What are the characteristics of Chinese wine culture?

Wine has a history of more than 7,000 years in China and is recognized as the home of wine in the world. Wine from the birth of the beginning, to get rid of the purely specific "thing" state, from the Yellow Emperor said that wine, heaven said that wine to Dukang said that wine, from the Yi Di offer wine to the cup of wine to release the military power, from the Panama gold in 1915 to the Maotai diplomacy ......, wine and human politics, Economy, military, culture and art are closely linked, and gradually accumulated and sublimated into a spiritual category of "culture", which has become a splendid pearl in the treasure house of traditional Chinese culture. Chinese people drink wine not for the sake of drinking, but more for the spiritual life, pay attention to "wine etiquette", "wine morality", pay attention to the unity of heaven, earth and human beings, pay attention to the fun of drinking, and at the same time, supplemented with poems, riddles and a variety of games, sublimating drinking into a high-level spiritual activities. Drinking alcohol was sublimated into a high-level spiritual activity.

Wine culture is not only expressed through wine, but also through the character and behavioral methods acquired by human beings in transforming the natural environment, as well as the composite of customs, manners and consciousness accumulated therefrom. With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the content of wine culture is also getting richer and richer.

First of all, Chinese wine culture embodies a kind of high-level material or spiritual needs. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, human beings will pursue alcohol consumption only after their survival needs are guaranteed. Therefore, the consumption of alcohol is a kind of high-level material enjoyment or spiritual enjoyment, and it is a kind of "sensual commodity" based on cultural value.

Secondly, the content of Chinese wine culture is broad and multidimensional. Wine culture is manifested in the exploration and improvement of brewing technology and techniques, thousands of years of accumulated experience, both the formation of a unique scientific and technological disciplines, but also the historical and cultural accumulation of brewing technology; in the drinking utensils, a wide variety of wine reflect the people in the ceramic technology, firing technology and art appreciation of the historical process, so people from the other side of the interpretation and feelings of China's long history and cultural connotations; folk drinking The folk drinking, honoring the gods and sacrificial rituals, and the law of respect for the young and the old, are not the most direct manifestations of the wine culture; Chinese literary history of successive generations of writers and scholars of wine, wine, wine, wine poetry, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine songs, wine, wine, wine, wine and other literary masterpieces to the future generations left behind a breathtaking admiration. Therefore, "wine is the yeast of Chinese literature".

Once again, Chinese wine culture is subtle and restrained. As Chinese wine culture is influenced by Confucian ethics and morality, it has formed a Confucian wine culture with "wine etiquette" and "wine morality" as its main content, and wine is regarded as a symbol of etiquette, and drinking is an important way for people to learn etiquette and practice etiquette, and to achieve the unity of man and heaven. Drinking wine is an important way for people to learn and practice etiquette and to achieve the unity of man and heaven. Thus, Confucius once proposed that the virtue of wine is "only the amount of wine, less than chaos", that is, the amount of alcohol consumption varies from person to person, there is no specific amount of restriction, but after drinking alcohol to maintain mental sobriety, not to debauchery, or else it is not the virtue of wine.

And the nostalgia of Chinese wine culture. The production or consumption of alcohol is y imprinted by the traditional alcohol culture, which still absolutely influences people's alcohol production methods and consumption habits. For example, people generally believe that "wine is fragrant when it is old", and those who are used to drinking strong-flavored wines do not like soy sauce-flavored wines, etc. This is the inherent inertia shown by most people under the influence of traditional thinking. This obvious inertia is the performance of wine culture nostalgia.
