The royal family in Qing Dynasty had a large population. Although the court manages the living expenses, it will not force you to eat or drink anything. If the clans outside the palace participate, they can buy folk wine.

The wine in the palace is not bought, so there is no brand (embarrassing), so I brew it at home:

Liang Yunsi under Guanglu Temple is responsible for brewing wine for the royal family, and takes Yuquan water in west Beijing for brewing wine every spring and autumn. Is prepared from glutinous rice, beans, wheat starter, pepper, yeast, Indocalamus leaves and sesame seeds.

As for the legendary health wine that emperors drink (such as "Songling wine") and palace holiday wine (such as "realgar wine"), they are generally processed on the basis of this white wine.

According to legend, chrysanthemum wine and lotus wine are two famous wines in the court of the late Qing Dynasty. In "Clearing Banknotes" compiled by Tsui Hark in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it is recorded that "Yingtai plants thousands of handles, the green boards are covered with green, and the horizon is endless. After filial piety and Qin dynasty, every time they were castrated, their nuclei were collected, and medicinal materials were added to make fine wine, which was called lotus flowers. The note was placed on the porcelain and covered with a satin symbol to reward the cronies. Its taste is pure and mellow, and the jade liquid is delicious. "

In addition, it is said that there are foreign wines in the court of the late Qing Dynasty.
