Drinking and health: Why does wine have "medicinal properties"?
In this crisp autumn day, keeping in good health is an unavoidable topic for drinkers. As a veteran drinker, do you know the connection between drinking and health?

Wine, known as "the length of a hundred medicines", is said in Neijing Suwen that "the ancient sages used fermented grains as soup", and fermented grains are the medicine for treating diseases. This also shows that drinking has a long history of application in medicine, and drinking has become a great invention in the medical field in China. However, in the process of solid-state distillation of China traditional liquor, the bioactive components contained in it give full play to its health care efficacy.

For example, our Guyangkang five-grain wine advocates the healthy concept of drinking good wine in moderation through "nurturing". In this autumn, let me start a healthy journey of Guyangkang cereal wine with all my drinking friends ~

1, the origin of wine and medicine

The origin of drinking has a long history. In ancient times, the word "medicine" was written as "medicine". The upper part of "medicine" is "ling", which refers to the knocking sound when treating diseases, and the lower part refers to the wine used for treating diseases. It can be seen that wine is one of the earliest drugs. As for epidemic prevention and control, drinking also has a miraculous effect. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the "drug king", put forward the view that "one person drinks, one family drinks without epidemic, and one family drinks without epidemic".

Chinese medicine has a long history of understanding drinking. More than 2000 years ago, wine was selected into the classic classic of Chinese medicine "Huangdi Neijing" and listed as "the theory of soup and mash". In particular, the functions and raw materials of wine were discussed. The role of fermented grains is that "evil spirits can be taken at any time". The book also points out that wine is like a spare medicine at home, which can only be taken when there are diseases and pathogens ... from various written records, it is enough to prove that the ancients used wine to treat diseases and prevent diseases for a long time.

Also with a long history are our Guyangkang five-grain wine and annual ring series liquor, which have been preserved in the wine after time carving, allowing the wine to grow with the years. There are more than 200 old pits with a history of 40 years, which are bottled in real years, giving the red rings a unique style and fragrance. After more than 4 years' cellar storage, the wine of Red Annual Ring is mellow and aged. Perhaps history will pass, but the annual rings will record everything in the wine, so that every sip of the drinker can feel the passage of time.

Li Shizhen, the "sage of medicine" in Ming Dynasty, also wrote a lot about wine in Compendium of Materia Medica. He believes that wine can "promote drug efficacy, dredge blood vessels, moisten skin, dissipate moisture, dispel wind and reduce qi". "Compendium of Materia Medica" also mentioned: wine is the beauty of heaven, drinking less will promote blood circulation, strengthen the spirit to keep out the cold, eliminate worries and rejuvenate. Wine is an indispensable article in Chinese medicine.

Today, wine still occupies an important position in China people's life, which has played a positive role in promoting human health: taking a small amount of white wine at night can gently promote blood circulation and play a hypnotic role. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of treating diseases with liquor.

Guyang Kangliang Brewery was built in 1979, with more than 200 old pits and an annual output of more than 2,000 tons of high-quality raw wine. Its wine-making history is long, it sticks to its original intention and selects high-quality sorghum. Every sip of wine is good grain wine!

Golden annual ring wine is one of the best, which combines history and time very well. Excellent wines, such as Golden Ring Wine, use 80% of 5-year base wine, and add 10% of 6-year aged wine and 8-year aged wine, which is very rare in liquor production.

2. Bring your own medicated wine

China Liquor is the wisdom of China Liquor Industry. It is made from pure grain by solid state fermentation and solid state distillation. It is a unique distilled liquor in the world and has been rated as China's intangible cultural heritage. From brewing wine to distilled wine, from low-alcohol wine to high-alcohol wine, it not only improves the taste and flavor, but also provides more powerful medical assistance for the health of people of all ages.

So, why is the liquor brewed with grain "effective"?

There are two main reasons, one is the drug potential of wine shops, and the other is the homology of medicine and food.

Liquor is a concrete practice of the theory of "homology of medicine and food" in China, in which Chinese herbal medicine entering Qu is a typical case. In liquor brewing, there is a mysterious saying that "there is no medicine to make koji", that is, in the process of making koji, dozens or even hundreds of well-matched herbs are added.

"Tunxi Fiber Records" records: "Take rice weeds as seeds and make them by fire". The "wild grass" here refers to herbs, and it is also the embryonic form of the earliest "hundred flowers make music". Some Chinese herbal medicines will be added when making wine. While adjusting the flavor of wine, these Chinese herbal medicines produce a large number of bioactive components beneficial to human health during fermentation, so "Qu has users, so it can cure diseases".

Guyangkang grain wine has always adhered to the traditional pure grain and solid state brewing, based on quality, without adding impurities, insisting on making conscience wine and rest assured wine.

3. Liquor with health attributes

The traditional brewing technology, koji-making formula and brewing environment in liquor fully embody the concept of harmony between man and nature and life. The gold ring has been stored for 4 years, and it seems to erupt in silence, which makes the medicinal properties of wine better combined.

Huangdi Neijing's "Treating diseases before they occur, treating them without disorder" embodies the essence theory of TCM health preservation. Just like "bend to millet, lead to mercury, yin and yang combine and change naturally." Turning grains into wine is a combination of thousands of years' philosophical wisdom and health-preserving concept of the Chinese nation, which is the neutralization of the balance between Yin and Yang and the highest state of China's traditional culture.

The red and gold rings adopt the texture of rings, symbolizing the inheritance of ancient crafts and implying the long-term vision of Guyangkang grain wine. Red Circle uses more than 80% 3-year-old original wine as the base wine, and adds 6-year-old wine and 8-year-old wine for secondary brewing, so that the wine can be better precipitated.

4. Conclusion

Buying wine is the same as other shopping. How to choose healthy wine is the first step in drinking. Liquor produced by solid-state fermentation of pure grain has no headache, is not easy to get drunk, and is harmless to the body. Just like our Guyangkang grain wine, we have always adhered to the solid-state brewing process of pure grain, and the pits have been renovated for more than 40 years, so that the microorganisms in the wine can play a better role, advocate the healthy concept of drinking good wine in moderation, and stick to health to the end!
