The original green
Before I went to Jiuquan, my impression of Jiuquan was that it was a satellite launching base, where rockets carrying satellites rose up into the sky in the vastness of the Gobi!
This is the prominent memory I have of the news broadcast on TV about the Jiuquan satellite launch.
When I was invited to Jiuquan, I was still a little excited to go to a mysterious place where people can't go.
When I arrived at Jiuquan, I realized that it was named because of the spring, and also because of the wine.
One said that the spring water of the wine spring like wine is generally sweet and refreshing, mellow and fragrant, so called wine spring.
It is said that General Huo Zaiwei was given a jar of wine by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his great victory over the Xiong Nu, and in order for General Huo to let the three generals **** enjoy the "Emperor's grace", he poured the wine into the springs, which were filled with the fragrance of the wine, and the aftertaste was endless.
On an evening in June 2019, I stood by the side of this famous spring and watched the clean spring water gush up from the bottom of the spring, blossoming into a lotus flower on the surface of the water, and then rippling with the waves of the water laughing and flowing into the distance.
This is the place where General Huo Zaiwei and the generals drink "wine spring", the square next to the spring is a tall and imposing sculpture, vividly reproducing the scene of their "drinking wine to celebrate their success".
This sculpture, this Jiuquan Park, also known as the "Western Han Dynasty", fully demonstrates that the people of Jiuquan has been recognized as Jiuquan is because of the story of Huo Zhaodi called Jiuquan.
But Li Bai did not think so, Li Bai must think that the wine spring is because of the wine spring water like wine general mellow called wine spring. He also wrote this as a reason into his famous "Drinking Alone Under the Moon": If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there is no wine spring on earth. If heaven and earth do not love wine, it is because there is no spring of wine in the earth. I have already heard that the clear is better than the holy, but I have been told that the turbid is like the wise. Why seek the gods when the wise and the holy have already drunk? Three cups will lead to the Way, and one bucket to nature. But the fun of the wine, do not be awake for the rumor.
This almost straightforward poem was written by Li Bai when he was about forty years old in the imperial capital Chang'an.
Li Bai "laughed up at the sky and went out the door, my generation is not the people of Artemisia." I realized in Chang'an that everywhere is a rivers and lakes, where the horizontal and vertical Chinese characters are so clear and easy to learn?
Li Bai can write poems painfully, where in this world can do things painfully?
"The things that are not as good as I would like them to be are often nine or nine times, and I can talk to people about them without two or three."
The career is not as good as it should be, so he can only "drunkenly Qiankun is big, the sun and moon in the pot is long."
He wrote four songs in one breath to express his state of mind here and now, which also constituted Li Bai's drunkenness theory system that influenced the future generations.
The first song: "A pot of wine in the flower room, drinking alone without relatives. The first song: "A jug of wine in the flower room, drinking alone without relatives. The moon does not know how to drink, and the shadow follows me. The moon will be my companion for the time being, and I will be able to enjoy myself in the spring. I sing to the moon, I dance to the shadows. When I wake up, we are happy together, but when we are drunk, we are scattered. We will be together forever, and we will be far away from each other in the clouds." Li Bai put the flowers, the moon, wine, these beautiful things and his lonely figure cleverly constructed a "shadow into three people" romantic picture, across the millennium, is still in the heart of the culture of the uninspired.
The second one is the theoretical core of the literati to drink and get drunk, "Heaven and earth both love wine, love wine is not ashamed of heaven", how justified? "Sage has been drinking, why should I seek the gods?" How impassioned? "Three cups of wine will lead to the Way, and one bucket of wine will harmonize with nature", how heroic! "But the fun in wine is not to be passed on to those who are awake." How self-congratulatory!
The third: the city of Xianyang in March, a thousand flowers day like brocade. Who can spring alone sad, this path must drink. The poor and the short, the creation has always been endowed. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal on this. When I am drunk, I lose heaven and earth, and I am alone on the pillow. I don't know that I have my own body, and this is the most joyful thing I have ever experienced. In the beautiful Chang'an, where flowers bloom, and in the bustling imperial city where the flow of water is endless, but he himself is nameless and lonely, so he can only "lose heaven and earth when he is drunk, and lie alone on his pillow." To drown their sorrows in wine, but also complacent, "I do not know that I have my own body, this music is the most even."
The fourth song: poor sorrow ten million end, wine 300 cups. The first one is about the fact that the wine is not a good choice, but it is a good choice. The first is that the wine is a great gift, but the second is that the wine is a great gift. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. If you don't enjoy drinking in the present day, what is the use of a false name? The crab's cheeks are the golden liquid, and the bad hill is Penglai. I'm going to drink wine and get drunk on a high platform by the moon. Drinking wine by oneself, thinking of other people's misfortunes by one's own misfortunes, and after thinking about it, one still comforts oneself with the thought, "If one is not happy to drink wine in the present time, what is the use of a false name?" Drinking alcohol also needs silver, think of their own deflated pockets, so "Crab cheeses are golden liquid, bad hill is Penglai."
