Who are China's Dionysus, Dionysus and Brewmaster?

1. There are two recognized Dionysus in China, namely Yidi and Du Kang.

Since the era of three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, various brewing methods have been popular among the people. It is easy to summarize these brewing methods and spread them to later generations. Of course, it is not ordinary people who can carry out this kind of summary and promotion work, so it is not unreasonable to think that Yidi is an official in charge of brewing in some books.

Du Kang invented dustpan and broom, two gadgets that we use every day, when making wine. It is interesting to know one thing and two things. Du Kang is the fifth heir to Yu Xia. With such a low qualification, his position as the ancestor of brewing is really untenable.

But perhaps because Du Kang was the emperor, there are far more records about his "brewing" in later generations than Yidi. Du Kang liquor-making means that the raw material used in Du Kang liquor-making is sorghum. If Yidi or Du Kang are identified as the founders of wine, we can only say that Yidi is the founder of yellow rice wine.

2. Historically, Liu Ling and Li Bai were both called Brewmaster.

Liulingzui wine

On one occasion, he was so drunk that he asked his wife to take the wine. His wife cried and spilled the rest of the wine on the ground and broke the bottle. She advised him tearfully, "You drink too much. This is not the way to keep fit. Please be sure to quit! " Liu Ling replied, "Good! But I can't quit drinking myself.

You must swear out in front of the gods. I will trouble you to prepare wine and meat for God. "His wife, obey his command. So Liu Ling offered wine and meat to the altar and knelt down to tell him: "Born Liu Ling, named after wine; One glass of wine, one welcome, five games. Be careful not to listen to women. " Say that finish, took the wine and meat, and drunk.

Li Bai and wine, just as he and poetry, have never been separated. Wine seems to be his life, the material carrier of his feelings, and it is integrated into his poems and becomes the soul of his poems. Li Bai is not ambitious and often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang. He thinks that he is "rich in economic talents, resistant to nesting festivals, capable of changing customs and learning to study heaven and man". He hopes to gain the appreciation of the emperor by relying on his own talents.

The story of Yidi brewing mash;

Instead of being rewarded, Yidi was punished for making wine according to the order.

Yi Di, a Xia Dynasty man, is said to be the earliest brewer in China. "Warring States Policy Wei Ce" records: "In the past, the emperor's daughter ordered the righteous emperor to make wine beautiful and enter. I drank and drank. As the saying goes, "someone will kill the country with wine in the future." "Therefore, I will save my manners and give up my wine." Han Xu Shen also said the same thing in Shuo Wen Jie Zi Jiu Zhu.

In the past, women in Yu Xia would ask Yidi to make wine. After some efforts, Yidi brewed good wine and presented it to Yu Xia. He felt really good after drinking it. However, he said, "Kings of later generations will surely perish if they drink this wine." From then on, I alienated Yidi, and I broke off my relationship with wine.

"Laozi" is an "old jujube" made from glutinous rice fermentation. Soft and sweet, it is mostly produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Now many families still make their own mash. The mash is white and delicate, and the thick mash can be used as the staple food, and the clear juice on it is quite close to wine. "Zi" is another name for sorghum.
