Everyone in Nanjing has gone to play it! Cheng'en Temple, I don't know if you have been there, Cheng'en Temple, is a temple in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, located in the area of Sanshan Street in nanjing, this temple is very famous, it was the great eunuch Wang Jin at that time donated a residence to build, when Matteo Ricci came to China and lived here. In recent years, the temple has been renovated, and workers have dug up several bluestone pillars and several wine jars from the ground during construction.
At that time, the construction, the worker master realized that this may be a cultural relic, so he stopped the construction and reported to the superior unit, and then, when the archaeologists excavated the ruins of Cheng'en Temple, they dug out 10 wine altars from the ground, and as soon as the entire archaeological site was opened, the entire archaeological site was immediately overflowing with wine, and these wine altars actually contained liquor from more than 500 years ago, when the aroma of wine filled the entire archaeological site, attracting the people who were under construction at the site. But the experts quickly stopped it, saying that this could not be drunk.
But his reason is simply a big joke, the life of the ancients did not have so many rules and regulations, some people went to war, naturally some people in order to feed and clothe, has been in the field to planing food, in addition to the time of work, is not very boring, the ancients in order to enrich the amateur life, wine came into being. Therefore, compared with drinking soup, the ancients have a longer history of drinking wine. And now unearthed liquor, why can't you drink it? Experts say that some of these jars have been deformed and seeped into the water, and some dirt has also been mixed in, so the wine can no longer be drunk.
In fact, it is also reasonable, if it is liquor, it should be obtained by the distillation method of solid fermentation, the general alcohol content is 50-60 degrees, so that any bacteria of the wine people cannot survive, and if the wine altar is sealed well, buried in the ground, constant temperature and humidity, the alcohol component will not lose a lot. But now the wine jar has been deformed, so it is possible that bacteria have entered, so do not drink.
And these wine aromas will definitely be very strange to everyone, why can these 10 altars of 500 years of liquor still be so fragrant? In fact, because the winemaking process of the Ming Dynasty at that time was very mature, especially the use of red yeast to brew white wine, the stability of red yeast is very good, there are anti-corrosion and antioxidant functions, so these wines can have such a large aroma after five hundred years, in the opinion of the editor, or the wisdom of the ancients is good! It is said that these wines will not wear away the aroma of these wines after another five hundred years, which shows that the ming dynasty's wine-making process is very advanced.
In the editor's opinion, no matter whether these wines can be drunk, we should not be able to drink, after all, these are also cultural relics, and the jars are deformed into the water, plus into some mud is also mixed, it is mixed with the mud, it can not be drunk, there must be a problem, do you think these wines can be drunk
