Original text If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.

Don’t you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening.

2. "Drinking Alone under the Moon" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

One

A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date.

Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people in the shadow.

The moon does not know how to drink, but its shadow follows me.

For the time being, the moon will be shadowed, and we must have fun until spring.

My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered.

They make love when they are awake, but they disperse when they are drunk.

We will travel together forever, and we will meet each other in Miao Yunhan.

Second

If heaven does not love wine, the wine star will not be in the sky.

If the earth does not love wine, the earth should have no fountains of wine.

Both heaven and earth love wine, and love of wine is worthy of Heaven.

I have heard that the clear way is like a sage, but when I return to the turbid way, I am like a wise person.

Since the sages have already drank, why ask for gods?

Three cups lead to the road, and one bucket leads to nature.

But if you get the pleasure from drinking, don’t pass it on to those who are sober.

Part Three

In Xianyang City in March, thousands of flowers look like brocade during the day.

Who can be sad in spring alone? He must drink for this.

Poverty and shortcomings are all given by nature.

After being drunk, I lost my world and suddenly found myself sleeping alone.

I don’t know that I am here, and this is the greatest joy.

Fourth

Although there is a lot of sorrow and a little wine, the sorrow will not come when the wine is poured.

Therefore, we know the wine sage, and the heart will naturally open up when the wine is intoxicated.

In today’s world, people are not happy to drink. It’s just a false reputation.

The crab claws are gold liquid, and the hills are Penglai.

You must drink fine wine and ride on the moon to get drunk on the high platform.

Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunkard Pavilion" also contains a description of drinking. Wait a lot.

Hope it helps! 2. Toast words in ancient Chinese

"My heart is trembling and my hands are trembling. I will bring this man a drink. I will be happy after he drinks it. If he doesn't drink it, I won't leave. I just won't leave." I just won’t leave!” When people from the north are having a drink together, they have to come up with a strong excuse to say something about “asking you to buy another drink.” Li Qu was dismissed and had to drink. He also had to find a reason to go down the stairs.

For example, "I would rather hurt my body than my feelings this time" - even if I risk my life to accompany a gentleman. This war of words usually occurs after the host, deputy host and guest of honor have received and reciprocated three rounds of three cups of ceremonial wine. Everyone has moved from being tipsy to half drunk. "She Chuyan" says that "wine is a ritual" and "wine is a joy".

In ancient times, the provocateur was called "觞正" or "Jiujiu", but now he is called the Jiu Commander. That official rank was achieved by drinking hard by oneself.

Naturally, this gentleman (or sister) thought that the wine cup was too small, so he planned to spend a long time persuading him to drink the wine for three cents, but it was not worth it, so he took three tea glasses and put them away, "flat" Drop a pound of five-star brand Erguotou wine (a regular tea cup contains three taels and three cents, and the remaining one cent is called "wealth" by the Chinese), hold two of them in both hands, and "drink" them step by step: "I'll drink first as a token of respect! "The bottom of the cup in the backhand is turned upward, which confirms that shrimp farming is no longer possible (referring to leaving the bottom of the wine). There are two main purposes for this double cup: First, the identity has changed from "I" to "Your Majesty". From then on, "when you ask your ministers to drink, they must drink". This is the hard truth.

For example, in Chapter 40 of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Yuanyang, who is a maid, first drank the wine and became strong and rational: "No matter whether I am superior or inferior, I am the master." Secondly, it is publicized through personal testimony. Entertainment rules for the banquet: Today I will drink two cups in front of me and order everyone to drink one cup in the back. That is to say, in terms of drinking capacity, I will take the initiative to lose first. In terms of etiquette, everyone will not be able to bear to refute my face.

The theory is based on, "If you want everyone to drink well, you have to drink it first!" The other cup left just now is the preset national standard. This man follows this level in order from left to right. When the wine is full, he holds it with both hands in order, standing down and waiting humbly. This means convincing people with reason and subduing them with etiquette.

