Look at the bright moon on Taibai Rock, rest the wind chimes and pour the sweet spring.
Spring-brewed nectar makes people drunk, and poetry adds pride to the sky.
1. Since the advent of Shixian wine, its reputation has spread all over the world.
Wanzhou, the ancient city, is known as the gateway of Bashu, with many rivers, many guests and thousands of merchants. Here, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people, it has always been a place for literati to travel and smelt. There is a Taibai rock in the west of Wanzhou, where the cliffs are towering, the ancient trees are green and the clouds are steaming and the weather is myriad; Five miles north of the city, there is a Xie Fengshan, which stretches for hundreds of miles, with majestic momentum, towering cliffs, misty clouds and beautiful peaks and streams. Both places of interest are related to the poet Taibai. Poetry and wine fall in love, and heaven and man touch each other, and a wonderful and moving story is deduced. ...
In the 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 726), Li Bai, then 26 years old, was in high spirits, and his ambition was: "Strive for strength, aiming to be thousands of miles away"; "Dapeng spreads its wings and is eager to try." He has the great wish that "a gentleman must have the ambition of all directions" and "serve the country with a sword and leave his relatives to travel far away". He went down the Minjiang River, turned to the Yangtze River, sailed to the Three Gorges and passed through Wanzhou. The strange and beautiful scenery in Wanzhou attracted Li Bai. He couldn't help abandoning the ship and heading for Xiyan, which was bathed in sunset glow, like a fairyland. Li Bai came to the mountain, stayed at Xiyan Temple on the cliff halfway up the mountain, watched the bright moon at night, watched the sunrise in the morning, drank wine and wrote poems, and looked at the wild cranes in the clouds, which was like autumn water.
One day, I suddenly heard drums and music. I saw a group of people carrying a big sedan chair, surrounded by a man in official clothes, bustling and jubilant along the mountain road and coming to Xiyan Temple where Li Bai stayed. It turned out that the news that Li Bai arrived in Wanzhou somehow spread like wildfire and spread all over Wanzhou City. Qin Yong, the secretariat of Wanzhou, is also a scholar who loves learning and talents. He was very happy to hear the news. Corporal Telixian walked up the mountain and personally led the crowd to welcome Li Bai into the city. Although Li Bai doesn't like the noise of the world of mortals, his hospitality is hard to be brushed away and carried down the mountain in a sedan chair. It can be described as "a real celebrity, self-romantic." Wanzhou literati is known as Li Bai's poem, handsome and elegant, and it was a sensation for a while, and the whole city competed for beauty. In the backyard of the state capital, Li Bai faced Qin Yong day and night, laughing and holding it in his hand. Father sings poems, and the mountains are high and the water is long. Those students who admire Li Bai go to their home wholeheartedly every day and listen to the teachings with an open mind; And those who are arty and rich are also swarming in, begging for poems and songs in the name of poetry immortals for profit. Li Bai did not hesitate to give advice to the students and did it; Poetry is full of enthusiasm. When inspiration suddenly comes, you can write, laugh and give it away. For the mediocre, simple and slow, dismissive, looking for excuses to thank guests, closed doors. Those who were shut out were disappointed, ashamed, but unwilling. They thought hard and finally came up with a wonderful method, saying that in order to get a banquet in memory of Shi Xian, the squire of Wanzhou would organize a grand "litchi banquet", taste fresh litchi with dew on the green leaves picked from the tree and drink the best wine in Wanzhou. There was a girl singing Zhuzhici at the banquet, and Shi Xian was specially invited. Li Bai was very excited by this feast with unique atmosphere. It turned out that the litchi that Yang Guifei ate was from Fuzhou (now Fuling) via the Three Gorges, turned to Daning River, crossed the plank road, and crossed the Qinling Mountains to Chang 'an. Lizhou and Wanzhou, which are adjacent to Fuzhou, are also rich in litchi. Why is such a good fruit unattractive? The Three Gorges "Zhi Zhu Ci" is well known. Li Bai boated in the river and occasionally heard it. At first glance, his heart was swaying and his shirt was wet with tears! Now I have a chance to listen to gangwon's Bamboo Branches. How can it not be fascinating? As for good wine, it is even more popular, and one day is indispensable. So, he readily agreed.
