In the process of drinking, some people drink a glass of wine and some people drink a few pounds and are not drunk. Henan Puyang once unearthed a pot of Western Han Wine more than 2,000 years ago, experts after investigation, actually cracked the ancient people's secret of a thousand cups of drunkenness, what is going on?
"Advise the jun to make a cup of wine, and the west out of the Yang Pass has no reason." The mainland has a long drinking culture, and with the continuous improvement of winemaking technology, different regions have also formed a unique wine culture and wine customs.
After the archaeological staff arrived at the site, they immediately conducted a field investigation to determine the existence of ancient tombs in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. After research, the staff decided to carry out a protective excavation of the tomb. In the process of cleaning the tomb, the staff unearthed more than 600 relics. The most surprising thing for the staff was the discovery of a Western Han copper lifting beam pot in Tomb No. 134, which was round, straight-mouthed, with a bulging abdomen and three cone-shaped feet at the bottom. When the staff shook the beam pot, there was the sound of water inside.
The staff was very excited to hear the sound of water, and immediately sent it back to the institute, because the sound of water in the beam pot meant that the liquid was preserved in the pot, but before taking the liquid, the experts encountered a big problem, how to take out the liquid in the bronze pot?
To solve this problem, experts held a symposium to discuss the solution of the liquid. After a long and intense discussion, the experts of the Henan Provincial Museum decided to use ultrasonic waves to vibrate a small hole in the bottle mouth, but in order to keep the remaining liquid in the pot as close as possible to the air, they decided to use the negative pressure method to extract it. First of all, the patina around the lid needs to be cleaned to avoid impurities blocking the ultrasonic holes, and then the liquid is slowly extracted with a sealed negative pressure tube, and finally the extracted solution is put into the vessel for preservation.
After six hours of sampling, the experts extracted a total of 30 milliliters of liquid, and the liquid was nearly transparent. Immediately afterward, the experts immediately sent the liquid to the authoritative department for testing, and finally determined that the liquid in the pot was "ancient wine", but what everyone did not expect was that the ancient wine in the pot was only 4 degrees.
The life of the ancients is inseparable from wine, in addition to drinking, they will also fight wine, such as: "Guan Ping Pei Yuan, The new, the wine market competes to see the wine people." "In the process of fighting wine, there are many historical celebrities who are not drunk. After mentioning "drinking", some readers will think of "Water Margin", Wu Song drank 18 bowls of wine before fighting the tiger, and at that time, a bowl of wine was actually only two or three, so Wu Song's eighteen bowls were about five pounds.
In addition to Wu Song being able to drink, Li Bai and Yu Dingguo were also very powerful. Li Bai is known as a poetry immortal, and in the process of drinking, he left many famous verses. From "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle and having fun, one will drink three hundred cups at a time." "We can feel Li Bai's amount of alcohol, 300 cups at a time, and he can also write poetry, which means that he is not drunk yet." Yu Dingguo was an official in the Western Han Dynasty, deeply appreciated by emperor Xuan of Han, according to historical records, Yu Dingguo can drink "counting stones without chaos", if according to the current racing, it should be able to drink 300 pounds.
The above three historical figures all have their own "drunk or not" attributes, is it really because they can drink? In fact, from the excavated Western Han Copper Lift beam pot, we can find the accurate answer, because the ancient wine degree is very low, as long as the other party has a certain amount of alcohol, basically will not get drunk.
The Western Han Dynasty wine found in Puyang, Henan, because of the presence of a large number of copper ions, basically can not drink, but it provides an important physical basis for future generations to study the wine culture at that time, and the discovery of ancient wine also proves to us that it is not buried for a long time, the more fragrant the wine, if buried in the ground for a long time, its taste will automatically disperse and become white water.
Dear readers, after reading this article, do you know the secret of whether the ancients were drunk or not?
