Why drink wine when tea makes you drunk?

The Master said, "Go back! A gentleman is concealed yet visible; he is not pretentious yet dignified; he is not harsh yet powerful; he does not speak but is trustworthy." The Master said, "A gentleman does not misstep with others, does not mismatch with others, does not mislead with others. Hence, a gentleman's appearance is enough to be feared, his expression is enough to be feared, and his words are enough to be trusted. It is said in Fu Xing, 'Be respectful and cautious, and do not choose what to say.'" The Master said, "The reason why the clothes and the clothes do not follow each other is that we want the people not to offend each other." The Master said, "When offering sacrifices with utmost respect, do not follow them with music; when attending the morning with utmost argument, do not follow them with fatigue." The Master said, "A gentleman is cautious so as to avoid calamity, is sincere so as not to cover up, and is respectful so as to avoid shame." The Master said, "When a gentleman is solemn and respectful, he becomes stronger day by day; when he is idle and careless, he becomes more lazy day by day. A gentleman does not spend a day busying himself, as if it were not the whole day." The Master said, "Be cautious in serving ghosts and gods, and choose a day and a month to meet the king, for fear that the people will not respect him." The Master said, "If you insult me, you will not be afraid of death." The Master said, "No words are not spoken, no manners are not to see each other; to wish that the people would not disrespect each other. The Book of Changes says: ‘The first divination is reported, the second and third divinations are reported, and if it is disrespected, then it is not reported.’”

Luo You from Xiangyang had great poetic talent, and was often called a fool when he was young. Once I visited someone's temple and wanted to beg for food, but I went too early and the door was not open. The host went out to welcome the god and asked why he was here at such a bad time. He replied, "I heard about your temple and wanted to beg for a meal." Then he hid beside the door. At dawn, he had his food and left without any shame on his face. He was a man who recorded his merits. He followed Huan Xuanwu in pacifying Shu. He visited the city walls, palaces, and buildings of Shu, as well as the width and narrowness of the roads inside and outside, and the number of fruit trees and bamboos planted. He memorized them all. Later, Xuanwu Piaozhou and Jianwen Collection were collected, and friends also participated. We talked about things in Shu together, and there were some things we had forgotten. All the friends were listed without any mistakes or omissions. Xuanwu checked the records of the city walls and palaces of Shu and found that they were all as he said. Those sitting there were amazed. Xie Gong said: "How can Luo You be inferior to Wei Yangyuan!" Later he became the governor of Guangzhou. When he was in charge of the garrison, the governor Huan Huo told his order not to stay overnight. He replied, "The people have already done this in advance. The host is poor, and may have money for food and wine. We have a long history, so please accept your orders on another day." Zheng Xi secretly sent people to investigate. On that day, he went to the home of his assistant in Jingzhou, where he felt very comfortable and at ease, just like a successful person. In Yizhou, Yuer said, "I have food utensils for five hundred people." Everyone in his family was shocked. Its origin is clear, but the sudden appearance of this thing must be the 250 stacks of black bamboo.
