Development history of wine
When our ancestors were still apes, they had already had a relationship with alcohol. Because, the earliest wine, is the natural fermentation of fruit drop. So, wine, not a human invention, but a day of good fortune.
The prerequisite for artificial wine is the manufacture of pottery. Otherwise, it will be impossible. In the Yangshao culture sites, both have pottery pots. We can infer, about six thousand years ago, artificial brewing began. In Yao, the wine has been popular in the society. “ 1000 bell ” two character mark, which is the primary difference in water and wine. "Historical records" records, Miriam di “ wine ” to offer Da Yu, this is the beginning of the grain wine. Since the summer, business week, calendar and the Qin and Han Dynasties, so that the Tang and Song Dynasties, is a fruit grain cooking, plus the fermentation, squeezing and then wine. Li Shizhen in the "Bencao Gangmu" says: “ non ancient liquor also, since the yuan founded the law. With strong drink and bad into the steamer, steam to gas, used for take dettol. Where all the sour wine, can be steamed. Near, lest by rice or rice or millet or barley steamed, and the song brewing VAT seven, to retort to take. The water, such as water, very strong, and the cover of wine. &rdquo, the core of this speech, is that the process of making wine, from the original cooking, fermentation, pressing, and instead of cooking, fermentation, distillation. The so-called breakthrough, the essence is alcohol purification. This mode of production has been basically the same as that of the modern. Qian Long of the Qing Dynasty, Xuanhua wine pot farmers collected on the tax, marking the liquor industry is flourishing.
Since ancient times, wine has been accompanied forward in the history of the rise and fall of footsteps. Kong Shangren in "Peach Blossom Fan" wrote: “ see him from Zhu Lou, see his banquet guests. ” Xing also have wine, wine is also dead, indeed through ups and downs and no waste, and Jane calendar emi. “ wine for disaster for a long time, ” in fact, the character of a man is determined by the quality, physiological gene, has nothing to do with wine. Good good, evil for evil, there is no wine, wine, drink and drink, not what has changed. Wise people, we do not need wine song too high, heavy duty. Our attitude, this is not a day is not vertical, the trend of instrument, advantages, avoid their disadvantages.
