China's Eurasian grapes (that is, grapes widely planted all over the world) were brought from Dawan in the first year of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, when the famous explorer Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions (BC 138- BC 1 19). Although the technology of grape and wine production was introduced in Han dynasty, it did not spread. After the Han Dynasty, grapes were probably no longer planted in the Central Plains. Some remote areas often pay tribute to the royal families of past dynasties in the form of tribute wine. During the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains knew nothing about wine. Emperor Taizong introduced grapes from the Western Regions, and Volume C records: "Emperor Taizong broke Gaochang, harvested horse-milk grapes and planted them in the garden, and got the wine method.

Liu Yuxi (772-842) also wrote a poem praising wine, saying, "I'm from Jin, so I can't get enough of this kind of jade every day. "This shows that at that time, Shanxi had planted grapes and brewed wine. Both Bai Juyi and Li Bai wrote poems about wine. At that time, Ren Hu also opened a hotel in Chang 'an, selling wine from the western regions. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty loved wine very much, and it was stipulated that wine must be used for ancestor worship. Taiyuan, Shanxi and Nanjing, Jiangsu all opened vineyards. In the 28th year of Yuan Dynasty, there was a wine room in the palace. It is even recorded that "to tell the truth, when you arrive in Taihang Mountain, what is really in the water will flow, and what is not allowed to take water will freeze." There are also a large number of commercial wines on the market. Kyle. In China's Travels, Poirot said: In Taiyuan, Shanxi, there are many good vineyards, which produce a lot of wine and sell it all over the world.
