Historical allusions about green plums;
There are also many historical allusions about plums, among which the famous ones are "looking at plums to quench thirst" and "cooking wine as a hero". During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led an expedition. One day on the way to March, there was no water and the soldiers were very thirsty. So Cao Cao said that there was a large piece of Merlin in front of them. Everyone remembered the sour taste of plums, but they were not thirsty for the time being. This is "looking at plums to quench thirst."
Later, Cao Cao went to the hospital, when the branches were green plums. Thinking of the experience of watching plums quench their thirst last year, he invited Liu Bei to drink. Cao Cao and Liu Bei boiled wine in their childhood, talked about heroes in the world while drinking, and remembered the experience of "looking at plums to quench thirst". This is the origin of the allusion "cooking wine on heroes".
