Brief introduction of wine culture

Wine culture refers to the material culture and spiritual culture produced in the process of wine production, sales and consumption. Wine culture includes wine-making methods, wine tasting methods, wine functions, wine history and other wine cultural phenomena. It not only has the material characteristics of wine itself, but also has the spiritual connotation formed by wine tasting. It is a specific cultural form formed in the process of wine-making and drinking activities. Wine culture has a long history in China. Many literati wrote wine tasting and wine tasting works, leaving many stories about Dionysus, such as fighting wine, writing poems, painting, keeping in good health, feasting and farewell dinner. As a special cultural carrier, wine occupies a unique position in human communication. Wine culture has penetrated into all fields of human social life, and has great influence and function on literature and art, medical care, industrial and agricultural production, political economy and other aspects.

China is an ancient civilization in the Li Zhuo world and the hometown of wine. In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, wine and wine culture have always occupied an important position. Wine is a special food, which belongs to the material, but at the same time it is integrated into people's spiritual life.

As a special cultural form, wine culture has its unique position in China traditional culture. In the history of civilization for thousands of years, wine has almost penetrated into all fields of social life. First of all, China is a country based on agriculture, so all political and economic activities are based on agricultural development. Most of the wines in China are brewed from grain, and wine is closely linked with agriculture and becomes a part of agricultural economy. The prosperity of grain production is a barometer of the rise and fall of wine industry. According to the grain harvest, the rulers of various dynasties regulated the production of wine by issuing or opening bans, thus ensuring the people's food. In some places, the prosperity of wine industry has played a positive role in improving the living standards of local society. Alcohol is closely related to social and economic activities. Since the implementation of the national liquor monopoly policy in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the liquor monopoly fee or special tax collected from the brewing industry has become one of the main sources of national fiscal revenue. Wine tax revenue is also related to the military expenditure and war in history, which is directly related to the life and death of the country. In some dynasties, wine tax (or monopoly revenue of wine) was also related to corvee and other forms of taxation. The rich profits of wine often become the fat meat that countries, businessmen and rich people compete for. The alternation of different wine administrations reflects the comparative changes in the strength of all walks of life. The release of wine orders is often related to the change of dynasties, emperors and some major royal activities. As a special commodity, wine adds rich colors to people's lives. The ancients in China divided the functions of wine into three categories: wine for treating diseases, wine for providing for the aged and wine for giving gifts. For thousands of years, the role of wine is far more than these three, at least including: wine makes you happy, wine forgets your worries, and wine emboldens you.
