杜甫 / Du Fu

杜甫 / Du Fu enters this wiki through Qinji 131-3 as the poet of 《饮中八仙歌》. The episode uses that poem to show how drinking can become a literary portrait method rather than only a behavior to praise or condemn.

In the source’s reading, Du Fu writes a compact gallery of Chang’an drinkers: He Zhizhang’s unstable but free-spirited drunkenness, Su Jin’s mix of Buddhist devotion and love of drink, Li Bai’s inspired poetic reputation, and other figures become recognizable through wine scenes. Du Fu therefore supports 诗酒文化 by making wine social, aesthetic, and character-revealing at once.
