Glass bell, amber thick, small trough of wine drops pearl red.
The wine in Li He's pen is good wine; the name of good wine is called yellow wine.
The most famous wine in Enyi is rice wine. There are many local rice wines, such as liquor, shochu, mash, etc., commonly known as thick wine, also known as rice wine. Yellow wine is the oldest grain brewing wine in history, historians believe that there was already grain winemaking in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Yellow Emperors, according to this statement, the origin of rice wine should be tens of thousands of years old. The Book of Verses records: "Peel the dates in August and harvest the rice in October." For this spring sake, to introduce mei shou. "It shows that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, spring and autumn, farmers have begun to make wine after harvesting rice in October, and after brewing in the spring of the following year, it is used to pay homage to the elders and wish them a long life."
So who were the original rice wine makers? Li Baishi said: "If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky." If the earth does not love wine, the land should have no wine spring. "In Mr. Taibai's eyes, yellow wine has its own wine star brewing, but the dionysus that the people of Yanyi believe in is YiDi.
Legend has it that in that year, when the flood water flooded, Dayu spared no effort, leading the people to fight hard day and night on the feng river, overworked, waist and legs were sore, and walking with a shovel as a crutch. Lady Yu couldn't bear it, so she ordered her attendant Yi Di to find a cure for King Yu. One day, Yi Di was looking for herbs on the banks of the FengShui River, and suddenly found a group of monkeys, scrambling to drink the water in the stone mortar under a large mulberry tree, Yi Di felt strange, and looked closer, this mulberry tree branch was full of purple mulberries, and there were many ripe fruits, falling into the stone mortar under the tree full of rainwater in the past, at this time, the scorching sun, under the scorching sun, the mulberries in the water had been fermented, and a stream of mellow and fragrant breath drifted out, tempting the monkeys to come and drink the water, Interestingly, there were a few monkeys who, after drinking enough, lay crookedly on a rock not far away and fell asleep. Yi Di felt strange, so she also leaned down and tried to drink a few sips, ah! The water soaked in this mulberry is simply beautiful! She couldn't help but drink a few more sips, not good, people were a little dizzy, so she leaned on the side of the stone mortar to rest on the spot, and when she eased up and wanted to go, she found that her waist was actually not sore after days of hard work, and her legs were actually not painful. She remembered The pain of Yu Wang's illness, maybe she could try, so she used the clay pot she carried with her to fill some mulberry water, went back to offer water to The King of Yu, and said that the water came from, the King of Yu was deeply surprised, took the clay pot, drank it down, and felt a stream of heat passing through the intestines, and suddenly the body and mind were happy, and the King of Yu couldn't help but stretch his muscles and bones, huh? The soreness of the whole body is gone, and the limbs are much more aroused. He said happily to Yi Di: This water is from the unitary, it is called a bar! From now on, you will be responsible for creating this thing specifically to relieve the suffering of all beings in the world! Yi Di led the order of King Yu, brewed mulberry and other fruit wine, and did not know how many patients with waist and leg pain in the world were healed, and since then the reputation has spread far and wide. However, there is also a saying that "the prosperity of wine, from the emperor, into YiDi". This means that since the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, there have been various methods of making wine popular in the folk, but yidi summed up these methods of making wine, and began to circulate them in later generations.
The Book of Poetry and Daya records: "Fengshui Dongzhuo, Wei Yu's achievements." "King Yu dredged the river to control the flood, and from then on, the Feng River and the flooded river basin, the fertile wilderness, the rich storage, the anointed land, a rich faction! Historical records record that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the development of agriculture provided sufficient original materials for the brewing of rice wine, and Jiang Tong said in the "Wine Curse": "There is no end to the rice, entrusted to the empty mulberry, the fruit is formed into the taste, and the gas is stored for a long time." This is the reason, not by odd square. "This should be the origin of grain-brewed rice wine, because the products are rich and the grain is rich." At this time, the brewing process has also been further developed on the basis of the predecessors. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the invention and application of Qu Yao had greatly improved the brewing technology of rice wine, and the Book of Han and The Chronicle of Food Goods said: "One brew uses coarse rice and two axes, and it is made into wine six hu and six buckets." "This is the earliest existing recipe for brewing rice wine with rice koji medicine in China."
Three years after the beginning of Qin Hong, Emperor Yao Xing and the Hundred Officials of Wenwu invited the high-ranking monk Of the Guizi Kingdom of the Western Regions, KumoRoshi, to Chang'an to explain the Buddhist scriptures, passing through the Feng River, setting up a ferry port in Qin Town, HuXian County (from which Qin Du got its name), and setting up a banquet with the yellow wine of Yixian County, and the state teacher Kumo Luoshi, this monk, actually had a fondness for huangjiu in Yanxian County, so Emperor Yao Xing gave an order to build a grass hall under Guifeng Mountain, establish a translation field, for KumoRoshi to translate Buddhist scriptures, and of course, he also went to drink and drink. This is probably also one of the reasons why Caotang has become a big base for the brewing of wine in Yanxian County, and the local people still have the children's song of "jujube cake steamed buns, carrying and walking, eating steamed rice, drinking yellow wine", and "wine is grain essence, there is no failure, wine has ten guts, drink dare to go down to the pond (Gaoguantan)" folk songs. Wine can be chaotic, the Buddhist family abstains; wine can nourish sex, and immortals drink it. Different people have different cognitions of wine, but in the land of Enyi, people seem to be more closely following the yellow wine, I don't know when it started twice a year, the most grand and lively yellow wine party (held in July and October) customs in each village have been circulating in the folk, these, when it is the thick historical origin and local characteristics of the yellow wine in Yanxian County, of course, is also the respect of the local people for the yellow wine culture.
