In the recently popular " Meng Hua Lu ", in addition to the wonderful plot that people talk about, it also restores the aesthetic lifestyle of the Song Dynasty one by one: Song people loved to drink tea and also liked wine. People in the Song Dynasty have always regarded wine as their top priority. Not only did famous wines emerge in large numbers, but the practice of drinking was also prevalent. From common people to emperors and ministers, everyone was crazy about wine. Today we will talk about the prosperous and mellow wine culture of Song Dynasty.

Did people in the Song Dynasty drink wine?

Did people in the Song Dynasty drink wine? The answer is yes. The great poet of the Southern Song Dynasty Lu You was a loyal lover of wine. He wrote in the poem "Playing with Burning Firewood at Home on a Cold Night for Warming": "It's like pouring a small amount of wine, like embracing a heavy sable fur. After a sleep "The salary is very high, but it's hard to pay for it with a thousand pieces of gold." It not only expresses his love for wine, but also reveals that wine is very expensive and can be compared with a mink coat.

The great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty Su Shi also wrote in " Lao Tao Fu ": "Playing the jade separatist of the Xiang concubine, drumming the emperor's son Yun Ao ... lead the Boli of the South China Sea, drink it "Liangzhou's grapes." It is said that to enjoy wonderful wine, you need to hear the sound of fairy music and drink it in a glass imported from the Maritime Silk Road.

There were also many wine lovers among the emperors of the Song Dynasty

There were many wine lovers among the emperors of the Song Dynasty. According to the "Chunhua Rain Poem", in 994 AD, sweet rain fell from the sky and resolved the drought. Song Taizong Zhao Jiong then rewarded wine to the ministers around him to celebrate with everyone.

Song people not only drank wine, but also knew how to pair wine with food. According to the "Jade Food Patch" list of imperial kitchen dishes of the Song Dynasty, the emperor drank fifteen glasses of wine with one meal, and paired it with thirty dishes.

Pu Tao Dou wine can make you drunk, so what’s the point of suffering from Western Liangzhou?

Compared with the Tang Dynasty , the wines of the Song Dynasty lost the mysterious veil of " the fine wines of the Western Regions " and gradually became "civilian". During festivals, people would bring wine to the gardens for drinking; the Southern Song Dynasty poet Fang Yue wrote in his poem: "You can get drunk with grapes and wine, so why bother to drink wine from Xiliangzhou?" He said that the wine made by the Han people is no better than others. Why pursue the fine wines from the Western Regions if the difference is too great?

Why has Chinese wine had a long history but has not been passed down? There are three reasons for this:

. There are few areas suitable for growing grapes in China.

The only places suitable for growing grapes in ancient China were Turpan in Xinjiang, Xuanhua in Hebei, and Yantai in Shandong. During periods of strong national power (such as the Tang Dynasty), trade could be carried out through the Silk Road. Once the Western Regions were lost, even wine became a rare commodity.

. China is an agricultural country, and grain is the main crop.

In ancient China, grain was often used to make wine, because grain can not only be eaten by itself, but can also be used to make wine. For farmers, growing food can bring more benefits, so grapes will not be grown for winemaking.

3. The influence of European religious culture

Europe is a vast country with sparsely populated areas and low food production, so they first used fruits to make wine. At the same time, Christianity believes that red wine is the blood of Jesus Christ, and if you drink it, you will be with the Son. Therefore, Europeans like red wine and continue to improve it, making grapes and wine part of their culture.

As people's living standards improve day by day, people pay more and more attention to their health and quality of life. In an era when wine is indispensable and both quality and health are important, wine has undoubtedly become the darling of this era.
