He zhangzhi
He Zhangzhi first appeared in the Eight Immortals. He is the oldest of them. In Chang 'an, he used to "solve scarabs for pleasure" (Li Bai's Preface to Celebrate Wine). The poem says that after he was drunk, he rode like a boat from side to side and felt dizzy. He fell into the well and fell asleep in it. According to legend, "Ruan Xian was drunk and rode on a horse, and people said,' The old man is like swimming in a boat'" (four words by Wang Ming in Du Yi). Du Fu vividly used this allusion to describe He's drunkenness and drunkenness when riding a horse after drinking, full of humorous and cheerful emotions, and vividly showed his broad-minded and reclusive character.
04 Ruyang Wang
The second character is Wang Lixian of Ruyang. He was the nephew of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was very popular for a while. The so-called "frequent kindness from the Lord" and "multiple flesh and blood" (Du Fu's "Gift to the Prince's Taishi Ruyang County King"), so I dared to drink three fights before going to court to visit the son of heaven. His drinking psychology is also different. On the way, he drooled at the sight of the curved car (that is, the wine car) and wanted to move his fief to Jiuquan (now Gansu). Legend has it that "there is Jin Quan at the door, and the spring tastes like wine, hence the name Jiuquan" (see Three Ji Qin). It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the royalty was qualified to attack the fiefs. So, among the eight people, only Li Xian will arouse the idea of "moving fiefs", and no one else will dream like this. The poet grasped the characteristics of Li Xian's royal birth, and described his hedonic psychology and drinking behavior in detail, which was true and measured.
05 Li
Then Li Lai. In the first year of Tianbao, he succeeded Niu Xianke as the left prime minister. He was a good guest and was rewarded in the evening. He spent thousands of dollars on drinking, and the amount of alcohol he drank was like a whale swallowing a hundred rivers. In one sentence, he pointed out his luxury. However, the good times did not last long. Tianbao five years is suitable for Li's exclusion. After the strike, he will have a drink at home with relatives and friends. Although the wine is still rising, he can't help complaining. He wrote a poem: "Avoid the sages and strike first, and the sages win the cup.". How many guests will come to ask the front door? " ("Old Tang Book"? "Biography of Li") "A cup of music is called avoiding sages", which means using Li's poems. "Le Sheng" means that he likes to drink sake and "avoid being virtuous", that is, he doesn't drink turbid wine. Combined with the fact that he went on strike, "avoiding sages" is a pun, which means satirizing Li. Here, grasping the gains and losses of power and portraying the character, an important aspect, carefully depicts the image of Li, which contains profound political content and is very intriguing.
06 Cui Zongzhi
After the three dignitaries were shown, two handsome celebrities Cui Zongzhi and Su Jin followed closely. Cui Zongzhi is a charming and handsome romantic figure. He drank too much, so he raised his glass, looked up at the sky, and looked at everything, but no one looked. Drunk, like Yushu swaying in the wind, I can't help it. Du Fu described Zongzhi's handsome figure and chic drunkenness with "Yushu facing the wind", which was very charming.
Su Jin
Sima Qian's Historical Records is good at expressing characters' ideological character with contradictory plots. Du Fu is also good at grasping contradictory behaviors and describing characters' personality characteristics. Su Jin indulged in meditation and fasted for a long time, but at the same time he was addicted to alcohol and often got drunk. He was in a contradictory struggle between fasting and drunkenness, but the result was often that "wine" defeated "Buddha" and he had to "escape meditation while drunk". In two short poems, Su Jin's personality characteristics of drinking like a dog, indulging in excess and having no scruples are humorously displayed.
li po
After the above five minor figures were presented, the central figure Li Bai made a grand appearance. Poetry wine has an indissoluble bond with Li Bai. Li Bai himself said that "36,000 cups must be poured every day for 36,000 days in a hundred years" (Xiangyang Song) and "Xing Han put pen to paper to shake the five mountains" (Song on the River). Du Fu's description of Li Bai's poems highlights Li Bai's hobby and poetic talent. It is not surprising that Li Bai is a heavy drinker and often sleeps in restaurants in Chang 'an when he is drunk. The phrase "the son of heaven doesn't board the ship" suddenly makes Li Bai's image tall and strange. After Li Bai was drunk, he was even more bold and unrestrained. Even if the emperor summoned him, he was not so respectful and afraid, but proudly shouted, "I am Brewmaster!" " It strongly shows Li Bai's character of not being afraid of powerful people. Although it may not be true, The Son of Heaven Never Boats is very consistent with Li Bai's ideological character, so it has high artistic authenticity and strong artistic appeal. Du Fu is Li Bai's confidant. He grasped the essential aspect of Li Bai's thought and character, and romantically exaggerated it, and shaped Li Bai into such an artistic image of being unruly, wild and unrestrained, and despising feudal princes. This portrait, full of vigor and vitality, has both form and spirit, and shines with the ideal brilliance of beauty, which is unforgettable. This is the romantic image of Li Bai that people have loved for thousands of years.
09 Zhang Xu
Another important figure who keeps pace with Li Bai is Zhang Xu. He is good at cursive writing and drinking. Every time he gets drunk, he screams and walks wildly, and his pen is full of changes. If God helps him "(Du Yi, Volume I). At that time, they were called "Cao Sheng". After three cups of drunkenness, Zhang Xu's lofty sentiments were unrestrained, and wonderful cursive script flowed from his pen. Ignoring the dignity of the dignitaries, he took off his hat and showed his head in front of the prominent princes. He writes freely and freely, and his words are like flowing water. How disdainful and informal it is to "take off your hat and show your face in front of princes" It shows Zhang Xu's unrestrained and independent personality.
10 jiaosui
The figure behind the house in the song is Jiao Sui. In the Tang Dynasty, Jiao Yuan called Jiao Sui a cloth in Ganze Ballad. Jiao Sui got drunk after drinking five times. At that time, he looked even different, talking a lot, and talking a lot, which alarmed the people present for dinner. The poem depicts Jiao Sui's personality characteristics, emphasizing his outstanding knowledge, eloquence, accuracy and prudence in writing.
