An Analysis of Chinese and Western Wine Culture
Abstract: Culture is the sum of material and spiritual cultures created by human beings in the course of history, and there is an obvious difference between Chinese and Western wine culture in terms of wine culture. Western wine culture generally refers to wine culture, while Chinese wine culture is liquor culture. This paper briefly introduces the differences between Chinese and Western wine culture and the reasons for these differences from the origin of wine, the relationship between wine and religion, the use of wine vessels, drinking etiquette and the social functions of wine.
Keywords: wine culture, cultural differences, culture
Wine culture, as an aspect of the cultural system, like other aspects, has a profound social background for its formation process and geographical differences. Social as well as historical factors have shaped the ultimate differences in culture. Only by grasping the differences between Chinese and Western cultures in all aspects can we promote cultural exchanges between China and the West.
1. The Origin of Wine
In terms of the raw materials used for brewing wine, in the Yellow River Valley, where the early Chinese culture originated, the climate was mild and the development of crops was more advanced, so the people used the grain to brew yellow wine and baijiu, which have Chinese characteristics. On the other hand, in the ancient Greek region of the Balkan Peninsula, which is known as the cradle of Western civilization, the territory is mountainous and the soil is infertile, which is not suitable for the growth of crops, but very suitable for the growth of grapes, so the brewing of wine has become a representative of the Western wine culture. As for the worship of the god of wine, from the aspect of myths and legends, the earliest origin of wine in the West is Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, who is said to be the earliest grower of grapes and brewer of wine. In China, there is no clear god of wine in Chinese history, and it is widely believed that Yi Di or Du Kang is the ancestor of wine in China.
2. Religion and Wine Culture
In terms of religion, ____ is the dominant religion in the West, and wine is mentioned many times in the Bible. Jesus said at the Last Supper after knowing his fate that bread is my flesh and wine is my blood, and asked people to remember that he died to atone for the sins of mankind. Therefore Christ ____ wine is regarded as holy blood, and the planting of grapes as well as the making of wine is regarded as work by the church personnel, and in this context, people are in a mood of admiration and love for wine. In China, the influence of Buddhism is widespread, and Buddhist teachings are against drinking alcohol, both at home and in the precepts of monks, all prohibit the consumption of alcohol. People listen to the precepts of Buddhism and try to control their drinking as much as possible. In addition, China's liquor is mostly grain wine, so people are a more cautious attitude towards drinking.
3. The use of wine vessels
In both the West and China, the importance attached to wine vessels is evident: the materials used to make them, the final shape, and the quality of the workmanship are all different. In traditional Chinese culture, depending on the material, the user and the period, wine vessels are known by many names, such as zun, jug, jue, horn, goblet, cup, goblet, yi, wine container, wine vessel, vase, ampoule, etc. The list goes on and on. and ampoules, to name but a few. The variety of Chinese wine vessels is not only due to the material reforms brought about by the change of time and thus productivity, but also because in the feudal hierarchical society of China, the use of wine vessels was even more imprinted with the brand of hierarchy, and different wine vessels represented different status. There are many kinds of wine vessels in western countries, but to a certain extent, the wine vessels in western countries are basically based on transparent glass cups with different shapes. Transparent goblet is the typical representative of the Western drinking utensils, but according to the different glasses for different kinds of wine, the shape of this goblet is very different, such as tulip-type champagne glass, short pear-shaped brandy glass and so on. Westerners are no less particular about their drinking vessels than Chinese. But the Chinese wine vessel is more reflective of the user's identity, the Western wine vessel is more to set off the wine itself artistry.
4. Drinking etiquette
Drinking etiquette exists in both Chinese and Western cultures, but the biggest difference between the two is that Chinese culture is better at persuading people to drink. The Chinese are more lively when drinking together, but the Chinese are better at persuading people to drink together. The practice of persuading people to drink is a way of making a toast, and it is a custom that has been gradually formed by the Chinese people in the course of history. In feudal society, there was a clear hierarchy, and when many people drank together, the humble and the young had to make a toast to the honorable and the eldest. It is not easy to count the number of toasts made during a meal. There is a great deal to be learned about the words of the toast, the posture of the toast, how much one drinks, how much others drink, how much one toasts, how much one is toasted, and how much one is toasted. In Western countries, democracy and self-consciousness prevail, and this is also reflected in drinking. First of all, because of the different shapes of goblets, there are different ways of holding them, and the correct posture is also an aspect of etiquette. At a Western dinner table, drinkers also raise their glasses to each other, but how much they drink at a time is entirely a matter of personal preference. In a formal Western dinner, the number of toasts (toast propose) is also generally once, this time is also generally facing all the guests present, the toast is essential.
