Li Bai has thousands of existing poems, of which about 200 mentioned wine.
Moreover, Du Fu wrote in "The Eight Immortals Song of Drinking": "One hundred poems of Li Bai fighting for wine", which shows that Li Bai loves drinking very much.
But!
Li Canbaizhen speaks the truth after drinking?
Back to Du Fu's Poem —— Hundred Poems of Li Bai Fighting for Wine
Here, "fighting for wine" means fighting for wine. So the question is ... how much is a barrel of wine?
The bucket we often talk about is actually the unit of grain. A bucket weighs about 16 Jin. The density of wine is 0.8 g/cm3, that is, 10 liter. Don't say it's wine, even if you drink that much water, you can send it directly to the hospital.
So we can draw a conclusion-the ancient barrel for measuring wine and the modern barrel for weighing grain are not the same concept!
So, how big was the ancient battle?
Three feet in ancient times is equivalent to 70 centimeters now. The big fight is like this, and the small fight is definitely smaller. The capacity of a bucket is also the size of a commonly used glass. ...
Then let's look at ancient wine again.
In fact, the degree of ancient wine is very low ... There was no distillation technology in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and most of the wine was fermented wine directly filtered after fermentation. The degree is between 3%- 10%, which is similar to beer ... that's why we mistakenly think that ancient people can drink it.
To sum up, we have come to two conclusions:
1. A bucket is actually as big as a glass.
In ancient times, the alcohol content was very low, similar to beer.
Moreover, if you are interested in reading Li Bai's poems and songs, you will find that there is only a record of Li Bai's drinking, not ... how much he drank!
It's time to expose the truth. Let's go back to Du Fu's Song of Drinking Eight Immortals ~
This is because ... the secret of Li Bai's drinking capacity is in it! ! ! Du Fu and Li Bai spent some time together and should know Li Bai's true capacity for drinking.
When Du Fu wrote about others in The Song of Eight Immortals Drinking, he said this:
Ruyang's three fights began in the sky, and Jiao Sui's five fights stood out.
Drinking like a whale costs thousands of dollars.
But one round Li Bai won, but ... Li Bai's hundred poems about fighting wine, he went to sleep in a restaurant in Chang 'an.
Let me explain briefly: other people either dare to meet the son of heaven after drinking three fights, or they can "stand out" after drinking five fights. As for the one who "drinks like a long whale and sucks a hundred rivers", I won't say it, everyone must understand ~
But only Li Bai drank one, "went to a restaurant in Chang 'an" ... that is to say, Li Bai got drunk after a fight. ...
I believe you have come to the same conclusion as me-Li Bai's drinking capacity is actually ... very bad! ! !
To put it bluntly, Li Bai is the dregs of wine that can be put down with a small glass of beer!
Get drunk after drinking a little wine!
But he pretended to be a drinker and wrote poems all day to show off his wine!
Let future generations mistake him for "Brewmaster"!
A lie lied to us 1200 years!
As we all know, Li Bai likes to exaggerate when writing poems.
It seems that the poet also blew his capacity for liquor to the sky. .....
