What is the wine culture in China
China is an ancient civilization that stands out in the world, and China is the hometown of wine. In the 5,000 years of history of the Chinese nation, wine and wine culture have been occupying an important position, and wine is a special kind of food that belongs to the material, but wine is melted into people's spiritual life. As a special form of culture, wine culture has its unique position in traditional Chinese culture. In thousands of years of civilization, wine has penetrated into almost every field of social life. First of all, China is an agricultural country, so all political and economic activities are based on agricultural development. The vast majority of Chinese wine is brewed from grain, and wine is closely attached to agriculture, becoming part of the agricultural economy. The abundance and failure of grain production is the barometer of the rise and fall of the wine industry, the rulers of each dynasty according to the grain harvest, through the issuance of a ban on wine or the opening of the ban to regulate the production of wine, so as to ensure that the people eat. China is the kingdom of wine. China is the kingdom of wine, with thousands of different forms and colors, and its many varieties and abundant production are the best in the world. China is also the happy land of the wine people, the land is not divided into north and south, people are not divided into men and women, young and old, ethnic groups are not divided into Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetans, the wind of drinking wine, after several dry years and not decline. China is the wine culture, the significance of drinking is far more than physical consumption, far more than the pleasure of the mouth and stomach; on many occasions, it is as a cultural symbol, a cultural consumption, used to express a kind of etiquette, an atmosphere, a kind of interest, a state of mind; wine and poetry, has never been tied up with an unbreakable bond. Not only that, China's many famous wines not only give people the enjoyment of beauty, but also give people the revelation of beauty and force of inspiration; the development of each kind of famous wines, are inclusive of laborers from generation to generation of the exploration of the struggle, heroic sacrifice, so the spirit of the famous wines and the national pride is closely linked with the fearlessness of the spirit of the close connection. This is the spirit of the Chinese people! With the European labeled "God of Wine", very much the same. It seems to think that with the famous wine, Chinese food and drink can be sublimated to boast the world's food culture. Wine, as the existence of the world's objective substances, it is a varied elves, it is hot like fire, cold like ice; it is lingering like a dream, vicious like the devil, it is soft like brocade, sharp like a steel knife; it is ubiquitous, infinite power, it can be honored and sobbed, the kill that kill; it can call a person to be free from the open-minded, talented, debauchery; it can be called to forget the world's pain and worry and worry about the time and space to the absolute freedom! Soaring; it can also call people reckless, bravely sink to the bottom of the abyss, calling people to throw off the mask, the original form, the mouth spit out the truth. Wine, in the long history of human culture, it is not just an objective material existence, but a cultural symbol, that is, the symbol of the spirit of the god of wine. In China, the spirit of the god of wine takes Taoist philosophy as its source. Zhuang Zhou advocates the unity of things, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death. Zhuang Zhou sings the song of absolute freedom, advocating "traveling with things", "traveling beyond the four seas", "there is no country". Zhuangzi preferred to be a free turtle in a muddy pond, rather than a bounded, headstrong horse. The pursuit of absolute freedom and the forgetfulness of life and death and honor and disgrace are the essence of the spirit of the Chinese god of wine. The phenomenon of world culture has amazing similarities. The spirit of the god of wine in the West is symbolized by Dionysus, the god of grape plantation and winemaking, and in ancient Greek tragedy, the spirit of the god of wine in the West has risen to a theoretical height, and the philosophy of the German philosopher Nietzsche sublimated this spirit of the god of wine, who believed that the spirit of the god of wine metaphorically signified the release of emotions, and was the experience of returning to the primitive state of existence by abandoning the traditional bondage and mankind's disappearance. In the wail of despair and agony of the unity of the individual and the world, human beings gain great pleasure in life. In the kingdom of literature and art, the spirit of the god of wine is omnipresent, and it has a great and far-reaching influence on literary artists and their works of excellence. For freedom, art, and beauty are a trinity; art is created by freedom, and beauty by art. The free state of art due to drunkenness is an important way for the artists of ancient China to free themselves from bondage and gain artistic creativity. Liu Ling, the famous scholar of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the first "drunkard", said in "Ode to Wine and Virtue", "There is a great man, Mr. Liu, who takes heaven and earth as a morning, ten thousand periods as a short time, the sun and the moon as Bibimbap, and the eight wildernesses as a court and a thoroughfare. " "The sky and the earth are the seats of the curtain, and I am indulgent as I wish." "Drunken and awake, I hear no sound of thunder, I see no mountain. I don't realize the cut muscles of heat and cold, and the feelings of profit and desire. Look down and see all things, disturbed as the rivers and rivers of floating weeds." This realm of "the most human" is the typical embodiment of the spirit of the Chinese god of wine. "Li Bai has written a hundred poems on drinking, and the wine lovers sleep in Chang'an. The Son of Heaven calls for me without getting into the boat, and claims that he is an immortal in wine." (Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking") "Drunkenly, I have been a guest, and my poems have become divine." (Du Fu's "Poetry by Drinking Alone") "Each one has his own will, and poetry comes from wine." (Su Shi, "Drinking Wine with Tao Yuanming") "A cup of wine has not yet been consumed, and the poem has become a poem, and I am shocked by it." (Yang Wanli, "Passing the Goblet under the Moon in the Valley of Wanhua River in February after the 9th day of the 9th lunar month"). Zhang Yuannian, a political poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, said, "After the rain, the flying flowers know the bottom number, and drunkenness wins the free body." Examples of drunkenness that led to the creation of legendary poems can be found throughout the history of Chinese poetry. Not only in poetry, but also in painting and calligraphy, which is a unique art of Chinese culture, the spirit of the god of wine is even more lively. Among the painters, Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting could not be easily obtained, so the seeker was treated with dog meat and wine, and in Zheng Banqiao's drunkenness, the seeker of calligraphy and painting could get what he wanted. Zheng Banqiao also know the trick of the painting seekers, but he could not resist the temptation of wine and dog meat, had to write a poem to laugh at themselves: "look at the moon may as well go all, the moon only hate the wine to come late. He laughed at the thick waterproof vegetation and asked for books, and then asked for Mr. Drunkenness." Wu Daozi, the painting saint of "Wu Dangfeng", must be drunk before painting to start writing, and after drunkenness for painting, waving the brush immediately. Huang Gongwang, one of the "Four Yuan Schools", was also a "drunkard who could not paint". "Sage of the Book" Wang Xizhi drunkenly waved the brush and made the "Lanting Preface", "Thuja strong and robust, no generation", and to sober up "more books dozens of books, and ultimately can not be and the". Li Bai wrote the drunken monk Huai Su: "my master drunkenly according to Hu bed, sweeping up thousands of sheets in a flash. Flying rain surprise soughing, falling flowers and snow." Waisu drunken ink, party left its gods and ghosts are shocked by the "self narrative post". Grass saint Zhang Xu "every drunk, call crazy walk, is the pen", so there is its "waving the pen down the paper like clouds of smoke" of the "ancient poetry four posts".
