Chinese wine culture is an important part of Chinese diet culture. Wine is one of the oldest foods in human beings, and its history almost started with the history of human culture. Since the appearance of wine, as a kind of material culture, the forms of wine are various, and its development course is in sync with the history of economic development. And wine is not only a kind of food, but also has spiritual and cultural value.

As a spiritual culture, it is reflected in social and political life, literature and art, and even people's attitude towards life, aesthetic taste and many other aspects. In this sense, drinking is not just drinking, but also drinking culture.

Dionysian spirit:

Wine, in the long history of human culture, is not only an objective material existence, but also a cultural symbol, that is, a symbol of Dionysian spirit.

In China, the Dionysian spirit originated from Taoist philosophy. Zhuang Zhou advocated the unity of things and me, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death. Zhuang Zhou sang the song of absolute freedom and advocated "swimming by things", "swimming beyond the four seas" and "the land where there is nothing"

Zhuangzi would rather be a free turtle wagging its head in a muddy pond than a bound swift horse. The essence of China's Dionysian spirit lies in the pursuit of absolute freedom, forgetting the benefits of life and death, honor and disgrace.

There are striking similarities between world cultural phenomena. Dionysus, the god of grape planting and wine making, is the symbol of Dionysus in the west. In the ancient Greek tragedy, the western Dionysus spirit rose to a theoretical height, and the philosophy of German philosopher Nietzsche sublimated this Dionysus spirit.
