Why does Shaoxing produce beautiful women?
The famous Shaoxing "Huadiao wine" is also called "Daughter wine". People in Shangyu, China, recorded in "Southern Vegetation": "Daughter wine is necessary for a rich family to have a daughter and marry a daughter in the old society." Speaking of this name, there is another story! Legend has it that long ago, in Dongguan, Shaoxing, there was a member who longed for an heir, but his wife was infertile for a long time. The members searched everywhere and finally got the remedy. The wife was pregnant. Members were very happy and specially brewed more than 20 jars of yellow rice wine to celebrate. Winter goes and spring comes, pregnant in October, a wife gives birth to a daughter, and a full moon will come in a few days. According to the local custom, the staff will arrange a sumptuous banquet for the guests who have shaved their heads. After the banquet was over, the members saw that several jars of good wine had not been unsealed, and it was a pity to abandon them, so they buried the wine under the osmanthus tree in the garden. Time flies, time flies, 18 years has passed in a blink of an eye, and my daughter has grown up, and her face is gorgeous, which can be described as sinking fish and falling geese. My fair lady is a gentleman, and there is an endless stream of people proposing marriage through matchmakers. My father was very careful and promised to marry the son of a benefactor. Soon, the wedding day arrived. At the wedding banquet, the old members celebrated and drank with the guests, but the money for the drinks was still used up. When the old committee member was frowning, he suddenly remembered the 18-year-old good wine buried under the osmanthus tree. It was he who ordered people to dig up the old wine and entertain the guests. When the jar was unearthed, it was placed in the banquet hall, and the mud head was removed, and the fragrance suddenly came to my face and penetrated into my heart. Everyone rushed to taste the drinks, all glittering and resplendent. Since then, it has become a custom for the next-door neighbors and people from far and near to give birth to their daughters and bury them in wine. When they marry their daughters, they dig for wine and treat them. Thousands of years later, the ancient Shaoxing area gradually formed the custom of "making daughter wine when giving birth to a daughter, and drinking daughter red when marrying a daughter". Later, even a boy was born, and he made wine and buried wine as planned, hoping that his son would win the first prize to celebrate drinking. Therefore, this wine is also called "Zhuangyuan Red". "Daughter Red" and "Zhuangyuanhong" are old wines that have been stored for a long time. This kind of wine is fragrant and delicious, and people give it as a valuable gift.
