Why do ancient people drink for health, while modern people drink to harm health?
First of all, the wine that ancient people drank was different from the wine that people drink now. Generally speaking, the alcohol content of ancient people is relatively low, while the alcohol content of contemporary people is very high. Under normal circumstances, the degree of liquor is about 42 degrees to 50 degrees. More than 50 degrees is already high. The ancient people's wine-making technology is very different from that of modern times, so the degree of wine they brewed is relatively low. According to research, in the Northern Song Dynasty, very good wine was only a dozen degrees. Therefore, ancient wine is less harmful to people.

In ancient times, China's wine culture contained great wisdom. Through many poets, we can know that ancient people did not drink with their bodies, but with their hearts, thus reaching the realm of harmony between man and nature. And many times, drinking is also a ritual, such as becoming sworn brothers. But we modern people often regard wine as a utilitarian thing, and ignore the true meaning of wine.

Ancient people regarded drinking as a health preserving behavior. They think that drinking can promote blood circulation, relax meridians and promote blood circulation. This is also to ensure that it is within the appropriate amount. The ancients had their drinking rules. These regulations also led ancient people to drink alcohol for health. First, drink too much; Second, don't drink on an empty stomach; Third, drinking is drinking, not drinking other things, which is also a fear of adverse reactions with other things and thus endangering the health.

Imagine how many people in the contemporary era can know this and how many people can do it after knowing it. We modern people are still very interesting, knowing that drinking too much wine is harmful to our health, but we still have to drink it. Therefore, we should learn more from the ancients and realize the meaning of wine.
