The famous "Three Snake Wine" at home and abroad is made from three kinds of poisonous snakes: cobra, golden ring snake and squirrel snake, while the "Five Snake Wine" is made from the above three kinds of snakes plus poisonous silver ring snake and another non-poisonous snake. With the improvement of medicinal value of snakes, at present, poisonous snakes such as Agkistrodon halys and non-poisonous snakes such as red chain snakes have gradually become good materials for soaking snake wine. As traditional medicine, poisonous snakes include Agkistrodon acutus and money snake. Agkistrodon acutus, also known as Agkistrodon acutus, is a young snake that has just hatched from snake eggs. Not only can live snakes be directly soaked in medicinal liquor, but most of them are dried snakes baked with their heads in the middle.
Especially the viper, which is particularly famous. Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, outlined such a picture in his masterpiece Snake Catcher. The imperial doctor, who lived in Beijing and waited for the emperor, took a large group of people and an imperial edict to mobilize everyone to the hinterland of Yongzhou (now Lingling County, Hunan Province) to find a poisonous snake that "bites defenseless". This "black and white" snake is a viper. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Agkistrodon acutus can treat leprosy, spasm, neck swelling, malignant sores, eliminate necrotic muscles and kill various parasites. And these usages are clearly recorded in many medical classics. Did the emperor of the Tang Dynasty suffer from these diseases, so that he had to collect this poison on a large scale? The author's tutor is a biologist engaged in snake research, especially the study of poisonous snakes. He said that the medical use of poisonous snakes mentioned in Snake Catcher is actually only a small part, which is really a leak. The reason why the orphan emperor used Agkistrodon acutus in large quantities was mainly to be used as a senior tonic. The emperor is quite dissolute and shameless, having fun all day, so that he grows old before he gets old. In order to recover his declining sexual function, he turned to the Agkistrodon. Because this medicine has the function of strengthening yang, strengthening the body and keeping young forever.
Another legend provides another evidence for the tutor's topic. Tang day and night was fascinated by Yang Guifei's beauty. "The night is short and the day is high, and the emperor, from then on, gave up his early hearing" refers to him. After a long time, he was sallow and emaciated, his limbs were weak, and he was riddled with diseases. Therefore, Doctor Tai recommended Ming Taizu to take a folk health wine from Xiangxi. After drinking for a few days, I feel refreshed and all my illnesses are getting better. Agkistrodon acutus is the first kind of medicinal materials soaked in health wine.
Modern research has also confirmed that snake meat is rich in protein and fat. Beef is famous for its high protein food, but the protein content of snake meat is higher than that of beef. Protein consists of many amino acids. In the process of digestion and absorption, human beings need to decompose protein into parts, and then use these amino acids to process it into their own protein. Another factor that determines the nutritional value of protein is its content of eight "essential amino acids". Why are these eight amino acids called "essential"? This is because they are indispensable in the human body, and the human body cannot make them and needs to rely on "imports". Snake meat contains these eight kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid. In particular, the content of linoleic acid is particularly rich, and this biochemical substance has a certain effect on preventing arteriosclerosis. People have done animal experiments with Agkistrodon halys product, which proves that it can stimulate endocrine gland organs such as pituitary gland, gonad and thyroid gland to secrete hormones into the blood, and has a special effect on coordinating and strengthening some physiological functions.
Poisonous snakes are mostly soaked in wine with snakeheads. Won't people be poisoned by this wine? It doesn't matter. As long as the snake is steamed and soaked in wine, the snake venom has already been destroyed by high temperature. Even if the poison sac is not removed, the snake venom is not as good as rice wine with a temperature above 50, and it loses its toxicity when it comes into contact with alcohol. In fact, as long as there are no wounds in our mouth and digestive tract, it doesn't matter even if we eat a small amount of snake venom, because snake venom can't stand the "knife and axe" cutting of digestive tract protease, and they will be destroyed by enzymes one by one.
Although snake wine has nourishing effect, it is usually used as a panacea for dispelling wind and removing dampness. The soaking method is not complicated: when soaking wine with a poisonous snake, if it is a live snake, first disembowel it, wash and steam the snake meat, and then put it at 50℃. In rice wine, you can drink it after three or four months. However, there are also many people who are used to soaking raw food, or even directly soaking wine with whole live snakes. The ratio of snake meat to wine is generally 0.5 kg of fresh snake meat10.5 kg of rice wine. Different medicinal materials can also be mixed as needed.
In the wine forest of China, snake wine has long occupied a very prominent position. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, distiller's yeast containing herbs was used to make wine, and then it was mixed with poisonous snakes to make snake wine, which was used to treat rheumatism, hemiplegia, mouth and eye deviation and other diseases. At present, there are a certain amount of poisonous snakes in the formulas of Sanshe wine in Guangdong, Wushe wine and horseshoe snake wine in Guangxi, Tortoise and Snake wine in Hunan, health wine in Hunan and Beijing Tiger Bone Wine in Beijing Tongrentang. These brands of snake wine have become a good wine for nourishing, curing diseases and strengthening the body of the elderly, and are known as "fairy wine" for prolonging life and strengthening the body. They are well-known at home and abroad and are favored by people at home and abroad. Therefore, this paper introduces several kinds of snake wine and its home-made methods for readers to choose according to symptoms.
