The happy weekend is over, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of hard work.
If you want to ask me what is the happiest thing about the weekend, I think people will say: "A glass of red wine with a movie, turn off the phone, and comfortably nestle in the sofa,....."
In today's society, we always like to use "wine" to express our emotions, friends gather to drink some wine, friends send off to drink some wine, today's happy to drink, today's unhappy also to drink, marriage to drink happy wine, sweep the grave to pour wine...
It can be seen that wine already has an unshakable position today, and it has become an indispensable part of our lives.
Why do Chinese drink when they don't move? What is the fascinating cultural history behind wine? Don't worry, let's look down together.
In fact, wine is one of the main drinks in human life, China's history of wine making and drinking has a long history, a wide range of categories, wine culture is infiltrated in the entire Chinese civilization history of 5,000 years.
About three or four thousand years ago, the monarch of the Shang Dynasty, King Huan, was very fond of drinking. Originally gifted and energetic, he later indulged in fine wine and built a wine pond meat forest, but as a result, he was self-conscious and ended up in the end of the country. So people began to think that drinking alcohol would destroy the country.

Do you think that in this way wine will withdraw from the stage of history? In fact, this is the beginning of our wine culture.
Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi believed that wine was the root of the subjugation of the country, and the Jian Dynasty issued a ban on alcohol. Although the Zhou Dynasty eventually perished, it lasted longer than the Shang Dynasty. In this way, people feel that drinking alcohol is really equivalent to the destruction of the country.
In the Han Dynasty, although the prohibition of alcohol was also promulgated, it was only a vain name, and everyone from the emperor to the commoners almost loved to drink. There are historical records that after the death of Liu Sheng, the son of Liu Qi, the Emperor of Hanjing, he put 5,000 kilograms of wine in his tomb.
Later dynasties saw that the Han Dynasty was so indulgent and prosperous in drinking, so they followed suit and began to drink wine, after all, drinking wine does not necessarily mean that the country will perish and may reach its peak.
After understanding that drinking wine will not destroy the country, drinking still needs someone to "bring goods" in order to go further. The good wine style of the Han Dynasty directly affected the bones of wei and Jin, and many celebrities and scholars also combined drinking and poetry into one.
Cao Cao once wrote in "Short Song Line": "When singing about wine, what is life? ”
Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xiu, and others were even more idle and idle, and they did not get drunk and did not return.
In Wang Xizhi's masterpiece "Orchid Pavilion Collection", the scenes of their drinking are recorded one by one.

In this way, drinking has become a graceful thing, attracting a large number of people.
So Du Fu also came, and according to records, he wrote about fourteen hundred poems in his lifetime, and there were more than three hundred about drinking. His good friend Li Bai is also very obsessed with wine, writing in his book "Will Enter the Wine": "Life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon."
The eight immortals in drinking are depicted in the eight famous poets of the Tang Dynasty who drank and wrote poems
With the increasing number of literati and inkers who drank, drinking wine slowly became a matter of Yaxing, so in the days that followed, from the prince general to the small people in the city, they all loved to drink for ten minutes.
To this day, we always seem to like to drink some wine in various situations, as mentioned at the beginning, happy to drink, unhappy to drink, in large part of the reason is from our thousand-year-old wine culture.
In the process of the evolution of wine culture, we also pay more and more attention to the inner feelings when drinking, close to our own hearts. In fact, what we value is not drinking, but the expression of emotions, the feeling of missing our family, the brotherhood of our friends, and so on...
Wine culture is an important part of the Chinese national food culture. Its history began almost at the same time as the history of human culture, and its development process coincided with the history of economic development.
Today, wine is not only a food, it also has rich spiritual and cultural value. As a spiritual culture it manifests itself in all aspects. In this sense, drinking is not about drinking for the sake of drinking, it is also about drinking culture.