In this circle, he will have to compete with "three kinds of people", what Huang Jiuyan calls good drinkers, those who never drink, and those who can drink but don't drink. The first type of people are cheerful and cheerful, "those who are good drinkers need no persuasion", and the reason is all in the glass of wine.

The second type of "cannot persuade those who have never drank". They are physically or psychologically insulated from alcohol, so they can give it a try. War of words often starts with the third type of "people who can drink but don't drink".

"So I don't drink" can be subdivided into three categories: First, I feel so submissive, akin to feeding a duck, which doesn't improve my mood, so I make a show of being unwilling to drink. The excuse is, "I am afraid of being embarrassed because I don't drink too much, so I restrain myself from drinking." You must urge, "We are all close friends when we get together, let's have a relaxing drink."

The other party is here again - "Thousands of rivers and mountains are always in love, can you not drink this cup?" At this time, you must be full of emotions and have a strong attitude to fall into his arms, "A big river has wide waves, this cup of wine You have to do whatever you say!"... As soon as the meat bangs were heard, the person who responded to the color would be able to drink the color. The second is those who are slick and henpecked and are prepared to act later. The reasons they cannot put on the table are, "My wife has told me when I come here to drink less liquor and eat more vegetables."

The excuse put on the table is "sickness". As he spoke, he took out the pills his wife had put in beforehand from his pocket as evidence.

After all, the drunkard is well-informed and has already prepared "three things that cannot be ignored" waiting for him: "a red-faced man with long braids and white pills on his body." There is also information that General Xu Shiyou dealt with this group of people in three sentences.

"Henpecked"? ——It’s not honorable to be henpecked. You argued that the doctor wouldn’t let you drink it. His second sentence was, "Afraid of death?" - Afraid of death and it is dishonorable.

You had no choice but to drink a drink, and he released the third sentence, "You know how to drink, but you tell lies, and you will be fined three more drinks!" The other type of people are cold-blooded or stubborn. He can control himself, not be affected by the atmosphere, and will never be flattered.

The drinker began to tease him with words like, "I have weak feelings and can't drink." He was unmoved.

Tickling again, "The emotion is shallow, lick it, the emotion is deep, a mouthful is stuffy, the emotion is iron, drink it and bleed." He had made up his mind, no matter how true or deep your love is, not drinking is the last word.

When a good show gets stuck here, it often fails to go smoothly. The author has seen three ending methods that are not considered a failure.

First, the drinker couldn’t get off the stage, so he had to use wine to cover his face and play tricks. He said in vain: "My heart is trembling and my hands are trembling. I will teach this gentleman (or leader depending on the situation) This wine makes me happy. If I don’t drink this, I won’t leave. I just won’t leave. I just won’t leave!” Under the ardent expectations of the surrounding people, no matter how cool the person is, he may face this situation at this moment. There is no other choice. This method of persuading people to drink originally had a very romantic and wonderful version, which can be seen in the toasting song of the grassland people of Inner Mongolia. One cup".

The person toasting the toast will stand next to you while playing the matouqin and sing the lyrics over and over again until you finish drinking.

The second type is that in the middle of a bad relationship, Cheng Yaojin appears halfway, that is, the aforementioned "drinker who is good at drinking without asking for advice." This kind of friend most hates the idea of ??delaying others' drinking by fighting a lawsuit for drinking, so he comes forward at this time. The closing poem is "Show your hand in times of danger, take action when it's time to take action, brother, let me drink for him", and the problem is solved.

This classic scene also sees many heroes rescuing beauties. One kind of impasse is when the two sides refuse to give in to each other and end up confronting each other: one side is quarreling, "You are not a gentleman, and you are not a husband if you don't drink!" The other side is fighting with each other, "The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, who is drinking today?" Who are you afraid of?" He tilted his neck to drain the existing wine in the cup, then each of them placed an empty cup under the table, each picked up a bottle of Erguotou and poured it blindly.

