First, the most substantial dinner-Mianchi Meeting

Zhao got this piece of jade, and the insatiable Qin Xiang Wang got the news and sent a letter to Zhao Wen Wang, willing to exchange fifteen cities for this piece of jade. Lin Xiangru resolutely undertook the important task of going to the State of Qin, and "one piece belongs to Zhao".

Soon, Qin attacked Zhao, killing more than 20,000 soldiers. The scheming king of Qin sent messengers to tell the king of Zhao that he would meet him in Mianchi. The prince of Zhao is afraid of being cheated and afraid of not going. Lin Xiangru, not afraid of sacrifice for the honor of his motherland, decided to accompany the prince of Zhao to Mianchi in person.

At the banquet, he had a tit-for-tat struggle with the monarch and ministers of Qin State. When the king of Zhao was forced to play the harp, he argued for equality with Zhao Ping, forcing the king of Qin to strike. Later, the ministers of Qin asked Zhao for fifteen cities, but Lin Xiangru refused to give in and offered Xianyang, the capital of Qin, as an exchange, which made the king of Qin feel helpless and found nothing. Lin Xiangru tactfully protected Wang Zhao's safety without being humiliated. After returning to China, he was appointed as Shangqing.

Second, the sinister dinner-Hongmen Banquet

At the hongmen banquet, although there is no shortage of dining tables, there are also hidden dangers. Xiang Yu's father, Fan Zeng, has always advocated killing Liu Bang. At the banquet, he repeatedly motioned for Xiang Yu to give orders, but Xiang Yu hesitated. Fan Zeng told Xiangzhuang to dance the sword for the festival, and wanted to kill Liu Bang.

For Liu Bang, Xiang Bo also drew his sword and danced to cover Liu Bang. At this critical juncture, Liu Bang's subordinate Fan Kuai broke into the military gate with a sword and a shield and glared at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu saw that this person was distinguished and asked who was coming. Knowing that he was a participant of Liu Bang, he ordered wine, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to walk away.

Sean, a subordinate of Liu Bang, was introduced to Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang was drunk and could not come to see him off. Now he dedicated a pair of white jade to the king and a pair of jade buckets to General Fan Zeng. I don't know the depth of Xiang Yu's acceptance of Bai Bi, so I was so angry that Fan Zeng drew his sword and smashed the jade bucket.

Third, the most heroic dinner-cooking wine on heroes

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Cheng made an appointment with Liu Bei and others to form an alliance with Cao. Liu Bei was afraid of Cao Cao's suspicion and watered the beans every day. When Cao Cao heard about it, he set up a monkey: set up a plum and cook wine in a bottle. The two sat opposite each other and drank heartily.

Talk about heroes in the world. When Cao Cao said, "Heroes in the world only listen to their ears," Liu Bei was shocked. The sunny weather suddenly thundered. Liu Bei concealed Cao Cao's doubts by being timid and afraid of thunder, and asked him to suppress Yuan Shu. Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived to get away. At that time, Cao Cao tentatively gave a banquet, while Liu Bei was fearful, hoping not to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion.

Liu Bei's deliberate cover-up made Cao Cao relax his vigilance and no longer doubt Liu Bei. Later, together with Sun Quan, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao in Battle of Red Cliffs, which broke the unified situation and started a new era of hegemony-The Three Kingdoms.

Fourth, the most inspiring dinner-the new pavilion meeting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the disaster of Yongjia in the Central Plains, a large area of land in the north fell into the hands of the Hu people. The northern gentry moved their families to the south one after another, and 67% of them crossed the river to the south, which was called "crossing the river with clothes on" in history.

Although scholars in the north settled in the south for a period of time, they often worried about their motherland. In their spare time, they will have a drink in the new pavilion by the Yangtze River outside the city. Celebrity Zhou Yi sighed: "The scenery is different, so you can't look up and see it." Everyone present felt that the Central Plains had fallen into foreign hands. At that time, there was no hope for their motherland, and they wept in succession. Wang Dao, the leading celebrity, immediately changed color and snapped: "We work together to overcome China. Why should we be a relative crying prisoner!" When they heard Wang Dao say this, they were very ashamed and cheered at once. This is a very famous new pavilion meeting in history. It stabilized the hearts of northern Du Nan scholars and continued the Jin Dynasty.

Five, four, two thousand pounds of dinner-a glass of wine to release the soldiers.

Since the mutiny in Chen Qiao, the Northern Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin has been worried that his heavily armed men will follow in his footsteps. So Zhao Kuangyin arranged a wine bureau, called imperial generals Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and other military commanders to drink.

Zhao Kuangyin kept sighing at the banquet. When they asked, they learned that the emperor was worried that they would rebel in the future. They had to retire to their hometown to enjoy their old age and accumulate more money, silks, fields and houses for their children and grandchildren, and the military power was completely lifted from then on.

In 969, Zhao Kuangyin called Wang Yanchao, our time envoy, to give a banquet and relieved them of their military power in the buffer region. This also opened the national system of valuing literature over martial arts for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.

Looking at the above famous dinners, they have had an important impact on the situation and political structure of later generations.
