What does Liu Ling's drunkenness mean?

Legend has it that Du Kang opened a hotel in Baishui Kangjiawei. Liu Ling, a famous scholar among the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was famous for drinking. One day, Liu Ling passed by and saw a couplet posted on the door of the hotel: "A cup of wine in the mountain, two cups of water at the bottom of the sea, sleeping dragons". Horizontal batch: "Don't get drunk for three years without money". Liu Ling couldn't help laughing when he saw it, thinking, I am a famous Brewmaster, where I have never eaten wine or seen such a compliment.

Let me finish your wine and see if you dare to go crazy. Then, Liu Ling walked into the hotel and had a drink with Du Kanggan. Who knows, after three glasses of wine, Liu Ling only felt dizzy. Sure enough, she was drunk and stumbled home, drunk for three years. Three years later, Du Kang went to Liu Ling's house for a drink. The family said that Liu Ling had been dead for three years. When Liu Ling's wife heard that Du Kang had come to beg for a drink, she was angry and resentful. She went to Du Kang and cried that she would sue Du Kang.

Du Kang said with a smile: "Liu Ling is not dead, just drunk." When they arrived at the cemetery, they opened the coffin and saw that Liu Ling was drunk and slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, yawned a lot, blew out a smell of wine, and proudly said, "Good wine smells good!" " This is the folk story of "Du Kang getting drunk in Liu Ling".

Among the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", Liu Ling is the one with the lowest social status. He is six feet (less than one and a half meters) tall and ugly. Wild feelings, often to reconcile everything in the universe, never promiscuous with others, taciturn, indifferent to the world, only with Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, talking and laughing when they meet, very speculative, and * * * hand in hand to travel, regardless of whether there is property.

As a member of the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest, Liu Ling was a heavy drinker. She often takes a deer cart with a pot of wine, and tells people to take a shovel and say, "If I am drunk, bury me." He also said: "I take heaven and earth as my building and my room as my clothes." Why did you come into my house? " Drunk talk.

Liu Lingzui is a famous characteristic liquor in Hebei Province. Liu Ling visited Zhang Hua in Xu Shui, Hebei. Zhang Hua entertained the local wine, and Liu Ling praised it even more after drinking it. According to "Xu Shui County Records", Liu Ling often "poured a lump in his chest with wine in his cup" and wrote poems on a whim. There are clouds in the poem: "Hold a jar to collect a trough, hold a bowl of glutinous rice", and "carefree, making ceramics is fun. When you are drunk, you suddenly wake up. Listen to the sound of thunder, turn a blind eye to the shape of Taihang, and don't feel cold and hot. "

Liu Ling was buried in Xu Shui after his death, and his tomb still exists today, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province. Later generations also established the "Jiude Pavilion" for him. Liu Lingzui has successively won "the first batch of Chinese time-honored brands" and "China well-known trademark".

Liu Ling felt unwell and thirsty because of drinking too much, so she asked his wife for a drink. His wife poured out the wine and destroyed the wine container. She cried and advised, "You have drunk too much. This is not the way to keep fit. You must give up drinking! " Liu Ling said, "Very good. But I can't stop myself, I can only pray to ghosts and swear to give up drinking. Just prepare wine and meat for sacrifice. "

The wife said, "I will do as you say." So he offered wine and meat to God and asked Liu Ling to pray and swear. Liu Ling knelt down and said, "I was born Liu Ling, and wine is my life. Drink one welcome at a time and five fights to get rid of alcohol disease. Never listen to a woman. " Then I picked up the wine and meat, ate and drank, and got drunk.
