The Origin of China Wine China is the hometown of wine and the birthplace of wine culture, and it is one of the earliest countries in the world to make wine. Brewing has a long history in China. In the history of thousands of years of civilization development in China, the development of wine and culture basically went hand in hand. According to relevant data, the earliest wine on earth should be naturally fermented by wild fruits. Therefore, we can think that the emergence of wine is not an invention of human beings, but a creation of nature. Generally speaking, with wine, you can have wine vessels. Therefore, the premise of artificial brewing should start with the manufacture of pottery, otherwise it can't be brewed. Archaeology has proved that special wine vessels have appeared in Neolithic pottery products unearthed in modern times. This shows that our ancestors had a relationship with wine very early, and at that time, China's wine-making technology had begun to prevail. After Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were more and more drinking utensils. In Yangshao cultural site, there are both pottery pots and pottery cups. Among the unearthed Shang and Yin cultural relics, bronze wine vessels occupy a considerable proportion, indicating that the drinking atmosphere at that time was really prosperous. Moreover, we can infer from the records of Zhou Wang's "Taking wine as a pool, hanging meat as a forest" and "Drinking at night" in Historical Records Yin Benji, and the poems of "Rice is obtained in October, spring wine is for this" and "Spring wine is for this, one eyebrow lives long" in the Book of Songs that artificial brewing began about 6,000 years ago. Jiang Tong, a native of A Jin, wrote in "The Classic of Wine": "The prosperity of wine began with the emperor ... and there was endless food, leaving me with nothing to eat, which accumulated into a smell and smelled good for a long time. For this reason, it is not surprising. " It shows that cooked grain can be fermented into wine by itself if it is put in the wild under certain natural conditions. Inspired by this natural fermentation into wine, people gradually invented artificial brewing. China could make wine artificially in Xia Dynasty at the latest. For example, "Warring States Policy": "The emperor's daughter ordered Yidi to make wine and enter." According to archaeological excavations, there are many pottery wine vessels in Longshan cultural site, which are also recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Yeast unearthed from Shang Tomb in Taixi Village, Gaocheng County has been fermented underground for 3,000 years. Ban Gu of the Han Dynasty also explained the meaning of aromatic medicinal liquor in Bai Hu Tong Kao Dian. The earliest existing ancient wine in China was found in Tianhu Shang Dynasty cemetery in Mangzhang Township, Luoshan. It is packed in a bronze container, which is well sealed. Up to now, the components can be measured, which proves that every 100 ml of wine contains 8239 mg of ethyl formate vinegar, which is fruity, indicating that this wine is a mellow and fragrant wine, which is consistent with the records in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. By the Zhou Dynasty, brewing had developed into an independent handicraft workshop with a considerable scale, and there were management positions such as wine administration, wine man, man, pulp worker and big sister who specialized in brewing. Wine is a big drink created by people of all ethnic groups in the long-term historical development process. The oldest physical wine in the world is the wine unearthed in Zamaria, Iran, which is still mellow more than 3,000 years ago. The oldest physical wine in China is the imperial wine of Han Dynasty unearthed in Xi 'an. According to experts' research, it is grain wine (also certified as yellow rice wine by experts). As a yellow rice wine worker, I am very excited and lucky! ) It's delicious, delicious, amazing! In China's Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "wine" and words related to wine such as "Yi", "Zun" and "You" appeared very early. It can prove that wine has existed for a long time. As for the records in literature and history, there are countless more. For example, in China's first book of poetry, The Book of Songs, there is a poem about "Drunk with wine, full with virtue" (elegance means drunkenness). In Zhouyi, Zhou Li, Book of Rites, Zuo Zhuan and other ancient books, there are many records about ancient drinking customs, such as "drinking can support the elderly", which shows that wine has many uses. It is indispensable in life customs. China's Brewing History China has a long history of brewing, with a wide variety of famous wines, which are well-known at home and abroad. Legend has it that the man who invented wine is called Du Kang. When he was a long-term worker, he once accidentally put sorghum rice into a hole in a tree. After a long time, it is fermented into wine. So it was named "wine" at the beginning, and then the word "wine" came into being. Increase the historical allusions of "wine". When wine was produced is now impossible to verify. Yellow rice wine is one of the oldest wines in the world. About 3000 years ago, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China people created the compound fermentation method of distiller's yeast and began to brew a large number of yellow rice wine. About 1000 years ago in the Song Dynasty, China people invented the distillation method, and since then, liquor has become the main liquor for China people to drink. Liquor permeates the whole history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, and plays an important role in China people's life from the aspects of literary and artistic creation, culture and entertainment, diet and cooking, health care and health preservation, etc. Du Kang and Yi Di, the most legendary founders of China wine.
