Drinking on a snowy night

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-04

"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? ”

Recently, it has snowed heavily in Anhui Province, and I can't help but think of Bai Juyi's fresh and gratifying little poem. When it comes to wine, there are so many stories. Wine has a long history, as if it has been flowing since the beginning of human settlement. Nowadays, whether it is a gathering of relatives and friends, or a business contact, it is indispensable to put a few bottles of wine on the table and hold a few loves. Although alcohol is not allowed at official receptions, some openings are made, or they are secretly drunk. In short, Chinese people are in contact with each other and do not drink a few glasses of wine, which is not only sorry for tradition, but also sorry for feelings.

As a result, wine occupies a special position in the life of the Chinese people, and whether to drink or not, whether to drink more or less, has a special significance.

Far away at the turn of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Zhou metric system was used for fun, including a "Wine Edict", warning Yin Shang to indulge in wine, and then the lesson of dying the country, warning Chinese that drinking must follow the etiquette law. To this day, even though winemaking no longer affects people's food security, and there are various legal and illegal hallucinogens and narcotics, drinking alcohol still follows certain etiquette or rules. Needless to say, the main escort, the deputy escort, the third escort and the fourth escort of Shandong customs, even in the south, there are unwritten drinking rules such as customs clearance and thunder. In short, drinking alcohol in China is both a personal pleasure and a social life.

We say that you should drink in moderation and not overindulge, and this is from the perspective of the body. On the other hand, drinking is about feelings, and drinking is about atmosphere, so in some cases, you must not drink, or even take the initiative to drink. In this regard, I believe many friends have a deep understanding. So it leads to a lofty word: wine culture.

It is not known whether wine has a culture or not. However, there are not a few words about wine handed down from the history of our country, such as "Li Baidou Wine Poems 100 Articles", "Persuade the Jun to Have a More Glass of Wine", "Poetry and Wine Take Advantage of the Youth" and so on. It is not so much that Chinese are good at wine, but that Chinese have a rich spiritual world, and wine is just one of the manifestations and media.

Saying this is not to justify drinking, people have the right not to drink, and of course they have the right to drink, as long as they don't drive after drinking. People are born with birth, old age, sickness, death, can't beg, love parting, resentment and other pains, joy is so short! Born in a prosperous age, the suffering of life has been reduced, and the joy of life can be increased, which is already a great blessing, so I really have no position to blame anything for living with wine.

It's almost the Spring Festival again, and it's another peak of liquor consumption. Suffice it to say, my lovely compatriots, drink as you want! Life is short for a few autumns, don't get drunk and don't stop! Even if you are not drunk, don't worry about it!
