The fragrance of Shehong Spring Wine spreads all over the world and is famous throughout the ages. It depends on the unique natural conditions and is also inseparable from Shehong’s good cultural environment. Jinhua Mountain, located on the edge of the Fujiang River in the north of Shehong, is one of the symbols of Shehong culture. Chen Ziang, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once studied on the mountain.
It is said that when he was young, Chen Ziang began to act as the son of a wealthy family and a chivalrous person. Unknown book until seventeen or eighteen. I went to Jinhuashan Township School when I was 18 or 19 years old. Chen Zi'ang, whose courtesy name was Boyu, was born in the fourth year of Emperor Xianqing's reign (659) in the Tang Dynasty. He lived at the foot of Wudong Mountain, across the Fujiang River from Jinhua Mountain. He started studying hard because he regretted hurting others while practicing martial arts and fencing, and also because of his father's timely advice and inspiration. After enrolling in school, he refused to have any followers and specialized in tomb scriptures. In the past few years, hundreds of schools of literature and history have been read, which should not be read.
After completing his studies at the age of 21, he entered Chang'an. In the first year of Yongchun (682), he won the title of Jinshi. After writing a letter to discuss matters, Wu Zetian saw that Chen Ziang was outstanding in talent, summoned him to Jinhua Palace, and appointed him as Lintai Zhengzi. At this time, Chen Zi'ang came to prominence, and his poems and articles were copied and passed on. People praised Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong for their reappearance in the mountains. When the Turks invaded the border, Chen Ziang resolutely followed Qiao Zhizhi's northern expedition and reached Juyanhai and Zhangye areas in the northwest. Not more than a year later, he returned to the court victorious. In the first year of Yongchang (689), Lintai's official term was completed, and he moved to the right guard Zhou Cao to join the army. In the second year of Tianshou (691), my stepmother returned home worried about being an official. When her term of office expired, she promoted you to pick up the artifacts. In the first year of Long Live Tongtian (696), he accompanied Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an County, to attack the Khitan and was ordered to serve as an adviser. He demanded that the troops be divided into ten thousand people as the vanguard, and he repeatedly made suggestions. However, he was hated by the commander and was dismissed from his post and demoted to sergeant. Full of grief and indignation, Chen Zi'ang climbed up to Youzhou Terrace, looked up to the sky and sighed:
I saw no ancients in front of me, and no newcomers in the future.
Thinking of the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness.
This is an eternal song.
In the first year of the Holy Calendar (698), on the grounds that his father was old and sick, he returned home, ending his 15-year official career. After Chen Ziang returned to his hometown, he planned to write a "Historical Records" from the time of Xiaowu in the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that when the discipline was first established and the pen was not finished, Duan Jianluozhi, the magistrate of Shehong County, was arrested and imprisoned for being a grammer. He died of sorrow and anger in the first year of Wuzhou Jiushi (700) at the age of 42.
Chen Ziang was not only a politician and military strategist who participated in politics and served in the army, but also a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty. He pioneered the poetry style of the Tang Dynasty and was also passed down in poetry in history.
In the preface to "Xiuzhu Pian", Chen Ziang denounced the formalist style of poetry between Qi and Liang in the Six Dynasties that advocated beauty. He believes that the beauty and complexity of Xingjidu and the meandering and decadent elegance are all disadvantages of creation. He misses the character of the Han and Wei Dynasties and the sound of Zhengshi, and hopes to have poems that have a clear character, a rhythm of tone, a clear and elegant style, and a completely unified content and form like the sound of gold and stone. This kind of poetry must not only have sustenance and ideals inspired by reality, that is, it must be interesting; it must also have a clear and vigorous style that contains substantial ideological content, that is, it must have character. His poetry creations such as "Feelings of Encounter", "Looking at Ancient Times at Ji Qiu" and "Song of Dengyouzhou" are exactly the practice of this theoretical proposition.
Chen Ziang is the founder of poetry in the Tang Dynasty. It is natural for him to be valued and recognized by future generations.
Li Bai, the immortal poet, called Chen Ziang and Bao Zhao, a famous poet in the Southern Dynasties, both rare unicorns and phoenixes in the world ("Giving Monk Xingrong").
Du Fu, the poet sage, made a special trip to Shehong and wrote "Chen's Former Residence", "The Remains of Chen Gong's School Found in Jinhua Mountain Viewing in Winter", and "Sending the Appointment of Li Shijun to Zizhou" , "Ambition" and other poems. He called Chen Ziang a sage who could shine as brightly as the sun and the moon:
A talented person can succeed in elegance, but a philosopher and craftsman cannot compete with him.
