Wine culture; Instrumentality of wine; Realistic significance Liquor is accompanied by human civilization from naivety to maturity. In the long history of 5,000 years in China, the invention of liquor is undoubtedly a bright star. The so-called drunkenness is not about wine, which means that people not only regard it as a simple drink, but also place more humanistic feelings on it. Based on the profound cultural background of liquor, it is of practical significance to put forward that liquor is an indispensable social tool in our lives. From no alcohol to health care, inspiration and socialization, the role of liquor is irreplaceable, which makes it a unique practical tool in our society.
First, there is nothing impossible without wine. In a country with fragrant wine, liquor is refined and popular. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "nothing can be done without wine, no ceremony without wine, no banquet without wine, and no respect without wine". Whether in the traditional folk customs of our country or in the modern festivals that keep pace with the times, people will raise their glasses, sing and dance. The custom of keeping the 30th Anniversary was first seen in Historical Records, which was a local custom in the Western Jin Dynasty. It was recorded that "the local people's home, sitting around the stove, could not sleep", so on the night of "New Year's Eve", gifts were given to each other, which was called "feeding the Year". Wine and food are invited, and the name is "Don't be old"; Young and old gather to drink and wish a complete blessing, which is called the age of; Everyone stays up all night, waiting for dawn, which is called "keeping the old age". [1] Since the Han Dynasty, the etiquette of drinking to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new has been popular, and it is still so today. Wedding wine custom is also one of the most popular, enthusiastic and joyful drinking customs in society. In order to make the wedding grand and warm and express people's happy mood, people usually celebrate with wine, and the whole wedding process is full of wine and joy. In the traditional folk customs of our country, in addition to drinking for the fun of festivals and weddings, there are also various occasions for drinking, and various wedding wines are born from this: children drink full moon wine and hundred-day wine at birth; Birthday has birthday wine; Family reunion has reunion wine; Funeral arrangements should also drink funeral wine; The way to entertain guests is naturally inseparable from the welcome wine; There is a farewell wine when seeing the guests off; There are master wine, master wine and master wine. There are meritorious wines; Traditional farming solar terms include spring wine, threshing wine and harvest wine. Whenever people encounter happy or sad things, they can't help but celebrate with their friends, send wine and drown their sorrows. The life of China people is full of wine, and the hospitality of China people is fully displayed at the banquet. Big and small things, everything can't be separated from wine. It is said that all kinds of life come from the taste of wine. Second, drinking for health and health has always been a complicated topic. The harm of excessive drinking is self-evident. Modern people pay more attention to health and health preservation. Does this mean that we should stop drinking? Scientific research shows that moderate drinking also has many benefits to the human body. Among the three nutrients needed by human body, liquor contains two nutrients ―― various amino acids that make up protein and indispensable trace elements ―― minerals. Research shows that scientific drinking is good for health. Modern medicine has proved that liquor has the functions of ventilation, dispelling cold, relaxing tendons and promoting blood circulation. For example, according to the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine, wine can "dredge blood vessels, protect against cold and benefit qi, promote drug potential, and treat arthralgia due to wind-cold, contracture of tendons and veins, chest pain and heart cold pain" (including invigorating spleen and liver, moistening intestines, eliminating dampness and expelling wind, dispelling cold and stagnation, removing cold and detoxifying, nourishing blood and benefiting qi, warming stomach and dispelling cold, eliminating dampness and depression, promoting diuresis and promoting blood circulation, killing parasites and eliminating phlegm). [2] People often say that wine can prolong life, which is also scientifically based. Although the harm caused by excessive drinking has been reported all over the world, a large number of pathological research data confirm that moderate drinking can reduce the mortality rate and the risk of heart disease. The researchers pointed out: If you ingest 10~30g ~ 30g alcohol every day, the mortality rate can be reduced by 20%-80%. In Japan, 5 139 male doctors were followed up for 12 years. The results show that the death rate of drinkers who drink less than 27 ml per day is significantly lower than that of abstainers or teetotalers. Scientists from western countries, such as Britain and the United States, investigated liquor. The results show that the average life expectancy of people who drink liquor for a long time is longer than that of people who don't drink liquor 10 ~ 15 years old. Science has proved that long-term moderate drinking of liquor can prolong life, but excessive drinking is harmful. There are a lot of data all over the world to prove that there is a "U" (shape curve relationship) between drinking and mortality.
