While researching Martin’s questions regarding drinking in ancient China, I
came across information on a Chinese poet who sounds terribly familiar . . .
Li Bo the Drinker
Probably no poet on earth has ever been more closely associated with wine,
and with drunkenness, than the charming Li Bo, for whom drink seems to have
been as precious as life itself. He tells us of this himself constantly
throughout his verse, and we believe him. There are also accounts from
others. One is the anecdote of when the poet arrived in the Capital city of
Chang-an, in 742, as a man of forty years or so. He stayed with a courtier
named Ho Chi-chang. The excellent Ho, about whom Li Bo has written, wrote to
the emperor about his friend:
I have in my house probably the greatest poet that ever existed. I have not
dared to speak of him to your Majesty because of his one defect, which is
rather difficult to correct: he drinks, and drinks sometimes to excess. But
his poems are beautiful. Judge them for yourself, my lord!
The emperor, the story says, at once summoned the poet to his court.
Another account is from Tu Fu, the younger contemporary of Li Bo who wrote a
poem about the "eight great poets" who were known for their love of wine, in
which he says:
...When it comes to Li Bo just hand him a jar of wine.
He'll write you a hundred poems.
Here he is sleeping it off in a tavern somewhere in the streets of Chang-an.
Now comes a summons from the Emperor to arouse him.
Come join us on our princely barge!
But no, he says, I cannot.
I am a god of wine!
In one of his best known poems Li Bo writes about the inconsequentiality of
price when it comes to wine:
Let's say you're my host, and you say you're short on cash.
I say, get straight on out there and buy more wine!
Here, let me pour for you.
Just take my horse outside there.
That's him with the color of five shades of flowers.
And, here, take these furs.
They're worth a fortune.
Just call the guy over to pick them up.
We'll trade them for more of that excellent wine.
To read Li Bo --and this is common with many poets--is to take a trip, with
the poet as guide, pointing things out to you, making little comments and
observations, either directly on the side, sometimes holding your hand,
anticipating, remembering, cautioning. He is a wise and confident companion.
He's been there. He may play a little trick or two and have a little fun
with you, but you can trust him. And soon you come to rely on him, and even
to love him like a good old friend.
Gee, this guy sounds like someone we know! Reincarnation, maybe?
