Legend has it that in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, whether it is a large household or an ordinary person's family, they will brew some yellow wine at home, and when they give it to people, they will put the brewed yellow wine into some jars carved with dragons and phoenixes, flowers and birds, and the yellow wine packaged in such exquisite vessels is called flower carving.
In ancient times, when daughters were married, the fine wine used as a banquet guest was drunk when the daughter was married, and it was called "daughter red".
In the folk, the flower carving wine has a poignant story.
There is a folk custom that if the daughter in the family is born, some yellow wine will be brewed, and when the daughter is married, it will be taken out for the guests, and this wine is called "daughter red".
If the daughter is not married and dies early, the wine at this time is called "flower carving", "flower carving" means "flower withering", with the meaning of flowers falling and dying early, so the flower carving is more of a layer of mourning and poignancy than the daughter red.
Of course, this is also the saddest explanation in the story about "Daughter Red".
The best famous daughter wine, according to legend, the rich family adopted daughter, the first moon, brewing several altars, until the woman went out, that is, with this wine to accompany the marriage. ——— Qing Dynasty Notes "The Continuation of the Traces of the Waves"
