Ancient Classics
《The Duke of Zhou's Dream Interpretations》
梦酒者主应酬，浅酌安分福运稠；酒席和好人缘旺，醉酒狂言祸事留；梦酒厂兴基业固，厂荒酒浊运势休。
Interpretation: Dreaming of drinking alcohol primarily concerns matters of social relations and interaction. Sipping in moderation and behaving appropriately foretells especially rich and prosperous fortune. Getting along amiably at feasts will cause the favor of good relations to grow daily. Acting wildly and speaking recklessly while drunk tends to leave troubles and slander lingering. Dreaming of a prosperous, orderly winery means the foundation of one's own career is stable and secure. If the winery is deserted, dilapidated, or the wine is turbid and spoiled, life's fortune will stagnate and recede.
《The Profound Explanations of Dreamland》
酒为交际之媒，亦为祸乱之阶；饮而有节，则通人脉、增福缘；饮而无度，则乱心性、招口非；酒厂兴则基业厚，酒厂败则家运衰；慎酒守礼，乃处世安身之本。
Interpretation: Alcohol is the medium for social intercourse but also the staircase to disaster and disorder. Drinking with restraint facilitates networking and increases the affinity for fortune. Drinking without restraint will confuse one's innate nature and provoke gossip and slander. A flourishing winery symbolizes a thick and solid foundation for one's own life's work; a failing, ruined winery symbolizes decline for family and career fortune. Prudently managing alcohol affairs and upholding etiquette are the fundamental principles for navigating the world and securing oneself.
