Taiyuan people, really "brew"!

The history of Taiyuan's winemaking can be traced back to the Neolithic era. In 1975, Di Village in Taiyuan City was archeologically unearthed.

This kind of open -necked, round, round, and three -legged wine vessels, its clear rope pattern declares that our ancestors have initially mastered the technology of winemaking at least 5000 years ago.

However, letting Taiyuan's wine is well -known in the world, more than 1400 years ago, in the Jinyang Royal Palace in the Northern Qidu, a self -considering drinking alone.

The Emperor Gao Zhan of the North Qi, regardless of the annoyance of the military and political affairs, and drank smoothly. Suddenly remembered the nephew Gao Xiaoyu of King Shukang, Henan, and then repaired the book.

Emperor Wu Cheng, Gao Zhan, is not a good emperor, but he drinks and drinks a millennium good wine brand: Fen Qing, Fen Qing is Fenjiu. In the history of China, there is only the "Beiqi Book", which accurately records the only liquor name in our country: Fen Clearing.

Fen Qing sake, as a court royal wine, its earliest place of origin should be Jinyang City in Beiqi.

At that time, the northern Qiqi Railway, copper -refining, and manufacturing weapons were in a leading position in the north, and invented the earliest match "Conzer Light". Advanced winemaking technology, talent and equipment, it is bound to be concentrated in Jinyang City.

The emperor's alcoholicism is bound to affect the majority of Northern Qi generals. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records that after the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Army fought in Jinyang, after the Northern Qi Army won the initial battle, the soldiers rushed into the winery and "drinking the house to drink and be drunk."

In the end, he was successfully counterattacked by the North Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking about it that year, Fenyang was called Nanshuo Prefecture in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the late Eastern Han Dynasty was called Zi. At that time, Zi Shi was beautiful and beautiful, and the Han nationality had very little population. Cao Cao set up tens of thousands of people in the left of the Huns, and continued his life.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu Liu Yuan from now on, was sold out by Lu Liang. He established the Han Dynasty in Linfen today, and Liu Yuan's son Liu Cong died in the Western Jin Dynasty. From the left of the Xiongnu from Fenyang to the Western Jin Dynasty, it was only 88 years.

This shows that although the left of the Huns settled in Fenyang, it did not transform into a farming nation.

Therefore, it is speculated that the earliest origin of Fen Qing sake was in Taiyuan. Several years ago, at the site of Kuching City, the Han Dynasty liquor residue was found to prove that Taiyuan's brewing industry was relatively developed.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Taiyuan's brewing industry improved more, and Taiyuan wine was praised by the "first fragrance". At that time, Li Yuan started his soldiers, and the three armies drank the "Jinyang Palace Gate" wine to destroy the Tang Dynasty to establish the Tang Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty hunting the military aircraft, and the soldiers were drunk and lost Jinyang. Li Yuan and the soldiers drank their signs and established the Tang Dynasty.

During the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai traveled twice in Taiyuan in Beidu. He Zeng poetry, "Qiong Cup’ s unclean jade case, which made me drunk. " In the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan Wine was listed as a tribute.

After Fen Qing, "Qianhe" rose. The "Beishan Wine Sutra" in Zhuyi in the Northern Song Dynasty contains "Fenzhou in the Tang Dynasty."

Dou Ge's "Liquor" cloud, "Tang people spoke beautiful wine, there are Hedong dryness." The Tang Dynasty Zhang Ji said, "Bringing wine loves to harmony", that is, people do not enter the water today, and Fenoma thinks that they are expensive, and they are called dry wine.

Zhang Nengchen's "Jiu Ni Ji" contains, "jade liquid wine" and "quiet hall wine", these two well -known shochu. He also said, "Fenzhou Ganlu Tang is the most famous."

In the Yuan Dynasty, Song Boren's "History of Wine" was listed in famous wines in the country.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the losing mulberry wine that had been lost for a long time was replaced in Taiyuan Wine Palace, and was favored by senior officials and Yashi.

Xu Wei, a large calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Sanpin", "One is said to be mulberry, that is, Taiyuan wine, and Zong Fan Dongyu's family is winning."

Liu Tinglai, who served as a book in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, praised in "Magazine in the Garden", "The mulberry of Taiyuan is drunk, and the wine is intoxicated."

Taiyuan has had good wine since ancient times, and good wine is brewed from Taiyuan. The "Taiyuan Prefecture" in the Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty included Fenqing wine in Taiyuan's production bar. More than 200 years ago, Fenjiu belonged to Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is a wine capital, which is the status of the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties in history. It has many water resources such as Fenshui and Jinshui, as well as flat and easy -to -cultivate land, rich winemaking raw materials, and more advanced winemaking techniques. It's open.

So far, there is still a alley in Taiyuan City called "Roasted Lane".
