The origin of the name "Hakka Niangjiu"?

The origin of the name "Hakka Niangjiu". The reason why it is called Niangjiu is probably because it is inseparable from Hakka women. While the ladies outside the mountains wrapped their little feet, sipping fragrant tea and singing to the moon, Hakka women stepped firmly on the field ridges with their big feet, plowing the ground, plowing the ground with a hoe, and carrying a hoe on their backs. Carrying children. In the evening, I lit up the kerosene lamp and rushed to do the work of women's dress, urging the children in school to memorize and write calligraphy. When I'm thirsty and tired, I just drink water and wine randomly, but I leave the sweet wine to the man who has been doing business and working abroad for many years. When the man came back, he took out the jar of old wine that he had carefully collected, carefully fried some delicious dishes, and urged the man to eat them while they were hot. Seeing her man's face flushed with excitement, and the woman's happiness written all over his face, the hardships of the past year, which have come and gone in the wind and rain, have long fallen into the man's belly along with the affectionate mother's wine.

Hakka people attach great importance to remembering their ancestors and missing their relatives - they must respect their ancestors on festivals, comfort their ancestors on happy events such as the birth of a child and going to school, and they must not forget to worship their ancestors at the beginning of the Spring Festival. However, Hakka people must use Niangjiu to honor their ancestors, and will never use liquor or beer as a substitute. The emotion involved is difficult for outsiders to understand. When worshiping ancestors, women will devoutly select the best wine at home and pour it for their ancestors, silently light three sticks of incense, tell their ancestors about their husbands and sons, and pray over and over again to their ancestors to bless their men to turn disasters into good fortune. , smooth and safe; my son is smart, academically motivated, and will go to high school. But I never pray for myself, and I don’t even complain about not being able to write the "Dragon Wen Zhu Wen" (an article used by the Hakka people when offering sacrifices, in which the names of the men are written one by one) when worshiping their ancestors. The contribution of the Hakka people is There was never a woman's name in the book.