5. The social function of wine
Westerners regard wine as a work of art: the brewing of wine is regarded as a work of art; drinking wine is also regarded as a kind of appreciation and taste of art, the interest of drinking wine is in the wine itself, so you can often see Westerners in the absence of meals and just taste the wine scene. Chinese people use wine as a tool for communication or expression of feelings, often "drunkenness is not the intention of wine", the pleasure of drinking wine is not in the wine itself, but with whom and in what mood, generally speaking, the Chinese people can not leave the table to drink wine. Chinese people are more concerned about the dishes when they dine, and the wine is a wine from the beginning to the end. But in Western cuisine, they eat a dish to change a kind of wine, generally eat salads and cold snacks drink dry white wine, eat the first course drink dry white, dry red or rose wine, eat seafood dishes drink a high degree of dry white wine, eat meat and poultry dishes drink a high degree of dry red wine, eat desserts drink dessert wine or champagne. For a formal dinner, three or five courses are served, each of which is accompanied by a wine. In addition, there are aperitifs before the meal and cocktails or distillates such as whisky or brandy at the end of the meal. In this way, a meal must require five or six kinds of wine.
Overall, Chinese and Western wine cultures differ in various ways, and these differences are due to different factors. Exploring the reasons for the differences will help us to better understand the wine culture, which in turn will help us to better understand the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and to promote the exchange between Chinese and Western cultures.

I. The Drinking Customs in the Water Tribe's Duanjie and Moujie
(1) Wine and the Water Tribe's Duanjie
The Duanjie is known as the "Borrowed Duan" in the water language. Duan" means "the first day of the year" or "New Year's Day"; "Borrow" means "eat". "to eat". Therefore, the end of the festival can also be directly translated as "eat the year", meaning "New Year". The date of the end of the Water Tribe Festival to the water calendar shall prevail, the water calendar in September for the first year, the end of the Festival was set on the ninth day of the ninth month, commonly known as the "water year? f3J(r}s}0)In order to facilitate visits to each other, the Water Tribe area is staged in batches to take turns in the end of the festival. In the Water Tribe end of the festival, wine is indispensable.
At about five o'clock in the morning on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the villagers of the Water Tribe begin to cook fish wrapped in leeks and glutinous rice, and after cooking, they bring it to the wine table in front of the ancestors' spirit level to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.
All four sides of the wine table should be filled with wine glasses, which can only be more than the number of people who come to celebrate the New Year, and are not allowed to be less, which is meant to be a good omen. After dawn, the entire clan went from house to house to celebrate the new year, the water language called "young end". Each to a family, the group in order of seniority in front of the wine table in a circle, each person with the right hand to raise their own cup or bowl of wine to the right side of the mouth of the clan, everyone at the same time shouted "show", from the master of the house to start drinking, and the drinker must be a toast, and then in everyone "show The drinker must drink a toast, and then pour the wine from his own cup into the mouth of the next person as everyone shouts "Xiu". This is the "spinning wine" of the water tribe.
Some ethnic minorities also have the custom of drinking "rotary wine", generally a person only drink a VI on the drink has been passed to the next glass. The Water Tribe's "spinning wine" is different, although it is also to pass the way to drink, but everyone must have a cup of wine in hand, the left side of the person will be held in the right hand of the cup to the right side of the person's mouth, the cup to the wine dry. The Water People go from house to house and drink the New Year's Eve wine before going home to receive guests. In the Water Tribe's end of the festival, this "spinning wine" is not only limited to the clan, to meet guests from afar into the home will also be the most expressive of the warmth of the heart of the "spinning wine" to treat.
The custom of drinking "spinning wine" in the Water Festival is a form of expression of the communal distribution system of the clan society, which can enhance the affinity of the nation; this is also related to the ancestors of the water tribe in the long-term historical process***. This also has a direct relationship with the way of life of the ancestors of the Shui ethnic group in the long historical process*** with the defense against natural disasters and foreign invasions, and it is also an important way of remembering the national cultural traditions. Today, the custom of drinking wine in the Water Tribe's Duan Festival has become an important way of uniting the nation and condensing people's hearts.