After Gongsheng Yangma, his name is linked to the sun and the moon. ...
Loyalty has been established through the ages, and there is a posthumous chapter in "Ganyu".
Han Yu, the leader of the ancient prose movement, said in the poem "Recommending Scholars":
When the country's articles flourished, its sons began to perform high.
Li Du is so prosperous that all kinds of people are trapped and bullied.
Bai Juyi, the leader of the New Yuefu Movement and a great realist poet, combined Chen Ziang with Du Fu: Du Fu and Chen Ziang were famous all over the world ("Collected Poems of the Early Tang Dynasty").
At the same time, he received such high praise from the three great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi, and Chen Ziang's prominent position in the history of literature was established. Five hundred years later, the Jin Dynasty poet Yuan Haowen (also known as Yishan) even ran across the calligraphy and ink field in the Shen Song Dynasty.
In terms of merit, it is as accurate as Wu's case.
Co-authored "Golden Cast Zi'ang".
praise. He said that Chen Ziang, like King Gou Jian of Yue and Prime Minister Fan Li, had made great achievements in revitalizing and establishing the country. He should have a golden statue made of him to commemorate and worship him forever.
Chen Ziang was admired by generations of emperors for his noble moral integrity and admiration for his unparalleled talent in literature. In the sixth year of Wanli (771), Li Shuming, the governor of Dongchuan, was named Yongzhao Wenxiong, so he placed the stele of Chen Gong Jiande in the reading room. After that, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties continued to build pavilions and erect statues. The name was also changed from Reading Hall and Chen Gong School to Reading Desk.
In the 10th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1830), the reading desk was moved to the back mountain. In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), further construction was carried out, and the reading desk began to take shape.
The current reading desk is surrounded by towering ancient trees and walls. Climbing up the stairs, you enter the main entrance with four characters inlaid with broken porcelain as an ancient reading desk, and you pass through the corridor to the Feeling Room. In the center of the hall is a full-length white marble statue of young Chen Ziang. On the back wall of the statue are engraved 38 poems of "Gantong" by Chen Ziang. On the back of the wall is engraved "Farewell Biography of Mr. Chen Boyu" written by Lu Zangyong of the Tang Dynasty. Connecting to the Ganyu Hall is the Shiyi Pavilion. Beyond the pavilion is a garden, with a hall on the left and a boathouse on the right. At the end of the garden is the Mingyuan Pavilion with four hexagonal columns. This pavilion stands on the highest point of the mountain. Standing on the railing and looking out into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the Fujiang River. People will burst out from the bottom of their hearts. This is really a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is not unreasonable to call Tuopai Qujiu an old famous wine and trace its history back to the spring wine of the Tang Dynasty. Although Tuopai Qujiu and Tang Dynasty Chunjiu are separated by more than a thousand years, they are produced in the same place, use the same water, and are affected by the same natural and cultural environment. And technically speaking, Tuopai Qujiu has indeed inherited the traditional craftsmanship of spring wine. It belongs to the Shehong wine culture together with the spring wine of the Tang Dynasty, and is the two great fruits of this culture.
When did Shehong winemaking originate? It is said that in ancient times, the ancestors here used the natural fermentation of millet to make wine, and later made enzyme wine. Judging from the texts that can be seen now, Shehong Chunsha was already famous in the Tang Dynasty. It can be inferred from this that Shehong had a long history of wine making before the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, we lack documentation on this period of wine history and cannot say more. Let’s still talk about the Spring Bar in the Tang Dynasty.
Among the documents about Shehongchun Wine, the most famous one is Du Fu’s poem "Ambition", which directly mentions Shehongchun Wine. This poem was once carved in stone on Jinhua Mountain, but it has long been destroyed. The inscription we see now in front of Chunyang Pavilion on Jinhua Mountain was copied from the rubbing. According to research, the ink is indeed from the hand of the poet sage, and is Du Fu's handwriting carved on stone, which is extremely precious.
It was midwinter of the first year of Baoying (762) when Du Fu arrived in Shehong. He came to pay homage to his predecessor, the poet Chen Ziang. It was 62 years since Chen Ziang died unjustly. Du Fu admired this senior very much, thinking that he was as talented and elegant as he was a philosopher and craftsman. Moreover, they both served in the same official position, so he sympathized with Chen Ziang's unfortunate life experience. When he was in Mianyang, Du Fu once wrote a poem asking Li Shijun, who took office in Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan), to pay homage to Chen Ziang on his behalf: When you go to Shehong County, you will be in tears for me. Now he has come to Shehong in person, which shows the depth of his feelings.