Wine and litchi, thousands of cups are not drunk; Beautiful girls sing bamboo sticks, but wine is not intoxicating. However, seeing the intertwined flowers, the mountains call for a tsunami; Red scarf and green sleeves, singing and dancing lightly. They surrounded Li Bai and took turns toasting, making endless innovative ways to persuade wine. They decided to get Brewmaster drunk. Qin Yong said, repeatedly escorting, but there is no way to dissuade him! Surprisingly, Li Bai did not refuse to drink the Yangtze River and dry the East China Sea! One after another, those toasts staggered and got drunk, while Li Bai was still laughing and laughing. Everyone looked at each other and spat out their tongues!
At the beginning of the lamp, the bright moon was in the sky, and it was too white to dance and sing by the sound:
Beautiful people who see the bright clouds, think of their clothes and see flowers come to see them.
If it weren't for those jade hills, the directional Yao and Tai would meet under the moon.
That night, I saw a mess of cups and plates, empty pots lying sideways, weeping candles and flower buds standing on the ground ... Li Bai was not drunk, and those with ulterior motives took pains to sum up their experiences and lessons and came to a strange conclusion that litchi might be able to relieve alcoholism. Next time, if there is an opportunity, they will not serve food, but only drink "small wine". So, they encouraged Qin Zuo and Li Bai to play chess, bet on winning or losing with wine, and fined a pot of wine for losing a game of chess. Qin Yong declined and said, "Li Bai is a fairy. Can ordinary people compare with him?" I'm not very good at drinking. How dare I gamble with Dionysus? So they took Qin Yong's chess skills to heaven and promised to drink for him. Qin Yong is a man of temperament and a famous chess player. He can't resist everyone's goading, and it is inevitable that he will be eager to try. He thought to himself, "Li Bai is a poet, a Dionysus, but not necessarily a chess saint." Why not take this opportunity to learn chess and fight it out! "So I reluctantly agreed.
The chess game is located in Xiyan Temple. Black-and-white jade pieces with soft halos are respectively packed in two exquisite porcelain jars; A beautiful green jade chessboard is firmly placed on the huge stone table; Two tall golden pots full of wine pulp stand opposite each other, like two warriors dressed all over, guarding the chessboard-the sacred kingdom of the wise; There are two porcelain stools on both sides of the stone table with brocade mats embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes; The courtyard of the temple is close to the side of the rock wall, and the jars are piled like a wall.
On the opening day, the sky was full of rosy clouds and full of green was everywhere. Songtao bursts in western rocks, such as Tiema Glacier; Yun Zhonghe sound, like a weeping willow shadow. All this indicates that a battle is about to begin, which will be fought with heart and spirit and won with wisdom and strategy.
This is a competition that will be recorded in the history of China culture;
This is a game that is bound to be a beautiful talk through the ages.
Li Bai and Qin Long bowed to their seats. After repeated humility, the chess game finally began in the expectation of everyone. The chess game is located in Xiyan Temple in order to exclude the interference of others. However, despite the strict protection of state soldiers, people who want to see it can't be stopped. The little mountain temple is packed with people. Some climbed the tree to watch the game, while others slid down the vine from the top of the mountain to watch the chess game. Although the audience was blocked, it was silent.
