Haha, it’s you again, I found another one for you, I hope it will be helpful to you

Dukang Wine, the hometown of Dukang, adds a new flavor to the ancient famous wine.

In Baishui County, Shaanxi Province, the sacred hometown of Cangjie, the historian of the Yellow Emperor, the originator of Chinese characters, and Du Kang, the founder of winemaking, today, a magical and unique "brewery wine" with a brewing history of more than 3,000 years and which has been lost for nearly two centuries has been unearthed. Dukang Fine Wine, one of the "Eight Treasures of the Royal Family".

In the history of ancient civilization in my country, the culture of wine is extremely glorious. Known as the "father" of the wine industry, Dukang Wine is a famous historical wine in my country and a precious heritage of the Chinese nation. The wine is named after the founder of wine, Dukang. For thousands of years, Dukang wine has been widely circulated and famous, and its praises can be found in historical records. Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, left an eternal masterpiece in "Dan Ge Xing": "Generosity should be shown in generosity, and beautiful thoughts will be unforgettable; how can one relieve worries? Only Du Kang". It can be seen that Dukang wine has a long history. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, it was well-known in both the government and the public, and was well-known throughout China. The true meaning is: Crowning the wine soul of our nation, monopolizing the spring in the world!

According to historical data and archeology, Dukang wine was indeed brewed in Baishui County, Shaanxi. The former site of Dukang Liquor Making Workshop is in Kangjiawei Village, Dayang Township, Baishui County, Shaanxi Province. Surrounded by three mountains, the village has beautiful scenery and evergreen pines and cypresses. There is a large ditch nearby with crystal clear water. Because Dukang made wine by the ditch, it was named Dukang ditch. There is a clear spring at the bottom of the ditch, and the spring water gushes upward from the ground. According to the "Baishui County Chronicle" of the Qing Dynasty: "The spring gushes out faintly, and it does not dry up until winter. It flows for about four miles and enters the Baishui River. The villagers say that the water still smells like wine." It is also recorded: "Dukang used this water to make wine. ", known as Du Kangquan. Tests conducted by relevant scientific research departments have shown that the water is neutral, has low hardness, less calcium, few impurities, a large specific content, high carbonate content, and is clear and easy to precipitate. The raw water tastes sweet and refreshing, and it is indeed the best spring water for wine making. Use this water to make wine, which is particularly smooth and fragrant. A long time ago, people built Dukang Temple next to Dukang Spring. It was renovated again in the 48th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1709). "On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month every year, villagers, men, women, old and young, go to the temple to worship and cook." Now an antique pavilion has been built above the spring, and the gurgling water flows through the bottom of the pavilion. At that time, Dukang drew the sweet and pure spring water here and carefully brewed it. People drank it, which moistened the throat and promoted body fluids, dispelled cold and promoted blood circulation, strengthened the spleen and stomach, invigorated the spirit, and prolonged life. Therefore, it became famous day by day.

It is said that Du Kang used a strange method to make fragrant mash here and presented it to the Emperor of Zhou. After the emperor drank it, he felt refreshed and fed, and he was extremely happy, so he named Du Kang the "Jiu Xian". Since then, for thousands of years, people have been respecting Dukang as the originator of wine making, and built Dukang temples in various places to worship "Dukang God". Until the founding of New China, famous wine workshops such as Kweichow Moutai, Shanxi Fenjiu, and Shaanxi Xifeng still followed this custom.

