At present, CCTV's "Characters" from Meeting You" series of documentaries is continuing to be broadcast, one episode and one word, all in the form of stories, vividly presenting the origin and flow of Chinese characters.
Chinese characters, the spirit of Chinese civilization, have a strong cultural interest, profound situational wisdom and cute figurative thinking. Therefore, by splitting different Chinese characters into different individuals, we can trace its origin and development.
Looking through the dictionary, you can see that Bo [bó] is one of the oldest Chinese characters in China and the exclusive character of a city, specifically referring to Bozhou in Anhui.

According to the individual split, the top of the word "亳" in the oracle bone is a "person" prefix, which is actually "宀", which reflects the meaning of settlement, and the word below it is "mouth", which represents the meaning of cangyu, that is, "storage" and "abundance". Below is the pictogram of a wheat ear, which, by extension, is a harvest of grain.
Therefore, it can be seen from the evolution of the word that it evolved from the humanistic advantages of Bozhou and the origin of wheat.
So far, hundreds of millions of people have learned the word "Bo" through this activity, and through an ancient Chinese character, they have read a city - "Bozhou" and fallen in love with a bottle of wine - Gujing Tribute Wine.
The "origin" culture of ancient Bozhou
"Jiangbei Resort, North and South Ridge".
Bozhou, China, at the junction of the four provinces of Suzhou, Luzhou, Henan and Anhui, has obvious monsoons, mild climate, sufficient sunshine, and a long frost-free period, and has always been a place where ancient ancestors settled down.
The Vortex River in Bozhou, bordering the Yellow River in the north and the Huai river in the south, carries silt and various sediments, impacting many gentle slopes, forming a natural breakwater, providing extremely favorable conditions for reclamation and farming.

In Bozhou, nearly 30 cultural sites have unearthed nearly 10,000 precious cultural relics such as stone tools, pottery, bone ware, mussels, etc., including pottery, pottery, and goblets used by the ancestors, indicating that as early as 5,000 years ago, bozhou has already had winemaking activities.
A large number of wine artifacts, accompanied by a large number of wheat carbonization particles, have been excavated, which not only explains that Bozhou is one of the sources of Chinese wine, but also confirms the close relationship between Chinese wine and wheat: the use of wheat to make koji. To this day, Gujing Gongjiu still adheres to the tradition of brewing with wheat during the annual peach blossom season, and shoulders the brand mission from "Chinese brewing" to "world fragrance".
Chinese Brew, World Incense: China's "Dionysian Spirit"
Looking at the 5,000-year development trajectory of civilization in Bozhou, many humanistic ancestors settled here, forming a primitive tribe that built houses on high places, establishing the prototype of civilization, and then the Shang Tang King built the capital here, and commerce flourished here. The leap of the economy has made the incomparably brilliant civilizations such as Taoist culture, Cao Wei culture, Traditional Chinese medicine culture, poetry and wine culture, and laid a cultural foundation for the precipitation of the Chinese wine spirit.
In particular, the Vortex River culture, named after the character "Tao", has had an extremely profound impact on the cultural development of the Chinese nation. The taoist ancestors Laozi and Zhuangzi were born on the banks of the Vortex River in Bozhou, and their Taoist spirit of "drunkenness and divine perfection" laid the core connotation of the "unity of heaven and man" in Chinese wine.
Adhering to the Taoist spirit of "drunkenness and divine perfection", the Bozhou people have obtained the dionysian artistic state of "the most human being", and achieved the "Short Song Line", with the spiritual height of "singing to wine and the geometry of life", opening up a new realm of Chinese poetry and wine culture.
As a result, the wind of Chinese poetry and wine culture continued to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and eventually became an important part of China's "poetry" founding.

In 196 AD, Cao Cao presented the JiujiuChun wine produced in his hometown of Bozhou and its brewing method "JiujiuJiujiu Law" to the Han Emperor Liu Xie, creating the history of "tribute wine" of Gujing tribute wine.
Therefore, as the regional business card of Bozhou, gujing tribute wine brand connotation not only contains Bozhou's 5,000 years of cultural history, craftsman spirit and spiritual connotation, but also condenses the milestone of "China's first tribute" and the milestone of Chinese poetry and wine culture more than 1800 years ago.
In 1963, Gujing Tribute Wine participated in the national famous wine appraisal for the first time, and was rated as the "Old Eight" famous wine. With the quality of "color as clear as crystal, fragrance as pure as youlan", it shows the world the craftsman spirit of Bozhou's 5,000 years of excellence.
In order to further convey to the world the most flexible spiritual connotation of Chinese wine - the spirit of Dionysus, and to convey the beauty of the Orient to the world. Since 2015, Gujing Tribute Wine has carried out the "Global Tour of Chinese Wine Culture" to let the people of the world taste the wisdom of Chinese brewing. At the same time, for many consecutive years, we have joined hands with the World Expo to spread traditional Chinese culture to more than 20 countries and regions. A vivid business card of Bozhou's "Chinese Brewing World Incense" not only tells the story of Chinese culture well, but also builds a bridge connecting China to the world with the Chinese "Spirit of Dionysus".
In the journey of Gujing Tribute Wine to the international, the "Global Reading "亳"] activity simultaneously provoked the Sprint Guinness Book of Records activity around the world, and once became the online game with the largest number of participants in the world.
Nowadays, more people know an ancient Chinese character "Bo", also know a thousand-year-old city - Bozhou, and know a bottle of wine - Gujing Tribute Wine. "Chinese brewing world incense", while raising a glass of gujing tribute wine, people tasted China's long-standing "Dionysus spirit" and "poetry and wine feelings". (Wang Jing)