(2) Wine and Water Tribe Duanjie
Water Tribe Duanjie and Duanjie are in fact New Year's Eve, according to the tradition, it has always been the Duanjie area is not Duanjie, and the Duanjie area is not Duanjie. Daw Festival, the water language called "borrowing daw", meaning eating daw. Aqua d Festival date is also based on the aquatic calendar to project the specific date of the water calendar nine, October (i.e., the lunar calendar in May and June) within the d day in four batches over the festival. The tenth month of the water calendar is called "the time when the green life is the most vigorous" in the water book, and the Simao day is called "the most favorable day". The division of the Mao Festival into batches is a customary practice. The first three batches of the festival are in the territory of Libo, and the fourth batch of the festival, in addition to Jiuchian, Shuiguo and Zhouqin in Sandu Water Autonomous County, the water people of Long Horn Miao, Shui-Wei and Yongkang townships in Libo also celebrate the festival on this last batch of the day.
On the day of Mao Day, people in all villages will receive friends and relatives in the village door El, in the village door VI are equipped with "barricade door wine". Water Tribe's "barricade wine" by three to five young girls host, guests to the village door, the girls immediately for each guest from afar on a bowl of "barricade wine", and then by the young and strong to welcome guests into the home. Water tribe hospitality has always been "to wine as Shang, to drunkenness for fun, to drunkenness for honor" concept, so in the d festival, will also be like the end of the festival, with the most enthusiastic "turn around the wine" hospitality, in short, to let the guests enjoy themselves, drunkenness, the more, the more the host feels the glory.
After a full meal, people from all villages dressed in costumes from all directions rushed to the slope of the daughters of the song. This day, not only over the d festival of the aquatic village village young people to go on the slope of the d song, is not the d festival outside the village of men, women and children will also come to participate in the event. In the dao slope of the bushes, grass, rocks, young men and women are looking for their favorite people to sing, the lyrics are improvised singing, the main content is young men and women to tell each other their love, if the love of the heart, you can get married. This is an important reason why the festival has been welcomed by the young men and women of the water tribe.
Second, wine and funeral customs of the water tribe
The water is a very worship ancestors of the nation, there is the concept of soul immortality. After the death of a loved one who was good at drinking and loved wine and even addicted to wine, it is still necessary to let him drink wine as if he was born in another world. Therefore, the water tribe in the old man died, offerings in the wine is a must, and are home brewed rice wine. In the Sandu Water Autonomous County Jiuqian area, regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, the old man at the age of 60 years old or so, specially hand-brewed a jar of wine, and then to the earth altar sealed cellar, until the old man passed away that day only by the children and grandchildren out of the loved ones and close neighbors to taste.
The longer the old man lives, the longer the wine is stored in the cellar, the more flavorful it is. This is not only a purely material enjoyment, but also contains the cultural psychology of the aquatic people who want to prolong their lives.
On the day of the funeral, the most important thing that relatives and friends bring to the funeral is wine. The amount of wine varies, depending on the relationship between the mourners and the owner of the funeral, as many as dozens of pounds, as little as one or two pounds. The mourners put bottles or jars of wine on the table in front of the coffin, and if there is too much wine, they pour it into a vat so that they can take it and serve it to their guests. However, the wine brought by relatives should not be poured out completely, and at least a little wine should be left in the wine jar or bottle. Because in the exemption of the living to the deceased's fear of psychology and send the good wishes of the deceased in the mourning ceremony, aquatic consciousness on the wine already has a surreal illusionary function, mourning with the wine is out of both the psychology of avoiding evil spirits, but also a blessing to the host family, in the wine jar to stay a little bit of wine is a kind of blessing, is the owner of the relatives of a kind of blessing, I wish them every year more wine. It can be said that a strong sense of group consciousness is one of the psychological characteristics of the water tribe, this psychological trait is particularly evident in the funeral activities.
On the day of the funeral, there is a special custom in the water tribe, that is, in the singing of sacrificial songs to the singer pouring wine. This way of pouring wine is also very delicate.
At the end of the funeral run by all relatives, the mourners move a four-square table from their homes and place it on the chosen wide field. In the center of the table are placed one catty of popping candy, two packages of white sugar, two blocks of tofu, and one plate each of oranges and apples. After the male and female singers sit on one side, the mourners in front of the singers are placed five cups of wine, and then in the table side of the vacant position are all set on the wine cups, and poured full of wine for the audience to drink wine. When the auspicious moment arrives, the mourning family immediately pours the wine, and while pouring the wine, the singers begin to sing the aquatic festival song. The order of pouring the wine is very delicate, the filial son pours the first cup of wine first, followed by the filial daughter and the daughter-in-law of the filial master, the grandchildren, and finally the cousins of the blood relatives. This custom in the funeral of the water tribe also reflects a cultural psychology, they attach great importance to filial piety, singers are invited to sing songs on the one hand to show respect for the elders, on the other hand, it is also a song to send the heart of mourning.
