Cheng Lang old wine, a little-known generation, was bred in the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, like wild flowers and weeds. Has its own unique inheritance, rooted in the fertile soil at the foot, pure grain brewing, the essence of all grains, leisurely; And the drinker can get drunk, suddenly wake up, feel refreshed and calm.
Chacheng Langzhe is a natural village in Liulintun, northeast of Luancheng. County annals once recorded that it should be a military fortress in the northeast of Luancheng County, and there is no shocking name. It means that the name of the village is the name of the wine, which may be impromptu or unknown. Therefore, if we want to talk about Cheng Lang wine, we should first test the soil and water of this side, as well as the customs and customs of Zhao Yan for thousands of years.
The last one? Luan Feng Gu Yiqing
Poetry cloud:
Taihang towering, blocking the west wind, the cold wave plummeted;
Surround Beijing and Hebei, read thousands of miles of green waves, a Ma Pingchuan;
The river is surging and the buildings are criss-crossing, northwest and southeast.
However, there is a storm, caressing all kinds of crops, and there is no danger;
Frost and snow red maple, see the bleak ridge, livestock fat warehouse full;
Firecrackers, new peaches, gratifying to see, family reunion.
What a land this is!

What a nice river! Originated in Wufeng Mountain at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, it trickles and gathers into a river, descending from the southeast, crossing deer, rushing to Luancheng, descending to Zhao County and entering Ningjin, forming a lake and a vast plain, each with its own scenery. In spring, summer and autumn, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected, and fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs have everything. It's also shipping, and sometimes there are white sails. There are even more fishing songs singing together, chickens and dogs hearing each other, children playing, full of pastoral prosperity, quiet and peaceful.
What a land this is! For thousands of years, the Weihe River has been from northwest to southeast, with scorching sun, rain, snow and wind frost; The boulders in Taihang Mountain burst and fell, and entered the river with the rainstorm, tumbling and colliding, becoming pebbles, dust and scouring accumulation; Or there may be fertile soil on the loess plateau floating in the wind for nine days, majestic, all the way southeast, falling with the breeze and dusk rain, freezing frost everywhere, hiding branches with the morning dew; After countless spring, summer, autumn and winter, this fertile land has been created!
"From Beijing to Nanjing, the number of small counties is Luancheng". Old people with good hearts and good eyes use such proverbs to warn the younger generations from generation to generation. Yes, Luancheng is not a battleground for military strategists, and there are not many wonderful waves and legends in the rolling historical process; It is not a port terminal or a land transportation hub. There are no bustling business trips, no adjacent shops, and no exotic goods gathered in all corners of the country.
Yes, this land is so calm and ordinary. You see, in this land, the east wind rustled all night, followed by the spring rain, and then the strong seedlings, like soldiers who obeyed orders, flourished this land in the shortest time, dotted with villages, countless trees, willow green peach powder, pear apricot powder, and then like a huge green torch, full of passion and vitality in the golden sunshine.
There are clansmen in the Dragon Boat Festival, and thousands of families are busy. The sun scorched the earth. The wheat waves are rolling in the fields, and the air is filled with the special fragrance belonging to wheat. After the ear sacrifice, like a silent command, thousands of families have devoted themselves to the busy summer. Men and women, old and young, race against time, and all the fruits of hard work, with crystal sweat, sweaty muscles and sharp sickles, will be collected into the granary at home!
The golden wind is cool, and the mid-autumn moon is bright. At this time, there may be literati chanting poems, inviting the bright moon and looking for red maple. More are hardworking farmers, or harvest fiery sorghum, golden soybeans and millet in Huang Chengcheng. At that time, there were busy figures everywhere, and the roof of every household's yard was full of harvest, which was the fruit of hard work! There are also fruit trees, apples, pears, persimmons, red dates, walnuts and so on. In front of the house and behind it, the fruit is overflowing. With the autumn wind swaying, it seems to be a show off. We should convey this bumper harvest message to thousands of families and declare that the world is so rich and happy!
Everything blows in the west wind all night, and snowflakes dance for nine days. Yes, winter is coming. Wodong is a characteristic of ancient farming culture. Here, because the land is fertile and rich in products, wealthy families have a special job, brewing wine. Yes, it is the wine created by the ancestors of the Chinese nation in labor, this great invention.
Next? Ancient Luan wine has a deep rhyme.
What a magical liquid wine it was in ancient times! Royal family, nobles, princes and emperors, toast! Even, it is a necessity for all major ceremonies! Don't you see, it's a well-dressed hole, and it's also the post of Long song, Gaotan, who specializes in wine offering! Have you noticed that Huo Qubing marched through the desert with more than 800 yuan, sealed the wolf in a professional place, and the Hanwu emperor poured it into the spring water, and the whole army drank it up, making it Jiuquan today! Have you noticed, Zhuo Wenjun fell in love at first sight and sold wine after eloping, which not only made a love legend, but also Sima Xiangru's Zi Xu Fu and Shang Fulin, which were once expensive in Luoyang! Have you noticed that Wei Wudi and Cao Mengde raised their glasses and shouted "a short Song Ci"? Why can only Du Kang relieve their worries and then unify the North? Have you noticed that Li Taibai got drunk all over the world and became a famous poem with 300 poems! Don't you see, the "three officials" and "three parting" are worried about the country and hate, and Du Fu sings and drinks wildly! Have you not seen Lu Fangweng on Tiema Glacier, Xin Jiaxuan on the battlefield in autumn, and the lay man on Dongpo in the sky asking for wine? ...
