Shaoxing Huadiao wine, the most distinctive wine;
According to records, Yinshenbo carved wine originated from Dawenkou culture in Shandong province 6000 years ago, which represents the long history of Chinese wine culture. Among the carved wines in various places, the oldest brand is Shaoxing, Zhejiang. There are many kinds of Shaoxing wine, including Yuan red wine, yellow wine, dutiful son wine, Xiangxue wine and carved wine, among which carved wine is the most distinctive.
As early as the Song Dynasty, every family in Shaoxing would make wine. When a girl is born in every family, a number of jars will be selected on the day of the full moon, and people will be asked to carve and paint them for good luck (usually all kinds of flower patterns, birds and animals, landscape pavilions and so on). ) and then seal them in the mud. When the daughter grows up and becomes a monk, she will take out the aged wine from the cellar, and ask the painter to paint "various states" on the altar with oil paints, such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Dragon and Phoenix Coming Together" and "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon", and treat the guests with auspicious and full moon.
