Based on the content of The Drunkard Pavilion, let’s talk about why Ouyang Xiu originally called himself Drunkard.

When Ouyang Xiu was first demoted to Chuzhou Mountain Township, he called himself a drunkard. He was old, weak, and sick. He was about to bid farewell to officialdom and go to the shore of Yingshui River to spend his old age, so he changed his name to Liuyi layman. A guest asked: "Six Day, what is it about?" The layman said: "I have 10,000 volumes of books hidden in my house. My ancestors have collected 1,000 volumes of inscriptions on gold and stone from the Zhou and Qin Dynasties to the Five Dynasties. There is a qin and a qin. A game of chess and a pot of wine are always prepared. "The guest said: "These are only five items. How do you say 'six one'?" The layman said: "Including me, an old man, who is old among these five items. Go, isn’t this June 1st?”

The year Ouyang Xiu wrote "The Drunken Old Man's Pavilion" was 1046, that is, when he was 39 years old. Why did he call himself "Old Man" in his prime? Based on the previous article, Ouyang Xiu was devalued politically, and his heart was inevitably full of depression. At this time, wine became a good medicine for him to relieve his worries, and drunkenness became a way for him to forget his frustrations. Therefore, he became particularly sensitive to "wine", especially "drunk". The word "drunk" reflected his loss and pain of entertaining landscapes and using wine to relieve his worries and drink away his sorrows; at the same time, in the past, Behind "Weng"'s self-deprecation, there are hidden sighs and sighs that his achievements have not yet been completed and that time has passed.

Conclusion: Ouyang Xiu calls himself a "drunkard", but in fact he laments that his achievements have not been accomplished and his time has passed
