What auspicious wine do you drink in the cold dew season? Brief introduction of auspicious wine

1, the auspicious wine to drink in the cold dew season is chrysanthemum wine. Chrysanthemum wine is a kind of wine made of chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and koji. Longevity wine is called in ancient times, and it tastes cool and sweet. There are medlar chrysanthemum wine, flower cake chrysanthemum wine and white chrysanthemum wine. Chrysanthemum wine, in ancient times, was regarded as the "auspicious wine" that Chongyang must drink to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.

2. Cold dew is near the Double Ninth Festival. At this time, chrysanthemums are in full bloom. In order to get rid of autumn dryness, some areas have the custom of drinking "chrysanthemum wine". This custom, together with climbing, gradually moved to the Double Ninth Festival. Chrysanthemum wine takes chrysanthemum as raw material, with glutinous rice and distiller's yeast, which is called "longevity wine" in ancient times. It tastes cool and sweet.

On the day of cold dew, the ancients also took the water from the well and made it into pills or medicinal liquor to nourish the five internal organs. The ancient book records: "On September 9th, gather chrysanthemums, poria cocos and turpentine, and take them for a long time to make people not old." Drinking chrysanthemum wine with dogwood in Chongyang season can protect the body from wind and evil brought by early cold.
