Abstract
Ou-yang Hsiu, the most famous of the Neo-Confucian scholars of the early Sung, once wrote a poem entitled The Drunken Old Man’s Pavilion. In it, he described the joys of watching the daily and seasonal changes in a misty pavilion on a mountain top, joys realized through the medium of large amounts of wine (Ou-yang 1963). Other poets as well extolled the pleasures of drink, poetry, and friendship. Not only in the sensuous lines of Li Pai but even in the restrained and correct verse of Tu Fu, wine and human warmth go together (T’ang-shih san-paishou 1968).