It's really diamond cut diamond. He will meet a good person. This chess game lasts for three days and nights! Look at the shadows moving to the wall, and the morning and evening alternate; Looking at the sun and sinking into the moon, day and night change. The two sides are evenly matched. There is no need to make an appointment to punish alcohol. Li Bai and Qin Yong are playing chess, having fun while drinking. Why do people urge them to persuade them frequently? I saw rows of empty jars piled on the edge of the rock. For a long time, Qin Yong seemed exhausted, but Li Bai was in high spirits. People have to admire it deeply-not only because of their superb chess skills, but also because Li Bai can drink like a sea. On the last night of the chess game, the stars were scattered and the candle shadows were red, which was another fierce battle. When cutting the candle between chess, an old man politely asked Li Bai, "The poet is a good drinker! As straight as taking Beidou as a spoon, the Tianhe wave is fully displayed. However, everyone is drunk, why is the poet not drunk? " Li Bai put down the hip flask and explained the reason with a smile: "The drinker is made by saints and given by heaven." Wine is heaven, and the unknown knows wine? Some people say that Wanzhou has good wine, but it is irritable and impetuous. It can be courageous to drive away the cold, but it can't cultivate sentiment and cultivate spirituality. This kind of wine is not enough for those who are calm as a cloud. How can they get drunk? A drunk person is drunk, and he is drunk himself. Everyone's attitude is not drunk, but lost, lost, lost, lost. People say that flour and rice makes good wine, which is true, but it doesn't do its best. Jiagu needs a good spring: Gu Yang Qi; Fountains are feminine. Brewers, yin and yang are harmonious, so-called chemists are also. Yin and yang turn into wine, and wine has a soul. Drinking will make you tremble, and you will want to sing, scream, fly, and fly. You will live in heaven and earth, and you will drift away from heaven and earth. The soul of man and the soul of wine will be integrated. I was in the wine, the wine was on me, and I forgot both. This is for drunkenness. From this point of view, the wine is strong, the wine is mainly alcohol, and Wanzhou's wine lacks good water and beautiful springs ... "Just then, I saw a golden light in the sky piercing the night sky, dazzling people's eyes, and a golden phoenix flew in. The red beak suddenly snatched the hip flask in front of Li Bai and circled in a circle. The huge wings fanned a whirlwind, disrupting a game of chess, making this game with no ending ulterior motives. Jinfeng nodded frequently, as if calling Li Bai to go with her, and then fell beside him, kneeling on the ground and hanging down her wings. Liberton realized something, as if there was a miracle waiting for him to discover and a mission waiting for him to complete. He jumped on the broad feather back of Jinfeng and hugged its tall and strong neck. Jinfeng spread her wings and soared into the sky in an instant.
Li Bai soared in a phoenix and flew to a mountain. At this time, the east is dim and the sky is about to dawn. With the first ray of morning light, Li Bai saw three characters of seal script engraved on the cliff: Xie Fengshan.
Li Bai, who is talented, knows that this is the place where Jinfeng rests.
I was thinking about it when I heard a long whistle from Jinfeng, and the golden basin in her mouth fell from the air. Li Bai was suddenly surprised and lowered his head. The hip flask flew down like a golden flame and slammed on a rock at the foot of the mountain. There was only a loud noise and the rock was broken open. Clear mountain springs spewed out, flying beads splashed with jade, silvery and gurgling. Water mist around the spring; A faintly visible rainbow jumped into the air, and the rocks suddenly had aura, clouds fluttering and the wind swaying; Mountain flowers bloom instantly, colorful and graceful. The phoenix ring descended slowly and landed by the spring. Li Bai slipped down from the back of the phoenix and selflessly scooped up the spring water. It is so cool and sweet, it is so refreshing and fresh. Li Bai felt that the spring water had its own wine flavor, and he couldn't help crying again and again, "What a beautiful spring water! Thinking is the fountain of wine, the source of wine! "
The villagers were attracted by this miracle and came to watch it. Li Baixi told them about the beauty of this spring and took pains to teach them how to make wine. Since then, the villagers under Xie Fengshan have used Xie Fengquan water to make wine according to the brewing method taught by Li Bai. This wine is colorless and transparent, with strong cellar fragrance, sweet and mellow, harmonious fragrance and clean and refreshing tail. Up to now, there is still an ancient well "Xie Fengquan" in Shixianyuan, which is connected with the "Xie Fengquan" at the foot of Xie Fengshan, and the spring water is connected.
Li Bai saw that the villagers understood the theory of blending wine and heaven, and learned the method of brewing Oracle bones and Jiaquan. Full of joy, they left from the Phoenix and swam around the Three Gorges to see the world. In order to commemorate Shixian, Wanzhou people renamed Xiyan Taibai Rock, and named the famous China wine brewed with "Xie Fengquan" Shixian Taibai Liquor.
Li Bai left Wanzhou with mellow wine, beautiful wishes and beautiful legends. ...
