Heilongjiang people drink a lot. Drinking here is the main content of interpersonal communication, and it is impossible not to drink. Drinking tea and drinking among southerners is just a means of communication, mainly to talk things over, but in Heilongjiang this is not the case. Drinking is for the sake of drinking, and drinking is the purpose.
There are seven people in our department, including me, three men and four women. The three men are the worst drinkers, and I am ranked last. Several years have passed, and I still am. The girl who drinks the most is the female cashier. She can't move when she sees the wine. You don't need to persuade others to drink. She usually persuades others. Her husband is from Inner Mongolia and a heavy drinker. During the Chinese New Year, he put a box of liquor at home. He wanted to drink it when he got home in a few days, but he couldn't find it. When I asked her, she said I drank it all. When drinking with these people, the routine is that I drink first, they send me back to the dormitory, and then continue drinking. . . . .
On March 8th that year, the company improved the food for female employees, and we also took advantage of it. We started to drink together. The ladies were quite reserved at first and did not drink freely. Of course, everyone had a glass in front of them. Normally A drinking cup is called a vat by the locals. Drink at least one vat and then pour it out. After drinking, they dispersed, and the women returned to the dormitory. There were no men anymore, and they showed their true colors. They started shouting and drinking, and then gathered together and started drinking until night. I have been here for four and a half years, and I have never seen a woman who doesn’t drink, and I have never seen a woman who loses her temper after drinking too much. I admire her.
In the past two years, the results of the "Image Survey of Chinese Provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities)", a large-scale public opinion survey jointly launched by Xinhuanet and Zero Point Data, were released. More than 20% (21.4%) of the public believed that Heilongjiang people It has the largest amount of alcohol, even surpassing Inner Mongolia (16.2%) to top the list.
China’s wine culture has a long history. Which province has people who drink the most is a frequently discussed topic. This survey shows that more than 20% (21.4%) of the public believe that people in Heilongjiang drink the most, even surpassing Inner Mongolia (16.2%). Shandong Province ranked third (14%) in the massive competition. It seems that "eat in the south, drink in the north" is really well deserved.
Wine has been infiltrating the entire human society since ancient times. From the emperor to the common people, wine is indispensable for every festival, marriage and death, celebration of life and death, banquets and receptions for relatives and guests, farewells, greetings and sorrows, curing illnesses and prolonging life. Nowadays, wine culture has become an important part of the treasure house of human culture. Like ancient Chinese culture, it is extensive, profound and has a long history, and has a profound impact on the entire human life and human culture. Guizhou people are the best at drinking.
Guizhou is a summer resort with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, beautiful natural scenery, and a very advantageous human and geographical environment. It has a long history and culture. What is particularly worth mentioning is Guizhou’s wine culture. The unique natural conditions for winemaking and the profound historical accumulation of wine culture have produced a series of Chinese high-quality liquor brands represented by "National Liquor Moutai", which has become an important pillar industry and characteristic advantageous industry in Guizhou Province. In Guizhou, wine is an indispensable part of banquet etiquette and an important seasoning in people's lives; it condenses the affection of all ethnic groups in Guizhou, the inheritance of people's skills for thousands of years, and the The historical precipitation of Guizhou regional culture.
Those who have never been to Guizhou probably don’t understand Guizhou’s wine culture. In Guizhou, drinking is really common, and they are all high-strength wines. Moutai has become a must-have wine on the wine table. Everyone knows that, Moutai is a sauce-flavored liquor and one of the four major distilled spirits on the planet (Kweichow Moutai is recognized as one of the four best distilled spirits in the world, alongside Scotch whiskey, French Cognac, and Russian vodka). Most of Maotai liquor is higher than 50.
Next, I will introduce to you the unique wine culture of some ethnic minorities in Guizhou.
The first type of wine, girl wine, is the custom of brewing girl wine among the Dong and Miao people. That is, when a girl is born, she will immediately cook a jar of sweet wine for her and store it in the ground or bury it at the bottom of a pond. When the girl grows up, the cellar will be opened and used on her wedding day. It is similar to the "Ner'er Hong" brewed in Jiangnan area. The Dong people marry girls as dowries, which is called girl wine.
Also called female wine, the Miao people brew sweet rice wine when their daughters are born. After filtering, they are sealed in earthen jars with small mouths and large bellies. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the pond water dries up, they are buried in the pond. The bottom part is not taken out until the daughter returns to her parents' home after her marriage to entertain relatives, friends and guests.
Due to long-term cellaring, the wine is highly concentrated, green in color, rich and long-lasting in aroma, and has a sweet and mellow taste. It is a rare and rare wine.
