Chen Deeds 1
1. Learning: with Kang Youwei.
To understand Chen, you must go into his hometown? Li Antang Village, Zhangcha, Chancheng District. Li Antang is a natural village with a long history and profound cultural heritage. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the scholars in the village thought that reading and becoming famous was the "right way". Therefore, some wealthy families, in order to put their children on the right path, will go all out to provide them with education, so many imperial examination families have emerged. Sun Zichen, the grandson of Chen Pingxian, the founder of Chen Taiji Winery, is one of the best.
Now, 90% of the villagers are descendants of Chen. Chen Youqi, who is over 60 years old, recalled: "Chen was brilliant, got a bachelor's degree in Hanlin and went to Guizhou to take the provincial examination." Chen is a disciple of Mr Zhu Ciqi and a classmate of Kang Youwei. Under the influence of Kang Youwei, he promoted reform ideas. "
Chen studied in the ancestral temple of Chen in his hometown since childhood, and was also a disciple of Mr. Zhu Ciqi and a classmate of Mr. Kang Youwei in Lishan Caotang, Jiujiang, Nanhai. Among the Chen family in the town, Chen is a gifted scholar with excellent writing and calligraphy. In the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873), he was promoted to Di Mei in the 9th year of Guangxu (1883). Emperor Guangxu appointed an academician and awarded him a scholarship. Guangxu 15th year (1889) was appointed as the official examiner of Guizhou province. He is an honest and clean official.
Chen, who is not confused, is the time when his career is booming. Chen resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown on the pretext that his mother was ill. Back to my hometown, I gave lectures at the West Lake Academy in Xiqiao Mountain, Nanhai, and tried to cultivate peaches and plums with new teaching concepts. During his teaching, he wrote a book saying that in addition to annotation and revision of The West Chamber, Peach Blossom Fan, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, there were poems handed down from generation to generation, and his calligraphy was also very good. It also inscribed the plaque of "Lianxianglou" in Guangzhou.
2. Zhuang: Shiwan Jade Ice Roast is very famous.
After that, Chen returned to his hometown and made wine in Taiji Distillery run by his grandfather. At that time, Taiji Liquor was very famous in the south, but Yueru felt that there was still a lot of knowledge in brewing, so she began to read a lot of books and decided to make Taiji Distillery look good.
Chen is determined to innovate the brewing technology on the basis of the brewing technology of rice wine handed down from family. At that time, the rice wine sold in the market, including Taiji rice wine, was a bit bitter and spicy, and it was easy to get drunk. Some people say: drinking is to be spicy and drunk, which is good wine. Didn't the ancients say "drown your sorrows by drinking" and "rest after getting drunk"? However, Chen believes that good wine should be used for tasting, so that people can drink it smoothly and taste it. He thought hard: besides good rice and good water, what else can make rice wine more mellow? Seeing that Cantonese people like to soak wine with snakes or hairy chickens, he began to pay attention to the skills of soaking wine with meat.
That year, the Chen family in Li Antang Township held a drinking ceremony to respect the elderly, and the Chen Ancestral Hall held a grand banquet and distributed a pork to the elderly. That night, the squire dined with the elderly and famous people who were over the years. During the dinner, Yueru noticed that the old people especially liked to eat fat pork, and he also tasted it carefully. He found that fat pork was not only delicious, but also tender and sweet. Yueru thought, why not add fat pork to Taiji rice wine and soak it in Shiwan pottery embankment to create a new rice wine brewing process? After repeated experiments, the fat pork was soaked in rice wine for a period of time, and the originally turbid rice wine became more pure. Pork soaked in wine is like crystal ice, and the wine is clear. Taste it carefully at the entrance, and it tastes sweet and smooth. The bitterness and spicy taste of white wine are removed, and the wine is soft, sweet and smooth, which has a unique and rich flavor different from ordinary yellow rice wine.
He complied with people's habit of calling rice wine "shochu", and because the rice wine brewed from pork is as clear as jade, it was named "meat ice burning".
