Friends who like fine wine, let's travel back to the Han Dynasty together and participate in a high-standard banquet.
First of all, when entering the banquet, you must sit on the floor, one person per person, but this seat is only large enough to accommodate one person.
The waiter lifted up the dignified man who was filled with wine.
In the 21st year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu County's Western Gong manufactured a kind of flute-shaped zun
Zun is the most common wine-serving utensils in the Han Dynasty, and the shapes are also diverse, the picture above is a zheng-shaped zun, and the lower one has Chengxuan. There is also a special shape of the portrait, which is to make the statue into the shape of an animal.
"Sumen Rhinoceros" zun, the ingenious work of the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty
This rhinoceros is dignified and loved. But complex styling can be less likely to brush.
The maid sister used a spoon with a long handle to hold the wine in the ear cup. "Cup" originated from "抔," which is originally the meaning of "hand-whipping", the so-called ear cup, is named from the cup ear, the ear cup is also called "Yu Qian", "Yu Yu Xiang Xi Shu Shu

Ear cups are placed on the top of the case, the little sister respectfully placed in front of the guests, of course, there will be other food on the case, the banquet that pays attention to etiquette, food and wine on the case are fixed.

A case is a rectangular shallow plate, copper, bamboo or wood, somewhat similar to the plates used in today's fast food restaurants.
Raising eyebrows, it is this kind of case.

There is also a drinking vessel called 卮, which was originally made of wood chips, so it used to be very inward, and later gorgeously transformed into the shape of a common cup today. There are various specifications, the largest can hold a bucket of wine, about 2000 ml, in the Hongmen banquet, Fan Duo once drank a bucket of wine, by Xiang Yu called "strong man".
Can anyone really drink a bucket of wine and still be able to talk and laugh? In fact, the degree of alcohol in the Han Dynasty was generally not high, so the people who drank well in the history books abounded, and it was not so much a consideration of alcohol tolerance as it was a test of a person's appetite.

However, the wine of the Han Dynasty is also divided into sake and liquor, sake is a continuous feeding and brewing of wine, the degree is high, the taste is also clear and sweet, liquor is named after the juice is turbid and white, the degree is low, different from today's liquor.
Exquisite people's hospitality, or the banquet of the rich and powerful, will prepare sake and liquor, served in different dignities, called "innocent and different dignity", for guests to choose according to their own tastes.
In the Han Dynasty, there were already many famous brand-name wines in the sea, such as: "Yicheng Mash", "Cangwuqing", "Zhongshan Winter Brew", "Guanzhong Bai thin" and so on, probably comparable to today's Maotai Wuliangye.
In order to make the wine full of aroma, the people also add vanilla and other raw materials to co-brew with wine, such as pepper wine, cinnamon wine, cypress wine, Lanying wine, chrysanthemum wine and so on.

At that time, there was also a kind of Junxing wine, which was very common, I don't know whether it was a brand of wine or the name of a wine glass, but this name was really good, "Jun is on the side, how fortunate", just listen to the name and get drunk.
Some people are not drunk in a thousand cups, there are also people who do not drink wine, but those who are not good at drinking do not have to be depressed, the Han Dynasty not only has drinks, but also has many tricks, for example, there is a kind of rice milk slowly boiled with rice flour, adding honey sauce, another kind of pulp made of fruit, this delicate production process, Honey Snow Ice City is not necessarily comparable.

There are also fresh milk and yogurt, as well as the "horse wine" made of horse milk fermentation, which is slightly alcoholic and has a sweet and sweet taste, thanks to the mutual communication between the Central Plains and the Hu people, and the Hu-Han controversy brings not only war and hatred, but also exchanges and integration.
Unfortunately, the tea was not yet mature at that time, only the coarse boiled tea soup, not as cumbersome and delicate as today's tea ceremony.
If you accidentally drink too much, the ancients also have a homemade decanting drink - ganshu drink, is squeezed with sugarcane juice, clear and delicious, from a physiological point of view, glucose can indeed accelerate the metabolism of alcohol, although the ancients did not pay attention to common sense, but this has long been understood.

In addition to various types of banquets, the ancients who loved wine also often sold wine for drinks and poured themselves, at that time, no matter whether the city or countryside had many winemaking workshops full of stars, the liquor store was called "垆", "Hu Ji fifteenth year, spring alone", Xin Yannian's "Yulin Lang" described a beautiful young girl who kept the wine alone and sold wine, and was flirted with by the evil slaves of the high-ranking officials. It turns out that it is dangerous for a beautiful little sister to sell wine alone, and after a thousand years, she will still worry about the fate of the little sister.
Of course, the most famous thing about the wine bank is "Wenjun selling wine", Sima Xiangruqin picked Wenjun, and the story of the two eloping to sell wine has achieved a good story throughout the ages.

Of course, the homes of rich and high-ranking officials often prepare their own winemaking workshops, use urns to make wine and store wine, and the things that ordinary people do such as selling wine do not exist for them.
The people of the Han Dynasty are open-minded, renxia is righteous, and singing and drinking is a happy thing in life for them, "life is not a golden stone, and the life of the year can be expected", and people at the time also realized that life is short, the universe is infinite, and it should be happy in time.
"Singing about wine, geometry of life", from Cao Cao's poems to the pleasant drinks of a grass people, fine wine has become an indispensable style to show the spiritual outlook of the Han Dynasty.
