Who is the king of wine?

King Liu De, the son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and the younger brother of the fifth emperor Liu Che, is the wine king.

On the culture of offering the king

Liu De, son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and brother of Liu Che, the fifth emperor. In BC 155, he was made King of Hejian, and the capital of Hanshui River and most of its borders are in today's xian county. Liu De was in office for 26 years, because he was "smart and wise", he contributed half of the Confucian classics to the imperial court, and posthumous title was called "Xian", which was the domain name of xian county. Wang Xian devoted his whole life to collecting and sorting out the pre-Qin classics lost for a hundred years after the Qin Fire. His rigorous scholarship, discarding the false and retaining the true, revived and carried forward Confucian classics such as Poetry, Shu, Li, Yijing and Chunqiu, making Chinese culture the only uninterrupted civilization in human history. Ban Gu wrote "The Biography of Thirteen Kings of Hanshu", praising Wang Xian for "remembering the past and learning from the future". Xian county was not only called "the hometown of Five Classics" by Emperor Kanggan, but also became the origin of "seeking truth from facts". Mao Zedong wrote the motto of "seeking truth from facts" for the Central Party School in Yan 'an, and endowed it with brand-new philosophical connotation, making it the consistent ideological line of China's * * * production party. Deng Xiaoping said: "The basic point and essence of Mao Zedong Thought is seeking truth from facts".

The Origin of Wang Xian Wine

Today, the southern part of Cangzhou is the Hejian fief of Liu De, the king of the Western Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Yuan Guang (-130), Liu De dedicated Six Books of the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the current dynasty. That's really "the car is full of stains, enter Xi' an". The civil and military officials were shocked to see this mountain of letters. At that time, Liu De's "Offering Elegant Music", "Dealing with Sanyong Palace" and "Answering More than 30 Questions" were all "things in it, and the text was concise and to the point". Emperor Wu looked at it and said, God, this is not my brother, this is a saint arrival. So the surface is respectful, but the heart is hidden. First, he took the king to the military parade to show his personal power. Later, he "gave wine to Xuan" and said, "The soup is seventy Li, and the king of Wen is a hundred Li, and Wang Qimian did it. "It means: Shang Tang built a city of 70 miles, and Wen Jiancheng built a city of 100 miles (later, based on this, Shang Tang seized the summer and Wen Wang seized the business country). Your Hejian national city is not small either. I hope you continue to work hard! This is really a warning to the king: I hope you can take my country! After this warning, I still didn't think it was enough, so I said, I know my brother has a huge amount. In order to meet your needs, I sent seven court winemakers to Hejian to brew royal wine for you, and also to show my respect for my brother. Even if I give you a toast every day! King Xian was sweating like a pig at this time, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him again and returned to Hejian (now xian county) with seven sommeliers.

Another legend of this incident is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Yujiu a car full of books. Back in Hejian, in order to show that he would drink according to the emperor's will every day, he distributed the royal wine to Mao, Guan, Yan, Wang and other assistants, as well as 3,000 Confucianism in Rihua Palace and Scholar's Academy. After drinking for half a month, Liu De sent someone to Beijing to ask for wine. This happens every ten days, twice a month. It is fun and annoying to please Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The good news is that my wine has confused them, reduced their reputation and achieved their goal; What bothers me is a second-class wine, when is the head? So I simply sent seven court sommeliers to Hejian to make wine, saving me trouble and trouble.