For this process of soaking fat pork in liquor, Cai Zhuangyun, marketing director of Shiwan Distillery, explained: "Pork can adsorb impurities, soak in liquor, and blend with liquor to form a unique wine aroma, which makes the liquor mellow. Is this true, too? Chen Taiji Winery? The unique process, very similar to the distilled original wine of whisky and brandy, needs to be stored in oak barrels. "
Since then, Shiwan Jade Ice Burning has become famous.
3. New: update the concept of industrial development
The writer's novel "Drunkenness leads a dream to death" is written around the protagonist Chen. He believes: "Chen is learned, has been an official, has seen the world, and has outstanding processing ability and economic mind."
Chen bought houses, fields and land from Shiwan to Haikou, commonly known as "waterlogged land", and then opened two "rice bases", one called "Chen Guangxing" and the other called "Chen Yili", which was similar to the current grain processing factory, and carried out the business of "harvesting and milling rice" and accumulated a lot of rice.
How can we make better use of the resources of Shiwan brewing industry? Chen transformed the Sangji fish pond in his hometown, and transported the ground chaff and millet back to the countryside to mix with forage as feed. At the same time, he raised pigs with distiller's grains and cultivated microorganisms for fish with pig manure in the pond. Cover the pond mud with base fertilizer to fertilize the soil, and cross the "Dragon Bamboo" of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province with the local "Elephant Bamboo" to cultivate a famous Lingnan bamboo shoot variety that likes big fertilizer? The big head is flat and planted in the foundation of a fish pond, which is called a "bamboo-based fish pond".
After the founding of New China, this pond system model was still used. The pomfret in Haikou is very famous, and it is dedicated to Guangzhou, the provincial capital, while the big-headed flat bamboo shoots in Li Antang were designated as the only export bamboo shoots by the state from 1950s to 1980s.
Cai Zhuangyun, marketing director of Shiwan Winery, believes that "Chen is quite innovative in developing Chen Taiji Winery, and integrating various resources has a lot to do with his profound knowledge, down-to-earth learning spirit and pioneering vision."
/kloc-for 0/80 years, shiwan winery has been leading the trend of the times in the development of innovation and change.
4. Fame: Dig deep into the cultural connotation of jade ice burning.
After the news that Chen was selected as a historical celebrity in Foshan reached the village, the villagers rushed to tell stories. Chen's ancestral hall in the village is a place where villagers meet. A villager told reporters that Chen is a scholar, and a scholar has developed a brand, which is very remarkable. He is a historical celebrity in Foshan, the pride of Li Antang Village and the pride of Foshan people.
Yu Wanshao, a folklore expert in Foshan, said that Chen deserved to be selected as a historical celebrity candidate in Foshan. When Chen created the jade ice burning technology, he only knew that the rice wine brewed with pork was mellow and delicious, but he didn't understand the mystery. Modern science and technology have made great progress on the basis of the tradition of burning jade ice in Shiwan.
Scientific research has proved that Shiwan Jade Ice Burning is the crystallization of the most traditional, purest and most innovative brewing technology. Adding pork, Taji rice wine can absorb the impurities in the wine and slowly degrade the fat. The produced fatty acids are blended with liquor to form a unique wine aroma and alcoholization effect, which increases the sweetness of liquor, softens liquor, softens liquor aroma, and effectively improves liquor aroma, taste and clarity.
Shiwan Winery is very happy that Chen was listed as a candidate for the selection of historical celebrities in Foshan. Jinshi was one of the highest degrees in ancient China. I'm afraid there is no brand of wine related to Jinshi in China. Jade ice roast was invented by Jinshi, which can be described as Jinshi wine. It may be a unique brand of China Liquor, with great cultural value, which is worthy of future generations to protect and explore its cultural connotation.