Dukang is the "ancestor of winemaking" in ancient Chinese legends. Du Kang, courtesy name Zhongning, was born in the Zhou Dynasty in Kangjiawei, Baishui County, Shaanxi Province, and was buried here. According to the "Baishui County Chronicles" recorded during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: "Dukang, whose courtesy name was Zhongning, was a member of the Kang family in the county and was good at making wine." It also recorded: "Dukang's tomb is located fifteen miles west of the county. There is a trough on the side of the tomb, which is quite large. "The location of Du Kang's tomb is also marked on the county annals. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Dukang Temple was built in Dukang Valley. The inscription on the "Creation and Construction of Du Gong Temple" established in the 48th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty reads: "Du Gong taboo Kang, whose courtesy name was Zhongning, was born in Kang Jiawei, a county. He built a temple and tomb there. He has studied history and is good at making wine." In addition, in recent years, the temple has been built. Four more stone tablets were discovered in the county, all of which also recorded Dukang's life experience and wine-making achievements. As for Dukang's winemaking, ancient books such as "Shiben", "Lu Shi Chunqiu", "History of Wine", "Jiu Hao", "Jiu Jing", "Warring States Policy", "Shi Yuan", and "Dictionary of Chinese Names" "" and other books all mentioned Dukang's wine making. According to historical records, Du Kang once served as "Mu Zheng". Once, "the remaining porridge was abandoned in the mulberry tree cave". "We arrived again and smelled something strange," and found that it was the aroma that overflowed from the fermented rice in the mulberry tree cave. "Dukang tasted it and it was sweet, and he learned the secret of winemaking." From then on, Du Kang made winemaking his career. "Shiben" of the Han Dynasty records: "Yi Di first made wine mash, which changed to five flavors, and Shaokang (Dukang) made rice wine." Xu Shen's "Shuowen" of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "In ancient times, Yi Di made wine mash, and Yu Tasted it, I ordered Du Kang to make rice wine. "Zhang Hua of Jin Dynasty said in "Natural History" that "Dukang was good at making wine." "History of Wine" said: "Dukang started to make rice wine." "Preface to the Collection of Wine Poems" says: "Yidi made wine, and Du Kang polished it." Tang Pi Rixiu's "Poems on the Wine Bed" said: "There is a continuous sound of dripping, but it is empty to doubt what Du Kang said.

Du Fu, a poet saint of the Tang Dynasty, took his family to Baishui to seek refuge with his uncle Cui Shaofu during the An-Shi Rebellion. He wrote many poems such as "Happy Rain at the Old House in Baishui", including the good line: "Du Kang worked hard to persuade, but Zhang Li only asked for help." Su Dongpo's "Poetry for Stopping Drinking" said: "From now on, there will be no memorial ceremony for Du Kang in Dongpo's house. " Shi Nianhai, a famous historical geographer in my country, visited Baishui County for on-site inspection and wrote an inscription for Dukang Winery in Baishui County: "Holy Land of Dukang". For thousands of years, Dukang has been respected by future generations as the "originator of winemaking" and is well-known among the people. .

Dukang wine became famous, and there is an interesting anecdote: "It is said that Du Kang opened a hotel in Kangjiawei, Baishui. Liu Ling, a famous scholar among the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was famous for his drinking. One day, Liu Ling passed by here and saw a couplet posted on the door of the hotel: "A tiger gets drunk with a cup of wine in the mountains, and a dragon sleeps with two cups of wine at the bottom of the sea." Hengpi: "If you don't get drunk for three years, you won't get any money." Liu Ling looked at it and couldn't help laughing. She thought to herself, as a well-known wine master, I have never tasted any wine, and I have never seen such praise from Haikou. Let me drink all your wine and see if you still dare to be crazy? Then, Liu Ling entered the hotel, and Du Kang toasted. Unexpectedly, after three drinks, Liu Ling felt dizzy and drunk. She stumbled home and stayed drunk for three years. Three years later, Du Kang went to Liu Ling's house and asked for wine money. Family members said Liu Ling had been dead for three years. Liu Ling's wife was angry and resentful when she heard that Du Kang came to ask for money for the drink. She stepped forward and grabbed Du Kang, crying and wanting to file a life lawsuit with Du Kang. Du Kang said with a smile: "Liu Ling is not dead, he is drunk." When they arrived at the cemetery, they opened the coffin and saw that Liu Ling's drunkenness had disappeared and he slowly woke up. He opened his sleepy eyes, stretched out his arms, yawned loudly, blew out a fragrant aroma of wine, and said proudly: "Good wine, so fragrant!" This is the popular saying "Dukang made wine and Liu Ling was drunk". "story. To this day, on the other side of Du Kang's tomb in Kangjiawei Village, Dayang Township, Baishui County, across a small stream, is Liu Ling's tomb, built of stone. The book "Dukang Makes Wine to Drunk Liu Ling" which has been passed down from ancient times writes: "Dukang has the best wine in the world, and Liu Ling has the greatest capacity for wine... After drinking three cups of Dukang's wine, Liu Ling was drunk for three years." Of course, this is Exaggerated folklore. But Dukang Liquor does have the reputation of "the wine is fragrant ten miles away and drunk three times next door."
