The story of Li Bai and Wang Lun

The poet Li Bai traveled all over the world, roaming all over the world, not only traveling Traveling all over the famous mountains and rivers, the mountainous area of ??southern Anhui, which was not very famous at that time, also left the poet's footprints and splendid chapters. Huangshan Couple Taiping Lake is a famous mountain and water in southern Anhui. There is a place called Peach Blossom Pond in the lower reaches of Taiping Lake. At that time, the poet Li Bai once drank and sang with villager Wang Lun here, and it is still a favorite story.

When Li Bai lived in Xuancheng, it was the year when Anlushan was revolting. "Looking down at the Luoyang River, you can see the vast number of barbarian soldiers. The weeds are covered with blood, and the jackals are all covered with tassels." The misfortune of national affairs and the suffering of the people made the poet full of worries and sighed. When he was worried, he naturally turned to wine to drown his sorrows. The large and small wine shops in Xuancheng were all places where he could relieve his worries. Originally, he had an indissoluble bond with wine, but at this time, he is even more like "the five-flowered horse, the golden fur, the call will be exchanged for the fine wine, and the eternal sorrow will be sold with you." He seemed to be seeking to stay drunk forever and forget the troubles and sorrows in front of him.

At that time, there was a scholar named Wang Minglun who lived in seclusion in a mountain village in Jingxian County. This Wang Lun was also a man who did not seek fame and had no intention of pursuing an official career. He was engaged in farming and mulberry farming, and enjoyed the pastoral life. In his spare time, he drank the wine he brewed and recited a few lines, "Picking weeds and picking weeds, and the weeds are stopping. When I say I'm going back, I'm going back, and I'm not going to stop when I'm old." Poet Li Bai gave him gold in return. When he was wandering around the world in the mountains, he hoped that Li Bai would come to southern Anhui for a visit. However, Li Bai traveled all over the world, coming and going in a hurry, and never had a chance to meet him. Now that Li Bai was living in Xuancheng, he thought it was an excellent opportunity and wanted to invite the poetry immortal to his home to drink, sing and express his feelings. Unfortunately, he and Li Bai didn't know each other, so how could he invite them rashly?

Wang Lun knew that Li Bai was as famous for his drinking as his poems. He was not only a poet, but also a wine master. "If you enjoy cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time." Is this something a mortal dares to boast? Li Bai was good at drinking and tasting wine. He could taste any kind of wine with a Chou Yin Mao. Du Kang at that time was no more than that. Wang Lun was also very particular about his winemaking. He used high-quality pearl glutinous rice and clear water from the Peach Blossom Pond to produce a wine that was clear, fragrant and mellow. He carried a load of home-brewed wine and hawked it on the streets of Xuancheng. He didn't mind the heavy load, and walked around the streets with the wine basket. Those who asked for the price were astonished. Who else would buy it for such an expensive price? Ask. This is exactly what he wants. In fact, he is not a wine seller. He just wants to get acquainted with Li Bai. Sure enough, when Li Bai came to Wang Lun, he was immediately attracted by the alluring aroma of wine. He didn't ask the price, but just asked for the wine to taste. Wang Lun handed over a bowl, and Li Bai took it and sipped it. He praised it repeatedly and wanted to buy it all. Unfortunately, he forgot to bring any money in his hurry that day. At this time, Wang Lun said: "Golden bells and jade horses are not expensive, I just want to get acquainted and drink together." He invited Li Bai to have a drink, and the two of them drank from two baskets of wine at noon until the red sun set in the west. Until the wine is gone and the basket is empty, it seems that the excitement is still not exhausted. At this time, Wang Lun invited Li Bai to his home as a guest, and Li Bai readily agreed. By the way, he asked about the scenery of the mountain village. Wang Lun said proudly with a bit of wine: "The peach blossoms are beautiful ten miles away, the hotels are fragrant, the mountains and rivers are greener, and they are called the Peach Blossom Spring." At Wang Lun's invitation, he came to Wang Lun's home as a guest. Wang Lun took out the aged wine that had been collected for more than 20 years to entertain Li Bai. This wine was brewed when his son was born, and was originally intended to be hidden until his son got married. . Now, Wang Lun broke the precedent and toasted this wine to Li Bai. After Li Bai drank this wine, he only felt that the aroma was mellow, the taste was like rain, sweet and slightly spicy, refreshing. Li Bai drank happily. The Jiu Xian, who had never been drunk before, finally got very drunk. He hit his fou and sang: "Going west to Lotus Mountain, I can see the stars from afar. I hold the hibiscus in my bare hands, and my empty steps are too clear. The colorful clothes are spread across the sky. Take me to the clouds, bow to my uncle, and look down at the Luoyang River. The wild soldiers are covered with blood, and the jackals are all covered with tassels. Wang Lun's family stayed at Wang Lun's house for several days, and the two of them drank with open arms. It was true that "if you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon." The two had similar spirits, and when they talked about family and state affairs, they couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Especially the disaster brought by Anlushan's rebellion to the people made the poet sigh and write wildly: "There is only mud in the water, and the water is so turbid that no moon can be seen. It's still okay to see the moon, but the water is deep and there are no people. The birds are coming from the south, and the wild geese are also heading north. I want to bend my bow and shoot towards the sky, but I lose my way back. The fallen leaves are drifting in the wind, and I feel sad. At the same time, the curtains are stretched, and the bright moon shines straight into the sky. The dragon is always roaring, and the country is still humiliated. How can it become famous? Ignore the kites and fight for the king.