Cai Zhuangyun said that the brewing technology of Shiwan Yubing Shaojiu has been approved to be included in the intangible cultural heritage protection project in Guangdong Province, and it is currently applying for the national intangible cultural heritage project, which is the most effective way to protect it. At present, Shiwan Winery has three generations of reserves, which are the core products in terms of enterprise management, so it needs to be protected and developed anyway and passed down forever.
He believes that it is very important to better tap the core ideas of our ancestors and predecessors and let the world know their contributions to society through the selection of historical celebrities. This method is very good and has a far-reaching impact on social development.
Chen Ji's story 2
Chen pioneered Guangdong yellow rice wine "Shiwan Jade Ice Roast"
Chen observed that Cantonese people like to soak wine with snakes or hairy chickens, which caused Chen to think. He noticed the knowledge of making wine with meat. It is said that in that year, Li Antang Town held a drinking ceremony to respect the elderly and distributed a portion of pork to the elderly. Chen noticed that those old people especially like fat pork, but what's delicious about fat pork? Chen, who had doubts, carefully tasted a piece and found that fat pork was not only delicious, but also greasy and sweet. He had a brainwave and decided to try to add fat pork to Taji rice wine and soak it in Shiwan pottery pile to create a new rice wine brewing process. After repeated experiments, fat pork soaked in rice wine for a period of time turned out to be turbid, and rice wine with impurities became more pure. Pork soaked in wine is like crystal clear ice cubes. The liquor is clear and tasted carefully at the entrance, which not only removes the bitterness and spicy taste of liquor, but also makes the liquor taste soft, sweet and smooth, with a unique and rich flavor different from ordinary rice wine. This kind of shochu soaked in pork is named "meat-ice burning" because "meat" and "jade" are homophonic in Cantonese, and the soaked pork is like jade. So it was renamed "Jade Ice Burning".
Integrate resources and innovate and develop.

This pond system model is still in use after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The grass pomfret in Haikou is very famous, which is dedicated to Guangzhou, the provincial capital, while the big-headed flat bamboo shoots in Li Antang were designated as the only export bamboo shoots by the state from 1950s to 1980s. In addition, the pig industry in Taiji Winery has developed rapidly. By the time of the Republic of China, this tradition reached its peak, and the number of pigs reached 500 (1933), with an average weight of 300 Jin, and six people were employed to raise pigs professionally. Pork also has a new way of value-added utilization. (Shiwan Winery website)
Character annotation
Chen (Chen) believes that filial piety is the foundation of life. I will save my mother from the twilight and never stop. This town is famous for producing sugar cane. Her mother likes sugar cane, but she is too old to chew. He carefully broke the sugarcane into small branches with a knife for his mother to eat. Chen was deeply moved by the support of the villagers when he was a teenager, so he built a tea pavilion on the township road for the past villagers to rest. At that time, Zhangcha Township was constantly fighting for water, land and graves. On one occasion, a large-scale duel was brewing between Dafu Township and Li Antang Township because of the geomantic problem of ancestral graves. After Chen knew it, he intervened. He personally went to the ancestral temple at the junction of the two townships, summoned the elders of the two townships, announced the great gains and losses, persuaded the villagers of the two townships, settled the dispute, and avoided a bloody fight. Chen is fair and courageous, and is deeply respected by nearby villagers. (Foshan figures)
The author of Lianxianglou in Guangzhou is Yue.
Guangzhou Lianxianglou enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and is known as the "first lotus seed". Founded by Zhaoqing people in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty; In the middle of Guangxu, the "Cake Crisp Pavilion" was changed to "Lianxianglou" with 465,438+04 shares, which expanded its business and opened three branches in Kowloon, Hong Kong. 19 10 years (two years), after tasting the food of Lianxianglou, Hanlin Chen praised the lotus seed paste of Lianxianglou as excellent, so he wrote the book Lianxianglou and suggested adding "grass flower head" to the original word "lotus". Since then, Lianxianglou has been renamed Lianxianglou, which has been in use ever since.
