Origins of Chinese Wine and the Western Wine The wine, to both the Chinese and the westerners, plays an important role in people?s daily life. To pare the different origins of wine between China and the West, we should first pare the different origins of wine culture. The wine culture is one of the most popular and the most important human cultures. The origin of wine in China is different from that in the West. It is human beings who brewed wine in China but in the West, wine is the product made by the spirit. The Origins of Chinese Wine Usually, there are four legends of Chinese wine origins. They are all about who invested the methods of making wine. The originators are as follows: Yi Di, Du Kang, the monkey and the Chinese Lord .Yi Di and Du Kang are considered the originators of winemaking in China and are believed by most people. According to ancient annals, Yi Di was ordered by Yu the Great to produce mellow wine from fermented glutinous rice. The concoction tasted good and Yi Di was confident he would receive a reward. Yu, while agreeing that the drink was of excellent quality and had a good taste, so Yi Di was rewarded. Another Chinese winemaker, Du Kang, created a formula for high quality liquor made of shum. As a legend has it, one winter he put cultivated shum seeds in a hollow. The following spring he noticed a strong smell ing from it and was amazed to discover that the shum he left there had fermented. This accidental discovery inspired Du Kang to create an alcoholic beverage. And with no doubt, he succeeded. The liquid he invented was so popular that Du Kang became the pronoun of the wine and was remembered by people until now. The origins of the Western Wine Different from Chinese origin of wine, the West has no clear records in its history. It was said that an ancient Persian king sealed the remnant grapes in the barrel and labeled the word ??poison” to prevent others from eating them. There was a concubine disfavored by the king and lived painfully opportunely to see the poison barrel and wanted to kill herself at that time. She opened it and drank for a few mouths. She didn?t feel painful but a sense of intoxication and giddy when she was waiting to die before she fell asleep. When she awoke, she found the stresses that had made her life intolerable had dispersed. Returning to the source of her relief, her subsequent conduct changed so remarkably that she told the king the matter .A test is unavoidable but the concubine regained the King39。s favor. This, of course, is a beautiful legend. There are many other kinds of arguments about western origins of wine like the beautiful legend we just mentioned. The ancient Egyptian think wine is invented by the guardian angel of the deadFrancis. The Greek people thought that wine was brought to people by the wine god Dionysus. Many arguments also classified the wine to the Godmaking products. Among these arguments, the wine god Dionysus made the wine the most popular one. The wine god Dionysus is a Greek god, it is said that Dionysus is the kid of the father of the gods Zeus and the Thebe Princess Mily. After Mily was killed by Zeus?s another wife, Dionysus was raised by a goddess. Then he began to stray around Europe with his servant, wherever they go, there float up the smell of wine, and then wine bees popular in the European continent. Just like Du Kang, Dionysus is the pronoun of the western wine. Part III. Material and Category for Winemaking The variety and quality of agricultural products in an area are determined by its soil, water, climate and other natural condition. China?s vast land breeds its abundant resources dominated by agriculture since ancient times. All political, economic activities are based on the agricultural development in China. Wine in China is mostly in grain brewing. “Wine is great essential of food, as drunk as possible young is a proverb in Chinese mess, but is also really brilliant .China and the West have obviously different wine cultures. As far as the used material and category for winemaking are concerned, the most characteristic and notable wine in China is made from corn and rice, while in the West it is the wine made from grape. The Materials and Categories of Chinese Wine China is one of the three ancient countries in the world that has thousands of years of history to brew wine. Wine is China39。s national unique treasure, it can push for China one of the world?s five great inventions. In China?s history of more t
