It's just the root of liquor, which has nothing to do with the ancient "wine stories" that we often hear, such as "Guan Yunchang killed Hua Xiong with warm wine" and "WuErlang killed the tiger with drinking". What he drinks should not be regarded as wine.
Even few people know that the origin of liquor is actually closely related to Taoism, and the key point of this connection is that the founder who once worked together "realized a real man"!
The so-called enlightened man was actually sealed by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty. This Taoist named Xiao Baozhen was born in the Song Dynasty. He was deeply fascinated by Huang Lao's tactics and learned something. At first, he just preached in his hometown, while teaching Taoism, while using "magic dew" to help the people, cure stubborn diseases, and go to Eritrea to pray.
Later, a new school of Taoism, Taiyi Daoism, was founded to worship Taiyi God and spread the "Taiyi ternary method". This technique of "Taiyi ternary method" is also based on praying for abstinence, treating diseases and exorcising evil spirits. Near Shitian Road. Finally, it merged into the mainstream of Taoism in the world at that time-Quanzhen religion.
But the key point is that China's medical books come down in one continuous line, and Xiao Baozhen himself is a skilled doctor. The reason why his "spirit of showing Taoism" is widely spread depends largely on his superb medical skills.
But this kind of medical skill has created the history of liquor by mistake. What's going on here? Let's have a look.
At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, wars were frequent and people lived in poverty. Therefore, medical skill determines that fame can spread quickly, just like Xiao Baozhen, but it is not easy to spread. Why?
Because he didn't have a certificate, the construction of temples and Taoist temples at that time was based on the "quota" specially issued by the court, and the disciples who received it also had to hold the "decree" of the unified system of the court.
However, whether it is "viewing the amount" or "paying to die", it is not free, and it needs to be bought in court with real money. During the war, the natural price of these documents rose.
Xiao Baozhen's wealth is not much, because he has a firm mind, does good deeds and accumulates virtue, basically takes nothing for preaching and practicing medicine, and earns little. Without documents, even if the disciples finally borrowed the abandoned Sanqingyuan site outside the city to build Taiyi Antang for him, it would be illegal after all.
For the sake of identity, Xiao Baozhen had to come to Beijing, which also brought fame. Soon, many incurable diseases were cured in front of his unique "magic dew"
Not only among the people, the names of "Taoist Xiao and Doctor Xiao" have been passed down from mouth to mouth, and even Emperor Xizong of Jin Dynasty has heard about them. It happened that the queen had a strange disease, and the doctors in the palace were helpless. With this news, it is inevitable that Xiao Baozhen will be invited to the palace, and Xiao Baozhen will live up to expectations. With the cooperation of "magic dew", the queen miraculously recovered.
Emperor Xizong of Jin naturally won't be stingy. He was given a plaque called "Tai Wanshou", which was even more successful. On one occasion, Xiao Baozhen naturally wanted to promote "Taiyi", so he focused on it and finally decided to give his alchemist to the emperor.
Some people may ask, what does this have to do with liquor? But his alchemist is actually a static one! And the dew he treated was made of this, called dew medicine!
What exactly is this lotion? In fact, it is to put the fermented wine embryo into a purified distiller. After the wine embryo is heated and evaporated, the dew cooled and condensed is crystal clear and fragrant. After repeated experiments, it has unexpected miraculous effects on a variety of miscellaneous diseases, hence the name "dew medicine"
Now we can naturally know that this is high-concentration liquor. As early as Huangdi Neijing, it was recorded that one kind of wine was the ancestor of various drugs. Up to now, hard liquor has been used in medical treatment, and it is still very effective to wipe the body with wine to solve the fever problem. It is still a common practice to improve the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine with wine as the guide.
At that time, the society, with the anti-inflammatory and anti-virus effects of wine, could treat many diseases such as ulceration and furuncle that seemed stubborn at that time. Even in the body, it can promote blood circulation, dispel cold and relieve pain.
This is why Xiao Baozhen is famous for his medical skills. He not only gave away equipment, but also taught Jin Xizong how to make "manna medicine". But I didn't want to think at once that this was the wine of the second prince, and he happened to be the emperor of good wine, so I immediately built the Royal Brewery, which was used as a prototype to brew the first pot of distilled high-concentration white wine in the history of China, and solved the so-called problem of a pot of turbid wine.
This also created the history of liquor and the liquor culture today.
