First, drinking, ancient romantic celebrities all like drinking, and it seems that they can drink brilliant poems from wine. They like to drink in the open air and in the pavilion. Drink when friends come, and drink when friends leave. When drinking, call a few famous prostitutes who can sing and dance to play, and then set a drinking order. For couples, writing poems is really a no-booze, and it's easy to kill the night.
Second, reading, many men will light candles and read the scriptures of saints after dark. Although candles are worse than electric lights, they also illustrate the difficulties of ancient literati. Reading is not only to kill time, but also a more important reason is that the ancients thought that only reading can get ahead, which is why nothing is as high as reading.
Third, parties, the ancients especially like parties, mostly friends who sing poems and play games together. For example, Boya and the little chef of hippo listened to songs and played the piano together, which made a story of mountains and rivers throughout the ages, while the poet Li Bai was the first to get together with friends from time to time, leaving many well-known poems after drunkenness.
Extended data:
There are many kinds of ancient lamps in China, which can be roughly divided into bronze, pottery, porcelain, glass, wood, stone, iron, tin, gold and silver candlesticks and so on.
Ancient bronze lamps were also written as "gold ingots". There are many styles, such as a plate with oil or candles on the top, a column in the middle and a bottom. Some of them are called "goose foot lights" because their bottoms are as wild as goose feet.
Some disks have three short feet under them and a handle at the edge. Their inscription is called "Zouguang". Some were cast into the shapes of people, birds, animals and trees. There are also walls and openable doors around to adjust the airflow and light, such as the Changxin Palace Lantern unearthed from the Han Tomb in Mancheng, Hebei Province. Bronze lanterns prevailed from the Warring States to the Han and Jin Dynasties.
