Do monks in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties drink?

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, monks ate meat and drank wine. At that time, the whole social atmosphere was drinking, drinking and drinking, and then talking empty words.

According to Wei Shu, Yuan Taixing, the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, got sick and made money, which was called "Sanzhai". After the fast, the monks dispersed, and a monk came to beg for the food left over from the fast. Yuan Taixing said in a play, "There is no food, only wine and meat." The monk said, "wine and meat are also available." Yuan Taixing took out a barrel of wine and a sheep's foot. Monks ate it.

"Broken Wine and Meat" wrote: "Disciple Xiao Yan made a vow with all the monks and nuns in front of the ten buddhas: after returning to the temple today, all the monks and nuns will check their diligence and make them believe in Buddhism; Drinking and eating meat is not as good as law, so disciples should ask by law; If monks and nuns approve of Tathagata's clothes, they cannot do Tathagata's things. Are they fake monks, like thieves? "

In Liang Wudi's view, drinking and eating meat is illegal, or a fake monk, just like a thief, he will be punished. Therefore, it can be said that the vegetarian habit is a tradition oppressed by the imperial power of Liang Wudi.