The second kind of wine is the eight-character wine. Among the wedding customs of the Buyi people in southwestern Guizhou, there is an interesting custom of asking for eight-character wine. After the young man and woman have fallen in love and talked about matchmaking, and their parents have no objections, they need to choose a wedding date. Before the engagement date, the matchmaker from the man's family will come to the girl's house to ask for the horoscope, and the girl's family will put the horoscope in front of the magic table in the main room. A bowl of bento wine (pronounced "Biang dang" means home-brewed rice wine), and the girl's birth date is written on a piece of paper, and then pressed under one of the bowls of wine. At this time, the host will ask the matchmaker to reveal the girl's birthday. The matchmaker can only find the horoscope based on intuition. When a bowl of wine is uncovered and there is no horoscope for the girl, the matchmaker will drink the bowl of wine in one gulp and then uncover it again until the horoscope is revealed. Together, Mr. Yin and Yang will calculate a good time and auspicious day as the selected wedding date.
The third kind of wine is Zhihuazhujiu. In Miao families, if there are no children after marriage, or the children are weak and sick and cannot be cured for a long time, they must use Zhihuazhujiu to beg for children or to eliminate disasters and illnesses for their children. This form is used to achieve one's own wishes.
Ask a wizard to preside over the planting of flowers and bamboo wine. The family dug two bamboos with roots from the bamboo forest on the mountain and planted them next to the center pillar of their house. 12 blessed people with parents and children are also invited to participate in the sacrifice, and the host family entertains them with wine and meat. This is called drinking flower wine. In addition, a sealed jar of rice wine should be buried under the roots of the planted flowers and bamboos to make it auspicious all year round.
The fourth type of wine: Dropping wine to worship ancestors. The Shui people treat guests with drinks. No matter what the occasion, there is a custom of dropping wine to worship ancestors.
After the host and guest sit down at the table, the host usually proposes that the oldest person present take the chopsticks first. So the old man who was pushed out dipped his chopsticks into a drop of wine and sprinkled it on the table to show his toast to his ancestors first. Then, the host holds the cup in both hands and toasts the wine to the guest. The guest should take the wine cup and place it on the table. They should also dip their chopsticks in the wine to pay tribute to their ancestors to show their respect and memory for their ancestors. The custom of dropping wine to worship ancestors is also widely popular among the Miao people.
The fifth kind of wine is toasting. Guizhou ethnic minorities are hospitable people. They often use wine to express their hospitality, selflessness, friendliness and enthusiasm. However, the custom of toasting guests varies by ethnic group and region. The form and content are also different.
When the Miao people in southeastern Guizhou greet guests, the male host first toasts to the guests. Each person must drink two glasses of wine first, which means "you walked on two feet." Both glasses of wine are required. After finishing the third cup, the owner can do as he pleases. When a certain time comes, the owner will go into battle together with the girls and wives, holding a wine bowl (an earthen bowl for holding wine) and a wine bowl, standing behind the guests and toasting them with songs. First, start with the elder and complete the round, then pay respect in the opposite direction. Some hospitable women, in order to keep the guests staying, will choose a "key" guest and try to get him drunk, leaving the "leaderless" and have no choice but to stay. The true love of the Miao family can be described as "wine is like a person", which is intoxicating.
The sixth kind of wine, chicken head wine, is the Buyi people who live in southwestern Guizhou. During festivals and when distinguished guests come to their door, they kill chickens and prepare wine to entertain the guests. Among them, the main guests If there are several people, they will kill a few chickens, which are called "Phoenix Heads". After taking the table, the host will present the "phoenix head" to the main guest's hands. After the guest takes the "phoenix head", he will have a drink, and then he will face the chicken head to other guests to signal everyone to raise their glasses together. Drink it all.
The seventh kind of wine: Zhuanzhuanjiu. All ethnic groups living in Guizhou have the custom of drinking Zhuanzhuanjiu. Zhuanzhuanjiu contains two different contents and forms. One is that when drinking, everyone sits in a circle, with only one bowl of wine on the table. Those present pass the bowls to each other in one direction to show intimacy and no suspicion. This custom is especially popular among the Yi, Miao and Dong ethnic groups. The other type refers to the same village, with each family as a unit, taking turns to invite foreign guests, which is also called Zhuanzhuanjiu.
The Buyi people in Guizhou have a saying that "when a guest comes from one family, the whole village will be together", so this kind of Zhuanzhuan wine is particularly popular in Buyi villages. When a guest comes, the relatives, neighbors, and every family in the village will take turns to make wine. to, otherwise it will be considered unsociable. Besides Moutai, what other famous wines are there in Guizhou?

Drinking is so refreshing~
Also in Guizhou, don’t be surprised to see the following situation:
In fact, drinking is so simple and so enjoyable.
