Wanjeok and Do Yeon-myeong are both lovers and writers of the Weijin period. Both men liked alcohol, but there is little alcohol in Wanjeok's poems. On the other hand, Do Yeon-myeong's poems feature a lot of alcohol. It is no exaggeration to say that Do Yeon-myeong has a poem with alcohol. The drinking of Wanjeok and Do Yeon-myeong and their political attitudes, life attitudes and aesthetics are all closely related. Wanjeok was at the center of political violence, so he was forced to hide showing his talent, and even if he tried to get drunk, he could not fully drunked. Wanjeok used drinking as a tool to avoid anger. The political relationship of Do Yeon-myeong was relatively loose compared to that of Wan-jeok. However, as ancient writers were deeply involved in politics, he always wanted to express his views on real politics, but he used the power of alcohol to make political remarks and ambiguous expressions. Both Wanjeok and Do Yeon-myeong hover between Confucianism and Taoism, intertwining contradictions, and resolved to some extent by drinking. In terms of aesthetic attitudes, both Wanjeok and Do Yeon-myeong's drinking behavior had a strong aesthetic taste. However, Wanjeok rarely mentioned alcohol in the poem, and Do Yeon-myeong consciously introduced it to the poem, expressing aesthetic tastes in a unique form. The two tried to communicate with the true inner world of unconsciousness without being bound by the regulation by drinking and writing poems. During the Weijin period, they believed that those who worshipped the regulation were only for their own good. Whenever Do Yeon-myeong was disappointed with the reality, he comforted himself with alcohol, took pleasure in growing chrysanthemums, and hid his great wisdom. His pain, loneliness, and silence are not much different compared to Wanjeok. His poem related with drinking not only reveals the pain in his heart, but also contains the philosophy of life.
