The origin of carved wine

There is an ancient folk custom that a daughter chooses a few jars of wine and buries them in the ground on the full moon, and then takes them out to invite guests to drink until her daughter gets married. This is called daughter red. Perhaps it is because yellow rice wine is a specialty of Jiangnan that the name is so poetic. However, if the daughter dies young and the flowers have withered, the wine will no longer be called "Daughter Red" but "Flowers Withered", and it will be renamed "Flower Carving" because it is too sad.

There are different records, histories and legends about Huadiao wine. Generally speaking, the flower carvings originated from utensils are reliable. Although "Flower Xie" is romantic and sad, its credibility is not high.
