The main reason is that China is an agricultural empire, and the liquor at that time was mostly grain wine. Almost all the liquor in China is brewed from grain. Liquor is closely linked with agriculture and has become a part of agricultural economy. Grain output is a barometer of the rise and fall of the wine industry. According to the grain harvest, the rulers of various dynasties regulated the production of wine by issuing bans or opening bans, thus ensuring the people's food. Moreover, since 1982, the earliest wine-making utensils and ritual vessels have been discovered in China, and the origin of Chinese wine culture and its 6000-year-old inheritance history have been proved by archaeology.
China's wine culture, since there is wine, eating is not just eating. Wine is an objective substance in the world. It can be said that it is a changeable elf walking in the human brain. It is as hot as fire and sometimes as cold as ice. It is lingering like a dream, vicious as a demon, soft as brocade and sharp as a steel knife; It is ubiquitous and powerful. Admirable and should be killed. It can make people transcend broadmindedness, brilliance and debauchery; It can make people forget the pain, sadness and troubles in the world and soar in absolute freedom; It can also make people recklessly and bravely sink to the bottom of the abyss, make people throw away their masks, reveal their true colors and tell the truth.
Moreover, since ancient times, most of the social activities of the ancients were built on the wine table. This way of maintaining social relations has been handed down. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "nothing can be done without wine". Therefore, from ancient times to the present, as long as it is a social dinner in China, liquor is essential, and the entertainment guests push the cup for a change to promote investment business; Diners exchange feelings between shallow drinks and elegant drinks; A person drinks alone to vent his emotions; Many people drink * * * to close the distance, so drinking can promote the feelings between people.
Wine culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of China people, especially men. Because whether it is from the social wine bureau or adding fun when eating, these are inseparable from liquor.
