Li Bai once said: "The sober people and saints in ancient times have been forgotten, and only great drinkers can be immortalized." In ancient times, drinking must be poetry, and many people's works after drinking can be passed down through the ages. Famous ones are Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Li Qingzhao, but when it comes to loving wine and knowing wine, the name Su Dongpo cannot be avoided.
Su Shi loves wine to the point of infatuation. In more than 300 words, wine appeared more than 90 times. His masterpieces, Niannujiao River Don't Return, Fu on the Red Wall and When the Moon Tunes in the Water, are all drunk. Wine gave him literary thoughts and inspiration, melted into his sadness and turned it into magnificent poems.
"It's all wine that makes me famous. From his illness, he forgot his worries. "We can see Su Shi's deep fate and sincere love for wine.
Mr. Dongpo has an indissoluble bond with wine all his life. We can feel the indissoluble bond between Su Shi and wine from the sentence "I am famous for wine, but he forgot his worries when he was ill" in Su Shi's Two Rhymes of Wang Dingguo: Drinking Jin Sake at Night.
A poet who can't drink is not an expert who knows philosophy and can make wine.
This person who is a poet, an alcoholic, a philosopher, a master brewer and the first author of professional winemaking monographs is Su Dongpo!
What is interesting in the world is happiness, and all this actually comes from love!
We can't imagine how Su Dongpo spent those cold winters without wine during his decades of frustration and relegation.
Su Dongpo's life has a story. In addition to his life, he also has his sister Chao Yun and wine. There is no wine. He makes his own wine. When Su Dongpo, who loves life, meets wine, Su Dongpo appears in the world.
He can't drink very much, and he will get drunk when he drinks, but it doesn't affect Mr. Dongpo's love, and he is often laughed at by a bunch of drinkers. Ouyang Xiu, an alcoholic, is the idol of Mr. Dongpo. Every time he drinks, Dongpo gets drunk first. Su Dongpo is very cunning about his capacity for liquor. He said two contradictory words, "The world can't drink, and the world can't drink." The meaning is quite contradictory. One is that he can't drink in the world, which means he can't drink well. The other is that he is the best drinker in the world. It can be seen that Su Dongpo is drunk.
In the philosophy of wine, Su Dongpo is a Taoist. Su Dongpo is a Confucian on whether to get drunk or not. He listened to Confucius very much. Confucius said, you can drink, but you can't get drunk, because getting drunk is a shame. Su Dongpo also tried not to get drunk. He told his friend, "Don't think too much, I have to listen, and I am crazy and full of courage when I am drunk." Don't advise me to drink more, I will lose my temper if I drink too much. In his later years, he wrote a self-narrative in the biography of melon seeds in eastern Sichuan:
"If you drink all day, it's just five in one. If you don't drink in the world, you are happy to drink. If you see a guest holding up his glass and Xu Yin, you will feel rich and comfortable in your chest. You'll be too guest. If you are idle for a day, there will be no guests. If you were a guest, you wouldn't stop drinking. If you drink in the world, there will be no guests. " He is better at tasting wine than binge drinking.
So, what does Su Dongpo look like when he is drunk? Su Dongpo once blew himself up after being drunk: "Ask Zhu Li half awake and half drunk, and the bamboo thorn collapses a little." But looking for cow dung to find the way home, the home is in the cowshed, west. "Su Dongpo drank too much wine and couldn't find his way home. He knew that his home was near the cowshed, so he simply walked along the road with cow dung and walked all the way to the cowshed. It is estimated that he finally slept with the cow all night.
Master brewer Su Dongpo
From Huangzhou to Huizhou, wherever he went, the official prohibition of alcohol was not implemented, so he combined the cultural characteristics of various places to make wine. However, Su Dongpo found that there was no monopoly system in Huizhou, and every family made their own wine. So Su Dongpo followed suit to make wine. The first wine made by Su Dongpo was called Luo Fuchun. The name "Luofuchun" is taken from the famous Luofushan in Huizhou, and Su Shi once advertised his wine. He boasted that "three mountains are close at hand and don't go home. Let's drink to Luo Fuchun".
Su Dongpo also brewed a wine called "Wanjiachun". He said that the wine he brewed recently is called Wanjiachun, which is also a kind of wine that Lingnan people like. It can be seen that Su Dongpo's wine is probably good to sell.
When he was demoted to Huangzhou, Yang Shichang, a Taoist priest in West Shu, taught him to make wine. When he was in Dingzhou, he created "Zhongshan Songlao", brewed osmanthus wine and Zhenyixian wine in Huizhou, and "Asparagus Winter Wine" in Danzhou, Hainan, and so on. Add a little fun to your boring and sleepy life.
People in power are basically given drinks by others, but Su Dongpo has been demoted and has no rights at all. Therefore, drinking is basically self-produced. Su Dongpo's wine-making is in harmony with the people at the right time. He has been demoted from Huangzhou to Huizhou and to the ends of the earth, which is officially forbidden. Therefore, Su Dongpo can combine the cultural characteristics of various places and enjoy brewing in his boring, frustrated and even poor life.
People in China pay attention to dietotherapy, so Su Dongpo thinks that wine is also an important food for health. Based on this principle, Su Dongpo vigorously developed health wine.
He invented "real wine", and he wrote a "real wine song", saying, "Mr. Yuan You can only be treated like this, but after drinking this wine and taking this medicine, he lives in this hall." Su Dongpo said that he doesn't eat or drink, and he drinks this kind of wine specially, which is an absolute nourishing health wine.
Su Dongpo made a lot of wine in his life. In fact, he is not a genius in brewing, but his good temper brings him good luck. Everyone knows that he likes to drink and make wine, and many fans give him the secret recipe of making wine.
He first got a secret recipe from a Taoist priest and invented mead. When he was in Hainan, he got a secret recipe from a hermit and invented Gui Xiang wine. Su Dongpo said: "I live in a secluded sea and need a few drinks to protect myself, but there is no alcohol ban in Lingnan. Some hermits taught me with cinnamon wine, which is jade-colored, detached and fragrant, and impersonal. " It seems that Su Dongpo's wine is the best in the world.
Let's enjoy Dongpo's poem about cooking wine, which is wonderful.
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. -"When will there be a bright moon?"
After drinking wine, my chest is still open and my temples are slightly frosted. What's the harm! -"Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting"
The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. -"Set off a storm, don't listen to the sound of leaves in the forest"
The sun is shining, but he is too thirsty. He wants to find some water to drink. So he knocked on a villager's door and asked, can I have a bowl of tea? -"Huanxisha, rustling clothes and towels falling jujube flowers"