Third, wine and marriage customs of the water tribe
In the marriage, wine, as a special drink loved by many peoples, embodies an important function of the medium. As a water tribe with a long history of brewing, wine is throughout the whole process of marriage.

Waiting for the woman to kill the pig, the second banquet began. This is the main banquet, the main banquet in the marriage of the water tribe is different from many ethnic groups, the two sides of the men and women must be separated from the table.
According to the Shui marriage customs, the banquet to half of the time, the bride to the wine table to toast. The bride first offered to his father, which is called "thanksgiving wine". Then the matchmaker will come up to introduce the groom's father, the clever bride will immediately answer: "Father, from today onwards I am your child, the child here to pour a cup of wine to the father." This is called "recognizing the father wine". After the man's father has made a toast, he usually puts a prepared red envelope in the wine glass before handing it over to show that he is very happy. The bride poured wine in the process, all the guests from the male party will send red envelopes after drinking, but the bride's brothers from the same village do not send red envelopes after drinking.

Before receiving the dowry, the men of both sides must fulfill a series of solemn and complex procedures in front of the ancestors, and thus showing a variety of drinking customs.
1. Vow wedding wine. First of all, the two sides of the brother to come up instead of the bride and groom to drink "wedding vows", and there is a wonderful dialog.
The woman's brother: "You now marry the sister, I wish you blessings such as the East China Sea, life than South Mountain. Don't use her as a plank for drying rice, don't use her as a washcloth, don't play with her." (Chinese translation of the water language, below.)
Brother of the man: "Now you can rest assured that I will take her back to my house as if she were a god, and will treat her well and treat her kindly, and will not play with her."
Then the matchmaker handed over two cups of wine and said, "Now you two have sworn in place of the bride and groom to keep your word, please drink this cup of ? Vow Wine?"
2. Sweet wine.

At this time, the bride's family will send an eloquent person to wait at the place where the horse is tethered, and the man will also send a representative who can speak and argue, which has been arranged long ago, to go and take the horse. Next to the horses, several four-square tables will be set up, on which three large bowls will be placed and filled with wine. When the male representative goes to take the horse, the female representative will make it difficult by forgetting to feed the horse, and ask the male representative to drink the wine on the table instead of the horse. The man cannot refuse, and if he does not want to drink in place of the horse, he will not be able to take the horse away. This is the "horse wine".
After drinking the "Horse Wine", the female representative takes the male representative to a pre-determined soup pot line to drink a bowl of wine called "Soup Pot Wine" on the grounds that the horse wants to go up to the soup pot line to eat soup pot.
It is not easy to lead a horse in a marriage ceremony, but there are many ways to stop the wine, the most famous of which are the "horse wine" and "soup pot wine" mentioned above. Of course, the people who can speak will argue on behalf of the horse drink wine will be a little less, eloquent poor people a few bowls into the belly after the horse can not be held, it will make a joke. Water tribe drink "horse wine" process is both humorous and vivid, adding to the wedding in the joy of its unique ethnic cultural atmosphere makes people happy.

After the start of the main table, the man's female singer sang the first song: "Our three families asked me to pour the wine, our four families asked me to pour the tea, I pour the wine is also poured to you, I pour the tea is also poured to you. Mentioning this cup of wine, I wonder if Auntie accepts it? Sister and sister ****ing ha hai hai!" (Italian translation) Female singer duet: "Sitting beside you should drink two bowls, sitting beside Auntie should drink five bowls, if you don't drink, both sides will be unhappy. I can't learn to drink with mom, I don't know which day I'll learn. When I came to Grandma's side, I was told to speak, if I could speak, we would laugh together. Sitting at the table, which one is stingy? Let's all join in a toast!" (Interpretation) The crowd raises their cups and takes a drink, and then proceeds to sing. The Shui marriages attach great importance to the singing of drinking songs, which are usually sung for a whole night, while some areas sing for three consecutive nights, such as Tingpai Township in Sandu Shui Autonomous County has such a custom.