When Du Fu went to Shehong this time, he visited the ruins of Chen Ziang Academy in Jinhua Mountain and the former residence at the foot of Wudong Mountain, and wrote "The Relics of Chen Ziang Academy in Jinhua Mountain Viewed in Winter" and " "Chen Shiyi's Former Residence", and also wrote the previously mentioned song "Ambition". The whole poem "Ambition" is as follows:
North of Jinhua Mountain and west of Fulishui River,
The windy day in mid-winter begins to be miserable.
The mountains are connected to the three Shu,
The water is scattered in Bayu and flows down to five streams.
The solitary crane does nothing to dance,
The hungry crow seems to want to crow at people.
The wine in Shehongchun is still green when it is cold,
Who can help me when my eyes are so sad and my mind is hurting.
What the poet writes here is the sorrow of Ji Qi.
The poem mentions Shehong spring wine. The original intention is of course not to praise, but the love for spring wine implicit in it is self-evident.
After Du Fu stayed in Shehong for a while, he went to Tongquan. Du Fu visited Guo Yuanzhen's former residence in Tongquan and viewed Xue Ji's original paintings and calligraphy. He also met Wang Shiyu, an old acquaintance in Chang'an. At that time, Shiyu was in charge of the correction and promotion of Bailiao. Jade Shiyu was an honored guest when he came to Tongquan, so splendid banquets were naturally indispensable, and Du Fu often attended to accompany him. Therefore, Du Fu's poems written in Tongquan include more chapters related to wine: "Accompanying the king to attend a banquet with Tongquan at the Dongshan Pavilion" and "Accompanying the emperor to have a banquet at the highest summit of Dongshan with Yao Tongquan carrying wine across the river in the evening" that are related to wine. The poem "Accompanying the King's Imperial Guards at a Banquet in the Wild Pavilion on the East Mountain of Tongquan" goes like this:
The river flows eastward, and the clear bottles tilt again and again every day.
We have feasts in different places, but where is the capital?
The pavilion faces the mountains and rivers, and the village smoke faces the Pusha.
When you sing wildly and meet the situation, you become home when you are drunk.
Tongquan Dongshan Yeting is located near the current Tuopaiqu Distillery. Although the poet did not indicate that the wine he drank was Shehong Spring Wine, judging from the situation at the time, it must have been it.
Writing this, we can’t help but feel a little regretful that Chen Ziang, the pride of Shehong, did not mention Shehong spring wine in the many poems he left behind. In "Two Poems of Farewell to Friends on a Spring Night" written by Zha Zi'ang, there are lines like silver candles blowing out blue smoke and gold bottles celebrating a feast. These two poems were written in the first year of Wu Zhou Guangzhai's reign (684) when Chen Ziang went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to submit a letter. Of course, Shehong Chun wine should be used when entertaining friends in one’s hometown.
The fact that Chen Ziang was related to wine was also recorded in Volume 179 of "Taiping Guangji". Chen Ziang went to Chang'an for the first time and stayed there for ten years but was still unknown. There is a Huqin seller in Chang'an East Market, asking for a million dollars. There are a large number of people watching every day, but no one buys. Chen Ziang squeezed into the group and ordered everyone to buy it with thousands of dollars in their cars. The people around were shocked, and Zi Ang replied that Yu Shan was happy. If anyone wanted to hear something, Chen Ziang showed them where to stay and told them to prepare a banquet for them tomorrow. The next morning, more than a hundred people who were quite prestigious at the time came to Chen's house. Zi'ang held a banquet. After eating, Chen Zi'ang held up the huqin and said to everyone: I, Chen Zi'ang of Western Shu, have hundreds of scrolls of literature. I came to the capital, but I am not known to anyone. This instrument is a workman's work, so why should it be taken seriously? Then he lifted up his huqin, smashed it to pieces, and presented his poems to those who came. As a result, within one day, the city was filled with glory. As for what spring wine is and why it is still green in the cold, the explanations of the past dynasties are inconsistent. It is generally believed that the wine brewed in winter and matured in spring is spring wine, and cold still green refers to the clear green color of spring wine. Shehongchun wine was already well-known in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was often used as a drink among literati and poets. Wang Zhuo, a scholar from Suining in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "He Rong'an Zhong Er Jue": It says: Shehongchun wine was well-known in the past. The popularity of spring wine has also brought about the development of the wine industry. In the Song Dynasty, there were more than 200 spring wine workshops in Shehong and Tongquan counties. During the Taiping and Xingguo years, the traditional process of spring wine was improved, and steamed wax fermented wine was brewed. From spring to autumn, it was brewed into a clear and mellow wine. By the fifth year of Shaoxi's reign in the Song Dynasty (1194), the wine trade had become the key point of Tongchuan Prefecture. The county set up a wine minister to take charge of the wine administration and collect wine taxes. Unfortunately, by the end of the Song Dynasty, Shehong and Tongquan counties were on the verge of war, leaving the land desolate after the war, and the spring wine industry was also devastated. After Tongquan was merged into Shehong in 1283, the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, the technology of steaming pavilion wine was introduced. Some workshops integrated it with the traditional spring wine process to brew liquor with the traditional spring wine flavor.
