What's the name of Shaoxing Huadiao wine?

The famous Shaoxing "Huadiao wine" is also called "Daughter wine". Shangyu people in Jin Dynasty recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "Daughter wine is necessary for a rich family to have a daughter and marry a daughter in the old society". Speaking of this name, there is another story!

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a foreign domestic helper in Dongguan, Shaoxing, but his wife was infertile for a long time. The foreign servant was finally remedied and his wife was pregnant. The foreign servant was very happy and specially brewed more than 20 jars of yellow wine to celebrate. Winter goes and spring comes, pregnant in October, a wife gives birth to a daughter, and a full moon will come in a few days. According to the local custom, the staff will arrange a sumptuous banquet for the guests who have shaved their heads. After the banquet was over, the members saw that several jars of good wine had not been unsealed, and it was a pity to abandon them, so they buried the wine under the osmanthus tree in the garden. Time flies, time flies, 18 years has passed in a blink of an eye, and my daughter has grown up, and her face is gorgeous, which can be described as sinking fish and falling geese. My fair lady is a gentleman, and there is an endless stream of people proposing marriage through matchmakers. My father was very careful and promised to marry the son of a benefactor. Soon, the wedding day arrived. At the wedding banquet, the old members celebrated and drank with the guests, but the money for the drinks was still used up. When the old committee member was frowning, he suddenly remembered the 18-year-old good wine buried under the osmanthus tree. It was he who ordered people to dig up the old wine and entertain the guests. When the jar was unearthed, it was placed in the banquet hall, and the mud head was removed, and the fragrance suddenly came to my face and penetrated into my heart. Everyone rushed to taste the drinks, all glittering and resplendent. Since then, it has become a custom for the next-door neighbors and people from far and near to give birth to their daughters and bury them in wine. When they marry their daughters, they dig for wine and treat them. Thousands of years later, the ancient Shaoxing area gradually formed the custom of "making daughter wine when giving birth to a daughter, and drinking daughter red when marrying a daughter".

Later, even a boy was born, and he made wine and buried wine as planned, hoping that his son would win the first prize to celebrate drinking. Therefore, this wine is also called "Zhuangyuan Red". "Daughter Red" and "Zhuangyuanhong" are old wines that have been stored for a long time. This kind of wine is fragrant and delicious, and people give it as a valuable gift.

This is the origin.

In addition, the story of "Brewing Wan Li Xiangshao Wine by Drinking Water from Jianhu Lake in front of the door", which was founded in the Jin Dynasty, has been circulated for thousands of years. As early as 304 AD, it was recorded in the Southern Vegetation written by Han Ji, a native of Shangyu in Jin Dynasty that female wine and daughter red wine were necessary things for a rich woman to marry in the old society.

When the daughter cries for the first time when she leaves the field, it will definitely warm every father's heart. Three acres of glutinous rice will lead to three altars of daughter red. Carefully seal the jar and bury it under the osmanthus tree in the backyard, just like the deeply hidden father's love. When you are free, you can step under the osmanthus tree, which seems to be practical. Looking back at my daughter, her head is tied with a red rope, and her eyebrows are like willow leaves in the Qingming Festival, which is getting brighter every day. Shaoxing, Zhejiang has had this custom since ancient times. Daughter/kloc-married at the age of 0/8 will use wine as a wedding gift and send it to her husband's family. According to Shaoxing's old custom, the first three bowls of wine scooped from the altar should be dedicated to the father-in-law, the biological father and her husband, meaning to pray for a healthy life and a prosperous family. In Shaoxing area, the custom that women must brew their daughters' wine has been circulating for a long time. Lu You, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, drank her daughter's red wine when she lived in Dongguan ancient town, and wrote a famous poem "I just want to live in Dongguan when I move home, and watch the moon in the lake every night".
