When and where was lanling wine Tulip written?

First of all, where is Lanling? No matter what Tang poems and wine poems you appreciate, almost everyone thinks that Lanling is Cangshan County in Linyi, Shandong Province today. Shandong people are more rude. They simply produced the contemporary "Lanling fine wine", and their advertisement can be seen on TV, which is white wine. I looked it up on the Internet and found that only one person objected to it, thinking that "lanling wine" should be Danyang's sealed wine. This person is Luan, director of Jiangsu Geographical Names Professional Committee. His research is a bit off topic, but it is also inaccurate. Strictly speaking, the "Lanling" in Li Bai's poems can only be Changzhou (or Wujin) in Jiangsu.

Cangshan and Changzhou were once called "Lanling" in ancient times, but they were not called "Lanling" in the Tang Dynasty. These two places are closely related. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lanling County was established in present-day Shandong (including Xuzhou), which became a famous city because Xunzi once lived in Lanling. By the end of the Jin Dynasty, a large number of northerners began to move south because of the war. Married with children, a group of Linyi people fled to today's Changzhou (near Danyang) and named Changzhou "Lanling" with nostalgia. As a result, there are two "Lanling" in China, one is called North Lanling in Shandong and the other is called South Lanling in Jiangsu. This is the famous "overseas Chinese residence" in history. Changzhou was called "Lanling" in ancient times, and it was preserved until the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Liang Dynasty. During this period, it was famous for the emergence of several emperors and great writers. Therefore, in the cultural circle, when it comes to Lanling, unless otherwise specified, it basically refers to Changzhou and Nanlanling. Even today, there are still many streets and enterprises in Changzhou named after Lanling.

Interestingly, Changzhou doesn't seem to produce wine today, but there are famous Danyang Feng Liquor and Jintan Feng Liquor around it. Linyi, Shandong Province is famous for its wine production. Ancient jars engraved with the words "Lanling" have also been unearthed in Xuzhou. But this does not mean that 1000 years ago, the "Lanling" in Li Bai's poems was Linyi.

The best way to verify whether the "Lanling" in Li Bai's poems should be Jiangsu or Shandong is to look at Li Bai's contemporaries. If they also say "Lanling", what do they mean? I checked the complete Tang poetry, and it is also mentioned in the poem that there are thirteen * * * poems in Lanling. Except for one song that cannot be determined because it is unknown, the other twelve capitals refer to Changzhou, and none refers to Linyi. For example, Wang Wei's "Answer to Cui Fu Brothers": "Yangzhou has soldiers going to the river and playing flute in front of Lanling Town." Xu Yin's song: "I didn't have a clear dream for three years, but I took the lead for Lanling." Li Jiayou's "Send Liu to Tu Yixing": "Yangxian Lanling is near, Gaocheng is idle with water". Chen Yu's "Send Xin Qiji to Changzhou Province" makes it more clear: "It's not far to go to Lanling's home in the west, and it's still time to pick orchids when I get home." Guo Yun, a local poet in Changzhou, wrote "There is no shortage of cold food and plums": "The women in Lanling are full of Qingchuan, and the suburbs worship ancient bushes one after another."

Li Bai has been to Jiangnan and left many poems. It's all true. Since the Tang Dynasty, some scholars have talked about "Lanling", which basically refers to Changzhou. The reason is actually very simple. Since the Jin people moved south, the influence of Nanlanling seems to be greater than that of Beilanling, both in economic development and cultural achievements. Even in contemporary times, when Qian Zhongshu wrote poems, he mentioned "Lanling", which also refers to Changzhou.

When reading Yuan Mei's Eat with the Round, there are "Changzhou lanling wine" and "Tang poetry has the sentence" lanling wine tulip, jade bowl full of amber light ". After Changzhou, Guo Xiang Liu drank for eight years, and the fruit was amber. Yuan Mei was a great scholar and poet in Qing Dynasty. In his view, it is natural that Lanling belongs to Changzhou.

Explain "Lanling" clearly. Then, what is "Tulip"? Ninety-nine percent think tulips, flowers. No! Tulip is an exotic species. Although I'm not sure if there were any tulips in the Tang Dynasty, the tulips here should smell like "Yujin". Otherwise, the whole poem can't be explained, and besides, it's not a confrontation. The so-called Yujin, as everyone who is engaged in traditional Chinese medicine knows, is a zingiberaceae plant produced in the south of China. "Tang Herbal Medicine": "Living in Shu, Xirong. The seedlings are like turmeric, with red inside and weak stems in late autumn. Its root is Huangchi. " . Li Shizhen said, "Its seedlings are like ginger, its roots are as big as fingers, its elders are a little, and its body is round and horizontal like cicada's belly, with yellow outside and red inside." . This is a far cry from the famous western flower "Tulip". Gong Zizhen's poem "The tulip in the desert is at the arm, and the graceful ancient Yu Pei is at the waist." It is also the fragrant solution of "Yujin", otherwise it won't work.