Perhaps because Du Fu mentioned Shehong Spring Wine in his poem, Shehong Spring Wine has become synonymous with Shehong. As long as Shehong is mentioned, spring wine will be thought of. Wines are named after people, and Shehongchun wine has been passed down from generation to generation along with the name of the poet sage, and is known throughout the country. In the 49th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1710), Tang Linxiang, a Jinshi from Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, went to Shehong to serve as the magistrate of Shehong County. Yangzhou poet Zhu Tingxuan presented a poem to Tang Linxiang, the eunuch, as magistrate of Shehong County, saying:
The spring wine in Shehong is still green when it is cold,
I was ridiculed for more poems.
The music of the piano is beginning to sound warm, and the flowers are warm,
The smoke from the furnace is thin and the cranes are passing by.
Sit and watch the crickets of Yue and the Qing and Han Dynasties, and watch the green waves rising around the Bajiang River.
I don’t have trouble sleeping in my noon dream,
I sing drunkenly in the depths of the night.
Later, Chen, a scholar from Wu (now Jiaxing), also wrote a poem praising it:
She Hongchun was delicious with wine, and he once recorded a Shaoling poem.
Only to pay off the salary, you should also take over. The road is easy if you pack lightly, but it's too late to board the boat if the gorge is dangerous.
The letter will be sent by mail someday, and I will leave the pipe as a legacy.
This shows that the influence of Shehongchun wine has been long and the territory is vast.
Shehong wine experienced new development in the Ming Dynasty, among which the most famous one was Xie wine brewed by Xie Dongshan. Xie Jiu inherited and developed the traditional craftsmanship of spring wine in the Tang Dynasty, and also accumulated brewing experience for the later Tuopai Qujiu wine craft. Xie Dongshan, whose courtesy name is Yangsheng and whose nickname is Gaoquan. A native of Xiejiaba (now part of Wangyemiao Village in the south of the city) in the southern suburbs of Taihe Town, Shehong. In the 20th year of Jiajing reign (1541), he became a Jinshi. He was appointed as the head of the Ministry of War, and became the censor of Youjindu. He once patrolled Shandong. He has compiled 40 volumes of "Jinjixuan Collection", 40 volumes of "Shichao", 3 volumes of "Shihua", (1 volume of "Zhongyong Collection", 26 volumes of "Guiyang Tu Kao", 29 volumes of "Ming Dynasty Poetry Notes" , edited and corrected the 12th volume of "Jiajing·Guizhou Tongzhi". During his official travels, he went deep into the folk of Jimo and other places where old wine was produced, inspected the winemaking techniques, searched for the craftsmanship, and learned the winemaking technology-Yijiu method. Taking advantage of the good natural conditions of Yongquan Mountain near his home, which is densely forested, contains water sources, has very prosperous springs, and flows into the Fujiang River, he set up his own workshop and conducted experiments, applying the Yijiu method to the traditional brewing process of spring wine, solid-state fermentation, and solid-state fermentation. Distillation. Use Shehong grains of large and uniform sorghum, glutinous rice, and wheat as raw materials, use Yongquan mountain water as the brewing water, mix the sorghum, glutinous rice, and wheat in a constant temperature room, and put it for one year to brew. The wine was sealed and stored for many years, and finally a new wine with a traditional spring wine flavor and unique characteristics was produced. The wine is rich and fragrant, refreshing, and it is as sweet as a drink, and it is like a fairy in the world. It is called Mi De Xianjiu. After this wine came out, it became famous. People in Shu called it Xiejiu. The brewing technology and quality of Xiejiu have been a step further than before, and the advantages of spring wine have been further promoted, making the hometown of fine wines. After drinking this wine, Sichuan Fujun Rao Jinghui was so impressed that he wrote a poem to praise it:
The spring wine of Shehong is still there today,
A phrase that was repeated back then. Taste the title.
Xiang Shi Shaoling knew this taste,
should also be included in the new poem with the wine.
The thanksgiving wine should be regarded as the re-creation of the spring wine. , I believe that if the poet Du Fu tasted this wine, he would definitely write a new poem. The Shaoling here is Du Fu, because Du Fu once lived near Shaoling in the south of the city when he was in Chang'an. He called himself Shaoling Yelao, and later generations called him Shaoling or Shaoling. Du Shaoling.
