Since ancient times, there has been a folk legend: Dukang is the best wine in the world, and Liu Ling drinks a lot. After drinking three cups of Dukang wine, Liu Ling was drunk for three years.

It is said that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a good drinker Liu Ling in Binzhou. He was one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" in the Western Jin Dynasty. He was addicted to alcohol and his drinking capacity was world-famous. The wine fairy Du Kang came to transform Liu Ling into an immortal on the orders of the Jade Emperor, and interpreted the allusion of Liu Ling's drunkenness.

It is said that Liu Ling was cynical and unappreciated, and often drank to relieve his sorrows. As long as he did not drink for a few days, he would become thirsty and become ill. Although he wrote wonderfully, his image of an elegant scholar was ruined by his ability to drink and brag. He said: "I drank as far east as the Southeast China Sea, as far west as Old Sichuan, as far south as Yunnan, and as far north as the outside of the Great Wall. I drank all over the place, and it never made me drunk for half a day..." Such words are common to ordinary people. Can you express it? However, Liu Ling can.

It is not that such a person has no one to treat him. Du Kang's couplet: "A tiger is drunk in the mountains with a cup, and a dragon sleeps in the sea with two cups. If you don't get drunk for three years, you don't need money." This angered Liu Ling, and he thought, If I don’t drink all your wine jars and baskets, I’ll ask you to close the door in three days.

When Liu Ling walked into the tavern, Du Kang took out the wine and asked him to drink it. After one drink, he wanted to drink more. Du Kang advised him not to drink anymore, but he didn't listen. After two glasses of wine, he kept praising her for being extraordinary. Liu Ling waved and drank more. Du Kang, who turned into a restaurant, thought to himself: "This Liu Ling is indeed a talent. Most people will get drunk after drinking one glass of wine from me, but he drank two glasses of wine in a row." But there was no problem with the cup. It seemed that I, the Bo Le, was determined. Du Kang immediately brought the third glass of wine. He was afraid that he would become drunk and put a magic pill into the wine glass. After Liu Ling drank it, he just He felt like the world was spinning and his whole body was limp.

He was really drunk, so he left the wine shop and walked home, swaying all the way. When he got home, he told his wife: "I'm going to die. Bury me in a pool of wine, cover it with wine lees, and put the wine cups and flasks in the coffin for me. "After saying that, he died. His wife buried him as he said.

Three years later, one day, Du Kang went to the village to find Liu Ling. Liu Ling's wife opened the door and asked him what happened. Du Kang said : "Liu Ling drank my wine three years ago and still didn't pay me for it! Liu Ling's wife was very angry after hearing this and said: "Liu Ling drank someone's wine three years ago and died when he came back. It turned out to be your wine!" You still dare to come and ask for money for drinks, and I’m going to ask you for money too! "Du Kang said hurriedly, he is not dead, but drunk.

They came to the place where Liu Ling was buried, opened the coffin and saw that Liu Ling was neatly dressed and had a rosy face. Du Kang patted him on the shoulder and called Said: "Liu Ling wake up, wake up! As expected, Liu Ling yawned, opened her eyes, and praised: "Good wine, good wine!" ”

This drunkenness lasted for three years, and Chollima finally became a real fruit, and Liu Ling became a wine wizard. From then on, “Dukang’s fine wine, one drunk for three years” spread. In fact, it was Du Kang who deliberately made the wine to introduce the wine. Liu Ling got drunk in order to induce him to become a fairy.

This little allusion is to tell us: in real life, many times we should learn to stay half awake and feel like a person between half awake and half drunk. It's best to forget the unpleasant things and think of the happiest things. When there is no degree of restraint, people will lose their minds, so it is necessary to grasp a "degree".

The story of "Liu Ling's Drunkenness" comes from. This is the representative play of the famous actor Ni Junsheng. It is written by Cheng Zhaocai and premiered by Zhang Hualong. The script is included in the "Ping Opera Series"
