"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a cup of nothingA song by Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen" expresses the elegance of being accompanied by wine on a snowy day. Snow days seem to have always been drinking days, and snow and wine have been a perfect match since ancient times.
Yuan Hongdao, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Drunk snow is suitable for night, and it is also clean." "Drinking on a snowy night is a great way to appreciate the whiteness of the snow.
Jin Shengsi, a literary critic in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, commented on "The Legend of the West Chamber" and said that "drinking on a snowy night" is one of the thirty-three happy things in life.
Scholar Deng Yunxiang also described the big wine vat like this: "On a snowy night, on the road where the north wind is howling, or at the corner of the alley, I see a small shop with red lights from a distance, that is, the big wine vat, go, there is warmth there, go in and buy a wine to eat!."”
Wine and snow seem to be born to be a pair of best friends, and when drinking on a snowy day, different people always have different moods:
Drinking on a snowy day, Bai Juyi's mood is to miss his friends. When he was drinking on a snowy night in Luoyang, he thought of the past when he drank with his friend Liu Yuxi and lamented the changes of the years - "We are both lazy gardeners, and we share depression, rain and snow." Drink wine and sell forever in the night, and smile to send the old year. ”
The mood of the lyricist Zhou Bangyan is that the beautiful scenery needs to be accompanied by fine wine. When he saw "the branches of the trees falling and flying feathers, and the eaves and teeth hanging on the eaves" - on the treetops, the snow flakes fell like feathers, and the eaves, hanging with crystal water droplets, he couldn't help but admire, such a scene needs a glass of wine to match.
The combination of snow and wine, not only full of warmth, but also very poetic, the winter is getting colder, in addition to choosing to cook tea around the stove, warm wine, you may wish to drink on a snowy night like the ancients when the snow is falling in the sky, in the silk sweetness, enjoy the winter rhyme.
