<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="48" > Dukan and Yidi were both ancient winemakers, and they were both collectively known as "Condi". For the sake of who is china's dionysus, there has been a lot of debate for thousands of years. Therefore, some people say that Du Kang created the shú wine, Yi Di created the sake mash, and the two of them were the founders of different liquors. </h1>
In fact, as early as the Yellow Emperor period, there was a winemaking industry in China, and Yidi and Du Kang were winemakers who summed up the experience of their predecessors and transformed them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="5" > Du kang and Yi Di</h1>
In the Chronicle of History, Du Kang was the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and he created wine.
In the Shuowen Jiezi, Du Kang was also the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and the wine was also created by him.
Different from the two Han Dynasty classics, the Lü's Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Policy believe that the wine was created by Xia Yu's daughter Yi Di, and also said that Yi Di offered the wine to Xia Yu to taste, and after Xia Yu tasted it, he actually issued a prohibition on alcohol. (For Prohibition, see here: it is both a fine wine and a poison, how was alcohol forbidden in ancient times?) ）
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="18" > wine officer</h1>
In ancient times, there was an official in charge of making wine, developing the taste of wine, and buying and selling wine, whose role was similar to that of the modern wine industry, but he was an officially certified ancient version of civil servants.
In the historical records, Yi Di was an official in charge of wine, but what about Du Kang? Doesn't it mean that he was the monarch of the Xia Dynasty? How can the officials who manage the liquor have anything to do with it?
In fact, in the legend, Du Kang is not only the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, he also has an identity - the courtiers of the Yellow Emperor, who are specially responsible for brewing wine.
There are some ancient books that say that Di Yao and Di Shun are kings who drink a lot of alcohol, which shows that there was already wine before the pre-Qin, and there were also officials responsible for winemaking around the king.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="32" > the first person to brew wine</h1>
In the Shiben (Ancient Genealogy), there is a saying that "Yi Di makes wine mash and changes the five flavors." Du Kang as a barley wine", which means that one of these two different kinds of wine was invented by Yi Di and the other was invented by Du Kang.
In this way, the title of the first person to brew wine will no longer be disputed, and one person will be directly one by one, reflecting the middle way of our country since ancient times.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" data-track="42" > mash and sake</h1>
However, sake mash is not the same as the rice wine we know in modern times, but it also has a name called mash, which is a liquor made from glutinous rice that has been fermented.
The mash is soft, sweet in taste, and the color is white and delicate like a bowl of thick sweet porridge. In addition to making sake, mash has other functions, such as as being a staple food or ingredient.
Barley is made from sorghum, which is made in a similar way to mash.
Although barley wine is made from sorghum, it is not the liquor we know as well, but the rice wine (Shaoxing liquor) that we use in our daily dishes. Liquor is a liquor that is distilled through distillation equipment and appears later than sake.
Although the Shiben gives a moderate version of the first person to brew wine, there is no answer to who is the real first person to brew wine in the history of Chinese winemaking. The Chinese medicine classic "Yellow Emperor Neijing, Suwen, Tang Liquid Mash And Mash" mentions a sweet wine mash (láo lǐ) made of rice, which shows that there was already wine as early as the pre-Qin period.
Therefore, both Yi Di and Du Kang were the masters of winemaking of their predecessors, perfecting and creating sake mash and rice wine, which were praised and provided by future generations.
