The profound friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun.

Li Bai, a poet, traveled all over the world, not only traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, but also left the poet's footprints and seals in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui at that time. Huangshan couple Taiping Lake is a famous mountain in southern Anhui. Downstream of Taiping Lake, there is a place called Taohuatan. At that time, Li Bai, a poet, drank and sang with Wang Lun, a villager here, which has become a much-told story.

When Li Bai lived in Xuancheng, it was the year of An Lushan mutiny. "Looking at Luoyangchuan, the vast Hu Bing. Blood stained with weeds, the jackal crowned. " The poet is full of worries and sighs because of the misfortune of state affairs and the suffering of the people. When he is in a hurry, he naturally drinks to drown his sorrows. The wineries in Xuancheng, large and small, are places where he can solve his worries. It turns out that he has an indissoluble bond with wine. At this time, it is even more "five flowers and ten thousand horses, thousands of gold jewelry, and give it to the boy in exchange for good wine. Who will sell it with you will always worry." It seems that he wants to stay drunk for a long time and forget his troubles and worries.

At that time, there was a scholar named Wang Minglun who lived in seclusion in a mountain village in Jingxian County. This Wang Lun is also a man who does not seek fame and has no intention of official career. He married farming and mulberry, enjoyed rural life, and drank some homemade wine and sang a few words in his spare time. "EU, EU will stop. Going home, 18 years old can't stop. " When the poet Li Bai returned to the mountain with gold, he hoped that Li Bai would visit southern Anhui, but Li Bai traveled all over the world from south to north, and he came and went in a hurry and never met. Now that Li Bai lives in Xuancheng, he feels that this is an excellent opportunity, and he really wants to invite Shi Xian to come home to drink, sing and talk. But he and Li Bai are strangers, how can they invite each other rashly?

Wang Lun knew that Li Bai's drinking was as famous as his poems. He is not only a poet, but also a Brewmaster. "Cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, and let me have 300 bowls and a long drink!" , this is mortal dare to boast? Li Bai likes drinking and tasting wine. He can taste ugly wine, which is the same as Kang. Wang Lun is also very particular about winemaking. The first-class pearl glutinous rice and the clear bottom water of Taohua Lake make the wine transparent, sweet and mellow. He carried a car full of home-brewed wine and peddled it on the streets of Xuancheng. He felt that the burden was not heavy. He ran all over the street with a wine basket, and there were bidders vying for 10 thousand. It's shocking. It's too expensive. Who cares? This is exactly what he wants. In fact, he sells wine and just wants to know Li Bai. Sure enough, when Li Bai came to Wang Lun, he was immediately attracted by the attractive wine. He didn't ask the price, just let him taste the wine. Wang Lun handed a bowl, Li Bai took a sip, cheered, and wanted to buy it all. It happened that I forgot to bring my money in a hurry this day. At this time, Wang Lun said: "The jade horse in Admiralty is not expensive enough, just to get to know it and have a drink." He invited Li Bai to drink, and two baskets of wine were drunk from noon to sunset until the wine was empty, which seemed to be unfinished. At this time, Wang Lun invited Li Bai to be a guest at home. Li Bai readily agreed and asked about the scenery of the mountain village. Wang Lun proudly said with a little wine: "Ten miles of peach blossoms are beautiful, Wanjia hotels are fragrant, and the mountains and rivers are greener, which is called the Peach Blossom Garden."

At the invitation of Wang Lun, Li Bai came to Wang Lun's house as a guest. Wang Lun took out the aged wine that had been treasured for more than 20 years to entertain Li Bai. This wine was made when his son was born. It was supposed to be hidden until his son got married. Now, Wang Lun broke the precedent and dedicated this wine to Li Bai. After drinking this wine, Li Bai only felt that the aroma was mellow and quiet, and the taste was like rain, sweet and slightly spicy, refreshing. Li Bai drank happily, and Brewmaster, who had never been drunk, finally got as drunk as a fiddler and sang, "Go to Lianhua Mountain in the west and watch the stars all the way. Holding a white hibiscus flower in both hands, curled up into a ball. Dressed in colorful clothes, elegant clouds floated high into the sky. I boarded the rainbow platform and bowed to Wei Shuqing. Anxiously follow them and take Hongyan to Zixuan. Inadvertently, the Luoyang Plain was full of soldiers in the Anshi Rebellion. Blood grass, jackal crown. " Li Bai stayed at Wang Lun's house for a few days, and they drank heartily. This is really "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes, and never point his golden cup at the moon!" " .

The two men were congenial and talked about starting a business and running a country. They couldn't help feeling a lot, especially the disaster brought to the people by the An Shi Rebellion, which made the poet sigh and wave wildly: "A person can't see the moon in the mud. Look at the moon, but there are no pedestrians in the water. The more birds come from the south, the farther north Hu Yan goes. I want to bow and shoot into the sky, but I regret that I have lost my way. Fallen leaves do not belong to trees, but fall with the wind. Guests have nothing to trust, and worries are the same. The curtain rolled up as if someone had pulled it open. The bright moon goes straight in, with no intention of guessing. The male sword hanging on the wall will always grow bright. Constant rhinoceros, rusty moss. How to become famous when the national humiliation is not over? Vultures dream, regardless of kites. Strike it for the king and fight for nine days. " Poetry expresses a person's concern for the country and the people, and shows a person's desire to contribute to the country and his ambition to "laugh and be king and calm the sandstorm".

Li Bai stayed at Wang Lun's house for several days and played around. He didn't see any ten-mile peach blossoms, nor did he see any Wanjia hotels. He felt bored, so he brought it up with Wang Lun and accused Wang Lun of cheating him. Wang Lun said with a smile, "How dare the villagers deceive the poet? It's just that these ten-mile peach blossoms and Wanjia Hotel are all beautiful scenery, but they are not as beautiful as my mountains and mellow as my aging. Therefore, I didn't accompany you to see them, and I will definitely accompany you tomorrow. " The next day, Wang Lun took Li Bai to Taohualing, ten miles away. Although the peach blossoms in Taohualing are not ten miles wide, they are colorful all over the mountains, but they are also very bright and charming. There is Taohuatan under Taohualing, and there is Wanjia Village beside Taohuatan. A restaurant is hung with a big "ten thousand" flag, and the wine is very attractive. Li Bai couldn't help laughing for a moment: "It turned out to be so wonderful, it was really wonderful." Wang Lun also smiled and said, "It's a shame that the villagers lied to the poet." Li Bai said, "Sir, why do you say that? This place is really more wonderful than I thought. " At this time, folk songs come and go in the distance, adding to the elegant and beautiful artistic conception of Taohualing.

Li Bai and Wang Lun had a farewell drink at Wanjia Hotel and wrote a poem for Wang Lun: "Li Bai was about to leave by boat when he heard singing on the shore. Taohuatan is deep in thousands of feet, not as good as Wang Lun. " Wang Lun's children and grandchildren have always treasured this poem as a priceless treasure. Gao Peng's friends came and were willing to show them the original poem, telling the story of Shili Peach Blossom and Wanjia Hotel vividly.
