Li Bai has written a hundred poems on drinking, and the wine merchants sleep in the streets of Chang’an; the Son of Heaven calls for him without getting into the boat, and claims himself to be an Immortal in Wine.
–Tang Du Fu’s “Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking” (饮中八仙歌)
Ancient people’s wine is so hard to part with poetry, when drinking alone when poetry, collective feast time, it is not less poetry and wine singing and harmony. In the modern people with two small bees, stroll in three gardens ah line of wine, the ancients are mostly poetry with wine, couplets with wine, so as to line of wine.
Ancient literati wine party, often are drinking and drinking logically become poetry, too common, and many wine poetry will also become a thousand years of falsehoods.
One person I drink wine drunk, many people drink wine into a poetry meeting, the ancients are often like this.
Therefore, it is only normal that the crowd at today’s reception banquet unanimously agreed to use poetry to accompany the wine.
Wang officials to raise chopsticks as the title of the “seasonal” proposal, also got a lot of people “positive” agreed, they all want to take this opportunity to perform in front of the Yu Wang, to confirm their own, and drums want to pressure Zhu Pingan head.
If you can pressure Zhu Pingan to a head of words ……
I believe that there is Zhu Pingan such a weighty tall stepping stone, they can stand higher, at least can be less struggle for seven or eight years, this is a hundred years are rare a good opportunity ah.
Think about it all excited ah.
Therefore, after the official surnamed Wang proposed it, many people responded positively, and with their efforts, the official surnamed Wang’s proposal became the official title.
Chopsticks, chopsticks, but ……
Chopsticks are too common a utensil, people can’t live without them every day, but poems with them as the title are few and far between in history, just like the darkness under the lamp, but fewer also means more difficult, interesting, and all the people at the banquet, even the officials who had no intention to “show” and “suppress the peace and security”, all had the same intention.Even the officials who had no intention of “showing” or “overpowering Ping An” were all very interested.
Seeing the hunter, they were happy to see him.
Roughly this is the feeling, the people are all literary experts who have been honed by the imperial examinations, poetry and songs naturally do not matter, encountered such an out-of-the-way topic, the joy of the hunt, excited toes are going to fasten.
The crowd is interested, Zhu Pingan will not sweep the crowd of interest, some people’s flirting and provocation, can not set off half a wave in Zhu Pingan’s heart, and even find it interesting.
Oh, interesting.
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and swept a glance at the official surnamed Wang with interest.
“I’ve heard for a long time that little Lord Zhu is a great speaker and full of experience, today I finally got the chance to see a bit of it, it’s really fortunate.”Without flinching, the official surnamed Wang arched a bow with Zhu Pingan and hooked his lips slightly upwards.
“Ping An is not well educated, I am ashamed.”Zhu Pingan shook his head and smiled, humbly saying.
“Poetry Little Doyle, little Lord Zhu don’t be modest.”The official surnamed Wang pressed on with his words, not giving Zhu Pingan a chance to shirk.
Poetry Xiao Dao?
You’ve gone so far as to belittle all the adults at the banquet who were eager to try in order to block my way out.
Zhu Pingan could not help but laugh.
Sure enough, around a few people who heard this sentence of the official surnamed Wang, could not help but darken their faces, but a few of them are familiar with each other, know that this sentence of the official surnamed Wang is in order to stimulate and block Zhu Pingan’s way back, heard it as if they did not hear it.
The official surnamed Wang realised that he had said the wrong thing, and was busy explaining to the people around him in a low voice, and then in his heart, he gave Zhu Pingan another account, and blamed Zhu Pingan for this mistake.
Damn it.
Deliberately luring me to say the wrong thing, I must press Zhu Ping An in today’s poetry, and properly vent my anger no.
The official surnamed Wang silently glanced at Zhu Pingan like a cobra.
Eh?
I’m the one who’s to blame!
Zhu Pingan noticed the resentful eyes of the official Wang, a speechless choke converged into one sentence: I have a sentence I don’t know if I should say.
