Why did Tang Priest in Journey to the West drink?
I think all your friends have seen The Journey to the West, which is simply a childhood memory. There is also the protagonist Tang Yan, who is known as a monk and a Buddhist. There are many rules and regulations in Buddhism. As a monk, Tang Priest strictly abides by them. For example, don't kill, don't be near women, and so on. But in Journey to the West, Tang Priest once drank wine. What happened?

When it comes to Tang priest drinking, many friends say that he shouldn't? Isn't he the most disciplined? How is it possible to drink? Luo Ji didn't make it up. He really drank it. In the story, when the Tang Priest said goodbye to Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin once practiced for him. When he practiced, he poured him a glass of wine.

At first, the Tang Priest refused, but Li Shimin said that this wine was "plain wine". Jade Emperor, you can safely drink. When the Tang priest wants to drink, he adds a little soil to someone else's cup. Why add soil? Because the King of Tang hoped that the Tang Priest would remember the taste of his hometown and let him go home early.

Later, on the way to learn the scriptures, many people invited him to drink vegetarian wine. But these people are not Li Shimin after all, and the Tang Priest refused. However, one Tang priest did not refuse. This man is the king of the daughter country. This is understandable, after all, such a beautiful young lady, she let me drink, let alone drink. I can drink an altar.

So up to now, the problem has come. Wine is also divided into meat and vegetables? There is vegetarian wine. Do you have meat wine? It seems that all wines are made from grains, right? Here we are, Luo Ji will come to solve the problem for everyone. What is vegetarian wine? In fact, it is not that there is no meat in the wine, but that the wine has not been distilled.

Why do some people give up drinking? Because alcohol can confuse people and amplify all emotions, when emotions are amplified, people will have all kinds of messy desires. This is why we need to control alcohol intake. The wine that has not been distilled has a low degree of alcohol, and it will not go to the head after drinking, causing unnecessary desires. That's why it's called vegetarian wine

The Buddhist rule of not drinking alcohol is to hope that monks will always keep a clear head, so as to be sincere to the Buddha and not disrespectful to the Buddha. But even vegetarian wine depends on talent, right? Elder Tang is actually quite powerful.
