Jingyanggang is famous in the world for successfully describing the story of Song Wu's killing tigers in the classic Chinese literature "Water Margin" and "Jin Ping Mei".
According to historical records and research by experts and scholars, Jingyanggang belongs to Zhangqiu Town, yanggu county.
Jingyanggang, located in the west of Qilu in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, is an important area where the Chinese nation originated.
During the period of 1996, archaeologists successfully excavated the site of the ancient city of Longshan culture 4,500 years ago in Jingyanggang. The ancient city covers an area of 350,000 square meters, almost completely overlapping with Jingyanggang described in Water Margin. Not only are the city walls clearly visible, but there are also stylobates and tombs in the city. There are many wine vessels made of pottery and black pottery among the unearthed cultural relics. A city of this scale is located here, which shows that the economy and culture were prosperous and drinking was prevalent at that time.
It is also credible that more than 60 breaches of the Yellow River and wars and wars in previous dynasties have flooded the prosperous cities all the year round, turning them into Jingyanggang with lush vegetation and wild animals. The inscription "Fighting Tigers in Song Dynasty" still standing on the stone tablet of Song Dynasty in Jingyanggang is conclusive evidence.
Cao Zhi, a poet of Wei Dynasty, was once sealed in Yushan, 20 kilometers east of Jingyanggang, hunting, drinking and writing poems, leaving a lot of excellent works of singing wine.
As for the unprecedented economic and cultural prosperity in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there are more than 70 wineries in Zhangqiu Town where Jingyanggang is located. It is also reasonable for Song Wu to drink such good wine as "through the bottle" through this place.
In Water Margin, the life story of Jang Jin and Li Kui jy is now a town in yanggu county. Liangshan Mountain in Shui Bo is in the south, belonging to Shouzhang territory from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty. There is a poem in Shouzhang County Records describing the folk drinking in this area: "The north wind blows Yushu all day long, and even the flowers fall into the cold fog." Books in the south are pillows, and wine in the north is tea. "The wind of binge drinking is like water margin.
Two classic literary works, a powerful hero fighting tigers, created a unique Jingyang Gangjiu culture. Jingyanggang wine originated from Water Margin and became Jin Ping Mei.
Up and down for thousands of years, 80 thousand miles vertically and horizontally. There are many things in the world, and wine culture changes a lot. Jingyanggang wine culture is not only different from the hongmen banquet with hidden dangers, but also different from Cao Zhi's theory of cooking wine heroes. It is also different from the literary expression of wine in "Hundred Fighting Wine Poems", and it is also different from the promotion of friends and alliances. It is not only different from the banquet to celebrate success, but also different from the etiquette of welcoming-Jingyanggang wine culture is a truly heroic and fearless wine culture, full of human touch. Be free, drink freely, speak freely, and be an upright person. In the face of fierce tigers, you can fight hard and go forward with the help of wine. Jingyanggang wine culture is a wine culture that gives people a sense of masculinity and justice, gives people confidence and courage, and best embodies the value of life.
