Remove all Pepsi? Only wine and poetry remain

This is a famous line in Bai Juyi's wine poem. Of course, what he said about "getting rid of everything" is relative to saying goodbye to friends. In life, there can be more than just wine and poetry. There are still many things to do. And I have lived for most of my life now. Whenever I think about the past, my favorite hobby in my life is still drinking. I also like poetry, but I often write short poems only after retirement.

? I have quite a reputation for drinking. Friends and people who know me will say in front of me or behind my back that I drink a lot. I remember when I was working in the labor union of Anhui Province in the 1980s, during the Chinese New Year one year, I invited three colleagues (all of whom drank well, of course) to have a drink at home. First, I gave each of them a bottle of Gujing wine (Gujing wine cost three yuan per bottle at that time). , very expensive (my salary is only more than 50 yuan per month). During the Spring Festival, everyone was in high spirits. After everyone drank one bottle smoothly, they were still unsatisfied. I ignored the persuasion of my family and opened it again. Everyone drank two bottles of Gujing on average, so everyone drank one and a half kilograms of high-strength liquor. It was too much to talk as if there was something in the mouth and it was unclear. At that time, my family lived on the fifth floor of the back building of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions. A colleague stumbled downstairs and rolled down when he reached the last staircase. The skin on his body was bruised and swollen. Fortunately, he was young at the time, and even though he was drunk, he recovered after two days. It's normal. Although this incident happened more than thirty years ago, it feels like it is happening right before my eyes. Let me make it clear here that although I love drinking, I know that few people say that I am an alcoholic, because I rarely drink alone, and I will go several days without socializing. After drinking, I often write some poems and essays to express my feelings, or have some sudden ideas to do some useful things that I like. There is no need to deny that I have made some "foreign images" due to drunkenness. In some cases, I accidentally made my friends very drunk, and even nearly killed them. Now that I think about it, I am really afraid of regrets; but one thing is certain. , although I often lost my composure when drunk, I never lost my morals...

Therefore, when I was working in the Anhui Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, I was known as the "Four Big Drinkers" by my colleagues in the Anhui Provincial Federation of Trade Unions. In 1993, I was transferred to After the Shenzhen Sports Bureau, my reputation for drinking has only increased. Now after retirement, I still drink frequently and have a considerable amount of alcohol. I can drink half a kilogram of high-strength liquor without feeling drunk. Another point is that although I am retired now, I still have a lot of friends coming to see me. Just a few days ago, I drank with friends who came to Shenzhen from Hefei for a business trip for three nights in a row. When I invite friends to drink, I don’t dare to say whether the food is good or not. I have to take care of the wine. Sometimes foreign wine, white wine, and red wine are served at the same time. Finally, I have to serve beer and say “wash your mouth.” I’m afraid that others won’t drink well. I toasted to them frequently. If I drank too much, I would often have the scene that I mentioned in my poem: "Hanging over the wine and laughing and being speechless." - I couldn't drink the wine any more, so I still held the cup as if to toast.

? Why can I drink? Now that I think about it, it may be due to the influence of family genes and living environment. Anyone who knows my family knows that my parents are very hospitable. Since I was the eldest son when I was a little older, my parents often asked me to serve at the table and toast to my uncles and aunts. As time went by, my drinking capacity gradually increased, and I gradually became addicted to alcohol. , was transferred to the countryside in 1968. Although life was hard, sometimes he would like to drink some wine when he was depressed, celebrating festivals or meeting fellow villagers holding happy events. At that time, he drank dried potato wine, which cost more than 90 cents a pound, although the wine was very spicy. Throat but also very enjoyable. From now on, drinking has become commonplace whether in college or after work.

? Why do I love drinking? There are so many benefits to wine.

? Our country’s wine culture is extensive and profound. The "Book of Han" says: "Wine is the first of the hundred rites." Wine is not only a stimulating drink, but also a cultural drink with special connotations. Drinking is not only a lifestyle and dietary behavior, but also a social and cultural activity. In today's world where "no feast is complete without wine", "the table is always full of guests and the glass is never empty", which can be described as a true portrayal of banquets and dinner parties.

? Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Western Wei Dynasty, is said to have lived 141 years old. He has a famous saying: "Wine is the best of all medicines."

Since ancient times, wine and medicine have been inseparable. Let’s take a look at the traditional way of writing “medicine” – there is a unitary word under the word “medicine”, which means “wine”.

