On a stormy night in the late Tang Dynasty, a flickering light shone on the wooden door of an old tavern. At the door, a middle-aged man in plain clothes slowly pushed the door open, and the rain slid down his robe. He has a faint smile on his face, but his eyes reveal the vicissitudes of life. This man is the famous poet Nie Yizhong in the late Tang Dynasty.
The tavern was smoky and noisy. Nie Yizhong walked through the crowd and found a corner to sit down, gently holding a wine jug that was already slightly heated in his hand. His eyes seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, back to those days of poetry and wine. A poem came to his mind—a short cross poem, which not only shows his love for wine, but also reflects his deep insight into life.
This poem is "Drinking Pleasure". In Nie Yizhong's pen, these short ten words contain profound philosophies and endless stories. It is this poem that shows Nie Yizhong's amount of wine, which is almost comparable to the sea, as well as his deep understanding and unique emotions about wine.
As the night deepened, the lights in the tavern reflected the faces of Nie Yizhong and his literary friends. Their chatter and laughter echo through the tavern, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.
Nie Yizhong raised his wine glass, his eyes flashing with love for life: "In this troubled world, all we can have is the wine in the cup and the poems in the pen." ”
A literary friend took over the conversation: "That's true, Brother Nie. Wine can be intoxicating, and poetry can be comforting. In these turbulent times, it is a great comfort in life to be able to drink with you and other gentlemen. ”
Nie Yizhong nodded and said with deep feeling: "The world is impermanent, only wine and poetry live up to us." Whenever I raise a glass to invite the moon, I always feel that I can have a dialogue with great people from ancient and modern times. ”
Another literary friend smiled and said, "Brother Nie, your way of drinking is really unique, and you can find poetry in wine." ”
Nie Yizhong smiled and didn't answer, just gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the wine swayed in the glass, as if telling a story from a thousand years ago.
At this time, a young poet walked over cautiously, holding a book of poems in his hand: "Mr. Nie, I have always admired your talent, I wonder if I can give you a few words?"”
Nie Yizhong opened the poetry book with a smile, looked at it a few times, and then said seriously: "Young man, poetry is like life, and everything is renewed in a moment. Your poems are full of feelings and scenes, but they also need to be full of the true meaning of life. ”
The young poet listened respectfully, his eyes shining with a thirst for knowledge.
Late at night, Nie Yizhong stood up and said to the people in the tavern, "Where are you waking up tonight?"Jiangshan dreams of finding another place. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and you can rest when you are drunk. ”
Everyone raised their glasses, drank the wine of the night, and appreciated the poetry of this moment. In these chaotic times, they found ephemeral solace and eternal soul through wine and poetry.
In the tavern late at night, Nie Yizhong and his literary friends had gradually exhausted their wines, but the conversation was still strong. They had an in-depth discussion around the poem "Drinking Pleasure". “
Brother Nie, your "Drinking Pleasure" is really wonderful. A poet friend exclaimed.
Nie Yizhong smiled slightly and responded, "Wine is my response to this world. My poems are just a few emotions under the wine. ”
Another literary friend interjected: "But Brother Nie, these few feelings of yours have exhausted the voices of all of us. ”
Nie Yizhong picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, as if he was reminiscing about something: "Wine, for me, is not only a pastime, it is also an attitude towards life. In this glass of wine, I saw the joy and sorrow of life, and the prosperity and loneliness of the world. ”
You can say that again. The young poet whispered, "Mr. Nie's poems have made me understand that drinking is not only intoxication, but also a comprehension of life." ”
Nie Yizhong nodded and continued: "Everyone has their own way of drinking, and my way is to find the true meaning of life in every drop of wine. ”
So, what did Brother Nie find tonight?A civilian asked curiously.
Nie Yizhong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Tonight, in this glass of wine, I saw the warmth of friendship and the pride of the literati. ”
Then, he stood up and recited aloud a few lines from "The Joy of Drinking", each word full of love for wine and a deep understanding of life. In his voice, it seems to contain infinite emotion for the world and a deep insight into life.
After hearing this, all the literary friends couldn't help but fall into contemplation. In Nie Yizhong's verses, they find a new understanding of life and a new hope for the future.
In the twilight of the tavern, Nie Yizhong sat around with his friends, the aroma of wine and poetry intertwined. He raised his glass and chanted softly: "The sun and the moon seem to have something, and they travel for a week in one night." His voice echoed through the room, as if echoing the passage of time.