In ancient China, Radix Curcumae was often made into perfume or used as medicine. It is said that it can promote qi circulation and remove blood stasis, clear heart and relieve depression, and can also treat female dysmenorrhea.

Some scholars believe that the "Lanling Wine" that Li Bai drinks has amber light because it is made of tulip flowers, which is not only bright in color, but also full of fragrance. This is nonsense.

Three.

What is Lanling wine? Why is there amber light?

I don't drink. I know nothing about alcohol. Is lanling wine really a sealed wine (yellow rice wine) as Luan said? I don't know, maybe.

However, the color of wine is amber, which does not mean that it must be yellow rice wine instead of shochu. Ancient shochu may be different from today's shochu (white wine). Bai Juyi wrote such a poem, "Litchi is newly cooked with a cockscomb color, and shochu is amber at first." I have raised this question in the past, and some netizens have explained it.

Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light.

But I got the host drunk and didn't know where it was.

Expressing the sadness of leaving home is a common theme in the creation of ancient poetry. However, although the title of this poem is a guest masterpiece, it expresses the author's other feelings. "lanling wine tulips and jade bowls are full of amber light." Lanling is a place worth visiting, but when it is associated with fine wine, it sweeps away the depression and sadness in a foreign land and has a fascinating emotional color. The famous lanling wine, with tulips as raw materials, has a strong aroma and is packed in a crystal clear jade bowl. Looks like amber. The poet's joy and excitement in the face of wine can be imagined

"But I got the master drunk, and I don't know where it is." These two poems can be said to be both in people's minds and unexpected. It is in people's minds because it conforms to the previous description and the natural trend of emotional development; Strange to say, the topic of "making customers work in China" seems to imply that writing about customers' worries is completely another expression in Li Bai's works. This makes this poem particularly intriguing. The poet is not unaware that he is in a foreign land. Of course, he doesn't want to miss his hometown at all. However, these were diluted in front of lanling wine. A lingering feeling, even being happy to get drunk in front of guests and friends, completely dominated him. It is precisely this poem that is different from ordinary travel from being a guest to being happy and not knowing a foreign country.

Li Bai moved to the east foot after his trip to Chang 'an in the early years of Tianbao. This poem was written in Lanling, Donglu, and taking Lanling as a "guest" should obviously have been written during the Kaiyuan period, that is, before entering Beijing. At this time, the society presents a prosperous scene, and people's mental state is generally high and exciting, while Li Bai values friendship, wine and travel, and the scenery of the motherland is beautiful everywhere in his mind. This poem fully shows Li Bai's uninhibited personality and reflects the flavor of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty from one side. (Yu Shucheng)

"lanling wine tulip, jade bowl full of amber light." This song "Working as a guest" begins like this. Tulip is a fragrant herb. It was used to make wine in ancient times. The wine soaked with tulips is golden yellow and fragrant. Amber, pine and cypress resin fossil, is yellow or reddish brown, and the color of wine is described as crystal clear and lovely here. Everyone knows that Li Bai has a soft spot for wine all his life. As long as there is wine, Li Bai can get carried away. This shows the magical effect of wine on Li Bai. At present, it is also the same occasion, except that the "golden bottle" has been replaced by the "jade bowl", and people are not at the feet of Emperor Chang 'an. Li Bai, who is in the folk, can indulge in wild interests and enjoy himself. The local wine may be even more unique, because this drinking song, which has been passed down through the ages, will only have a lot of wine with the words "Lanling" until now. At this time, the lanling wine in front of us is bright and fragrant. Li Bai sees in his eyes and beauty is in his heart. He can't wait to get drunk at once. However, Li Bai faced more than 10 million feasts in his life. Li Bai may be more unrestrained because of drinking, or he may be more sentimental because of drinking. It is precisely because of this that Li Bai is not a vulgar alcoholic who only knows how to drink and have fun. So this time, Li Bai forgot what homesickness is. Actually, it's not wine, it's a loving host. "But it made the owner drunk, and I don't know where it is!" "Stan" means as long as. So, literally, it is a subjunctive mood, but when we read it, we obviously feel that Li Bai is sure to get rid of the homesickness that has been lingering in our hearts.
