First, the origin of wine culture
According to historical records, in the Xia Dynasty, an official named Yi Yidi presented wine made of rice wrapped in mulberry leaves to Dayu. Dayu felt very sweet after drinking it, so he had a hunch that future generations would miss the country because of drinking. So they ordered a ban on wine making. But because wine is too sweet, some people secretly spread the method of making wine. In ancient times, many literati gave wine an elegant name, such as nectar and jade, and golden syrup. Therefore, wine has become a necessary item for literati to talk about poetry and rap.
Second, China's drinking culture
China is very particular about drinking, so he made up a lot of drinking orders and drinking songs in order to drink. So since ancient times, there have been many allusions that use wine as an introduction. For example, Cao Cao hosted a banquet for Liu Bei and cooked wine with his childhood friends to show his ambition. Moreover, there are countless literary works taking wine as an example, which add very interesting content to China's wine culture. On the other hand, the performance of drinking culture is to drink slowly, don't drink it all at once, and don't drink it unconscious directly.
Third, wine is like character.
The ancients also liked to study each other's personality from the etiquette of drinking. People who drink as drunk as a fiddler think that wine is not good enough, and it is not a gentleman. Therefore, wine culture is actually a living habit of China people, but with the invasion of foreign wine culture, the wine culture in China is gradually changing.
