Flower carving wine is a very old wine, from the ancient "daughter red" evolved, about the origin of this name, there is a romantic and poignant legend: it is rumored that there is an ancient law in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, on the day of the daughter's full moon to choose a number of wine altars, buried in the ground, until the day of the daughter's marriage and then take out the guests to drink, this is called "daughter red" also. However, if the daughter dies early and the flower has withered, the wine is no longer called "daughter red", but becomes "flower wither", and later, because the name is too sad, it is renamed "flower carving".
