The sky of history, without the embellishment of Li Bai Dufu, will be tasteless; the inheritance of wine history, without the story of "Yi Yi", will also be so boring. Today, let's get closer to the records in the history books and savor the story of Yi That Originated two thousand years ago and was handed down all the way.
Western Han Dynasty: The "Miscellaneous Records of Xijing" records: "In the Han system, the Zongmiao Temple drank in August, using the "Nine Brews" and Tai Prison. The Emperor's Shrine.
This passage from the Xijing Miscellaneous Records is the earliest record of tribute wine from the era of the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, and this wine is named: "Jiuyi".
The Xijing Miscellaneous Records are the most important miscellaneous historical biographies for the study of the history of the Western Han Dynasty. Most of the western Han story allusions that modern people are familiar with are from this book, such as: "Zhaojun out of the plug", "Zhuo Wenjun eloped to Sima Xiangru", "Chiseled wall to borrow light", "Zhao Feiyan's body is as light as a swallow", etc. If the history of the Western Han Dynasty is missing the book "Xijing Miscellaneous", then if today's directors want to shoot a TV series of the Western Han Dynasty, it is estimated that they can't even find a decent story theme!
In addition, Liu Xin, the author of "Xijing Miscellaneous", may be the most legendary historical figure in the Western Han Dynasty, but today's directors and screenwriters have no one to explore his story theme. Liu Xin and his father Liu Xiang are the ceiling of the Western Han Confucian academic circles, the top bull-like figures, through the previous account everyone knows that most of the stories and legends of the Western Han Dynasty were recorded by his son Liu Xin, and the circulation records involving the pre-Qin stories were mostly completed by his father Liu Xiang, whose main works include "Warring States Policy", "Biography of Lienu", "Biography of Liexian", etc. Today's people are familiar with the "Ye Gong Good Dragon", "Painting Snakes and Adding Feet", "Jing Ke Thorn Qin King", "Three People Into Tigers", "Meng Mu Three Migrations" and other stories. It was written in his father's writings that they were passed down.
The academic achievements of this father and son, in their own historical practice, have given posterity a feeling of making a mistake in the science and technology tree. The previous article said that his father wrote the first biography of the immortals in Chinese history, "The Biography of the Immortals", and his son Liu Xin did not hesitate to write the legendary work "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is still familiar to people, and this father and son are simply the ancestors of the ancient Chinese immortals and ghosts. The historical development in reality also shows that these two really seem to have some kind of uncertain prophetic ability. Specifically, Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu on the eve of the decline of the Han Dynasty and the usurpation of Han by Wang Mang in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty. Please remember that among the celebrities who were contemporaries of Wang Mang liu xiu in history, there was another Liu Xiu, and this Liu Xiu seemed to have spied some kind of heavenly opportunity, took the initiative to change his name from Liu Xin to Liu Xiu, in an attempt to tamper with the Mandate of Heaven in order to seize the world, and as a result, history proved that he was not really the son of Heavenly Chosen, and did not have the atmospheric luck of the Guangwu Emperor, and finally because of the conspiracy to assassinate Wang Mang, he was killed by Wang Mang, and his life turned into a tragic ending. Despite this, his personal academic achievements were widely circulated in later generations, asking people today who have not heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
This is the story of Liu Xin of the Western Han Dynasty, the earliest recorder of Chinese tribute wine!
