a shadow of fate, let us from one side, see Tao Yuanming's personality and the taste of life in it. To understand Tao Yuanming, you must first understand his "drinking poems". The fifth poem of "Drinking" that I want to enjoy today is a representative work of Tao Yuanming after returning to Yin Xunyang. Why, then, did he write such a set of poems and make "drinking" the general title of these twenty poems?

Please listen to the fourth lecture of the fourth chapter of "Xuncheng Memory" brought to us by Professor Li Ningning of Jiujiang College - "Tao Yuanming's "Drinking" Poem and the Taste of Life".