I would like to ask, without the embellishment of wine, how can China inherit for five thousand years, and how can it have radiant saints, shining stars, literati, and their vast poems and songs, and a hundred schools of thought contend? ...
The world is full of people. Chun Xue is in high school, taking charge of Wan Li, leading the historical trend. Under the blue sky, on the yellow land, on the rivers and lakes and by the sea, countless hardworking and simple Xialiba people also have their own happiness. For example, on the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and Luancheng, an ancient land, rural farming villages that have been self-sufficient for generations are full of wine every time they are idle.
The wine here doesn't have so many historical allusions, and it seems that there are no fairy tales. Not so many celebrities write biographies. What we can have is kindness and simplicity from generation to generation. We planted grain on this fertile soil, irrigated it with the sweet water of Weihe River, and then brought home millet, wheat, soybean sorghum, etc. for three summer and autumn harvests. Besides our own consumption, we can brew pure grain wine to entertain guests from afar, celebrate weddings and funerals and other folk auspicious days, relax muscles and dispel cold and dampness.
In this vigorous and mellow land, there is a unique wine culture. That's drinking boxing! Similar to the game of drinking order in the classic Dream of Red Mansions. The twelve women in the red chamber are all brilliant, so they have poems and songs, which are warm and beautiful and eloquent. The farming village here is literate even if it can write its own name, so the tall one is definitely gone. But the north is generous and enthusiastic, and there is no game of drinking.
Weddings, funerals, festivals, temple fairs and entertaining guests and friends are everywhere in this simple local custom. Perhaps the dishes are not necessarily rich, just peanuts and some vegetables produced by ourselves, and bacon is also good. There must be fresh meat in the winter festival. It may be in the shade in summer, it may be at the door, or it may be in a low bungalow with heavy snow and burning fire. In short, when everyone takes their seats in turn, the first rule of opening a seat is to raise a glass together for three times. Let's raise our glasses! This is what is often said in storytelling! Then there is a circle, that is, starting from a certain person, I will propose a toast to all the people present in turn counterclockwise or clockwise, and everyone will have a drink. This is a perfect circle. At this time, the wine is overflowing, and many people are flushed, and the atmosphere will become warm, unrestrained and generous. I never realized that from strangeness to familiarity to brotherhood, it was only because the glass was held high and then gulped down! Then, as a leader on the wine table, the most common and handy thing is to spell wine and brains. A unique wine boxing is popular in Luancheng area, and some people call it slow boxing. The process is as follows: two people face to face, everyone punches with one hand, and at the same time reads "Mantang Brothers" (or "Mantang Men", depending on the seniority of both sides), indicating that everyone present is rich, full and auspicious. Next, I started from the "full house" and began to draw fists. The so-called fencing is the sum of two people's fingers and the number shouted for one of them. If not, they will keep shouting. There are eleven numbers from zero to ten. Every number has a nickname. Zero, called full insurance, can also be called full insurance; First, shout exclusive or unique; Second, call it two brothers, or two brothers; Third, call it Taoyuan (the meaning of Taoyuan Sanjieyi); Fourth, call it Si Er, or Four Seasons Wealth; Fifth, shout five champions, or five champions; Sixth, call it Liushun, or 666, or straight; Seven, shout into seven, or seven clever, or seven clever; Eight, shout eight, or eight horses; Nine, shout into nine, or almost nine (meaning almost ten); Ten, call it all, or all.
Boxing is a technical activity, which requires quick thinking, convenient eyes and quick response. At the moment of punching, you can quickly judge whether the sum of two people's fingers is the number shouted by yourself or by others. You must rely on this to distinguish between winning and losing. Drinking is a small matter, but face is a big thing. Be a man, can you let the other person say that he can't? Therefore, we must overwhelm each other in voice and momentum, just like two tit-for-tat cocks, screaming at the top of their lungs, staring, the veins standing out on their necks suddenly and violently, and waving their fists. With the number shouted out, the fist stretched out its finger and the winner was decided instantly. Or they are both wrong. Let's have the next duel at once! At that time, the lively atmosphere in the room reached its peak, and the roof was about to be lifted. People next to you may be watching the battle, or raising a glass with familiar brothers and pushing a cup for a change. The boldness and enthusiasm between men is on this wine table. After being ignited by alcohol lubrication, it surged to the extreme. This moment!
Postscript:
From ancient times to the present, from the county annals to the people, from the gentry to the villagers, the wine on this land has been passed down from generation to generation, perhaps from Luan Wuzi's family, perhaps from the solemnity of Chai Wujia's sacrifice. More importantly, it is the experience summarized and sublimated by generations of working people in the brewing process year after year, and better and better grain wine can be passed down and developed in the ancient land of Lu' an.
I remember that there is a record of sheep wine in the County Records, which originated from the evolution of this ancient inheritance. Later, the ancient Luanchun, the modern taste of Fu wine, was developed in the ancient brewing technology!
This fertile land, as well as this river, rich food and good folk customs, gather in this land of China, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and southeast of Shijiazhuang. Home fax brewing, genuine and sincere, takes "health" as the concept of the new era, inherits and carries forward the humanistic heritage of the ancient Luanhe River, and comes into being on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the reform and opening up of the Chinese nation. With its majestic backbone and lofty sentiments as its wings, it makes friends from all corners of the country and enjoys a happy life together!
Therefore, this is an old Cheng Lang wine from a previous life!
