Yellow rice wine is different from other alcoholic beverages. Among the "four families" composed of beer, wine, yellow rice wine and liquor, yellow rice wine has the highest nutritional value. Through research, it is found that women who drink yellow wine in moderation at ordinary times can play a cosmetic role, and if they can persist in drinking it for a long time, they can also play an anti-aging role.
As many as 18 kinds of inorganic salts were detected in rice wine, including major elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, and trace elements such as iron, copper, zinc and selenium. Among them, magnesium is an indispensable auxiliary factor in human sugar, fat, protein metabolism and cellular respiratory enzymes. It is also necessary to maintain the excitability of muscles and nerves and the normal function of the heart and protect the cardiovascular system.
Yellow rice wine tastes bitter, sweet and spicy. Drinking yellow wine in winter can promote blood circulation, dispel cold, dredge meridians, effectively resist cold stimulation and prevent colds. Moderate drinking is helpful to blood circulation, promote metabolism, nourish blood and beautify. For some parturients who have just given birth, drinking a small amount of this wine can dispel wind and promote blood circulation, avoid evil spirits and drive away filth, and at the same time, it is also conducive to the discharge of lochia and promote uterine contraction, especially for postpartum colds. Adding longan or litchi, red dates, walnuts and ginseng to yellow rice wine to cook together not only tastes delicious, but also has a good effect of invigorating qi and blood.
In terms of auxiliary medical care, different drinking methods of yellow rice wine have different curative effects. For example, drinking yellow wine to catch a cold has the functions of promoting digestion, resolving food stagnation, calming and calming the nerves, and has obvious curative effects on dyspepsia, anorexia, tachycardia and irritability. Hot drinking yellow wine can dispel cold and fear of dampness, which is beneficial to patients with low back pain, numbness and tremor of hands and feet, rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic injury. But it is not suitable for pregnant women, children, patients with liver disease, patients with chronic gastritis and patients with urinary calculi.
Because rice wine is brewed from the seeds of plants, wine is brewed from the pulp of grapes, and the energy of seeds and pulp is gathered together. I think everyone will understand that rice wine is a good thing accumulated by thousands of years of experience of our ancestors.
Because yellow rice wine is the oldest wine in China, it has medicinal value since ancient times! Wine is the best medicine, which means yellow wine! It can relax muscles and promote blood circulation! Modern think the efficacy of yellow rice wine is as follows:
1. Yellow rice wine contains polyphenols, melanoidin, glutathione and other physiologically active components, which have the physiological functions of scavenging free radicals, preventing cardiovascular diseases, resisting cancer and resisting aging.
2. Yellow rice wine contains 18 kinds of inorganic salts, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. The content of vitamin B and E in yellow rice wine is also very rich, mainly from raw materials and yeast autolysate.
3. The content of protein in yellow rice wine is the highest in wine, which is four times that of beer. Protein in yellow rice wine mostly exists in the form of polypeptide and amino acid, which is easily absorbed by human body. Peptides have nutritional, biological and regulatory functions.
Before modern times, yellow rice wine was the most popular wine in China, reaching its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, China people mainly drank brewed wine (yellow rice wine, rice wine, etc.). ), and distilled liquor (white wine) is still relatively small.
There are several reasons for the decline of rice wine:
I. Transportation problems caused by war
The main producing area of yellow rice wine in Qing Dynasty was Shaoxing, Zhejiang. According to the transportation conditions, the yellow rice wine can be divided into three categories: local, Jingzhuang and Guangzhuang. Jingzhuang is the wine transported by the northbound transportation line, and Guangzhuang is the guide transportation line. Because of the different transportation time and road bumps, the formulas of the three kinds of wine are also different to ensure the quality, so the national promotion of Shaoxing rice wine at that time has formed a very fine industrial chain.
Later, because of the well-known war, the transportation line was interrupted, and the production of yellow rice wine involved climate and other factors, which failed to spread to wineries everywhere. As a result, for a long time, when people mentioned yellow rice wine, they thought it was just cooking wine, not formal drinking wine.
Second, lifestyle changes.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, scholars in the south of the Yangtze River had a great influence on the cultural and educational circles, and drinking yellow wine by scholars promoted the popularization of yellow wine to some extent.
But in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, yellow rice wine has never been broken. There are both homemade and winery. In summer, many people drink beer, and in winter, many people drink yellow wine in the jar and iron it. Nowadays, many people are talking about the "revival of yellow rice wine", and brands such as Huijishan and Guyuelongshan have also begun to be promoted nationwide, but the overall proportion is still low.
Third, the top
Yellow rice wine is sweet and easy to drink, and because people are used to drinking hot yellow rice wine, when wine enters the blood vessels, people will soon get drunk. People in China often have endless words on the wine table, but if you don't talk about people getting drunk, it will waste a table of dining tables.
Fourth, the taste is heavy.
It is so heavy that it can even be used for seasoning. Yellow rice wine and old wine are also more particular about not letting dishes rob the original flavor of wine. It's a waste to cook a fried prawn for more than ten years. Therefore, it is more practical to match rice wine with some dishes such as dried beans, edamame, fennel beans and hairy crabs.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) red wine
Red wine and yellow wine are similar in degree, and also contain a lot of amino acids and trace elements. Yellow rice wine can only be tied. However, China people pay more attention to drinking than foreigners. The most important thing is that they are gentle and drink less, so it doesn't matter if the wine is expensive at all, so they are still popular. People in China are so familiar with yellow rice wine that they have never heard of it, have they? The culture of red wine is difficult to understand, such as Lafite and Cabernet Sauvignon. What you don't understand is valuable.
The world's three ancient wines, yellow wine, beer and wine.
Yellow rice wine belongs to low-temperature fermented wine, the alcohol content is generally below 20%, there is no distillation process of white wine, and more food nutrition is retained. Hakka rice wine is even used as nutrition for postpartum confinement women. Generally, yellow rice wine is warmed with ginger when you like to drink it, and it can be warmed in winter.
Beer is cold, especially draft beer and chilled beer, which is easy to condense too much yin and cold moisture.
Wine includes brewing and shochu, traditional wine is brewing, and shochu is brandy. The evaluation of wine in Compendium of Materia Medica is: sweet and warm, warm waist and kidney, and color.
Traditionally, it is believed that "five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five livestock are for benefit, and five vegetables are for supplement". All three kinds of wine are made of fruit, which does not conform to the theory that whole grains are crucial. Beer gets wet easily, and the only thing left is yellow wine. Modern people think that alcohol is a bad substance, so we are advised not to drink it. When we are healthy and happy, we can "painfully mention the source of happiness"!
Because yellow rice wine is brewed from low-alcohol grain, boil it when drinking, and drink it with a little ginger to nourish the stomach.
