Origin and Introduction of Tujia Bowling Wine

"Bowling wine" originated from Tujia nationality and is said to have originated from Zhou Dynasty. According to local accounts, it is related to Man Zi, the ancestor of Tujia heroes. At that time, General Ba Man Zi went to Chu for reinforcements due to domestic difficulties, and Chu asked Ba to let the three cities.

After Chu soldiers rescued Pakistan, Chu envoys asked Pakistan to cede the city. Man Zi couldn't bear to cut down the city of his own country, so he cut off his head for the city. Rebuild credibility and protect the country. "Thank my head, there can't be a city!" Before beheading, break the bowl after drinking wine, and then draw your sword to commit suicide. This kind of righteous man is rare in the world, and it is tragic enough to think about it. In order to commemorate him, later generations smashed some wine bowls and learned from his heroism, his demeanor, his sacrifice for justice, his determination and sincerity.

Drink a bowl of wine. After drinking, break the bowl.

The bowl thrown out by "throwing a bowl of wine" is a local earthen dish baked in a local earthen kiln. It is khaki and glazed at the mouth to prevent scratching. The diameter is less than 3 cm, and the cost is about 3 cents. Wine is usually not white wine, but Tujia rice wine, which is not high in degree. Not every time, just one or two, drink it, drip it, and then pour it. Tujia people break down a glass of wine into countless "bowls", really for an atmosphere, in order to drop more bowls, in order to make the pub more and more crackling, the wine didn't drink much, and the bowls fell all over the floor, which was very lively.

Ba people respect nature and advocate ecology. Drinking in a mud bowl is grounded. If the bowl is broken, it will not be wasted. Bowl residue will be collected for building backfill, planting flowers, mat, or become soil in a few years.