Of course, you can’t drink too much. Traditional Chinese medicine’s discussion of wine has deepened the cultural connotation of wine to another level. Therefore, whether it is on the holiday table or during ordinary banquets, the medicinal properties of wine cannot be ignored. It can be done in moderation, which not only enhances the atmosphere, but is also beneficial to health. Instead of "taking wine as pulp, taking delusion as a habit, getting drunk enough to enter the house, and using desire to drain the essence...", only in this way can "the body and soul be preserved for the rest of their lives, and they will die after a hundred years" ("Su" Question·On Innocence in Ancient Times"

? As we all know, our country is an ancient country handed down through poetry, and it is also an ancient country rich in famous wine. Poetry is an elegant literary wonder produced by human spiritual labor; wine, It is the essence of human material production. In our country, poetry and wine have been intertwined since ancient times, forming an indissoluble bond, thus forming a unique Chinese poetry and wine culture. The word "wine" appears in the Book of Songs. *** Appears 63 times, such as "A gentleman has wine", "Xiaoya. Yuli", "Xiaoya. Auspicious Day" says: "To entertain guests, drink wine." etc. Li is a kind of sweet wine. After the Han Dynasty, there were more poems about wine. Su Wu's farewell poem to Li Ling: "I have a bottle of wine, I want to give it to people far away", which is very touching. Famous lines. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Ruan Ji, recited the sad lines of "The Qing Dynasty is rare, and good gatherings are rare. I can't express my feelings about wine, and I feel sad and sad." Under the fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan "is well known to everyone in the world. Yu Xin's poems in the Northern and Southern Dynasties said: "I am still drunk after a few cups, and the wind and clouds are no longer known", Zhang Shuyin said: "I am sincere to the wine, and the wine is fragrant and mellow", Zhang Zhengjian said: "When singing about jade wine, sitting on the beach and drinking gold rice" are all popular sentences. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the wine poems became even more famous! I like Tang Wengshou's poem about wine: "Don't regret a thousand times of drunkenness in a hundred years." "A cup can eliminate eternal sorrow." Li Bai's "If heaven does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there should be no fountain of wine." "Three hundred and sixty days, thirty thousand people will be drunk every day." "Six thousand days, you need three hundred cups of wine every day", "I am a guest while drunk, and my poems become spiritual." He has more poems about wine. Du Fu's "The wind is strong at sunset, and the west wind comes, and the wild water adds to the golden cup" A heart-stirring sentence! Bai Juyi's "A Glass of New Year's Wine, Two New Year's Poems" is quite fresh and interesting. Like today's people, the quality of wine depends on one's character: "Wine is the mirror of ancient times." "Open the hearts of little people". In the Song Dynasty, Lu You did not forget to praise Li Bai's drinking: "Taibai's ten poems contain nine words about wine, and the wine master has no poems about mountains." Su Shi even praised wine: "I was born with this magical thing to wash away my worries." Huang Tingjian. She also loves wine all her life: "The branches of yellow chrysanthemums grow cold, so don't let the wine glass dry in life." Among drinking poets, the famous female poet Li Qingzhao loves wine, which ranks with Li Bai and Su Shi. Who doesn’t know this sentence? Poets love to drink. This is an indisputable fact since ancient times. The most heyday of the combination of poetry and wine was in the Tang Dynasty. The wine culture in Tang poetry, It is the fusion of love, wine and poetry that complement each other. The well-known Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi all like to drink. Many immortal works were created and produced during this hearty time. He Zhizhang and Yuan Zhen all like to drink. There are countless examples of modern poets' love of wine. Chen Yi is a world-famous "marshal poet" who led the New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War. Enter Maoshan. At that time, the army was very difficult to provide supplies, and medicine was especially lacking. Chen Yi was very worried about this. Once, he heard that the owner of the "Qi Yaoxian Clinic" in Zhenjiang City had taken refuge in Jiufu Palace in Da Maofeng, Maoshan due to chaos in the world, so he went through all the trouble to find Qi Yaoxian. Qiyao Fairy has three hobbies: good wine, good chess, and good poetry. When he saw Chen Yi, he said to the little Taoist priest beside him with great interest: "I am honored to meet General Chen today. I am in a good mood. Go and get the wine." Finally, the Qi Yao Fairy looked at Chen Yi and recited: "Medicine can cure fake diseases." Chen Yi laughed and replied: "Wine cannot solve true sorrow." The two then played another game of chess. In the end, Qi Yaoxian gave all the medicinal materials she collected to Chen Yi, and used Jiufugong as the general hospital of the New Fourth Army Jiangnan Headquarters.