Poetry will be determined, began to prepare.
In the spirit of the principle of the common appreciation of the strange text, Yu Wang Fu’s subordinates will be a three-metre-long two-metre-wide screen carried into the pergola, placed in the middle of the banquet, the screen covered with snow-white rice paper, screen on both sides of the two tables, the table is placed on the four treasures of the literary house.
People can put their own masterpieces, waving the ink on the screen on the rice paper, show to the public, convenient for the public to appreciate.
Not only can display calligraphy, but also can display masterpieces, two birds with one stone.
After setting up, King Yu also had someone go to his study to fetch the two Sheyan inkstones that Emperor Jiajing had rewarded him with and placed them on the table in front of him.
“As the saying goes, a precious sword is given to a hero, I am fortunate to have been given two pieces of the Imperial gift of composite inkstone by my father to present today’s masterpiece.”
King Yu said aloud, treating the two pieces of Sheyan inkstones given by the Emperor as a prize, bestowing the two best masterpieces of this poetry meeting.
Seeing the two compliant inkstones in front of Yu Wang’s table, the eyes of all the people were hot, just like a general seeing a supreme sword.
A good inkstone of the literati, the role is no less than a great sword of the general.
She inkstone used she stone produced from wuyuan and shexian junction of dragon tail mountain stream, also known as dragon tail inkstone, dragon tail stream of she stone are after 5-10 billion years of geological changes to form, she stone pattern structure ancient and simple outstanding, fine mineral grain size, particle quartz distribution uniformity, with this kind of she stone made of xi xi inkstone, hair ink yi hao, slippery does not refuse to pen, astringent does not stagnate pen, dip ink waving, pen as a god, by successive generations of calligraphers praised.
The South Tang Dynasty after the Lord Li Yu praised “She inkstone A world”; Su Dongpo said “astringent does not stay pen, slippery does not refuse ink, melon skin and gauze, gold and jade virtue”; Mi Fu said: “Venus Song inkstone, the quality of its firm and beautiful, gas gas clouds, water storage does not dry up!”.
Open and close the ink stone is a precious ink stone, there is an ink stone of gold, and the Yu Wang table in front of the two pieces of Sheyan is the treasures of the treasures, we must know that Shexian County each year offered to the Palace of the open and close the ink stone up to only ten, which can be known to the extent of its valuable. In addition, if you look carefully, you can find these two inkstones are also engraved with Jiajing Emperor’s personal seal “Lingxiao Qing Thunder Unity Yang Miao Yi Fei Yuan Zhenjun”, which is even more valuable.
The officials were already interested in the hunt, and now Yu Wang added such a heavy prize, the crowd is even more excited and eager to try.
“Hehe, since it was Lord Wang who suggested the topic, how about Lord Wang going first?”A close friend of the official surnamed Wang laughed.
When the official surnamed Wang heard this, his heart secretly rejoiced and he sent a grateful look to his best friend, it’s not in vain that I often invite you to dinner.
This first up to poetry, the most performance, first of all the first poetry, no matter how to say, with the shortest time is it, the talent agile ah; In addition, with the shortest time, do the poem outstanding, that is my own great, do the poem is not good, but also excusable ah, I use the time is short ah.
Besides, I really have a good poem about bamboo chopsticks. It was made by a flash of inspiration, but I never had the chance to show it, so I didn’t expect the opportunity to come now. As the old saying goes, “Two lines are worth three years, but two tears flow from a single verse”. Inspiration is so rare and precious. This is God fulfilling me, Wang Yaozu.
Of course.
A polite refusal is still necessary, and you can’t show it too obviously.
So, Wang Yaozu first politely refused, but after his friend said another sentence, Wang Yaozu made a look like your mouth is too good I can’t say it, made a helpless expression and got up to respond, “Oh, in that case, then Wang Mou will be the first to throw a brick to attract jade, to offer a clown.”
