After a long period of precipitation, the brewing technology in Qing Dynasty became particularly mature. Although Nuerhachi explicitly restricted drinking for the sake of the tribe's adherence to military aircraft, the delicacy and production of wine became a highlight of the Qing royal family, because it only promoted the development of China's brewing technology. Today, I would like to introduce some wines that Qing emperors loved to drink.
Emperor Kangxi who loves to drink koumiss.
Although the birth of koumiss was created by Mongols, it was especially loved by Manchu people, because the Manchu people led by Nurhachi, like the Mongols, were nomadic people who had been away from their homes all the year round. Because of the shortage of food and materials, Nurhachi banned Manchu people from making wine with food at the beginning of the war. The purpose of this is to save food and have more food and grass for Manchu soldiers to attack the city. Manchu people who are good at making wine learned from Mongols to make wine without grain to meet their own needs for wine. This wine is koumiss. It is said that Emperor Kangxi was particularly fond of koumiss. Even though he is an emperor who rarely drinks wine (distilled liquor), he can't stop loving and relying on koumiss. Kumiss is called Mongolian? Bazhen? Moreover, because its special production method (herbal brewing) can avoid the side effects of some wines, it is considered that it can be drunk more. Drinking koumiss for a long time can achieve the functions of expelling cold, relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation.
Yong Zhengdi who loves to drink Guilingji wine.
Yong Zhengdi is an ambitious emperor, diligent and loving the people, and kind-hearted. It is precisely because of his actions that he laid a good foundation for the prosperity of Kanggan. According to common sense, he doesn't drink, but I still found out the kind of wine he likes to drink, which is a kind of Guilingji wine assisted by traditional Chinese medicine. Guilingji wine is a health-preserving and nourishing wine brewed by using the characteristics of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the functions of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the yuan, tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. Moreover, it is not only excellent in function, soft in taste, clear in color, and even superior in taste to the first-class products, which makes Emperor Qianlong, who never drinks alcohol, particularly like this Guilingji wine.
Emperor Qianlong, who loves to drink yuquan wine.
Emperor Qianlong was the grandson of Emperor Kangxi and the son of Yong Zhengdi, and it was during his reign that Kanggan flourished. It is said that Emperor Qianlong favored yuquan wine and sincerely praised the taste of this wine; Yuquan wine's production is very particular. The grain raw material used is the top sorghum wheat from Heilongjiang. After ancient production and distillation, its unique mellow feeling will be scattered between the lips and teeth, which will make Manchu people feel the taste of their hometown. (Longxing in Qing dynasty, that is, the place of origin was in the northeast, so it is said that it is the taste of hometown). And drinking yuquan wine for a long time is good for your health and prolongs your life.
I just briefly introduced the types of wine that three generations of emperors in Qing Dynasty loved to drink, and I hope you can understand.
