In China, there is also a legend of Du Kang's brewing. One day, the fairy instructed him: If you go outside tomorrow morning, you will meet three people. Each person takes a drop of blood and drops it into the distiller's grains, and the wine is served. As a result, Du Kang met three people the next day, namely a scholar, a samurai and a madman.

These are the three realms of drinking:

The first stage is like a literati, gentle, modest and polite;

The second stage is like a battlefield warrior. After three rounds of drinking, they become brothers and fight hard.

In the third stage, after excessive drinking, manners are lost, degenerated, lied and crazy.

Wine, in the long history of human culture, is not only an objective material existence, but also a cultural symbol, that is, a symbol of Dionysian cultural spirit. In China, Dionysian spirit originated from Taoist philosophy. Zhuang Zhou advocated the unity of things and me, the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of life and death. Zhuang Zhou sang the song of absolute freedom, advocating "wandering things", "wandering around the world" and "land without things". Zhuangzi would rather be a free turtle shaking his head in a mud pond than a bound swift horse. The essence of China's Dionysian spirit lies in pursuing absolute freedom and forgetting the benefits of life and death, honor and disgrace.

The "ceremony" in wine culture is mostly manifested in sacrifices and banquets. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, drinking vessels made of bronze belonged to ritual vessels, and there was a strict distinction between respect and inferiority when they were used. Sacrifice was held in the ancestral hall. Because of the different status and status of the worshippers, they held different drinking utensils. In the eating ceremony, vegetarian dishes and wine pulp should be placed in a certain position, and there is a rule that left wine and right pulp should be left. At present, the chopsticks, plates and dishes on the banquet still need to be arranged neatly. Guests always move their cups after the host toasts, and the host always drinks first, which can also show the legacy of the Millennium wine culture.

The "feelings" in wine culture are most thoroughly displayed by literati through cups. Tao Yuanming's "Calling each other through the door, counting on wine" and Li Bai's "When will the bright moon come to the sky, I will stop for a drink" are even more leisure. Du Fu "buckled the rich door and followed the fat horse dust at dusk." "Broken cups are cold and bitter everywhere" is another emotional cup in wine culture that echoes with people's hearts. It has become a witness to the scene at that time, and sadness, misery, pity and pity can arouse people's * * *.
