Legend has it that a farmer in ancient times (say Du Kang) was caught in the rain and could not bear to throw away the food in his family. Therefore, he was told by the gods to go to the village head and wait for (but not for Youshi) people. As long as he met three people, he asked each of them for a drop of blood and took it back and added it to the food, it would not be wasted.

Origin of 2. Wine

The above is just a legend, let's get down to business. In fact, the earliest wine is a natural product, the ancient working people in the long-term labor inadvertently found that food can be turned into wine. According to Shennong's Materia Herb, wine originated in ancient times and Shennong era.

Jiang Tong, a native of Jin, recorded in the "Wine Garage": "The place where wine flourished began to rise to the emperor... There was endless food, and there was no room for mulberry, which accumulated a taste and accumulated a long time. It was because of this, it was not a strange prescription." It shows that the cooked grains can be fermented into wine under certain natural conditions. People are inspired by this natural fermentation into wine, and gradually invented artificial wine making.

3. wine word source

1. People use jars to serve wine, so the earliest wine word is the pictogram of the wine jar-the word "you"

Unitary characters, pictographic and concierdent characters. Oracle bone inscriptions and gold characters are like wine jars. The word "unitary" is west below and one above. "West" means "West". In China's ancient culture, the West and "autumn" collocation. "Autumn" means "crops are ripe". Therefore, the "west" means "grain maturity", and its glyph is like a wine jar. "A" means "the contents of the wine jar".

2. Since the unitary word also indicates time (unitary time) and orientation (west), in order not to confuse, the word "unitary" plus three points of water later became the word "wine"

"Chinese Dictionary" says: Wine, Italian words, from water, from unitary (y ǐ u). The original meaning of "unitary" is wine. "Unitary" is also a word sound. The original meaning of wine: a beverage made of sorghum, barley, rice, grapes or other fruits fermented.
