Who created the wine?

The origin of wine -- Dukang made wine said Dukang "have rice is not exhausted, commissioned by the empty mulberry, depressed into flavor, long storage gas aroma, the original out of generation, not by the strange side." It is said that Dukang placed the uneaten leftovers in the tree holes of the mulberry garden, and after the leftovers fermented in the holes, there was an aromatic odor coming out. This is how wine is made, and there is no strange way of doing it. By a little life in the occasional opportunity as an opportunity to inspire the creation of the inspiration, which is very consistent with some of the laws of invention, this record in later generations, Dukang became very able to pay attention to the surrounding small things, and can start the creative inspiration of the inventor in a timely manner. Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty said in his musical composition: "What can relieve one's worries but Dukang". Since then, there seems to be more claims that wine was created by Du Kang. Dou Ping examined the origin and history of the surname "Du", that "the Du family originated from Liu, tired in the Shang for the ragweil family, King Wu sealed in Du, passed to Du Bo, for the King of Xuan killed, the descendants ran to the Jin, so there is Du, Shi will be and said that the subsequent also." By the time the Du surname reached Du Kang, it was already long after Yu, and in the ancient times, there was already a saying that "Yao wine was a thousand bells". If the wine was created by Du Kang, then who created the wine that Yao drank? Historically, Du Kang did exist. Ancient books such as "Shiben", "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", "Strategies of the Warring States", "Shuowen Jiezi" and so on, all have records of Du Kang, needless to say. In the Baishui County Record, which was rewritten in the 19th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty, Dukang has also been recorded in detail. Baishui County is located at the junction of the southern edge of the northern Shaanxi plateau and the Guanzhong Plain. Because of a river flowing through the county government of a white head of the bottom of the water and so named. Baishui County, the Department of "ancient Yongzhou city, weekend for the Peng play, the Spring and Autumn for the Peng Nga", "Han Jingdi built Suyi Nga County", "Tang built Baishui County in the present rule", can be said to have a long history. Baishui because of the so-called "four great sages" site and famous at home and abroad: one is rumored to be the Yellow Emperor's historian, the creation of the written word of the Cang Jie, was born in Yangwu Village in this county; one is the death of Leixiang, who was named the god of the earth of Pangnai, was good at making porcelain; one of China's "four great inventions," one of the inventor of paper Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I do not know the reason for the cause of the grave is also in the area; in addition, it is rumored to be the originator of brewing the ruins of the Dukang. A small county on the Loess Plateau, all of a sudden have Cangjie, Leixiang, Cai Lun, Du Kang, the four great sages of the site, the degree of prominence can be self-evident." Du Kang, with the character Zhong Ning, was rumored to be a native of Kang Jiawei in the county, and was good at making wine." Kang Jiawei is a small village that still exists today, seven or eight kilometers west of the county seat. There is a big ditch at the edge of the village, which is about ten kilometers long, more than one hundred meters wide at the widest point, and nearly one hundred meters deep at the deepest point, which is called "Dukang Ditch". The origin of the ditch has a spring, surrounded by green trees, grass and trees, the name "Dukang Spring". County records say, "According to popular legend, Du Kang took this water to make wine", "the townspeople say that this water still has a wine flavor". It is not true that there is a taste of wine, but it is a fact that the water is fresh and sweet. The clear water gushes out from the spring, flows along the bottom of the ditch, and finally joins the Baishui River, which is called the "Dukang River". Dukang spring next to the earth slope, there is a diameter of five or six meters of a large earth bag, to brick wall enclosure, legend has it that is Dukang buried skeleton place. Dukang Temple is on the left side of the grave, cut wall for the room, for Dukang statue. Unfortunately, the temple and the statue were destroyed in the "Ten Years of Havoc". According to the county records, in the past, the townspeople would bring offerings to this place every 21st day of the first month to offer sacrifices and organize "Saixiang" activities. This day is very lively, stage performances, vendors gathered, bustling, until the sunset people party fun and scattered. Nowadays, Dukang Tomb and Dukang Temple are under repair, Dukang Spring has built a pavilion. Pavilion is hexagonal, red columns and green tiles, colorful eaves, painted on the lintel of the "Du Kang drunken Liu Ling", "plum boiled wine heroes" story drawings. Although the birthplace of Du Kang are "rumors", but according to ancient workers in this area found the remnants of the brick broken tiles to determine that the business, the time, this place does have a building. The history of wine production here is also quite long. The great poet Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty in the Anshi Rebellion, had brought his family here according to his uncle Cui Shaofu, wrote "white water uncle house happy rain" and many other poems, poems have "today's drunken string song", "born to open the mulberry drop wine" and other records of drinking alcohol. Brewing experts also made tests on Dukang spring water, that the water quality is suitable for making wine. 1976, Baishui County people Dukang spring near the establishment of a modern brewery, named "Dukang Wine Factory", with the water of the spring brewing, the product name "Dukang Wine", was awarded the National Light Work Department of the National Wine Competition Bronze Cup Award. Coincidentally, Qing Daoguang eighteen years to repair the "Yiyang County Records" and Daoguang twenty years to repair the "Ruzhou Quanzhi", there have been about the site of Dukang records. "Yiyang County" in the "water" article, there is "Dushui River" a phrase, the interpretation of "popular rumors that Dukang made wine in this". Ruzhou Quanzhi said: "Dukang Ba", "in the city of fifty miles north" at the place. Today, there is a small village called "Dukang Xianzhuang", people say this is Dukang Ba." Ba", the original meaning is the cracking sound of stone, and Dukang Xianzhuang area of the soil is exactly the weathering of the mountain rocks. Many streams of fresh spring water gush out from the gap in the ground and flow into a small river that runs by the side of the village, which is said to be the Dushui River. It is interesting to note that in this section of the river in Pongchon, there is a small shrimp about one centimeter in length, which is rare elsewhere because it is yellow in color and curls up in the waist and walks horizontally. In addition, the eggs laid by ducks growing on this part of the river cover have reddish yolks that are much darker than those found elsewhere. Because the villagers here drink the water from this section of the river, there is no one who suffers from stomach problems. About ten kilometers north of Dukang Xianzhuang Yichuan County territory, there is a named "on the emperor of the ancient springs" of the spring, according to legend, is also Dukang took the water of the spring. Nowadays, in Yichuan County and Ruyang County, Dukang distilleries of considerable scale have been established respectively, and the products are all called Dukang wine. Yichuan's products, Ruyang's products together with Baishui's products, the annual output of more than 10,000 tons, which I'm afraid that Dukang could not imagine. There is also a record of Shaokang making wine in the historical books. ShaoKang means DuKang, but it is just a different name for a different era. So, where is the source of wine? Dupin that "I say the wise man made, the world after the world follow and can not be abolished," which is very reasonable. Working people over the years in the practice of labor, the accumulation of the method of manufacturing wine, after knowledge, visionary "wise man" summarized, future generations in accordance with the methods passed down from ancestor to ancestor to follow each other from generation to generation, passed down to the present. This statement is closer to the actual, but also in line with the epistemology of materialism.
