Chinese New Year's Eve and talk about Chinese New Year wine culture

Nian is the word that can most affect Chinese emotions, and wine adds color to the New Year, and these two elements are intertwined to form a New Year wine culture
with Chinese characteristics.
Chinese New Year's Eve night, people who don't usually drink alcohol may also taste two sips; People who don't get drunk often on weekdays may also get drunk on him
.
"Cut candles to urge dry and eliminate night wine, pour out your money to buy spring money", "A bottle of wine is removed by the court, and the childish is comforting the screen".
.
.
Drinking New Year wine is not only a custom passed down from ancient times, but also carries the happiness of people's reunion with their families and the expectation
of auspicious health.

When did New Year wine rise

Chinese custom of "drinking New Year wine" has been passed down for more than 1,000 years
.

New Year wine and New Year almost accompany each other
.
In ancient oracle bone words, words such as "seeking the year", "receiving the year" and "receiving the year" have appeared, but the year at this time is only a synonym for time, referring to the cycle
of crop growth and harvest.

Although the New Year had not yet been given the meaning of the New Year's Festival, the New Year wine had already appeared
.
In the oracle bone text, there is "Xin Ugly Bu, in January Xin You Wine Landing?" December", the word "deng" here represents "dengtaste", which is the celebration
of the Shang Dynasty's New Year change.

Of course, what can better explain the long history of the Nian wine culture is the popular five-rhythm poem - "Zhengdan Meng Zhao King Zhao Wine Poem"
.
The first sentence of the poem points out the meaning of the New Year's wine, "Zhengdan repels evil wine, New Year's long life cup"; The second and third sentences are the type of New Year's wine, "The cypress leaves come with the inscription, and the pepper flowers come
one by one.
" Meteors comb down, floating ants to spring bloom" in "cypress wine" and "pepper wine" refer to the preparation wine obtained by soaking cypress leaves and pepper flowers, "meteors" and "floating ants" are similar to rice wine, the so-called "stars" or "ants" all represent rice dregs floating in the liquor; At the end, the allusion is used to highlight the emotions carried by the New Year wine, "Chengdu has put out the fire, when will the Shu envoy return" borrows the allusion of Luan Ba in "The Legend of the Immortals", revealing the thoughts
of the countryside.

Happiness is the key word of New Year wine culture

The ancients celebrated the New Year, why did they drink alcohol?

The oracle bone Huang group of the late Shang Dynasty recorded: "Chayu wine and he, Youyu step from Hou Xi to recruit people, up and down defeat to accept Yu Youyou?" The Rite of Zhou mentions: "If the kingdom sacrifices ghosts and gods, it is ordered to worship the people and drink alcohol
.
" "This kind of event that everyone has to participate in provides an opportunity
to get together.
Cui Yin's "Four Minyue Order" of the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded the process of the Han Dynasty family celebrating the New Year, "The day of the first month is the right day
.
" Bow down to your wives and children, and worship your
ancestors.
In the first three days, parents and deacons were all in unison
.
and worship the day, enter the wine and descend the gods; Bi is a family that is humble, no small or big, sitting in the second rank before the ancestors: son, wife, grandson, and great-great, each with pepper wine to his parents, and prosperous and prosperous
.
It can be seen that this scene is not much different from today's reunion banquet where families sit around and toast and drink on Chinese New Year's Eve night, which also shows that the happy scene of feeling "Xinxinruye" is the highlight of the New Year
.

This sentiment was continued, and the Jin Dynasty's "Records of Customs" recorded: "The New Year's Night Festival was completed first, and the elders and children gathered to drink and celebrate and disperse"; Tang Dynasty Lu Zhaolin "Yuan Ri Shuhuai" Yun: "People sing young years of wine, flower dance Tang Chun
.
" The grass is misty and the scenery is close to
the wind.
May it be like this, and the phenology is new every year", it is a beautiful scene of prosperity
.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the grandeur of the New Year gathering was even greater than in the previous dynasty
.
Shen Xuan's "Butterfly Love Flowers Chinese New Year's Eve" describes in detail the scene of Mingren's New Year's Eve, "Drinking in different years to help you get drunk, and closing the door and rejoicing
all night.
" The night of the year, the candle is listed, the glass of wine is a song", making people think, the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the candle flame is accessible, a glass of fine wine, a piece of song, closed door drinking, happy night, toast to the moon, only to disperse
.

New Year wine accompanies the happy moments of people's lives, so the key word of New Year wine culture is happiness
.

Brewing a glass of "Happy Wine"

Throughout the ages, the custom of Chinese drinking New Year wine has never changed, and every era has a New Year wine with the mark of the times, adding a bottle of prosperity to people's happy life
.

Nowadays, Gujing Gongjiu sings the voice of the times of New Year wine, whether it is the holding of the "China New Year Wine Forum" or the launch of "Chinese New Year's Eve" products, it strives to make the New Year wine culture more clear and accessible and integrated into the life
of Chinese people.
So, how does Gujing Gongjiu inherit the culture of New Year's wine?

First, the roasted wheat aroma type explores the taste of
the year.
"Say Wen Xie Zi" contains: "Nian, Gu Shuye"; The "Legend of Grain Liang" says: "All five grains are ripe for a year, and all five grains are ripe for a great year"
.
If the New Year has a taste, then it must be the mellow aroma of grain and grain, the flavor of New Year wine, that is, the aroma of grain and the taste of harvest
.

Gujing Gongjiu not only puts forward the concept of Chinese New Year wine, but also brews the flavor of Chinese New Year wine, the roasted wheat fragrant wine body named "Chinese New Year's Eve", filled with the grain aroma of wheat ripe grain, which is a special and familiar aroma of roasted wheat grains, especially because it is a "masterpiece" in the aroma of liquor, familiar because this is the beautiful aroma
of the ripening season of wheat ears that many people remember.

Furthermore, vintage puree respects the meaning of
the year.
If life is a ruler, then the scale of this ruler is the year
.
People and the ripening of wine must go through the precipitation of time, Gujing Gong Wine Vintage Original Pulp respects time, gives fine wine good quality with time, and adds color to every gathering with fine wine
.

Finally, Furui Gongjiu amplifies the happiness
of the year.
Since 2015, every year Chinese New Year's Eve night, Gujing Gongjiu has accompanied families through the Spring Festival Gala, listening to people's laughter and witnessing the passage of time and the change of years
.
If the Spring Festival Gala is a "big starter" in the ChineseChinese New Year's Eve meal, then Gujing Gongjiu is a glass of "happiness wine"
.

The verse of Hu Jing's "Chart of the Years and Dynasties" in the Qing Dynasty mentions a variety of New Year wines: "The Qing Zun will wine is full of age, cypress leaves are colored and pepper flowers are fragrant
.
" Tian Hao is more cunning, and the two cheeks of wine are Tu Su red
.
"Nowadays, if people write about New Year wine again, Gujing Gongjiu will also be one of them
