On March 18th, the "Wine For Worshiping ancestors in the Hometown of the Yellow Emperor in the Year of Nongyin - Tianshi Wine Filling Ceremony of The Faience Pottery Workshop" was solemnly held in Zhengzhou. As the inheritor and promoter of Yangshao culture, Tianshi Wine was elected for the ninth time as the designated wine for worship in the Hometown of the Yellow Emperor. At the ceremony site, after the three kinds of wine of the sun, moon and stars are poured into 9 bronze dragon ear tiger foot square pots in turn, they will be sent to the site of the ancestral worship ceremony in the hometown of the New Zheng HuangDi, and will be enshrined on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar to the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of Chinese humanities.
The Ancestor Worship Ceremony in the Hometown of the Yellow Emperor has been a major event for the Chinese people to worship their ancestors since ancient times, and in 2008, it was selected as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects. In recent years, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony in the Hometown of the Yellow Emperor has become one of the cultural symbols with world influence in Henan Province, playing a major role in promoting the culture of the Yellow Emperor, uniting the Chinese people around the world, and promoting the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone. For nine consecutive years, tianshi was selected as the wine for the Yellow Emperor's ancestral worship ceremony, and the root culture was also transmitted behind it.
Yang Shao and the Yellow Emperor
Xu Xin, head of the comprehensive group of the Special Work Leadership Office for the Transformation and Development of the Liquor Industry in Henan Province and director of the Food Industry Office of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Henan Province, said that the Ancestral Worship Ceremony in the hometown of the Yellow Emperor is to commemorate the ancestors of humanities and carry forward the excellent culture of the nation, and through years of construction, it has become an important stage for promoting Chinese culture, an important window for opening up to the outside world, an important platform for enhancing exchanges and cooperation, and an important bridge connecting friendship between the four seas.
Wine played a pivotal role in the ceremony of friendship between ancient settlements. The glyphs such as "Zun" and "Wine" circulated in the early days are similar to the small-mouth pointed bottom bottle, which shows that the small-mouth pointed bottom bottle of the Yangshao culture period has witnessed the great unity of the world, and the Yangshao wine culture has been precipitated into the source of Chinese wine culture in the inheritance of later generations.
Bai Dongsheng, chairman of the Yellow Emperor Hometown Foundation in Henan Province, delivered a speech at the filling ceremony, "Culture is the blood of the nation and the spiritual homeland of the people." Yangshao culture has been associated with the exploration of the origin of Chinese culture and Chinese civilization since its discovery. The Yellow Emperor culture derived from the Yellow Emperor, as well as the Yangshao wine culture that is in line with the Yellow Emperor culture, has become thicker and thicker in the inheritance of thousands of years, and has become a cultural abuse of the Chinese nation to seek its roots and ask for its ancestors, at the same time, it is also an important part of yangshao culture, and it is a brilliant and thick chapter of Yangshao culture.
Yangshao and worship of ancestors
In 2014, The Faience Pottery Workshop was selected as the offering wine for the "Yellow Emperor's Hometown Worship of ancestors". For nine consecutive years, they all represented the world's fine wines and offered to the Yellow Emperor.
Behind the choice is the hard core strength of quality and brand. As Bai Dongsheng said: "For the selection of wine for offering, we are very cautious, from the history and culture, brand culture, product culture, product quality and other aspects of the selection, focusing on the core values of socialism, in line with the characteristics of the Central Plains culture, reflecting the promotion of Chinese culture, reflecting the sense of responsibility to the country and society." ”
In the camp of cultural liquor, the Faience Pottery Tianshi Wine carries the Yangshao culture. Different from other liquors, the faience pottery workshop Tianshi wine has the shape of a small-mouth pointed bottom bottle made of pottery, and the pottery vase is painted with five little people dancing and other ornaments, whether it is a bottle type or a decoration, it is a Yangshao cultural element, and the essence of Yangshao culture is shaped outside and hidden inside.
Cultural wine, immortalized by inheritance
Yangshao Liquor industry inherits the traditional brewing process and does not stick to it, since 2008, using the nine grain and four pottery processes, it has launched the thirteenth aroma type of liquor - Chinese pottery rongxiang, which is a unique brand in Yujiu.
Hou Jianguang, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Henan Yangshao Liquor Group, said that Yangshao Pottery Tianshi Wine, whether it is its own culture or brewing process, interprets the cultural essence of Chinese culture of "the unity of nature and man, harmony and difference". This is a high degree of consistency with the theme of the Yellow Emperor's worship of the ancestors in the year of The Year of Renyin, "the same root and the same origin, peace, harmony and harmony".
Yangshao Faience Pottery Tianshi Wine has been selected as the designated wine of the ceremony for many years, which is a manifestation of the self-confidence of Yujiu culture, and will also play a positive role in spreading the Civilization of the Central Plains, promoting Yangshao culture, and displaying the image of Yujiu.