[3] The ancients were good at relying on things, and the health wine culture in China has a long history. Li Shizhen pointed out in the book Compendium of Materia Medica, "Moderate drinking can eliminate cold accumulation, dry phlegm, relieve depression and stop diarrhea. Wine can be mixed with urine, hard stool and red eye. " Although the understanding of the benefits of drinking is not as detailed as that of modern people, the concept of preserving health with wine in the ancients has penetrated into life at that time. Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described such a scene in "A Wine Weng at the Flower Gate": "The old man is still selling wine at the age of seventy, and a thousand pots of flowers are at the door." It can be seen that in the minds of China people, people who live long are always fond of drinking and like to drink. Taoist culture in China believes that proper drinking contributes to health and self-cultivation. Influenced by Taoism for a long time, many people in China regard wine as a special health-preserving tool. Therefore, as long as you drink correctly, learn to drink, and have a healthy drinking culture concept, health and longevity and the pleasure of drinking can be naturally absorbed. 3. The Inspiration of Wine "Scholars have loved wine since ancient times, and poetry and wine have accompanied each other from generation to generation" ―― The literary spectacle of "the blending of poetry and wine" in China literature has a long history. The main reason for this phenomenon is that China scholars believe that wine is the source of creative inspiration. The unique charm of wine is exciting, enthusiastic, intoxicating and even addictive. From the chemical composition of wine itself, it is mainly because it contains alcohol. After drinking, alcohol constantly stimulates the central nervous system of the brain, making people emotional. Drinking too much and getting drunk indicates that the central nervous system is in a drunken state, which is an unprecedented sense of release and emotional excitement. Generally speaking, it is the loss of rational thinking, and almost all behaviors are an emotional catharsis. As Freud described, this is a state of temporarily relaxing the supervision of "self" and releasing "ID". As a farming nation, China naturally pays attention to patriarchal ethics, emphasizes group consciousness and ethical norms, and demands rational control of personal feelings. However, these excessive repression of human nature can only be temporary and external, and those irrational factors will be deeply hidden in the deep heart and cannot be eliminated. Although traditional literati are quiet, peaceful and polite on weekdays, once something touches the emotional door of the soul, emotions will pour out, faster and more violently than those from less depressed ethnic groups. In addition, most poets are naturally sentimental, always sensitive to the joys and sorrows of life, and their understanding of life is easy to grasp intuitively, so their experience of life and their pursuit of freedom are usually beyond the reach of ordinary people. Stimulated by alcohol, the poet's rational thinking, which was bound by ethical patriarchal clan system in his daily life, temporarily retreated, and those feelings and ideals that were excessively suppressed in his heart were released. Emotional thinking such as creative inspiration, intuitive grasp of poetic emotion and rich imagination has also reached an unprecedented level of activity. In drunkenness, the poet temporarily got rid of the reins of reason, let his poems gallop freely, and his thoughts poured out like a spring, and wonderful poems were born in luxury. "One hundred poems of Li Bai's fighting for wine, buried in Chang 'an Restaurant. "Visible wine contribution to China literati creative inspiration. Fourth, take wine as your friend. " Wine meets bosom friends, but a thousand cups are few "-the tradition of China people making friends with wine has continued. After drinking a glass of wine, some people will become best friends, others will become strangers, and their knowledge is not to the point. In the process of social communication, people have all kinds of communication tools. If the Internet has solved the time and space barriers of people's communication, then the uniqueness of wine lies in that it can solve the mental barriers of people's communication. The ancients said that drinking can "ventilate well", exchange feelings with each other and enhance friendship. To make friends is to be honest with each other and change your heart. If you have deep feelings, you will have a few drinks. At the dinner table, wine is the best communication tool to break the embarrassment, create topics, express respect, form a sense of belonging and create harmony. Everyone gets together to drink, and if it is as serious as a meeting, it shows that there is still a sense of distance between them. They are performing according to the rules of officialdom or shopping malls. They are restraining themselves with reason and dare not open their inner real world. Wine should be a tool to eliminate interpersonal distance. Drinking gives people an "acceptable" reason to relax their rational constraints, reveal their true inner thoughts, and create an atmosphere in which everyone is "one of their own". Therefore, at the wine table, if you refuse to drink for special reasons (such as being sick and unable to drink), or if you are secretive about drinking, you still want to maintain rational self-discipline and guard against others, and you are still continuing the interpersonal distance outside the wine table or the workplace. It is difficult for such people to be regarded as "their own", and it is even more difficult to narrow the distance with others, and the social function of liquor cannot be realized. Wine, such as character, is absolute, but it can also be quite picky. An uninhibited person has finished drinking the wine in one end of the cup, laughing and laughing, and will enjoy himself without persuasion; People with delicate personality, sip slowly, savor carefully, and moisten a face of peach blossoms in lingering; The deceitful man still holds the pipa, running and leaking, and his mouth is full of wine. Therefore, drinking is a science and a communication skill. As the saying goes, love is in the mouth, words are in the cup, and the wine table is the small stage of life, which reflects the character. It is smart to taste the character from the wine. Don't many good friends meet at the wine table? V. Conclusion In modern society, we need not only the stimulation of new things, but also the accumulation of history and culture. The mellow history and culture of liquor has a long history, which makes people memorable. It is an emotional sustenance that modern people cannot give up, and it is also an indispensable tool in modern life. Since ancient times, liquor has been closely related to people's lives. Based on the instrumental nature of wine, this paper discusses the important role of wine in people's work, health preservation, creation and making friends in modern life, reflects the important position of wine culture in modern society, and proves that wine is still a necessary social tool. Exposing your true self in drunkenness and getting closer to each other will make life more real, interesting and fulfilling.
