Li Jin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Li Jin is the nephew of Emperor Xuánzong of Tang, a member of the royal family in Tang Dynasty. He is best known for his strong affection to alcoholic drinks, as well as his practice of bow and drum. He was listed in the second place in Du Fu's poem Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup as:

汝阳三斗始朝天， (He can drink three big barrels before drunk)

道逢麴车口流涎， (He can't resist the temper of drinking when seeing the carts transporting Chinese white wine on his way)

恨不移封向酒泉。 (that he would rather move his place to Jiuquan, the place where wines are produced.)
