The Origin of China Wine

China is the hometown of wine, the birthplace of wine culture and one of the earliest countries in the world. Brewing has a long history in China. In the history of thousands of years of civilization development in China, the development of wine and culture basically went hand in hand.

According to relevant data, the earliest wine on earth should be naturally fermented by wild fruits. Therefore, we can think that the emergence of wine is not an invention of human beings, but a creation of nature. Generally speaking, with wine, you can have wine vessels. Therefore, the premise of artificial brewing should start with the manufacture of pottery, otherwise it can't be brewed. Archaeology has proved that special wine vessels have appeared in Neolithic pottery products unearthed in modern times. This shows that our ancestors had a relationship with wine very early, and at that time, China's wine-making technology had begun to prevail. After Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were more and more drinking utensils. In Yangshao cultural site, there are both pottery pots and pottery cups. Among the unearthed Shang and Yin cultural relics, bronze wine vessels occupy a considerable proportion, indicating that the drinking atmosphere at that time was really prosperous. Moreover, we can infer from the records of Zhou Wang's "Taking wine as a pool, hanging meat as a forest" and "Drinking at night" in Historical Records Yin Benji, and the poems of "Rice is obtained in October, spring wine is for this" and "Spring wine is for this, one eyebrow lives long" in the Book of Songs that artificial brewing began about 6,000 years ago.

Wine is a big drink created by people of all ethnic groups in the long-term historical development process. The oldest physical wine in the world is the wine unearthed in Zamaria, Iran, which is still mellow more than 3,000 years ago. The oldest physical wine in China is the imperial wine of Han Dynasty unearthed in Xi 'an. According to experts' research, it is grain wine (also certified as yellow rice wine by experts). As a yellow rice wine worker, I am very excited and lucky! ) It's delicious, delicious, amazing! In China's Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "wine" and words related to wine such as "Yi", "Zun" and "You" appeared very early. It can prove that wine has existed for a long time. As for the records in literature and history, there are countless more. For example, in China's first book of poetry, The Book of Songs, there is a poem about "Drunk with wine, full with virtue" (elegance means drunkenness). In Zhouyi, Zhou Li, Book of Rites, Zuo Zhuan and other ancient books, there are many records about ancient drinking customs, such as "drinking can support the elderly", which shows that wine has many uses. It is indispensable in life customs.

History of China's Brewing

China has a long history of wine-making, with a variety of famous wines, which enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Legend has it that the man who invented wine is called Du Kang. When he was a long-term worker, he once accidentally put sorghum rice into a hole in a tree. After a long time, it is fermented into wine. So it was named "wine" at the beginning, and then the word "wine" came into being. Increase the historical allusions of "wine". When wine was produced is now impossible to verify.

Yellow rice wine is one of the oldest wines in the world. About 3000 years ago, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China people created the compound fermentation method of distiller's yeast and began to brew a large number of yellow rice wine. About 1000 years ago in the Song Dynasty, China people invented the distillation method, and since then, liquor has become the main liquor for China people to drink. Liquor permeates the whole history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, and plays an important role in China people's life from the aspects of literary and artistic creation, culture and entertainment, diet and cooking, health care and health preservation, etc.