By the Tang Dynasty, the winemaking industry in Yixian County had been very developed, with wineries everywhere and fragrant flowers. Eunuchs and ordinary people, at four o'clock and eight festivals, food and drinking parties, will sing to the wine and drink yellow wine. Bai Juyi said: "Morning tour of Zige Peak, Twilight Mountain Village, the village elder saw Yu Xi, in order to open a bottle." "It depicts a situation in which local farmers brew their own food to entertain guests. It is said that Emperor Gaozong Li Yuan and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin once went to caotang temple to incense, and when they were summering in the Taiping Palace, they all used the yellow wine of Yixian To feast on their courtiers, which made the reputation of Huangxian yellow wine greatly enhanced, and it was full of Jingzhao land, especially loved by literati and celebrities. The land of Enyi, which is originally a beautiful mountain and clear water, a blessed land on earth, has always been a royal garden, loved by people, so poets climb the mountain here, look for seclusion, drink poetry in Shanglin Garden, calligraphy and painting articles in the countryside, so here, formed a unique Tang Dynasty wine culture. Bai Juyi once said: "Persimmon trees are shady, the Wang family courtyard is wide, the bottle of Yinxian wine, the wall is the end of the South Mountain", the poet drinks in the summer, and the leisurely and relaxed pleasure ripples between the mountains and rivers of Yiyi; Du Fu once had the verse "No boat can swing the paddle, a hundred pots of wine are like springs", the wine sent by this Xipi boat is not the beautiful yellow wine of Yanxian County; of course, the county ordered Wei Yingwu's liquor store, leaving behind the sentence "The deep door divers come to the rare, and the mellow taste is unchanged throughout the year", and it is even more a praise for the yellow wine of Yanxian County...
What is life like for wine? With the passage of time, the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry fields, the Wang family wine written by the Xiangshan resident has long disappeared, but the yellow wine will not disappear in this land. In the caotang area south of the Yuwang Temple, it seems that there is a slightly larger rice wine enterprise: Dakou Liquor, specializing in liquor, and I heard that it has also won international awards. On the streets of Qinzhen in the north of Yuwang Temple, we can still see a lot of folk rice wine workshops sprinkled in the streets and alleys today, and the more well-known ones are pujia yellow wine in Yongrentang, the Chang'an residence of the slippery family, and so on. Today, taking advantage of the autumn light, let's walk into the old street of Qinzhen to find the story of yellow wine hidden in the depths of the years.
Yellow wine, always pay attention to water is the blood of wine, rice is the meat of wine, qu is the bone of wine, taste is the soul of wine. Qindu town adjacent to the Feng River, the water quality is sweet, the color is clear, Lao Tzu once said that "the depth of the fengshui is ten, not dust, gold and iron in the middle, the shape is seen outside", the water quality is hard and rich in minerals, is an excellent water source for making yellow wine. Fenghe Four Wild, fertile land, rice fragrant, before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, rich in rice, especially the best raw material for winemaking, high starch content of the round glutinous famous. Fenghe Wetland, rich in grass, is rich in the main raw material of yellow wine koji - aconitum (local people call it wu yao), and the wild spicy indigo grows everywhere for the production of koji also provides rich resources. The wine taste is based on Pujia yellow wine, which was once the royal winemaker for generations and later settled in Qindu Town. Later generations made a living by operating medicinal herbs, but they had a lot of research on sake koji and also liked the winemaking business of their ancestors, so in the continuous exploration, the organic combination of the three formed their own unique brewing process. Especially in the hands of Mr. Pu, the head of today, he is on top of the ancestral skills, in-depth research, development and development of rheumatic wine, rejuvenation wine, tonic wine and consumption wine, writing a new immortal chapter for Yanxian yellow wine.
One side of the water and soil side wine, Qinzhen yellow wine, because of its small sugar content, the taste is slightly bitter, the local people called "bitter head wine", but after the bitter back to the sweet, the aftertaste is endless is also a major feature of it. In addition, although Qinzhen yellow wine is rice wine, but the wine is fierce, during the Republic of China, it was humorously called "heel wine" by Mr. Yan Zhenpu, a Qin performance artist, hahaha, which means that drunk but it is going to fall and fight, but in fact, the world is prosperous, the virtual pole is quiet, and the real drunken dream of falling and falling, it is not the wine, Lu Chunyang has long told us: "The floating name is thicker than wine, and the drunk world is dead." "Poor wine, vainly taking on a false name, alas!
Three thousand years of reading history, but also fame and fortune; ninety thousand miles of enlightenment, and finally return to the poetry and wine pastoral. In those years, the wine world's heavens, places, and people, so with The Yi, and QinDu gently embraced, brewed, and finally remained on this land in the form of yellow wine, turned into poetry, turned into songs, chanted by history, sung by us, resounded throughout the ages, enduring...
