Plum shochu:

A long song, hoarse, heroic, pointing to the crowd; One is clinging to others, blindly humble and pretending not to lose. They are Cao Cao and Liu Bei. On heroes by cooking wine with green plums. In the Three Kingdoms, Dong Cheng made an appointment with Liu Bei and others to form an alliance with Cao. Liu was afraid that Cao would get suspicious and watered the beans every day; When Cao heard this, he set up a monkey: set up a plate of green plums and cook wine in a bottle. The two sat opposite each other and drank heartily. Talk about heroes in the world. Cao was shocked when he said, "Heroes in the world only listen to the king.". The sunny weather suddenly thundered, and Liu concealed Cao Cao's doubts by being timid and afraid of thunder, asking him to suppress Yuan Shu. Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived to get away. Cao gave a tentative banquet at that time, while Liu was fearful, hoping not to arouse Cao's suspicion.

Vernacular translation

The character of a gentleman is to improve self-cultivation from tranquility and cultivate morality from thrift. You can't be clear about your ambitions without being quiet, and you can't achieve your lofty goals without excluding external interference. Learning must be calm and single-minded, and talent comes from learning. Therefore, if you don't study, you won't grow up, and if you don't have ambition, you won't get results. Indulging in laziness can't cheer you up, nor can impatience and adventure cultivate your temperament. Time flies, and the will passes with the years. In the end, most of them are out of touch with the world and are not used by society. They can only sit in the poor house sadly. How could they regret it at that time?
