The origin of wine

Since ancient times, the ancestors of China people have said that wine is made by the "wine star" in the sky. There is a record about the wine flag constellation in the Book of Jin: "The right corner of Xuanyuan, the three-star wine flag, and the wine official flag also host the banquet." Xuanyuan, the ancient name of China, has seventeen stars, twelve of which belong to Leo. The wine flag has three stars, arranged in a "one" shape, next to Liu Su on the 28th night, a star entering the south.

On a clear night, search the sky carefully against the star map. Xuanyuan XIV in Leo and Xingyi in Ophiuchus are very bright and easy to find, while Samsung, the wine flag, is difficult to be recognized by the naked eye because its brightness is too small or too far away.