Li Bai in this famous night, think of wine springs, think of their own unsatisfactory first half of life, so the moon drinking wine, boldly established his "drinking theory", and a lifetime of justified drinking, but also often get drunk, and the wine has formed an unbreakable relationship with the wine, into the wine, and also because of the wine, and also because of the wine death. Also left behind the influence of his poetry: drinking! The image of his drunkenness and haze of the "Poetry Immortal" has been fixed.
My teacher Tang Xingshun students once wrote a miscellaneous article "Li Bai drinking who pay? In fact, I know that the literati drink is not to care who hosts, as long as there is wine to drink, just say big words, bragging is good.
"I don't know if it's true that Li Bai wrote a lot of poems related to wine, but it's true that he wrote a lot of poems related to wine, and later on, people persuaded the literati to drink and used this saying as the best reason to do so. I can't drink, but I like to dance and write, and I've been victimized by this sentence.
Sometimes I still think stupidly, I can't write a good article, is it because I can't drink?
The first thing you need to do is to get drunk before you dare to say something big.
Li Bai must have been drunk to have so much courage, let Yang Guifei grinding ink, let Gao Li Si take off the boots, the achievement of the literati arrogance and vanity, became Li Bai's most awesome beautiful story.
Li Bai really drank to a height that is hard to climb in later generations, a realm that is hard to be surpassed by later generations. Because of Wang Lun's a few altars of wine, he wrote a deeper friendship than the water of the peach blossom pond "Peach blossom pond water is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun sent me love". Because of the happy drinking in the mountains, "two people drink mountain flowers, a cup and a cup again", "I am drunk and want to sleep and go away, tomorrow morning intends to hold the qin." Because of "I have no time to worry about my life, let's drink wine and climb up a high building", I realized that "the water flows even more when I draw a knife to cut it off, and I have to raise a glass to drown my sorrows." Because "life is not satisfactory", he "will distribute the flat boat tomorrow." He recognized himself as "Why is the wine star banished to earth?" He even drank wine and asked, "Please try to ask the east flowing water, who is the shortest and longest with whom I want to part?" He has been advocating that "the bells and drums are not expensive, but I wish to be drunk for a long time and do not want to wake up. All the sages of the past are lonely, but only the drinkers keep their names." He even said, "A horse with five flowers and a thousand furs of gold, and a child who calls out for a fine wine, and with him, we can dispel all the sorrows of the past." But he always believed that "the long wind will break the waves sometimes, hanging straight from the clouds and sailing across the sea." So, from Chang'an out, or to do the Yong Wangfu staff, after the defeat was exiled to the ancient country of Yelang ......
It is said that Li Bai is also in a moon is very beautiful night, in the Dangtu river canoeing, drink too much wine, see the water is very beautiful reflection of the moon, they reached out to capture, unfortunately lost his footing and fell into the water, to Li Bai romantic way to end his drinking, and also to the end of Li Bai romantic way. The way to end his drinking, but also the end of his literary sense of the beautiful life.
I know that Li Bai was romantic enough, but I find it hard to convince myself that Li Bai would have died in such a romantic way. I do believe that Li Bai either died of drunkenness or old age and illness, which is more logical for our real life.
A friend in Jiuquan proudly told me that Li Bai is the ambassador of Jiuquan, and that Li Bai's home is not far from Jiuquan, in Chengji, Longxi. I know that was Li Bai's ancestral home, and later his ancestors were exiled to Shattered Leaves. Li Bai's childhood was actually spent in Jiangyou, Sichuan. But I believe that Li Bai should have been to Jiuquan, Jiuquan, also drank the "wine" water, because he later "sword to the ends of the earth", walked through the motherland so many great rivers and mountains, will certainly go to the Jiuquan, where his "Jiuquan!
The first time I saw the "Drunkenness Theory", I saw the "Drunkenness Theory", which is the source of the "Drunkenness Theory", and the "Drunkenness Theory".
Jiuquan not only in the legend of Li Bai, but also in the pride of Zuo Zongtang. Zuo Zongtang all the way to the west, recovered Xinjiang, but also along the way planted countless "Zuo Gong Liu", to the northwest of the dry earth left a green barrier. Zuo Zongtang also left the Jiuquan this famous "Jiuquan Park", Jiuquan people say this is China's first open to the public in the true sense of the "park".
From Jiuquan back nearly three months, three months, I have been thinking of Jiuquan, thinking of Li Bai and Jiuquan relationship. Today, I knocked out this short article to save Jiuquan and Li Bai's Jiuquan in words, but also rewrite my perception about Jiuquan.
