Wine is one of the main drinks in human life. China has a long history of wine-making, with a variety of famous wines, which enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Yellow rice wine is one of the oldest wines in the world. About 3000 years ago, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China people created the compound fermentation method of distiller's yeast and began to brew a large number of yellow rice wine. About 1000 years ago in the Song Dynasty, China people invented the distillation method, and since then, liquor has become the main liquor for China people to drink. Wine permeates the whole 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, and plays an important role in China people's life from literary and artistic creation, cultural entertainment to diet and cooking, health care and so on. Du Kang, the ancestor of wine in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "The ancients Shao Kang first made dustpans, brooms and wine. Shao Kang, Du Kang also. " Zhang Biaochen, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in Coral Hook Poetry: "In the Middle Ages, Du Kang invented the nameless tiller and made it into a wine cellar, which was well-known for drinking." Du Kang, as the ancestor of China's wine, was revered by people of all ages. Dukang wine, as a famous historical wine, has been drunk by literati and poets in past dynasties, and has written brilliant articles and immortal poems. Wine is closely related to China culture, and its inventors, * * * Push a younger brother and Du Kang. Jiang Tong, a native of A Jin, said: "The prosperity of wine originated from the emperor, or Yunyidi, and Du Kang." Yidi, a native of Dayu era; Du Kang is said to be the king of Xia Dynasty, Shao Kang. And Du Kang's name is better than Yidi's, so Yidi's name is obvious but not obvious. It is an indisputable fact that the earliest wine was produced in Heluo area with Luoyang as the center. According to ancient records, the invention of wine was quite accidental. Once, Du Kang put the leftovers in an empty mulberry. After a long time, rice naturally ferments, giving off fragrance and flowing out a liquid. Du Kang took a sip and thought it was delicious. Inspired by this, Du Kang invented wine. The so-called empty mulberry is a rotten mulberry. According to ancient documents, there is a place called Kongsang River in Yishui Valley of Luoyang, which may be related to Kongsang. The wine brewed in Du Kang is called "Plum Wine", that is, the brewing raw materials are mainly black plums. Black grass is a kind of sorghum, which is wild in Luoyang mountainous area and cultivated by ancient ancestors as an important crop. Du Kang is good at winemaking, and his winemaking skills are quite particular. The "Five Qi and Six Methods" recorded in Du Wen is said to be the secret recipe of Du Kang's brewing. It requires that the black mash used for brewing should be mature, the koji should be put in time, the soaking should be clean, the mountain spring water should be used, the brewing equipment should be excellent and the temperature should be appropriate. A wine song sung by the people is said to have been handed down by Du Kang. The lyrics say: "The third watch stinks, the shochu is flourishing at sunrise, the food is strong in the afternoon, and the mixed grain wine is long at sunset." In other words, in the process of brewing, we are very particular about when to feed and when to fire. After wine was produced in Heluo area, it was integrated into the profound Heluo culture. Duke Zhou issued a prohibition order in Luoyang, that is, "wine", but he did not completely ban wine, but closely linked wine with Zhou rites, so the five rites of Zhou Dynasty could not be separated from wine. It is said that the existing Book of Songs was edited by Confucius, but the Book of Songs before Confucius was actually the official document collected and preserved in Luoyang. In these poems, wine accounts for most of the space. Du Kang's hometown, where is the former site of Du Kang brewing? This is also a topic of interest to people. Du Kang's hometown, called Du Kang Village, has two places, both in Luoyang. One is located in the west of the old city of Luoyang. Du Kang Village, made by Li Jianren during the Republic of China, is located in the west of Luoyang, also known as du cun, the hometown of Du Kang. The earliest record of Du Kang Village in Ruyang County can be found in the book Quan Zhi in Ruzhou, Zhili, Ming Wanli, which says: "Du Kang Village is located 50 miles north of Yiyang, where Du Kang Brewery is located." There are Du Kang Temple, Du Kang Tomb and other relics here. Du Kang wine is a wine producer in China, and Luoyang is the hometown of Chinese wine culture. It is our sacred mission to summarize the brewing skills of Luoyang in the past dynasties and explore the connotation of Luoyang wine culture. China's wine culture in different prehistoric periods from the earliest Chinese civilization 5,000 years ago-prehistoric period, wild fruits collected by primitive tribes were moldy after long-term storage, and then the smell of wine was formed. After a preliminary taste, they thought that the water flowing out of the mold was also delicious, so they started the wine-making culture. In primitive society, wine-making has become very popular in China. In ancient times, wine was unfiltered wine mash, which was mushy! For details, please check ~ Chinese wine culture, Baidu.
