Take you to understand Hainan wine culture.

In the history of Hainan culture, there used to be a lot of wine that slowly disappeared in history with the passage of time. There used to be a lot of wine on Hainan Island, and the wine culture was quite rich. The production of wine is based on local materials, and all kinds of wine are diverse and mellow. Although some wines have disappeared, Hainan's wine culture has become more and more perfect. Let's learn about the wine culture in Hainan in history.

Lost "Chili Wine" and "Cinnamon Wine"

Chili wine is one of the best wines and has not been handed down. Residents of Hainan Island will use pomegranate to make wine (that is, Chili wine) very early. Song Xerox's "Taiping Yuhuan Ji Lingnan Road Thirteen" 169 published: "Qiongzhou and Yazhou have pomegranate-like wine trees, and their flowers are intoxicating." Song Zhao Shi Ru "Zhufanzhi" Volume Download: "Without koji rice, pomegranate flowers are brewed into wine." "Biography of Iman in the History of Song Dynasty III" also said, "Qiong Dong has pepper wine, which makes pomegranate use urn as wine." In the Qing Dynasty, Chili wine was still very popular, and there was a record of "only drinking Chili wine" in Qiongzhou County Records of the Qing Dynasty.

The legendary Gong Yue Jade Rabbit Fairy Brewing Method, I don't know when it spread to CoCo Lee. In the Song Dynasty, Yang Wanli's poem "Publishing Wine Hall", "Wan Li's whale waves are separated by Xu, and the Millennium osmanthus wine hangs on the spirit", is about taking Dongpo as Qu Yuan and paying homage to osmanthus wine. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a similar saying in Yu Ji's poem on the same topic: "Gan Xin cooked cinnamon wine and listed miscellaneous potatoes and taro." Fu's grandson, eat, drink and sacrifice first. "Now, where is the cinnamon wine?

Zhen Xi Zhang zi JIU

It is extremely rare to make wine with animal meat, but in history, Hainan Island residents have the habit of making wine with wild roe deer meat. There is a poem in Su Shi's Six Poems to Encourage Agriculture, which describes the scene of Li people hunting roe deer in Danzhou at that time. There is a record in "xian county's Records of Animals": "The roe is good at being surprised, and the water he drinks immediately rushes ... It is very good to make wine with roe." This should be the proof that ancient people used roe to make wine. The reporter once visited this kind of wine in Danzhou, and the answer was a surprised rhetorical question: "Is there this kind of wine?" However, today, the roe deer is a national protected animal, and it is not a pity to see the roe deer wine.

"Tianmendong" is ripe for the New Year.

Asparagus, also called Stemona, can be used as medicine, which has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening lung, removing fire and relieving cough. Asparagus juice can be used as distiller's yeast, and the medicinal properties of asparagus can be used to brew rice wine, which is called asparagus wine. Asparagus winter wine is said to have been invented by Su Shi, a "broken fairy", during his residence. Dongpo's asparagus brewing method is recorded in detail in Mountain Residence Record: "One barrel of alcohol is used for brewing wine, one liter of koji, five liters of good glutinous rice, and asparagus juice is used for soaking. First, the wine should be brewed as usual, boiled in cold and warm, and brewed in the order of decocting and drinking. Spring and summer on the 7th, autumn and winter on 10. The wine is sour when it is first cooked, but it tastes good after a long time, and the remaining wine is not as good as it is. "

Su Dongpo also recorded a similar brewing method in his Dongpo Wine Classic. He also expressed his joy in brewing and drinking asparagus wine with poems. The poem says, "You are drunk before you get out of a cloud beside the bed. Tianmen is ripe in winter and happy in the New Year, and Mi Qu Chunxiang doesn't smell it. " I think asparagus wine has been accepted by people. It is said that Su Dongpo also brewed "a true wine" with rice, wheat and water. There are related records in the Records of Qiongzhou Prefecture in the light years of Qing Dynasty, but the brewing method has gone away with the appearance of "Breaking Immortals".

"acanthopanax bark"

There is also such a record in the "Danxian Annals": "At the end of May, at noon, dumplings were fed to each other, men and women wore sachets, children wrapped in colored ropes, painted realgar, drank calamus wine, and Liu Ai hung the door." I wonder if the calamus wine drunk during the Dragon Boat Festival is a kind of yellow wine? The reporter had an unexpected harvest in Danzhou: there was an old man in Jiaoyao Village, Nanfeng Town, who brewed acanthopanax senticosus wine and drank about half a catty every day. Now he has lived to the age of 104. It seems that his "indigenous method" of acanthopanax bark is much better than industrial brewing, so "brewing method can't be taught to others."

In ancient times, I drank "coconut wine"

Coconut wine is also an old wine with a long history. After modern people's arrangement and discovery, there are roughly two brewing methods: one is to cut off the pedicels when the coconut trees grow Buddha buds, collect coconut juice, bottle it centrally, and take the juice to brew low-alcohol coconut wine; The other is to take ripe coconut, mash coconut water and coconut meat to make slurry, and the slurry will automatically ferment into wine. Su Dongpo wrote a poem "Coconut Crown" when he was in Danzhou. In the poem, "Heaven teaches you to drink all the silk every day, and the wine makes the forest wait for the instrument. Self-sprinkling invites drunken guests, and even the empty shell is paid to the crown owner. " It is to praise coconut wine as a natural wine, and there is no need for a younger brother (one of the legendary ancestors of China ancient winemaking) to teach the brewing method. After the wine is made, coconut shells can also be made into hats. When his son Su Guo lived in Danzhou, he also wrote a poem "Coconut wine is white", which shows that coconut wine was popular at least in Danzhou at that time.

Qinglianjin restaurant outside the door

Brewing is a habit, so is drinking. Drinking flourished in Hainan Island in history, and restaurants were everywhere in the Song Dynasty. Su Shi recorded this in "Bo 'er Night Book": "Stepping into the west of the city, entering the monastery, passing through the alley ..... the slaughter is endless. "Records of Qiongzhou County record Li Guangshi" Outside the door, the green curtain is exhausted. "Among them, Yi Tu and violet are synonymous with restaurants. No wine, no ceremony. According to the Records of Danxian County, residents of Hainan Island used wine to offer sacrifices to stoves in history: "Sweep the house dust with bamboo leaves, change the stove ash, bring wine and fruit at night, and send the kitchen king to the emperor." "This tradition of offering sacrifices to stoves with wine spread from the Central Plains to Hainan at least in the Song Dynasty. Dongpo's poem" Tomorrow's master will offer sacrifices to stoves, and kill chickens and fight for the moon for me ". "This is proof.

It is also recorded in the "Danxian County Records" that there is a rural drinking institution among the people, which specializes in hosting the "rural drinking" ceremony. At that time, "wine ceremony will be prepared in the country and sugar balls will be prepared in the city". On both sides of the fish line and scholar, bells and drums will ring and drinking will sing. Under the solemn atmosphere of the "rural drinking" ceremony, it is actually the desire of the squire to maintain local order and its interests. Another ancient wine custom in Hainan Island is "cellar". On the Lantern Festival (Lantern Festival) on the fifteenth day of the first month, every household inserts fresh grass leaves in bamboo wine cages, which are called "hanging green" or "inserting" to decorate the Spring Festival and express good luck. This custom also existed in the Song Dynasty. Su Shi wrote such a poem: "I bought rice from the source of the river for my spare clothes, and the new work only went up to Yuan."
