Hexi Corridor has been the only place where the Silk Road passes since ancient times. In the Hexi Corridor, there are five cities from west to east, which are Wuwei (called Liangzhou in ancient times), Jinchang, Zhangye (called Ganzhou in ancient times), Jiuquan (called Suzhou in ancient times) and Jiayuguan. Among these five cities, Wuwei and Zhangye are famous historical and cultural cities in China. Together with Jiuquan and Dunhuang, they are called "Four Counties in Hexi". The rich Hexi Corridor gave birth to a rich and unique wine culture. Jiuquan, in particular, seems to have had an indissoluble bond with wine since ancient times. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem entitled "drinking Alone with the Moon": "If the sky doesn't love wine, the wine star is not in the sky, and if the earth doesn't love wine, there should be no Jiuquan." Speaking of Hexi Corridor, we can't help but talk about the wine in Hexi Corridor. Perhaps it is because Hexi has been a nomadic place for ethnic minorities such as Xiongnu, Yueshi and Huihe in the ancient north. People here have inherited the habit of drinking by ethnic minorities, and everyone, regardless of sex, age and age, can drink two ounces. There is a saying in the folk custom that "no wine, no table". Speaking of wine in Hexi, let's talk about the wineries and brands here first. It is no exaggeration to say that there are wineries in almost counties in Hexi. There are also many kinds of wine, including white wine, red wine (wine) and beer, as well as yellow rice wine from Zhangye and highland barley wine that ethnic minorities like to drink. The brands of liquor are Huangtai Liquor from Wuwei, Siluchun Liquor from Zhangye, Binhe Liquor, Hanwu Royal Liquor from Jiuquan and Xiongguan Liquor from Jiayuguan, among which Huangtai Liquor from Wuwei and Siluchun from Zhangye are the most famous. Looking at red wine again, although people in Hexi mainly drink white wine, they have gradually started drinking red wine in recent years. Red wine is mainly Mogao series produced in Wuwei and Qilian series and Guofeng series produced in Zhangye. Among them, the brewing technology of ice white and ice red in Qilian of Zhangye has reached the domestic advanced level, and the products have a place in the province and even in China. There are Xiliang beer produced in Wuwei, ginger beer and fruit beer produced by Zhangye Wusongyuan Group, and Sunshine beer in Jiuquan. In addition, Linze County of Zhangye City has also newly developed the wine brewed with Linze jujube, a Chinese time-honored local product, which has a unique flavor. If you visit the Horseshoe Temple Scenic Area in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, Zhangye City, Yugur girls will give you white Hada for singing melodious toast song, and of course, you will have to drink three silver bowls of highland barley wine, and the singing will keep you drunk.
Hexi Corridor has been rich in fine wine since ancient times, and people here are also famous for their love and ability to drink. It is better to call Hexi Lounge than Hexi Corridor.
Nature has created a magnificent Hexi Corridor, and Hexi Corridor has created a splendid silk road culture and wine culture. People living in this land, like the fine wine brewed by themselves, are frank and generous. If they want to drink it, they will have a good time, and if they want to get drunk, they will get drunk. Life is like wine, wine is like life. "Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately rush. Drunk and lying in the sand, you don't laugh. How many people have fought in ancient times? "