"The poem expresses his concern for the country and the people, and expresses his desire to contribute to the country and his ambition to "talk and laugh for the king in silence".

Li Bai stayed at Wang Lun's house for a while. After traveling around for a few days, I didn't see any peach blossoms, let alone Wanjia hotels. I felt bored, so I mentioned this matter to Wang Lun and blamed Wang Lun for deceiving him. Wang Lun smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with the villagers?" I dare to deceive the Shixian, but although these ten miles of peach blossoms and thousands of hotels are beautiful scenery, they are not as beautiful as my mountains and secluded waters, let alone my aged wine. Therefore, I have not accompanied you to see it, but I will go with you tomorrow. A tour. "The next day, Wang Lun took Li Bai to Peach Blossom Ridge ten miles away. Although the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Ridge are not ten miles wide, they are colorful all over the mountains and fields, but they are also very bright and charming. There is Peach Blossom Pond at the foot of Taohua Ridge, Peach Blossom Pond There was Wanjia Village nearby, and a wine shop held a big "Wan" flag high. The aroma of the wine was alluring. Li Bai couldn't help but laugh and said: "It turns out that there are ten miles of peach blossoms and Wanjia Hotel. It's wonderful. It's really wonderful." Wang Lun also smiled and said: "The village man deceived the Shixian with his nonsense, I am really ashamed." Li Bai said: "Sir, why do you say this? This place is really more beautiful than I imagined." "At this time, the sound of folk songs came from the distance, adding to the elegant and beautiful artistic conception of Taohua Ridge.

Li Bai and Wang Lun drank farewell at the Wanjia Hotel and wrote down He wrote a short poem to Wang Lun: "Li Bai was about to set off in a boat when he suddenly heard people singing on the shore. The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, and it is not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me. "Wang Lun's descendants have always regarded this poem as a priceless treasure and kept it in precious collections. Only when distinguished friends came, they were willing to take it out to let them see the original work of this poem, and vividly told the story of the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Wanjia Hotel. .

The story of Shili Peach Blossom and Wanjia Hotel is widely spread in southern Anhui, especially in the Taohuatan area. Today, Shili Peach Blossom and Wanjia Hotel are still the same, and tourists come here. , you will think of the heroic posture of the poet Li Bai and the generous enthusiasm of Wang Lun, and you will naturally have a feeling of ecstasy. It seems that the mellow fragrance of wine exudes from the Peach Blossom Pond, which makes people emotional, intoxicated, and forget to return. .
