Su Dongpo's birthday talk about mood

This is the story of "Singing for Poetry". One is lucky to get the master's original work, but the difficulty lies in how to skillfully seek the word "golden girl". "Music for Poetry" is a "golden idea". This story can be summarized by "throwing bricks to attract jade" or "the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine"

Offering music and seeking poetry

20051February 19 Dongpo's birthday, Yuanfeng bought wine at rocky mountain in Chibi, lived on the peak and leaned against the magpie nest. When the wine is full, the flute sounds on the river. The guests are Guo and You Ersheng, who are quite close friends. It is said that Poe said, "The sound is original and not vulgar." When asked, Li Wei, a scholar, heard about Po's birthday and wrote a new song called "Flying to Henan" as a gift. Before calling it, it was just a green scarf and a purple waist flute. When I was playing a new song, I quickly made some tricks. Suddenly, the sound of rocks breaking came from the clouds, and all the guests were drunk. I didn't ask the public for anything, but I got a quatrain! Poe followed it with a smile. "Lonely crane flying south on the mountain, take me south to nine books. Everyone in the lower world plays the flute, and when they are poor, they commit qiuci. "

December 19th, the fifth year of Yuanfeng, was the birthday of Su Dongpo in Song Shenzong. Su Dongpo celebrated by drinking in Chibi, Huangzhou. Everyone sits on the top of the river overlooking the magpie nest. When the wine was hot, they suddenly heard the melodious flute on the river. There are also two guests named Guo Heyou, who are very familiar with the melody and said to Dongpo, "This flute is innovative, but it is not played by ordinary musicians." So Su Dongpo sent someone to ask who was playing the flute. It turned out to be a Jinshi named Li Wei. He heard that today is Su Dongpo's birthday, so he specially wrote a new flute "Flying South" to celebrate. Dongpo invited him to the front. It turned out that he was just an ordinary scholar, wearing a green scarf, purple fur and a flute in his waist. He has played a new song, so let him play a few more. The flute went up into the sky, shaking the rocks, and the guests were drunk as a fiddler. So Li Wei took out an excellent piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "I don't want you to give me anything more. I hope it will be very satisfying to get a quatrain you wrote. " Dongpo smiled and agreed, saying, "Lonely cranes fly south on the mountain. Take me to Jiuyi Mountain. Who is playing the flute in the world? Fortunately, Qiuci's tone is also changing. "
