The development of Chinese wine culture

Wine culture is an important part of China food culture. Wine is one of the oldest foods in human beings, and its history almost begins 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 synchronous with the history of economic development. Moreover, 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 only drinking, but also drinking culture. "The cup is small but big, and the sun and the moon grow in the pot." In any case, people should have a direct or indirect relationship with wine in social life. The materialization of this relationship is the taste of wine. The taste of wine is rich in the wine order, while the wine order is pure culture, which is the cultural essence of wine culture.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, wine lists appeared at banquets in the Yellow River Basin. The wine list is divided into vulgar list and elegant list. Guessing boxing is the representative of ordinary orders, and Yaling is a written order, which is usually welcomed by people with rich cultural knowledge. Bai Juyi said, "Being a poor official at leisure is better than listening to new songs drunk." People think that elegance at parties is more interesting than music with wine. Writing order includes word order, riddle order, preparation order, etc.

Liquor Decree is a combination of wine and games. For example, the pot-throwing game in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the "impromptu singing" between Qin and Han Dynasties are all a kind of wine order. However, after the game developed into a mandatory and conclusive game, it became a relaxed and serious cultural phenomenon. In the Western Han Dynasty, emperors had a big banquet and ordered Liu Zhang to supervise the drinking order. Liu Zhang invited him to make the drinking order according to the military orders. During the dinner, some Lu people escaped from the banquet and were beheaded by Liu Zhang with a sword, and were beheaded for drinking games. This may be a play in a play. This is the origin of "wine orders are like military orders". Tang and Song Dynasties were the most playful dynasties in ancient China, and the drinkers' wager game was of course colorful. Bai Juyi has the chant of "planting a red snail bowl and flying white jade" In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, wine made by going up one flight of stairs develop into a variety of things. In the Qing Dynasty, wine orders were divided into four categories: Zhan Ling, Ya Ling, your legend and Sheng Ling, and Sheng Ling was the highlight of wine orders.

Raising money, as the name implies, must be used in the drinking order, and raising money is the distinctive feature of this drinking order. When it comes to financing, we must first understand what financing is. This is an ancient computing tool. There was no calculator in ancient times, and bamboo was generally cut into thin slices for calculation. People who are good at calculation can get results without relying on calculators, so the chip extends to planning and planning. Liu Bang commented on Sean in Hanshu Gaudi: "I am not as good as an ovary because my husband won the battle thousands of miles away." Now military commanders will make operational plans indoors, which is called strategizing. Among them, preparation means planning, planning and planning. Since the Tang Dynasty, chips have two different uses in drinking: First, they are still used for counting, such as the "wine chips" in Bai Juyi's poem "Drunk Flowers for Wine". In this sense, chips can still be seen in later alcoholic drinks games. Their function is to count chips and then drink according to the number of chips obtained. The other one is more complicated. People are not satisfied with the original usage of raising money, but have turned it into a tool for making bills. The method of making chips is also very complicated. The chips made of silver, ivory, animal bones, bamboo and wood are engraved with various orders and wine agreements. When ordering food, shake the drum and draw chips in order, and then drink in the order specified by chips and wine order. According to the examination, the wine preparation of the Analects of Confucius in Tang Dynasty is the earliest known preparation order.

The size of the bag is very large, and the length is unlimited. There are 80 large financing orders in each round, including orders, so that China Bank can make orders.

It is precisely because of this feature that the preparatory work can draw materials from novels such as The West Chamber, The Water Margin, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, A Dream of Red Mansions, etc., and contain rich cultural phenomena such as the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes.

Wine culture is a part of China traditional culture, but it is also a special cultural phenomenon. Incredibly, in today's fast-paced modern life, several young people will sit in McDonald's and play Dream of Red Mansions slowly. However, as a traditional culture, wine-making is still a precious property left by our ancestors, which not only has certain cultural research value, but also has a certain civilized role in certain appropriate occasions. For example, in any case, it is better than "deep and boring" drinking, and "second brother is good, and the fifth champion is good" drinking. Because "arty" is always more tasteful than "vulgar". And "arty" is not a derogatory term.

Wine culture is the product of China's diet system, and its essence is agricultural culture. The wine prepared at the banquet is very cultural. Contestants, from ancient and modern masterpieces, poems and songs, to astronomy, geography and folk slang, must have a well-thought-out plan in order to perform well on the spot without being fined. People also exercised their agility and competitive spirit in the feast; It not only enlivens the atmosphere of diet, but also adds aesthetic taste.
