In ancient China, wine was regarded as a sacred substance, and the use of wine was a solemn thing.

The custom and style of ancient wine activities.

With the popularity of brewing industry, wine has gradually become the daily life of people, and liquor activities have also been widespread. It has been stylized by people's ideological and cultural awareness, forming a relatively systematic custom of wine.

These customs involve many aspects of people's production and life, and their forms are lively and varied.

Wine and folk customs are indispensable.

Such activities as farm festivals, weddings and funerals, birthday dates, celebrations and ceremonies, and guests are the central materials.

If there is no wine, Burmese ancestors, the pursuit of abundant harvest and affluence, there is no sustenance; no marriage, no wine, old age and loyalty, but no love for the funeral, no expression of loyalty and filial piety for posterity; no wine for birthday banquet, no show of life and rites; no farewell to the dust, no wine, no heroic feelings for heroes.

In short, no wine or propriety, no wine, no custom.

As early as the Xia, Shang and Wednesday dynasties, wine and people's customs and etiquette have been closely linked and formulated and systematized.

At that time, the use of tillers made the wine making industry develop unprecedentedly, and the phenomenon of heavy drinking in society was very important.

Liquor activities are widely used in customs and farming.

In the summer of October, the villagers used to drink in local schools in October: "frost in September," in October, "Friends of the sun" and "kill the lamb in Japan".

"(Book of Songs. July)" this poem depicts a custom painting in the rural areas in the pre Qin period.

After harvesting and clearing the threshing grounds and farming, the people who had worked hard for a year slaughtered the lamb and came to the country school. They set up two bottles of wine, invited friends to drink together, raised the horn cup and wished each other a lot.

In Zhou Dai's customs, there are eight kinds of ceremonies: crowns, fainties (marriage), mourning, sacrifices, townships, shooting, hiring, and Chao.

For example, when a man is twenty years old, he has to pay a crown to show that he has become an adult. In the crown ceremony, he congratulated himself on reaching maturity.

This is the holy water of blessing life.

Zhou Dai's marriage custom has been standardized and stylized. From marriage to marriage, a system has been formed. Every link has special stress. If a man is in a relationship with a woman, she will ask the media to propose a marriage. After the girl has promised, there will still be a process of Nai CAI, asking the name and Naji.

When the wedding date comes, "the father will meet the fate, and the son will inherit the past. He will go into the wild goose. He will go out for a ride, so that he can go back to his wife's door, lead the woman back, eat with the women, and drink together."

The newlyweds eat the meat after sacrifice, drink the newly married wine and drink the desire of white hair to the old.

Zhou Dai's fashionable shooting ceremony, although the level of three, but "all shoot, three times, the initial three coupling fire; then shoot three coupling and all coupling are fired; three shot, then the music festival shot, not win the drink."

Wine is the object of punishment for the losers in the shooting ceremony.
