Why is rice wine the oldest wine in the world?
The history of rice wine can be traced back to ancient times, as early as the Hemudu culture period, our ancestors have mastered the technology of winemaking, and the wine at that time is the prototype of rice wine. With the passage of time, rice wine has gradually integrated into the cultural bloodline of the Chinese nation and has become an indispensable part of sacrifices, celebrations, banquets and other occasions. Its unique brewing process and taste, as well as its close connection with traditional Chinese culture, have endowed rice wine with profound historical heritage and cultural value.
Compared with the ancient history of rice wine, the rise of red wine in the West is much younger. Although red wine also has its own unique brewing technology and cultural connotations, its history is only a few hundred years. However, driven by capital, red wine has gradually been endowed with a noble and elegant symbolic meaning, and has become a representative of the pursuit of gentlemanly demeanor and international image. On various occasions, red wine is seen as a symbol of taste and, to some extent, even to a certain extent, a sign of status and status.
Under the impetus of capital speculation and the indiscriminate bombardment of marketing and advertising, the status of red wine has been infinitely elevated, while some traditional and more historical rice wine has been ignored to some extent.
This is not to say that wine itself has no value, but we should more fully understand and respect the cultural and historical value of various types of wine. We should re-examine and discover the treasures of our native culture.
Chinese rice wine, as the oldest liquor in the world, is valued far beyond history and taste.
It carries the cultural memory of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and is an important part of traditional Chinese food culture. Every drop of rice wine contains the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancestors. From material selection to brewing, every step of the way is excellence, and this ultimate pursuit of quality is the embodiment of the spirit of traditional Chinese craftsmen.
Rice wine also has a high nutritional value. It is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and drinking it in moderation is good for the body. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, rice wine also has the effects of dispelling cold in warmth, helping yang and channeling, etc., and is deeply loved by the masses.
Rice wine, the ancient "golden liquid", is returning to people's field of vision with its unique charm. Let us taste the mellowness of this history, feel the profundity of this culture, and jointly protect and inherit this precious national treasure.
