I like Bai Juyi's sense of ritual in inviting people to drink between the lines of this poem. The newly brewed wine, the red mud stove for warming wine, the weather when drinking, and the care and affection between friends are all described incisively and vividly in this short four-line poem.
I often think that ancient people lived much more freely than modern people, and they also attached much importance to feelings and righteousness. Ritual sense is full of every detail of ancient life, such as reading, playing the piano, burning incense, bathing, drinking and writing poems. Every life scene contains infinite elegance.
Bai Juyi wrote a letter by hand and gave it to a friend. This ritual feeling of inviting people to drink not only gives friends enough face, but also makes the invitation to drink elegant and advanced. Compared with now, we send a WeChat and make a phone call to make up a table. The ancient drinking invitation is so beautiful and picturesque.
Through Bai Juyi's A Suggestion for Friend Liu, we can see the profound friendship between friends. Seeing that it's getting late and the snow is coming, I've prepared new brewed wine. When it's hot, I'm waiting for you to enjoy the snow and taste wine with me. New wine and new stove, one cold and one hot; The friendship between friends and the night on a snowy night are hot and cold. Between these two temperatures, there are night scenes of snow, pictures on the wine table, and even pictures of friends pushing cups for a change. Four poems and twenty crosses give people too many beautiful associations.
I once sent this poem in a circle of friends and friends. In addition to the praise of friends circle, I also invited some friends to enter the game. After a few glasses of wine, I lamented the beauty of this poem.
I think the spread of this poem is an invitation we added when we invited people to drink. A little poem was delivered, and friends readily went to the appointment, and three or two confidants raised their glasses. This is a great event in life!
