Li Bai's hundred poems about drinking wine, sleeping in a restaurant on Chang'an Street, unable to get on board the ship after being called by the emperor, claiming that he was a wine immortal. .
"Song of the Eight Immortals while Drinking" by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty
The wine of the ancients is inseparable from poetry. When drinking alone, they often compose poetry, and when having a group banquet, poetry and wine are indispensable. When modern people use two little bees to visit the three gardens and perform drinking orders,
Most of the ancients used poems and couplets to accompany wine to carry out drinking orders.
Drinking parties of ancient literati often turned into poetry gatherings while drinking. It was too common, and many drinking and poetry gatherings have become lies through the ages.
When one person drinks wine, he or she becomes drunk, while when many people drink, they form a poetry gathering. This was often the case among the ancients.
Therefore, it is only normal that everyone at today's reception banquet unanimously agreed to use poetry to accompany wine.
The "occasionally appropriate" suggestion of the official named Wang raising chopsticks also received "positive" approval from many people. They all wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of King Yu, to prove themselves, and worked hard to overpower Zhu Ping'an.
.
If you can defeat Zhu Ping'an,
I believe that with a big and important stepping stone like Zhu Ping'an, they can stand higher, and at least they can save seven or eight years of struggle. This is a good opportunity that only comes once in a century.
It makes me excited just thinking about it.
Therefore, after the official surnamed Wang proposed, many people responded positively. With their efforts, the official surnamed Wang’s proposal became an official title.
chopsticks, chopsticks,
Chopsticks are so common tableware that people cannot do without them every day. However, there are very few poems about them in history. Just like the darkness under the lamp, too few means that it is difficult and interesting.
, everyone at the banquet, even the officials who had no intention of "showing off" and "pressing down Ping An", all looked very interested.
Happy to see the hunting heart.
This is roughly the feeling. Everyone is a literary master who has been tempered by the imperial examination. Poems and songs are naturally not a problem. When encountering such an uncommon topic, I feel so happy that my toes are about to clench with excitement.
Everyone was very interested, and Zhu Pingan would not dampen everyone's interest. The ridicule and provocation of some people did not stir up the slightest disturbance in Zhu Pingan's heart, and he even found it interesting.
Haha, interesting.
Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and glanced at the official named Wang with interest.
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Xiao Zhu speaks well and is full of knowledge. Today I finally have the opportunity to see him. I'm really lucky." The official surnamed Wang bowed to Zhu Ping'an without flinching and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Ping'an has little talent and little knowledge, and I don't deserve it." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and smiled, saying modestly.
"Poetry is a small thing, Mr. Xiao Zhu, please don't be humble." The official surnamed Wang pressed his words step by step, not giving Zhu Ping'an a chance to shirk.
Poetry trail?
As for you, in order to block my retreat, you humiliated all the adults at the banquet who were eager to try.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, the few people around who heard the words of the official surnamed Wang couldn't help but darkened their faces. However, they were all familiar with each other and knew that the official surnamed Wang's words were intended to provoke the general and block Zhu Ping'an's retreat.
If you heard it, just pretend you didn't hear it.
The official surnamed Wang later realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained a few words to the people around him in a low voice. Then he made a serious note to Zhu Pingan in his heart, blaming Zhu Pingan for this mistake.
hateful
You deliberately led me to say the wrong thing. I must overpower Zhu Ping'an in today's poems and express my anger well.
The official named Wang glanced at Zhu Pingan silently, like a cobra.
Forehead?
Blame me?!
Zhu Ping'an noticed the resentful look in the official surnamed Wang's eyes. He was speechless for a while and condensed into one sentence: I have a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not.
The poem meeting is confirmed and preparations begin.
In line with the principle of sharing the appreciation of wonderful works, the servants of Prince Yu's Mansion carried a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide screen into the pergola and placed it in the center of the banquet. The screen was covered with snow-white rice paper and placed on both sides of the screen.
Two tables were set up, and the four treasures of the study were placed on each table.
People can splash their own masterpieces on the rice paper on the screen and display them to the public for everyone to appreciate.
It can display both calligraphy and masterpieces, killing two birds with one stone.
After the arrangement was completed, King Yu sent someone to his study to fetch the two She inkstones given to him by Emperor Jiajing and placed them on the table in front of him.
"As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. Fortunately, my father gave me two inkstones as a gift for today's masterpiece."
King Yu said loudly, taking the two She inkstones given by the emperor as a bonus, and gave them the two best poems in this poetry meeting.
Seeing the two inkstones in front of King Yu's desk, everyone's eyes became hot, just like the general's eyes when he saw the peerless sword.
A good ink stone is as useful to a scholar as a peerless sword is to a general.
The stones used in She inkstones are produced from the lower stream of Longwei Mountain at the junction of Wuyuan and Shexian. They are also called Longwei inkstones. The stones in Longwei River were formed after 5 to 1 billion years of geological changes. The patterns and structures of She inkstones are primitive.
Prominent, mineral particle size is fine, and the particles of quartz are evenly distributed. The inkstone made of this kind of stone can make the ink thicker, slippery without rejecting the pen, and astringent without holding the pen back. When dipped in ink, the writing feels like divine help. It has been favored by calligraphers of all ages.
of praise.
Li Yu, the late leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, praised "She inkstones are the best in the world"; Su Dongpo said, "Astringent does not leave a mark, slippery does not resist ink, melon skin is smooth, golden sound is jade virtue"; Mi Fu said: "Golden Star Song Inkstone, its quality is strong
"Beautiful, the air creates clouds, and the water stored in it never dries up."
Xi inkstones are treasures among inkstones. It is said that one inkstone is worth a thousand gold, and the two pieces of She inkstones in front of King Yu's desk are even more treasures among treasures. You must know that She County only donates at most ten Xi inkstones to the palace every year.
This shows how precious they are. In addition, if you look closely, you can find that the two inkstones are also engraved with the personal seal of Emperor Jiajing, "Lingxiao Shangqing Tong Lei Yuanyang Miaoyi Feiyuan Zhenjun", which makes it even more valuable.
.
The officials were already very excited and interested in hunting. Now that King Yu has added such a big bonus, everyone is even more excited and eager to try.
"Haha, since it is the topic suggested by Mr. Wang, how about Mr. Wang come first?" A close friend of the official surnamed Wang said with a smile.
When the official surnamed Wang heard this, he was secretly happy and gave a grateful look to his friend, "It's not in vain that I often treat you to dinner."
The first one to compose a poem is the most expressive. First of all, the first one to compose a poem takes the shortest time, right? His thinking is quick. In addition, the shortest time is spent and the poems he writes are excellent. That’s because I am good at it.
It’s understandable that the poem I wrote is not good, because I don’t have enough time.
Besides, I really have a good poem about bamboo chopsticks. I wrote it in a flash of inspiration by chance, but I never had the chance to come up with it. I didn’t expect the opportunity to come up now. The ancients said: Two sentences take three years, one sentence
I shed tears. How rare and precious inspiration is. This is God fulfilling my wish, Wang Yaozu.
certainly
It's still necessary to decline politely, but don't make it too obvious.
Therefore, Wang Yaozu declined at the first moment. However, after his friend said something else, Wang Yaozu acted like you are too good to talk and I can't talk to you. He stood up with a helpless expression and agreed:
"Haha, if that's the case, then Wang will show off his embarrassment first."
