Wine has its own life and their own ancestors. "wine history"by Feng Shihua has a record like that: "the wine start from Yi Diand Du Kang." in Ming Dynasty. It mainly intrusts that the liquor is made by this two person in history,who are the ancestor of liquor.the production of wine has long history,there is old say “Wine Que” in Han Dynasty and also another record :wine for pulp”in “Huangdi Neijing.Suwen”,all this certificate that liquor has a very long history.About “Lvshi Spring and Autumm”, “Warring States Book”and other works record that liquor had been made in Xia and Yu period.
Our country has thousands of years of brilliant civilization.it is almost a bright river by liquor flows.Old say “the drinkers is with knowledge and no the matter of eating” and also “Big Qian Kun in drinking,long life in wine glass”.they take drinking as one of the most important thing in their life.Most of wise man know more about the world,understand life in deep and build theirs characters in drunk in the ancient and modern times.
The family of liquor is very complex.I only talk about the high degree white liquor as chinese people say.In regards to grape wine, just use the little to get the big in this.
As the liquor has its own particularity,many people love it.Liquor is “spring”,so ancients named liquor by “spring”.The poem “buy alcohol in jade glass,enjoy the rain” written by Si Hongtu in “poetry manner,elegant”.To buy spring is to buy alcohol and vice versa.The brewing process of alcohol is absolutely exquisite,the flavor of alcohol make people lick their lips,and the clear alcohol makes people lose them in it.Luke Laixiu said:When the wine into your body,the limbs become heavy,tao legs can not move on,in trembling,tongue tied,unconsciousness,eyes vacillate; shout, belch, quarrel."He Lasi said:wise man go on a bat and appear to be sad and expose their inner secret,”Thus,the wine is a kind of catalyst for emotion.The happy and sad in the bottom of heart will burst out through drinking.Another word of He Lasi is that the most strong intelligence is no match the strength of wine.It may be about this valuable catalytic effect. "Wine can make people self-control weak, so some people make a big laughing after drinking, others crying, more people talk on and on in foreign language, They may tell secret matters and privacy of others to others,the most embarrassing matter is pushing someone to drink, one to one,offensive or making it more worse,In order to make people drunk,someone use force intoxicated others by holding their nose.”above words are written by Mr,Liang Shiqiu.While rereading this words,I think,every person,even though like me not drinking,will be catalyzed and influenced in front of alcohol.Under influence,there will be the result as ancients said “King Wen drinks 1000 bell, Confucius drinks 100 Gu”,and Sanbel told the secret plan of killing Caesar during his drinking. Drinking is to feel the good feelings. There is record in “Drinking Manner”of “Xiao Lin Guang Ji” written by Mr.Chen Shijue,as follows:Man and matters all has its own manner.Under the moon and during the flowers,drinking wine from a winding canal with one wine cup floating on it,a little drunk after a glass cup of wine,all above is called the drinking of confucian businessmen,and this like implicit confucianisam person.Tow or three friends drink under moon and during flowers.Ming Shu sing and pour around,all above is called the drinking of immotal,and this like drunk moon in hesperides. Many courtesy and deliciouse food and wine,red tape,hypertonicity day by day,scare of arrogate,this is called drinking of prisoner,and like putting convict under arrest.Don’t worry about the big glass,wine must be full in glass cup,taking liqour chips to called horse,drinking wantonly,this is called as drinking of donkey,and like thirsty donkey on the road.Dressing up with clothes,hat and shoes,sitting down by Zhao&Mu,raising your glasses,taking body under the law,this is called drinking of bury and like burial clothes and hat.Hurling abuse on the ground,retching into the canal,lying unconscious,this is called as drinking of corpse and like hunger lying.”The drinking of confucian businessmen,immotal,prisoner,donkey,bury and corpse,and so on,The knowledge of drinking alcohol is so large that many drinkers are unaware of it.It is where the fun actually.People in real drinking should be the human on the banquet.
The most interesting thing is wine ceremory for drinking alcohol.There is a legend,as follows:When Zhong Yu and Zhong Hui is young,one time they think their father had in sleep,then they steal to drink wine together.In fact,their father didn’t in deep sleep,and he just want to see the situation that two boys steal to drink alcohol.Then he found that:Zhong yu drink after worship,but Zhong Hui only drink no worship.and he ask the reason.Zhong Yu said: “Alcohol has became ceremory,don’t dare to worship”,but Zhong Hui said: “steal is not worship,then i can’t do worship”.This story is very interesting and instucts that ancients drink according to ceremory which make drinking alcohol to be ceremory.So,Drinking has became a serious activity,and no rude.This courtesy make drinking to be one part of civilization process or culture atmosphere.Now,Some minorities,such as,Yi,Miao,and so still preserve the custom of wine ceremory.For example,It s grand ceremony that Yi minority sing “song of wine ceremory” when drinking,Miao minority let customers to drink a horn wine.As it were,wine ceremory is a kind of rules,due to all sorts of agreement,it is invisible rules in drinking activies.
Buddhism had listed the top ten counts of wine:One,evil colores.Two,less force.Three,not clear eye.Four,angery looks.Five,bad for business.Six,add diseases.Seven,yi song litigation,Eight,bad reputation flow.Nine,less wisdom.Ten,end of bad life,fall in evil path.--but must be agressive. But if you don’t know wine feature,alcohol manner and wine ceremony,doing nothing everyday but only drinking whole year,it is very fool and will be difficult to talk about.When a person want to be close to alcohol,he should study drinking seriousely after clear understanding about alcohol and drinking.
The sentence "Wine is a person's intelligence test, a heavy drinker is not a fool." is written by Schopenhauer, is it right or not?