Put it back on the table for everyone to witness, whoever is less will punish themselves and start over again. Seeing those who are drunk will turn into "like mud".

Comedy often becomes farce. 3. Classical Chinese Translation

There was a scholar named Che. His family was not very wealthy, but he loved drinking. If he didn’t drink three glasses of wine every night before going to bed, he simply couldn’t sleep, so he would sit next to his bed every night. There is always some wine in the wine glass. One night while sleeping until midnight, Mr. Che turned over and felt as if someone was sleeping on the bed with him. He thought the clothes covering him had fallen off. I reached out and touched it in the dark, and felt a furry mass, which looked like a cat but was bigger than a cat. After lighting the candle, I saw that it was a fox. He had obviously drunk too much and was curled up sleeping. Mr. Che looked at the wine bottle on the bedside. It was empty. So he smiled and said to himself: "It seems that this is my drinking buddy." I couldn't bear to wake the fox, so I covered him with a quilt, lay on the bed with him, and lit a candle so that I could observe him. action. Sleeping until midnight, the fox stretched himself. Mr. Che said with a smile: "You slept very soundly!" After saying this, he lifted the quilt covered by the fox and saw that the fox had turned into a handsome scholar. Hu Sheng woke up with a start and quickly fell to the bed, thanking Che Sheng for not hurting him while he was drunk. Che Sheng said: "I am addicted to drinking, but no one else understands me. You are my best friend. If you don't take offense, we will be drinking friends from now on. What do you think?" Hu Sheng happily agreed. , and Mr. Che told Fox that if you like, you can come to my place often to have wine and chat. After a night of silence, the two went to bed.

When Che Sheng woke up the next morning, he found that Hu Sheng had left. He specially prepared a jar of good wine and planned to drink together when Husheng came again in the evening.

In the evening, the fox boy came as expected, and the two of them had a drink together. Husheng drinks a lot and likes to tell jokes. The two met late and became very attracted to each other. Hu Sheng said: "I always come to drink your wine. I'm a little embarrassed. How can I repay you?" Che Sheng said: "A little wine is nothing. How can I say that I can't repay you in return?" Hu Sheng said. : "That won't work. You are not from a rich family, and money is not easy to come by. I think it's better to do this. Let me help us get some money for drinks."

Another night, Hu Sheng came again. He went to Che Sheng's house and said, "You, walk seven miles southeast from our house. There is money lost by others on the roadside. You can use it for us to drink." When daybreak, Che Sheng followed Hu Sheng's instructions. After looking in the direction pointed out, they found some money on the roadside and bought some food and wine. The two of them had a good meal in the evening. A few days later, Mr. Hu pointed out to Mr. Che again, "You didn't know there was a cellar behind your courtyard. You can dig it out and take a look when you have time." When Che Sheng dug, he found a lot of money. Mr. Che was happy now and said to the fox, "That's enough. We have plenty of money now. We don't have to worry about running out of money to drink." The fox said, "Although this is a lot of money, it will be spent one day. It’s not a long-term solution. You have to make long-term plans.”

Another day while drinking, Husheng said to Chesheng: “Look, buddy, the buckwheat seeds on the market are relatively cheap now. You can save some, and you will be able to sell it at a good price in the future." Che Sheng listened to Hu Sheng's words and bought more than 40 shi. People who knew Che Sheng laughed at him and thought he was crazy. Unexpectedly, not long after, there was a severe drought in the area, and all kinds of crops died. Only buckwheat was not afraid of drought. So Chesheng sold the buckwheat seeds and earned ten times the price. From then on, Chesheng became a little prosperous. He built a house and bought land. To put it simply, just ask Husheng before planting and follow his instructions on what to plant and earn money.

As time went on, the relationship between them became better. Husheng called Chesheng’s wife sister-in-law, and treated Chesheng’s son as well as his own son. Later, when Che died, the Fox Fairy stopped coming
