The history of tasting wine?
Kouzi Liquor is a star among many liquors in China. It is famous for its unique style, such as "clear as jade dew, rich in fragrance, better than Lange", which makes it refreshing and lasting in taste. In history, it is famous for its three thousand miles north of Hebei and its taste is the first in the south of the Yangtze River. The brewing history of Kouzi wine has a long history. As far away as 15 (AD 697) in Lu Huangong during the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Xianggong had repeatedly donated blood to princes and drank local wine. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, Kouzi wine was produced in large quantities. Huaibei City is a famous wine town at home and abroad, and it is known as the Kouzi wine with the reputation of "a thousand drunkards next door, ten fragrances open the altar", which is famous all over the world. Our city has a long history of wine. As early as Shang Dynasty, there was not only wine here, but also the custom of worshipping ancestors with wine. During the Spring and Autumn Period 15 (697 BC), the monarchs of Song, Lu, Chen and Wei took drinking blood as their alliance in the suburbs of Xiangcheng, and the wine they drank was Tanxi wine. During the Warring States period, the development of transportation promoted the development of wine-making industry. Han Feizi, a thinker at the end of the Warring States Period, wrote down the butter wine of the Song Dynasty when he traveled here. This is the earliest record of hotels in ancient books in China, indicating that local wine-making and drinking were very common at that time. After the Han Dynasty, Suixi brewing industry continued to develop in Wei, Jin, Tang, Song, Jin and the first year, and it had a certain scale. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were 10 wineries. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, it increased to more than 30. 1904 the opening of jinpu railway has created conditions for the export of Suixi liquor, and the brewing industry has developed rapidly, with 72 wineries vying for the top spot. In the early years of the Republic of China, the local wine production doubled and the market was broad. From 1930s to before liberation, most wineries closed down due to frequent wars, inflation and extortion by rulers.
