China has a wine culture for thousands of years. The management of wine was in the early stages of the need of rulers to maintain the regime, and in the later stages, it was increasingly based on the consideration of economic stability. The provisions on prohibition of wine were mostly out of the preferences of rulers. In ancient China, three methods were generally adopted to treat alcohol: prohibition, deliberation, and tax wine . Today we will take a look at what ancient banned wines were.
1. Dayu Juezhi Wine
When Dayu , there was a man named Yidi , who was good at brewing wine. Dayu's daughter ordered Yi Di to brew fine wine and give it to Dayu to taste. After drinking Dayu felt sweet and drunk. Just when everyone thought that Dayu would definitely reward his daughter and Yidi, Dayu refused to drink and said that someone would definitely destroy the country in the future.
2. weeks of Gong Prohibition of alcohol
week is believed to be related to wine to a certain extent to the demise of the Xia and Shang dynasties. It is believed that wine is an ominous thing and has lost its moral integrity. Therefore, the first prohibition of alcohol in ancient China was promulgated - " Jiugong ". It stipulates: "Drinke in groups, don't be idle, and you will be detained to return to Zhou, and kill him." This means that if someone gathers to drink, he must not indulge them. If they are arrested and sent to Zhou Jing, I will kill them. However, "Jiu Gao" is not a complete prohibition on alcohol. For example, drinking is allowed in occasions such as sacrifices, marriages, etc.
3.Shang Yang Punishment 10 prohibition
Shang Yang retained the official wine industry for official activities and stipulated that alcohol should be subject to heavy taxes. If a private sells alcohol, a tax of ten times the cost will be charged. So it dispelled everyone's idea of making wine and drinking. This policy continued until the early period of Qin and Han dynasties.
4. The Han Dynasty ban group drinking
Western Han Dynasty Although the " Prohibition of Drinking " was issued twice in the early stage. Once, during the Han Gaozu period, when Xiao He formulated the law, it stipulated that "more than three people drink alcohol for no reason, and a fine of four taels." Another time was during the period of Emperor Jing of Han , Emperor Jing ordered a ban on the sale of wine. However, these two appearances have special reasons. Emperor Gaozu of Han was worried that the world had just been pacified, and if people gathered together to drink, it would be easy for them to happen again. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, it was due to a large-scale drought across the country, resulting in poor grain harvests, mainly focusing on maintaining grain.
5. Three Kingdoms Prohibition
In TV series, we often see military generals drinking happily, but in fact, drinking during the Three Kingdoms period is a bit difficult, mainly because the Three Kingdoms period is turbulent, and there is not enough food to eat, and there is no excess grain to make wine. The prohibition of alcohol issued by both Cao Cao and Liu Bei is not allowed to brew or drink without permission. Therefore, Kong Rong did not abide by the prohibition of alcohol and was killed in the name of unfilial piety.
6. Yuan Dynasty ban
Due to military needs, Genghis Khan hates the spread of wine in the army, so the ban on the people was very strict during the Great Mongolian period. Kublai inherited this tradition and announced that it was strictly prohibited to brew and sell wine in private. "If there are private makers, their property and children will become officials, and prisoners will be assigned to servitude." Later, the punishment was changed to "the offenders will die." Kublai Khan still felt dissatisfied and further issued instructions on the ban on alcohol, ordering that "the officials in court drink alcohol will be beheaded."
7. Zhu Yuanzhang Prohibition of wine
In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to "the people make wine and waste, so they are prohibited from being banned" and issued an edict to "never plant glutinous rice, so they can't plant glutinous rice, so they can't plant glutinous rice in order to block the source of wine." Simply put, even the glutinous rice made of wine is not allowed to be grown. Later, the son of general Hu Dahai violated the prohibition of alcohol. Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Dahai himself regardless of Hu Dahai's leadership of the army to fight. This shows how strict the standard of Zhu Yuanzhang's prohibition of alcohol was.
8.Qianlong 5 provinces banned alcohol
The strictest ban on alcohol in the Qing Dynasty occurred in during the Qianlong .In the first year of Qianlong, the cabinet scholar Fang Bao proposed to Qianlong the ban on alcohol for the five northwestern provinces (Zhi Nan, Henan, Xi, Shaanxi, and Su). There are two reasons: First, these five provinces are poor, and it is wrong to waste "millions of grain" every year to make wine; the alcohol crime rate among the people in these five provinces is too high, and three percent of the major cases are related to drinking. Therefore, Qianlong ordered these five provinces to "forever ban winemaking." As a result, before the government decree was issued, the government and the country became incensed and there were constant opposition. Qianlong asked the top leaders of five provinces to discuss, and the five provinces have always opposed this government order. Later, Qianlong revised some of the government orders to reduce brewing only in the year of disaster. This decree was also incorporated into the Qing law, and evolved into a national legal system.
