Xiao Hong wrote in "Memories of Mr. Lu Xun": "Mr. Lu Xun likes to eat a little wine, but not much, eat half a small bowl or a bowl. This impression is similar to what Yu Dafu wrote: "Although he (referring to Lu Xun) does not have a large amount, he always likes to take a sip." Regarding what kind of wine Lu Xun drank, Xiao Hong said: "Mr. Lu Xun eats Chinese wine, most of which is Huadiao. Yu Dafu said in more detail: "After arriving in Shanghai, most of what I drank was rice wine. But he also drank five plus peels and white roses, and he also drank beer and brandy, but he never drank much. Lu Xun said: "I don't drink much." When I was young, my mother often mentioned how bad my father was when he drank, and my mother said that when I grew up, don't drink alcohol, and don't be ...... like my fatherSo I don't drink much ......Never got drunk ......”

In a letter to Yang Hui, the poet Feng Zhi wrote about the scene of drinking with Yu Dafu, which was full of poetry, "He asked me to come to his house and drink a little baigan. The return is the slanting sun that lightly dyes the forest tops, the crescent moon is like an eyebrow, and I am drunk! "Feng Zhi also went to the tavern. In Harbin, for a while, "soaking in the tavern became almost his homework every evening". In a letter to Yang Hui, Feng Zhi wrote: "Sometimes Tong Chunpu went to the tavern on the street in the middle of the night to drink a little wine. In the wine, I always talked about friends in Beijing and Tianjin; Thus spent the long winter nights of the Northland. Feng Zhi wrote in the preface to "Journey to the North and Beyond": "The snow gradually increased, the ground gradually became white, and the nights gradually lengthened, so I couldn't help but go to the hotels of the Shandong people to drink the sake of their hometown." ”

Drinking alone is lonely, drinking, and it will be lively as soon as there are many people. In the 30s of the 20th century, under the auspices of President Yang Zhensheng, National Qingdao University invited a large number of writers and scholars to teach. Liang Shiqiu wrote about the "Eight Immortals in Wine" of National Qingdao University in the article "Eight Immortals in Wine - Remembering the Old Tour of Qingdao". At that time, the mood in Qingdao was bleak, "so every weekend, I would gather to drink in the restaurant, and I had the joy of wandering." The amount of wine is "one jar per night", the wine set is a "big and shallow" wine bowl, and the drinking method is "one bite and a big bowl, dripping with pleasure". After drinking, "a big bowl of hot and sour fish soup" is used for decanting. In addition to Liang Shiqiu, the writers on the table also included Yang Zhensheng, who was "well-styled" and "full of romance", Wen Yiduo, who "drank hard and was familiar with Lisao", and Fang Lingru, who "had Yongxue talent" and "diluted simplicity".

The scholar and poet Zhu Ziqing also had times when he was drunk, and even spoke English after drinking. He also warned himself in his diary, "Don't drink too much in the future, quit it." Zhu Ziqing's diary also recorded Zhu Guangqian's alcohol consumption. On February 7, 1941, Zhu Ziqing attended the dinner party of General Feng Yuxiang, "We dined under the blooming plum tree, the sun was warm, warm and pleasant", Zhu Guangqian also participated in the banquet that day, and the diary wrote: "When I met Meng Shi (Zhu Guangqian's character), I found that he drank a lot of alcohol, especially better than me. On October 23, 1943, Zhu Ziqing attended a banquet held by Feng Zhi and his wife in the Western Building, and wrote in his diary that day: "Feng drank a lot of wine, giving people the feeling of 'jar'. ”

In Yan Wenjing's writing, Zhao Shuli, who lives in Beijing's hutongs, is often accompanied by a little wine. "He loves wine, but not in large quantities. He often goes to a tavern at the mouth of the alley to drink alone. Several times he said to me proudly, 'Three dishes and one soup for dinner today'. Without waiting for me to ask, he said the 'three dishes': one is peanut kernels, the second is dried tofu, and the third is garlic sausage. Etcetera. It's just that I forgot what the 'first soup' was, nothing other than 'two pots' or some other wine. ”

The poet and translator Mu Dan also drank alcohol, and in Wu Ningkun's impression, "Liang Zheng likes to drink a drink, but never excessively, and sometimes he rides to an old shop in Guanyinhao to buy some sauced beef and other wine and food, and brings me a drink." Three cups and two lamps under the stomach, the sea and the sky, 'know everything, say everything'. In his later years, Mudan "drank a little wine a day, but not much." Sometimes, Mu Dan would have a few drinks with his little poet friend Guo Baowei. In the dimly lit bungalow at No. 70 East Village. Mudan once said: "I can sober up with a glass of wine." So, Mu Dan, who was on a crutch, commanded Guo Baowei to fry the peanuts, "After the peanuts were fried, two cups were taken out, and we sat down across the table to drink." He didn't drink much, but the joy of his conversation inspired him, infected me, and filled the already dark hut. In the poem "Winter", Mu Dan wrote: "I love to finish my favorite work quietly in the light sun on a short-lived day; It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's cold and dusk, and I'm going to irrigate my heart with a glass of wine. Life is meant to be a harsh winter. ”

Tai Jingnong often said: "Drinking hard and talking about divorce can be a celebrity." "I have heard this a lot, and I don't know who comes first and who comes last. Tai is also a good wine person, can get the fun of wine, and there is also a set of rhetoric to persuade wine, often using wine to dispel the heat to persuade people to drink in summer, and to persuade people to drink in winter with wine to keep out the cold. There is also a famous quote that says, "Drinking is often dead." "However, drinking alcohol did not prevent Tai's rice from dying. The so-called "drink pleasantly, drink big hurt", although this thing is cute, you should not be careless.
