According to legend, the earliest brewer was Du Kang, and Xu Shen recorded in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Shaokang was the earliest brewer in ancient times. Shao Kang, Du Kang also. " Later generations regarded "Du Kang" as a synonym for wine. Cao Cao's "Short Songs" said: "How can I solve my worries? Only Du Kang. " In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Liu Baiduo who could make wine. The wine he brewed was called "Bai Duo Chun Lao". "Luoyang Zang Lan Ji" said its wine: "The fragrance of drinking is beautiful, and the moon will not wake up." There are also "Liu Lingzui" and "Ganlongzui" who are named.
Second, use color as an agent.
In ancient times, wine often floated yellow-green foam in cups, so it was called "goose yellow, duck green and green ant". Yang Wanli's "Song of Drinking" says: "Sit in the red room, bear white, duck head green into goose yellow." Xie Yuezhao's "Sick in the County, Showing Shen Shangshu" says: "It's easy to talk and recommend, but the ants are absolutely." Bai Juyi's "A Suggestion for Liu" said: "There is a ray of green in the old bottle and a little red in the static furnace. It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside? ? "Zhang Hua's" Sparse Articles "says:" Bamboo leaves are clear and Yicheng is poor. " Li He's "Into the Wine" goes: "The glass clock is thick with amber, and the wine in the small groove drops with red beads." Qu Yuan's poem says, "Drunk drinks make Justin." Here, "Pearl Red" and "Zhuangyuan Red" are all represented by colors. In addition, there are "dry red", "red friends" and "grape green" used for external colors.
Third, take the season as the agent.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, people made wine in autumn and winter, and only in spring did they make wine, hence the name Spring Wine. Later, more wines were named after spring. Li Bai once wrote "Old Spring" in the poem "Crying Xuancheng and Brewing Jizuo": "Old Spring should brew Jizuo's yellow spring. There is no Li Bai at the night show. Who are you drinking with? " Liu Yuxi's poem "Xing Wu sends five slogans to Korea" says: "Spring is in the parrot cup." Han Yu's "Four Poems of Feeling Spring" said: "If you are 100 years old, you can buy or discard your youth." Lu You's poem said: "In the spring, the glass is full of bells, and the official feels bitter and thin, and the wine is strong." Here, "Next Spring", "Sprinkle Youth" and "Glass Spring" are also wine names. Now there are many springs in China, such as Jiannanchun, Jianhechun and Jingyangchun.
Fourth, take the official position as the agent.
The high rank refers to the quality of wine, the high-quality wine is called "Qingzhou Congqing" and the inferior wine is called "Pingyuan Duyou". Liu Yiqing's "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" records: "If you wake up the princess book and are good at wine, you must taste the wine first. The good is called Qingzhou, and the evil is called Pingyuan Duyou. " Pi Rixiu's poem "Drunk can't rely on each other, so he sent Qingzhou to do it", which means to bring wine to meet him.
Fifth, act as an agent.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the working people in our country sang "Spring wine is for this purpose, attracting eyebrows and longevity" ("The Book of Songs in July"). It can be seen that wine can prolong life, so it is also called "chitose medicine". Su Shi's "Huanxi Yarn" says: "Jade powder is lighter than Huang Chitose's medicine, and snowflakes float in the spring, drunk to Jiang Yuye's eyebrows." Also known as "doctor Tianlu", because drinking can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, and the four bodies are integrated. "Qing Louis" contains: "Wine can make harmony, and it is appropriate to seal Dr. Tianlu." The ancients often used wine to drown their sorrows, so it was also called "broom star" and "selling wine medicine". Su Shi's "Dongting Spring" says: "You should call a poem hook and sweep a broom." Bai Juyi's "Persuade Wine to Send Yuan Wine" says: "Selling medicine is very fast.