I think Inner Mongolia and Northeast China drink very heavily, but the survey data surprised me. Regional differences in Chinese people’s drinking are also obvious. The top ten “provinces and cities with the highest alcohol consumption” are: Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Henan, Beijing, Liaoning, Anhui, Shanxi, Jilin and Hubei.
As the saying goes, "There is no party without wine." Whether it is a gathering of family and friends, or work and entertainment, wine is indispensable to add to the fun. Chinese people’s preference for wine has led to a boom in the wine consumption market, which reaches its peak especially during the Spring Festival every year. During the Spring Festival holiday that just passed, how many people spent it at the wine table? Later, I personally felt that the reason why people from Inner Mongolia and Northeast China were not on the list may be that many local people are used to drinking local bulk wine and home-brewed wine such as kumiss. What do you think?
Alcoholics drink best! An alcoholic was dragged to the Civil Affairs Bureau by his wife. In front of the Civil Affairs cadres, his wife asked: "Do you want a drink or me?" ''When the alcoholic heard this, he said: ''Wine, wine, wine...'' After the divorce, the drunkard held the bottle of wine all day long: ''Wife, wife, wife...'' A few months later, the drunkard died of cirrhosis of the liver, and his wife Take your son to see him.
The drunkard took a swig of wine, took his son's hand and said, "Son, dad is wrong!" ’’ The son thought his father was repentant, but unexpectedly the drunkard said: ‘‘Dad, I can drink without drinking, but why did I forget? After your mother left, no one will add water to the wine! ’’ After saying this, the drunkard died at the age of forty.

Drinking capacity: No limit!
Which province has the highest average drinking rate? Undoubtedly from Shandong!
There are routines for drinking in Shandong, and this routine is the etiquette of drinking. It should be noted that according to this set of etiquette, a table full of people will not be able to support themselves without a pound of liquor. Now let’s talk about this set of etiquette or rules. One of the rules: The host who is facing the door is the host
The host can be understood as the host at the dinner table. He is the protagonist of the treat.
Usually responsible for controlling the overall situation, it is usually the person with the highest position in the party hosting the guests, or the oldest person, or the leader of the dinner. Rule 2: The person opposite to the principal companion is the deputy companion.
As the name suggests, this is the deputy companion of the principal companion. He usually drinks a lot and is good at enlivening the atmosphere. Sometimes he has to stop the main companion from drinking. Generally speaking, for work dinners, this is where the office director sits, friends or private gatherings, where cheerful and well-spoken people sit. Another situation is that people who ask for help and have to pay the bill will sit there. Rule 3: Right is top
With the main and deputy companions, it is easy to arrange the people who sit down, with the right hand first and the left second. That is, the person sitting on the right hand side of the host is the guest of honor, and the person sitting on the left hand side of the host is the deputy guest. In the same way, the one on the right hand is the third guest, and the one on the left is the fourth guest. Of course, if you look at it from the side's point of view, it's just the opposite, that is, the left is the top. Rule No. 4: The third and fourth escorts are waiting for you.
Usually those who are next to the guest of honor and the deputy guest are called escorts and fourth escorts. Their task is to assist the host and host in taking good care of the host and deputy guests, so that everyone can eat and drink well. The people who serve this dinner usually have a certain amount of alcohol.
The above is based on the seating arrangements for a standard table of 8 people. If it is for 10 people, the host, auxiliary, and auxiliary guests should remain seated. In principle, the other guests should sit among the guests to make it easier for them to eat and drink well.
Let’s talk about the rules of toasting. One of the rules is that the host should bring the wine.
When the banquet begins, the host can wait for the first hot dish to be served before he can receive the wine. This is also called bringing the wine. Rule 2: Agree on the quantity of wine to be brought in advance
Whether you are the main escort or the assistant escort, you must decide how much to drink before starting to receive the wine. Usually, you drink three, six, seven or nine. That is, the main companion drinks three drinks or finishes one drink in three sips, and the deputy also drinks three, which is six. Let the escort bring one, here are seven. But if the number is nine, then there will be three for the principal, three for the assistant, two for the third, and one for the fourth. Rule 3: The host and the auxiliary must move in circles
After the agreed three, six, seven, nine, the host and auxiliary must start from the right hand and drink with the guests in turn, usually two. Under special circumstances, you can also toast from the left. For example, if the guest of honor is not good at drinking or is ill, or if the guest of honor has a high status but the deputy guest is older, the host guest will show respect and let the deputy guest drink first. However, this kind of special situation is relatively rare and will basically not occur in more formal wine bureaus.