In the Qing Dynasty, the wine industry in Shehong flourished, and Xiejiu became popular. However, during the Qianlong period, there were more than 100 workshops brewing Xiejiu in the county, and most of the county's grain was consumed. Making wine. It is customary for people to drink wine to express their gratitude during festivals and auspicious nights. In the early summer of the first year, Jiajing magnates Zhao Xieyuan, Feng Xuanyou, Nie Hun'an, Zhang Yingtang, Zhang Yuanfeng and Wan'e were indispensable to drink wine. Qiu, Yang Songyan and others gathered at Wu Chunpu's home. Feng Xuanyou and Wu Chunpu were both eighty years old, and Wan'eqiu was eighty-five years old. They drank Shehong wine to celebrate their birthdays, and the host wrote a poem to congratulate him:
The beautiful green water garden and the beautiful river,
The beautiful scenery of Jinhua and the mist of the river.
The host hangs a couch to store fine wines,
to entertain guests. The flowers are like the old fate.
It is a blessing to retire from office.
The wind and moon are full of joy.
The birthday girl should meet again on this day.
Three people from the Eighth Rank of the Qing Dynasty entered the year.
During the Daoguang period, Xia Shaoyong also used Shehong fine wine to entertain his friends, and wrote a book titled "Guanghan Academy invites Hu Ruoqing to bid farewell". The poem goes:
The spring breeze blows the green trees in the courtyard,
The jade pot is poured in the light of birch candles
The clear chant wants to connect with He Shuibu,
p>
Don’t be afraid of Li Jinwu when traveling at night.
If you meet a celebrity in Beiyuan, you must write a picture of the elegant gathering in the West Garden.
From then on, Guanghan added stories,
There were fairy birds at the moon palace.
Xiejiu was still a popular wine in the late Qing Dynasty. After the early years of the Republic of China, due to the popularity of liquor, Xiejiu gradually lost its status. Only one or two workshops in Liushutuo followed this craft. During the reign of Guangxu, Li Ji'an, a native of the city, opened a wine shop named Jin Taixiang in Liushutuo, south of Shehong City. Jin Taixiang opened a wine shop in the front and a workshop in the back, producing and selling his own products.
Because Li obtained the true inheritance of Shehong Chun Liquor and drew water from the local Tuo Spring at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, the wine produced was rich in flavor, sweet and mellow, and was deeply loved by drinkers, so it was named Jin Taixiang Daqu Liquor. As a result, Jintaifang's business is booming, and every day the door is filled with drinkers and all seats are occupied. There are also people who sell wine to drink at home or to give as gifts to relatives and friends. For a time, Jin Taixiang's reputation was so great that it was known to all women and children within a hundred miles. There is an endless stream of people coming to sell wine, and there is a long queue in front of the door. Due to Jin Taixiang Daqu Liquor's sophisticated ingredients, complex craftsmanship, and limited production, some drinkers come here every day but leave with regrets because the wine has been sold out, and they have to queue up again the next day. Seeing this, the shop owner Li couldn't bear it, so she made a number of small wooden signs with the character "Tuo" written on them and numbered them, and distributed them to those who queued up but could not buy the wine that day. With the number plate with the "Tuo" character, they could be given priority to buy wine the next day. The move was welcomed by drinkers. Since then, it has become a major feature of Jin Taixiang to give priority to buying wine based on the Tuo brand. Local wine drinkers and villagers call Jin Taixiang Daqu Liquor Tuopai Qu Liquor. In the early years of the Republic of China, Ma Tianqu, a member of the Qing Dynasty, returned to his hometown to retire. After drinking this wine, he felt extremely sweet. Seeing the sign with the name Tuo again, he exclaimed: Tuo is the true source of the river! Jin Taixiang uses Tuo as his card, which means moisturizing the world! This wine will definitely become a hit in the future! So he took the opportunity to write down the four characters of Tuopai Qujiu, and ordered Li to use this as the name of the wine, in order to satisfy the people's desire to drink wine, and to embody the meaning of Tuoquan brewing fine wine, and the brand's reputation will last forever. He also predicted that Tuopai Qujiu would be famous in China and benefit the whole country in the future! The owner Li Jian readily agreed. From then on, Jin Taixiang Daqu Liquor was officially renamed Tuopai Qu Liquor, which is still in use today. Just as Lao Juren expected, Tuopai Qujiu has already developed and grown, becoming a giant aircraft carrier in the Chinese liquor industry, truly famous in China and benefiting the country!