A friend smiled and asked, "Brother Nie, what do you mean by this?"”
Nie Yizhong put down his wine glass, and his eyes flashed with a deep light: "The heavens and the earth are so vast, and the sun and the moon move so fast, showing the shortness of life. In this short life, sorrow and happiness can not be relieved by getting drunk in wine?”
Another friend nodded lightly: "Brother Nie's words have won the hearts of the people. Indeed, life is too short, so why not use wine to drown your sorrows?”
Nie Yizhong smiled faintly, and then said: "Life is like passing water, we can't control the passage of time, but we can choose how to spend every moment. Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to grasp the present and celebrate every moment of life with wine. ”
A literary friend sighed: "Brother Nie is really open-minded, it is rare to be able to maintain such a mentality in this troubled world." ”
Nie Yizhong smiled slightly and responded: "In life, there will inevitably be sorrows and joys. But as long as there is poetry in your heart and wine in your hands, why not be afraid of wind and rain?”
As the night deepened, so did their conversation. Under the guidance of Nie Yizhong, everyone shared their views on life and their understanding of wine. These conversations are not only verbal exchanges, but also heart-to-heart collisions. In this turbulent era, they found a brief peace in wine and the revelation of life in Nie Yizhong's verses.
As the lights in the tavern became softer, Nie Yizhong's conversation gradually turned to deeper philosophies. He continued to talk about the impermanence of life and the solace of wine, his voice rising and falling in the room, like a low but powerful music.
The grass and trees are still old, how can there be no worries in life?Nie Yizhong pondered, unconsciously filling his hand with a full wine glass. "Look at the plants and trees in this autumn, although they are short, they are also full of life. Life is the same, short and precious. But the gloomy clouds and mist will inevitably envelop my heart. ”
The literary friend next to him took over the topic: "What Brother Nie said is extremely true, life is like a dream, a hundred years of time, fleeting. But if the sorrow can be dissipated with the wine, why should it be too persistent. ”
Nie Yizhong raised his wine glass slightly, his eyes deep: "Indeed." Wine can make people forget the worries of the world for a while. When the aroma of wine is permeated, the sorrow of life seems to drift away. Therefore, drinking this cup with you is the best time to forget all your worries. ”
Another literary friend responded with a smile: "Brother Nie's words can always hit the centerstring. Drinking is not only a delicious taste, but also a kind of spiritual liberation. ”
Nie Yizhong smiled slightly, shaking the wine glass gently, as if he saw the mystery of life in the swaying wine: "Life is short, just like the plants and trees in this autumn, you will eventually grow old." But what we can do is enjoy every moment in our limited time. ”
Their conversation slowly unfolded in the tavern, and everyone was touched by Nie Yizhong's words. In those turbulent times, they searched for the meaning of life in the wine glass, soothing the soul with poetry. The night was getting darker, but in their hearts, it was warm and bright.
In that dim tavern, Nie Yizhong and his friends continued to drink. They sat around an old wooden table, their glasses glowing golden in the light. Nie Yizhong's topics range from poetry to life, from history to philosophy, causing the people around him to laugh from time to time.
A friend smiled and said, "Brother Nie, your words are always so insightful, as if a glass of wine can see everything in the world." ”
Nie Yizhong shook his head lightly and responded modestly: "Don't dare to be, it's just a bit of drunken nonsense." But it would be my pleasure to comfort your hearts in this way. ”
A literati next to him took over the conversation: "Well said, Brother Nie." In this troubled world, it is a rare blessing to have wine to drink and poetry to sing. ”
Another friend said with emotion: "Yes, although we can't control the world, we can at least find temporary comfort in this glass of wine." ”
In the corner of the tavern, several passers-by were also attracted by Nie Yizhong's conversation, and from time to time they cast appreciative glances. There is a kind of magic in their topics that can soothe people's anxiety and confusion in these turbulent times.
As the night deepened, Nie Yizhong's conversations with his friends deepened. They discussed the true meaning of life and exchanged hopes and dreams for the future. In this tiny tavern, they find a special connection, a resonance in difficult times.
Eventually, as the night wore on, they each got up to say goodbye. The moment they leave the tavern, everyone's heart is filled with a new understanding of life and new hope for the future. On that night, Nie Yizhong's drinking with his friends was not only a pleasure of wine, but also a spiritual exchange and enlightenment.