Rule 3: Three or four companions can receive drinks alone
After the main and auxiliary guests have finished playing in a circle, the three or four companions can play in a circle, or they can drink alone with the principal and auxiliary guests, which is usually the case. two. Rule 4: Deepen the wine
After the above toast, if the drinking guests and the host have a good conversation, the guest and the host can drink the wine to deepen their relationship. Rule 5: There must be a toast message
All those who toast and bring wine must have a toast message or a toast message for every drink, and the toast message of the next person cannot be the same as the toast message of the previous person. Who said it? Well, whoever says something meaningful will draw applause and the wine will be drained.
Rule No. 6: Guests are not allowed to drink in return.
After all the procedures of the first, second, and third and fourth escorts are completed, the guests can return the favor. When the guest returns the favor, the host must drink it, and the price cannot be negotiated. Rule No. 7: The main host ends with the host
After both parties have had enough wine and food, at the end of the banquet, the host usually makes the final statement, makes a concluding speech, and then ends. Of course, there are also cases where the guest of honor makes the final speech and concluding remarks. Usually in this case, the guest of honor has a more distinguished status. Rule 8: Do not leave any wine in the glass
At the end of the banquet, everyone must drink the last glass of wine, no matter the guest or the host, without leaving anything behind. Rule 9: The principal and the companion can drink the handover wine
This rule became more popular in the past few years, that is, the principal and the companion drink the predetermined number of drinks, and then drink alone with the companion to show that the right to toast is handed over to the companion. Assistant, the assistant will bring the wine. It has basically become out of fashion in recent years. When handover wine became popular, it was also when "if you want your guests to drink well, drink it yourself first" became popular.
But now, to be honest, "there are no such stupid people to entertain guests."
In Shandong, red wine is a drink specially catered to women. The success of a banquet depends on the party's ability to mobilize everyone's emotions. The level of toasting and wine-taking is the key. Shandong people believe that drinking is good only if you drink it down. If during a drinking game, no one falls down, or no one vomits after drinking, or no one is so drunk that they talk nonsense and talk nonsense... the drinking game is basically It failed.
Therefore, there are different requirements for the people who are seated in each position of the party. There was a folk joke - the main companion relies on power to toast, the deputy companion relies on violence to toast, the third companion relies on face to toast, and the fourth companion relies on face to toast Toasting depends on cheating.
Relying on power means that the host usually has a higher position, his words have weight, and he has to drink even if he doesn't drink. This is a command. Relying on violence means that the assistant toast usually force-feeds and stalks. The escorts are usually beautiful women, coquettish and coquettish, so they toast the wine. The four companions are usually the ones with the lowest position and the youngest age at the party hosting the guests. If you don't "sell your petty gifts" and don't cheat, sometimes you won't be able to persuade them with wine.
When it comes to average drinking rates, Shandong Province undoubtedly ranks first.
I think Inner Mongolia and Northeast China drink very heavily, but the survey data surprised me. Regional differences in Chinese people’s drinking are also obvious. The top ten “provinces and cities with the highest alcohol consumption” are: Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Henan, Beijing, Liaoning, Anhui, Shanxi, Jilin and Hubei.
As the saying goes, "There is no party without wine." Whether it is a gathering of family and friends, or work and entertainment, wine is indispensable to add to the fun. Chinese people’s preference for wine has led to a boom in the wine consumption market, which reaches its peak especially during the Spring Festival every year. During the Spring Festival holiday that just passed, how many people spent it at the wine table? Later, I personally felt that the reason why people from Inner Mongolia and Northeast China were not on the list may be that many local people are used to drinking local bulk wine and home-brewed wine such as kumiss. What do you think?
Drinking is so refreshing~
Also in Guizhou, don’t be surprised to see the following situation:
In fact, drinking is so simple and so enjoyable.
Northerners really love drinking. My sister-in-law is from the Northeast. When she got married, her maternal uncle and brother were very good drinkers. During the lunch banquet, my husband’s relatives drank all night. There was no feast, and for three consecutive days of banquets, my father invited all his acquaintances who could drink to accompany him. Alas! They were all defeated!
My cousin’s daughter-in-law is from Fuyang. Why! During the wedding reception, my brother and the others were frightened. There was white wine on the table, and the woman just said one thing and talked about other things after drinking. Except for a few drivers, they were all dizzy when they came back.
My cousin got married in Fuyang. When she got married, many men from the bride’s family didn’t go because they couldn’t afford to be hurt. I finished the wedding ceremony that day and drove home in the afternoon! People who don’t know how to drink can’t afford to get hurt.
Everyone in China can drink it!
Drinking requires physical resistance. People who are not in good health cannot drink.
Invite Guizhou people to come to Shandong as guests. To be honest, we can’t afford to drink Maotai. Let’s drink freely from the local brand "Qi Minsi". Shandong people are known for: arrogance, boldness, boldness, and booze. Do you think so? We don’t dare to brag about drinking, but there is no doubt whether we can drink. Friends from Guizhou, do you dare to come and compete?
