1. The ancients used wine to say farewell poems
Ever since Cao Cao said "Why can only Du Kang relieve worries?" He said the special effect of wine - to relieve worries, wine has become a gift among ancient literati. The things you like are endowed with rich connotations and frequently appear in poems and songs. Among the many connotations, wine, as an aesthetic carrier of sadness, is most easily recognized by authors and readers.
There are many works with distinctive and unique styles in ancient poetry. Some are elegant and elegant, some are melancholy and tragic, some are exquisite and handsome, and some are extraordinary and sincere. The themes of poems are generally nothing more than frontier fortresses, travellers, complaints, landscapes and rural areas, and the grievances of friends and relatives. However, no matter what the style or the subject matter, generally when the word "wine" appears in a poem, it will be more or less tainted with wine. A kind of melancholy.
"Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the ancient battles", "A glass of dirty wine can lead to thousands of miles, and there is no way for Yan Ran to return", etc. are all written generously and tragically, and contain patriotism. , people are moved, but what touches people's hearts even more is the hint of desolation and sadness hidden in it. And "I read the sword while drunk and blew the trumpet in my dream" adds a touch of majesty. "You can laugh a few times in your life, but you have to get drunk when you meet in a drinking competition" adds a ray of optimism to it, but its tone is tragic and tragic. It is also a touch of sadness that further highlights the magnificence of his heroic image, and the carrier of this meaning is "wine".
Loss and frustration are the common emotions of many literati. Li Bai's "If you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, don't let the golden cup empty to face the moon", Su Shi's "When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky with wine", etc. are all works that "use wine to relieve sorrow". Their ambitions are hard to realize, their ambitions are hard to reach, and their bosom friends are hard to find, so they can only talk to each other over wine, and there is a saying: "A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date; raising a glass to the bright moon, facing each other to become three people", "Life is like a dream, The sigh of "a bottle of wine will return the moon over the river", the anger of "the five-flowered horse and the golden fur, the call will be exchanged for fine wine, and I will sell the eternal sorrow with you". And this kind of sadness, "cutting off the water with a knife, the water will flow more, raising a cup to relieve sorrow and sorrow will become more sorrowful" is an emotion that the poets try their best to cover up but unintentionally express throughout the whole poem. Although there is a saying that "when you are happy in life, you must drink too much, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon", but this kind of "pleasure" is actually the sadness of loss. Without wine, there is no relief, and it has to end up in "a sad dream when you wake up from the wine" , but the setting sun shines deep into the courtyard."
Parting and farewell emotions are the mainstream emotions in poetry, and they are inseparable from "sorrow and melancholy", so they have an indissoluble bond with wine. "Leaning alone in the bright moon on a high building, the wine enters the sad heart and turns into tears of lovesickness" makes people sad; "When does a bottle of wine, the emphasis and details" also expresses great sadness; "Dongli puts the wine after dusk, there is a faint fragrance "Puffing sleeves" is full of emotions, and "I urge you to drink another glass of wine, leaving Yangguan in the west without any old friends" is full of farewell.
"When will the golden bottles open again on Shimen Road?" The longing for the full bottles and so on are all described by later generations, and the most touching thing among them is naturally the sadness contained in the wine. Not to mention the intensity of "I am just as drunk as usual, and the wind and moon all over the river make me sad for others"; the cold farewell of "Where can I wake up from drunkenness tonight, on the bank of willows, with the waning moon in the morning breeze". And wine, a magical thing, is the embodiment of many emotions.
Of course, among the many sorrows, there is indispensable the sadness of idleness in "The first taste of green wine makes people drunk, and they sleep under a small window" and "Thousands of poems, thousands of wines, how many times have I set my sights on it" Look at the aloofness of the prince.
Looking at ancient Chinese poetry, as long as wine is involved, there will generally be a trace of sadness, because the thousand-year history of wine has given birth to the unique connotation of the thousand-year wine culture, which is "using wine to relieve sorrow" ". This unique connotation has been cleverly, naturally and creatively endowed with richer connotations by ancient Chinese poetry writers. 2. Poems about farewell
