"Drunkard Pavilion" is a famous article written by Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty during his official period. The artistic conception is beautiful, the structure is exquisite, and the language is flexible. At the time of the article, Luoyang paper expensive, became the representative prose works of the Northern Song Dynasty ancient Chinese movement. . In this article, Ouyang Xiu vividly depicts the beauty of Mount Lu, showing the elegant feelings of Ouyang Xiu as a literary scholar who is enchanted by the beauty of the mountains and rivers, as well as the folk spirit of local officials (Chuzhou Zhizhou) and the people. Because "Drunkard Pavilion" is widely circulated, the millennium has been reduced to the literati of the past dynasties. Some of the articles in the article have gradually become familiar idioms in word-of-mouth. From this issue, we will introduce one each issue. The idioms that You Qishan had to say, in order to readers:


(1) The meaning of drunkenness is not in wine


This is the most widely circulated idiom in "Drunkard Pavilion", which comes from "the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but also between mountains and rivers." The original intention is that Ouyang Xiu said that his true intention in the drunken pavilion is not drinking, but to appreciate the scenery in Lushan. Later, he expressed that his intention was not here, but in other aspects, he was often used in diplomatic rhetoric. We can often hear from the news that the commentator said that the United States is patrolling the border of the South China Sea and is nominally escorting the free trade at sea. But the people of the world know that he is "not drunk"; there are also English and French, etc. Western European countries impose huge tariffs on certain products in China. On the surface, they are “anti-dumping”, but in fact they are "not drunk".


In the five years of the Qingli reign (AD 1045), Ouyang Xiu, who suffered a series of blows from eunuchs and dead women, finally settled in Cangzhou, where the land is simple and simple, and here, "Tai Shou and guests come here to drink, drink Less drunk, and the highest in years, so the number is drunk.", Ouyang Xiu relies on the self-deprecation of the scholar-officials to dissolve the inner sorrow; here, Ouyang Xiu is the four o'clock, wild, Xishui, Jiamu, Lingquan Attracted, the beauty of Mount Lushan deeply comforted Ouyang Xiu's wounded state of mind. Ouyang Xiu relies on wine as a sustenance to gather with the guests and get drunk in the mountains and rivers of Lushan. Here, Ouyang Xiu got the spiritual power of Confucian scholars from nature, and the hardships of the past have become his help.


What I want is not what I portray. In fact, not only the landscape, but also the people between the mountains and rivers. The meaning of Ouyang Xiu is not only the joy of mountains and rivers, but also the "comfort with the people." Ouyang Xiu also practiced his "common with the people" in Zhangzhou. Nowadays, Laoshan Scenic Area has opened the mountain gate to Cangzhou City (including 2 county-level cities under the jurisdiction of 4 counties and escrow) in 2014. Now Lushan is actively creating a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot. This is not a practice. Do you think "I am happy with the people"?
