The allusions and origins of wine!

Du died in Baishui, which is the pride of Baishui people. Du Kang's wine has produced simple customs and ancient white water culture. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, there were thousands of boiled pots and four wineries. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao sang the eternal swan song "Bold and unforgettable, how to solve the worries, only Du Kang": Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote beautiful poems "Late at night, the moonlight shines on Baishui Mountain" and "Du Jiu often remonstrates"; Pi Rixiu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, also sang the quatrains louder, and the Du Kang language is empty, so the fragrant Du Kang wine spread all over the Loess Plateau.

Some people say that he is a minister under the Yellow Emperor. After the Yellow Emperor established the tribal alliance, Shennong began to cultivate land and grow grain after tasting a hundred herbs and distinguishing grains. The Yellow Emperor ordered Du Kang to manage grain production, and Du Kang was very responsible. Due to the fertile land and pleasant climate, there is a bumper harvest every year, and the grain output is increasing. At that time, because there was no warehouse and no scientific storage method, Du Kang piled the harvested grain in the cave. After a long time, due to the humidity in the cave, the food is moldy. The Yellow Emperor was very angry when he learned about it. He ordered Du Kang to be removed from his post and only let him keep the food. He also said that if the grain was moldy in the future, Du Kang would be executed.

Du Kang, the minister in charge of grain production, was suddenly reduced to storing grain, and he was very sad. But he also believes that Lei Zu, Hou Feng, Cang Xie and other officials have made great contributions to inventions, but they have made no contribution and committed crimes. At this thought, all his anger disappeared, and he secretly made up his mind to keep the food well. One day, Du Kang found an open field in the forest, and several surrounding trees died, leaving only the thick trunk. The suitcase is empty. Du Kang had a brainwave. He thinks that if the grain is put in a hole in the tree, it may not go bad. So he hollowed out all the dead trees in the forest. A few days later, all the grain was put into the tree hole.

Who knows, two years later, the grain in the tree hole was slowly fermented by the wind, the sun and the rain. One day, when Du Kang went up the mountain to check the grain, he suddenly found some goats, wild boar and rabbits lying around a dead tree with grain on it. At first, he thought that all these wild animals were dead. When he approached, he found that they were still alive, and they all seemed to be sleeping. Du Kang couldn't figure out what the reason was and wondered when the wild boar woke up. As soon as it saw someone coming, it ran into the Woods. Then a goat and a rabbit woke up and ran away. Du Kang didn't bring a bow and arrow when he went up the mountain, so he didn't catch up. He was about to go back when he suddenly found two goats licking something in front of a tree hole full of food. Du Kang hurriedly hid behind a big tree to observe, only to see two goats licking for a while, and then staggered up and lying on the ground after a while. Du Kang quickly ran to tie up two goats, and then carefully checked with his tongue what the goats had just licked in the tree hole. You can take a look without looking, but Du Kang got a fright.

The hole in the tree used to hold grain cracked a crack, and the water inside kept oozing out. Goats, wild boar and rabbits fell to the ground after licking the water. Du Kang sniffed it with his nose, and the seeping water was very fragrant, so he couldn't help tasting it. Although it tastes a little spicy, it is particularly mellow. The more he tasted it, the more he wanted to taste it, and finally he took a few sips. This glass of wine doesn't matter. For a moment, I just felt very dizzy. Just two steps forward, I fell to the ground and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took. When he woke up, he saw that one of the two goats had run away and the other was struggling. He turned over, feeling full of energy and energy, and accidentally trampled the struggling goat to death. He conveniently took off the pointed jar at his waist and filled half the jar with this perfume seeping from the tree hole.

When he came back, Du Kang told other food keepers what he had seen, and let everyone taste the perfume he brought back. Everyone thinks it's strange. Some people suggested that the matter should be reported to the Yellow Emperor as soon as possible, but others disagreed, on the grounds that Du Kang was demoted for spoiling food in the past, and now he has put food into a tree hole and turned it into water. If the Yellow Emperor knew about it and didn't kill his head, he would kill Du Kang. Hearing this, Du Kang said to everyone unhurriedly: "Now, no matter whether it is good or bad, it can't hide from the Yellow Emperor." With that, he lifted the pointed bottom jar and went to the Yellow Emperor.

After listening to Du Kang's report, the Yellow Emperor carefully tasted the perfume he brought, and immediately discussed the matter with his ministers. Ministers agreed that this is a living food, not poisonous water. The Yellow Emperor did not blame Du Kang, but ordered him to continue to observe carefully and ponder the truth. He also ordered Cang Xie to give this perfume a name. Cang Xie said casually: "This water is fragrant and mellow, and it will make you drunk." After that, he made a word "wine". Both the Yellow Emperor and the ministers thought it was a good name.

Since then, China ancient wine industry began to appear. In memory of Du Kang, later generations regarded him as the ancestor of brewing.

Brewing, Du Kang, a member of Baishui Kangjiawei, was first created in Xia Dynasty, and is called Dukang wine. From generation to generation, the folk brewing industry flourished. In ancient times, Du Kang's wine-making address was in Du Kang ditch, 7 kilometers northwest of the county seat. Take grass as seasoning and draw spring water. Du Kang was buried near the original brewing site after his death, and the tomb is still there. Adukang Temple was built behind the tomb, and a stone tablet was erected to worship, commemorate and celebrate Du Kang, the father of Du Kang brewing.

Du Kang's brewing water is Du Kang spring in Du Kang ditch. "liangzhi" contains: The spring sprays slightly until winter, and flows four miles into Baishui River. The villagers said that the water smelled of wine. "Du Kangquan water has been tested and identified by Shaanxi Provincial Light Industry Bureau and county epidemic prevention station; Water solubility, low hardness, less calcium, easy precipitation, suitable for brewing. Water quality determines the quality of wine, and Du Kang spring water is a prerequisite for Dukang wine to become a fine wine. Dukang wine has a good reputation in ancient times and has been passed down from generation to generation. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's poem "Short Songs" said: Du Kang alone can solve the worries. Later poets also used Du Kang to praise wine.
