According to the precepts, monks are not allowed to drink alcohol, but they can drink plain wine. The so-called vegetarian wine refers to the wine used to worship Buddha in temples, which is different from the traditional white wine (meat wine). Plain wine is not distilled, but the distiller's grains are filtered by a filtering device, and then the filtered liquid is boiled to prevent it from being broken. So at this time of the wine, the Monkey King and eight quit to drink.

In addition to the above technological differences, there are differences in raw materials between vegetarian wine and meat wine.

Liquor brewed with coarse grains, rice, grapes and other grains, fruits and vegetables is called vegetarian wine, but it is generally low in degree to avoid drunkenness. But meat wine not only refers to alcohol, but also includes chicken, duck, fish, oil and other meat dishes. Meat also refers to meat and spicy food, and refers to food with bad taste, such as garlic and various onions. Often meat, wine, meat and wine are all said together?

Meat wine and vegetarian wine will also be very different in eating occasions.

Pure wine is often used in sacrificial ceremonies or only for monks in temples. Tang Priest is very strict with himself, never breaking the precepts voluntarily, but he can't refuse the sweetness of sake.

Meat wine is mostly used in lively occasions, and its alcohol content is extremely high, which makes it easy to get rude. At the time of lust, the height of meat and wine is indispensable. It is precisely because meat wine is often too high, which makes people lose their minds easily. Therefore, monks are most taboo to drink big wine. After drinking, what they did was not worth the loss.

During the Journey to the West, Tang Priest was often kidnapped and even forced to get married. The demon who wants to marry him is to worship his vegetarian wine. In fact, Tang priest, a vegetarian wine, is also greedy. In the absence of condiments in ancient times, the taste of vegetarian wine was sweet and often mouth-watering, but the monk's precepts stipulated that he should not be greedy, so he controlled his mouth-watering.
