Osmanthus wine has been the most popular drink since ancient times, so let Lao Huangli introduce to you the custom of drinking osmanthus wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Our country is the hometown of osmanthus, which has a 2,500-year cultivation history in my country. As early as the pre-Qin ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is a record of "a swaggering mountain with many osmanthus on it". The ancients said: "The fragrance of osmanthus flowers in August." They also praised: "Although it does not shock the crowd with its beauty, it has a fragrance that overwhelms the nine autumns."

Since ancient times, people have regarded sweet-scented osmanthus as a symbol of wealth, good fortune, and prosperity. Naturally, the wine brewed from sweet-scented osmanthus is also very popular among people. Osmanthus wine has a very long history. As early as Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", there are sayings of "supporting Ji's fight and drinking osmanthus pulp" and "laying osmanthus and drinking pepper pulp".

In ancient my country, there was a custom of drinking osmanthus wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Osmanthus wine is made from the golden osmanthus that blooms in autumn as raw material, and is aged with high-quality rice wine. Every year in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it is the time when the fragrance of osmanthus blooms. The ancients chose the budding flowers and brewed them into wine. After the altar is sealed for three years, it becomes a fine wine and is drunk during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Osmanthus wine has a mellow aroma and amber color. It has an osmanthus aroma on the palate and is slightly sweet. Generally, the wine is clear, while the osmanthus wine is relatively viscous and unique. It is said in ancient times that the poet Li Bai drank osmanthus wine and wrote hundreds of poems. Therefore, literati of all ages loved to drink osmanthus wine. By the Qing Dynasty, drinking osmanthus wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival became an established custom. According to the "Records of Victory in the Imperial Capital" written by Pan Rongbi of the Qing Dynasty, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, people drank "Osmanthus East Wine" in "Shipin".

If you want to make osmanthus wine, it is best to use fresh osmanthus. You can place a plastic sheet under the osmanthus tree and collect the flowers after the wind blows. Of course, if you don’t have fresh osmanthus, you can also use the easy-to-preserve dried osmanthus to brew a wine with golden color, fragrant fragrance and outstanding osmanthus fragrance.

It should be noted that the osmanthus must be cleaned before use, and the container for soaking the osmanthus wine must also be kept very clean. After the osmanthus is put into the wine, it needs to be sealed and stored, and placed in a cool and ventilated place to soak slowly. Osmanthus wine that has been soaked for sufficient time is clear and transparent, pale golden in color, has a mellow taste, and has an elegant and fresh aroma. Drinking it is obviously helpful for beauty and skin elasticity.

The ancients believed that osmanthus is the best of hundreds of medicines, and drinking osmanthus wine can achieve the effect of "drinking it can extend your life to a thousand years." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Osmanthus fragrans is warm in nature and pungent in taste. When taken orally in decoction, tea or wine, it can resolve phlegm and dissipate blood stasis.
