Complete the poem of the Song of the Eight Immortals by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Xu’s biography of Three Cups

Zhang Xu's three-cup grass sage takes off his hat and tops his head in front of the prince, swiping paper like clouds of smoke. Jiao Sui fought five battles with Fang Zhuoran, and his eloquent talk shocked the four banquets.

Translation:

After Zhang Xu drank three glasses of wine, he wrote a book with a brush, and he was called the Caosheng at that time.

He often took off his hat and uncovered his head in front of the princes and nobles, and wrote quickly with his pen. If he received divine help, his writing would fall on the paper like clouds and smoke.

It took Jiao Sui five glasses of wine to feel refreshed. He talks loudly at the banquet and often shocks everyone with his words.

Appreciation:

"Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" is a unique and characteristic "portrait poem". The eight Jiuxian are contemporaries and have all lived in Chang'an. They are similar to each other in terms of their drinking, boldness and broad-mindedness. The poet uses refined language and character sketching techniques to write them into a poem, forming a lifelike group portrait.
