Eight wizards in the cups (Excerpt)


Li Po drinks a gallon,       
    writes a hundred poems.  
Falling a sleep at the bar   
    in Chang'an city.        
Emperor comes for him,       
    but he can't take a boat.
He professes himself to be   
    a wizard in the cup.     



Du Fu (712-770) Born in Henan Province, China.

Chang'an : Capital of Tang Dynasty

Emperor : Xuanzong of Tang (685-762)
