Drinking alcohol can maintain health, and the ancients have long known about drinking for health.

Therefore, there is a saying that "for this spring wine, to Jiemei Shou, called the other, everything is boundless".

The experience of the ancients in drinking and maintaining health: the wine is based on the Chen, and the more you like it, the better it is.

Violent wine, refers to the hastily brewed wine, must not be drunk, drinking will hurt people, this is the first.

Alcohol abstains from acidity, abstinence, self-restraint, cruelty, and cold;

But what should be done?

Said: Not bitter, not sweet, not made, not sour, not spicy, is really good wine.

And why don't you talk about it?

Said: Talking is not about wine, not about precepts.

And why don't you say goodbye to sweetness?

Said: In the past, people had clouds, clear and fierce first, bitter second, sour second, smelly second, sweet and lower.

How can you drink it if it smells sour?

And sweetness is below, and there is no need to list precepts.

He also said: It is difficult to take any of the five flavors, that is, bitter, sour, spicy, sweet, and any of the five flavors are not prominent in one drink.

Those who cover bitter, sweet, formed, sour, and refiner must not be old.

If it can be aged, it will become a good wine.

It is a word that can be used as the surname of wine.

Due to the limited conditions, although the ancients could not accurately determine the various components of the wine, their experience obtained in the long-term practice of life is very scientific.

This is because the higher the alcohol content of the liquor, the higher the harmful components.

For example, compared with distilled spirits and fermented spirits, harmful components are mainly present in distilled spirits, while there are relatively few in the middle of fermented spirits.

In addition to high ethanol, the highly distilled spirits also contain fusel oil (including pentanol, pentanol, isobutanol, propanol, etc.), aldehydes (including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glycaldehyde, etc.), methanol, hydroxylic acid, lead, aflatoxins and other harmful components.

People will be poisoned if they drink low-quality liquor with a high content of harmful ingredients for a long time or in excess.

Mild cases may cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, stomach problems, cough, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision, while severe cases may cause difficulty breathing, coma, and even death.

However, low-degree fermented wines and prepared wines, such as rice wine, fruit wine, medicinal wine, milk, etc., have very few harmful components, but are rich in sugars, organic acids, amino acids, sweet wine, dextrin, vitamins and other nutrients.

At the beginning, the ancients believed that the liquor with high quality and conducive to prolonging life mainly included rice wine, osmanthus wine, chrysanthemum wine, pepper wine, etc., and later developed into liquor and various medicinal liquors with liquor as raw materials.

The fermented rice wine is one of the oldest liquors in China.

It is rich in chlorine acids, a variety of sugars, organic acids, vitamins, etc., and has a high calorific value, and has been regarded as a "fairy wine" and "precious pulp" for health and fitness since ancient times.

Osmanthus wine was drunk by the ancients, there is a saying of "steamed orchid with Hui cuisine, laying cinnamon wine with pepper pulp", the osmanthus wine used in this sacrificial ceremony is the osmanthus wine made with osmanthus flowers, also called cinnamon sugar, osmanthus vinegar, cinnamon syrup.

The ancients believed that cinnamon was the long of a hundred medicines, so the wine made from osmanthus could be "drunk for a dry year".

Osmanthus wine is a good product for people to worship the gods and ancestors, after the sacrifice is completed, the younger generations toast this wine to the elders, and the elders will live a long life after drinking this wine.

In addition, osmanthus wine is also the best product for people to entertain guests.

Chrysanthemums have the effect of "prolonging the life of the auxiliary body, the value of Moss", and people believe that the flowers, leaves, roots, and responsibilities of chrysanthemums are all elixirs.

Because the chrysanthemum is Shushi, and pick the stems and leaves, mixed millet rice is brewed, until September 9 of the next year, it is drunk, so it is called chrysanthemum wine.

The ancients believed that chrysanthemums were flowers that did not wither after frost, so chrysanthemum wine could be anti-aging.

In medicine, chrysanthemum has the effects of removing wind, brightening the eyes, calming the liver, clearing heat, etc., and is especially beneficial to the hearing and vision of the elderly, so the ancient chrysanthemum wine is very popular.

In addition, pepper and cypress wine, jupu wine, wolfberry wine, lotus wine, ginseng wine, cocos wine and other tonic wines are also good wines for health and longevity.

The purpose of drinking is to "borrow things for support," not to "serve as a thing."

In view of the harm of drinking alone, the ancients have been committed to using legal means to prohibit alcohol, and using moral discipline to persuade people to consciously abstain from drinking and quitting alcohol.

Because there are many kinds of alcohol, its taste is sweet, bitter, sour, light, pungent and astringent, and its nature is hot and poisonous.

Many times help fire and phlegm, faint and soft, damage muscles and bones, hurt the spleen and stomach, consume lung qi, and die a lifetime.

After drinking wine and teaching a slight drunkenness. This is the wonder of drinking, the so-called drunk fun, pot in the sky.

If the husband's condition is excessive, and he is drunk as the norm, he will cause illness and defeat at the least, or even lose his country and family and lose his life.

If a person drinks too much alcohol for a long time, his life expectancy will be shortened by 10 to 12 years.

Some people may think that drinking alcohol is a very simple thing to do, but it is not.

Drinking is actually a high-level artistic enjoyment, and there is a lot of learning. In ancient times, people not only paid attention to the quality of alcohol and emphasized moderation of drinking, but also paid great attention to the environment and methods of drinking, such as when to drink, when not to drink, where to drink, what to drink, how to drink, etc., there are many rules and exquisiteness.

For example, about the ideal environment for drinking, such as drinking people: elegant, declining, straightforward, forgetful, confidant, old friend, jade, Kerr.

Drinking ground: under the flowers, bamboo forest, high room, painting boat, secluded hall, curved stone room, Pingxi, lotus pavilion.

In addition, spring drinking is suitable for gardening, summer drinking is effective, autumn drinking is suitable for boating, winter drinking is suitable for room, and night drinking is suitable for moon.

The drinking conditions are: spring effect, flower time, autumn love, petal green, inch fog, snow, crescent moon, and evening cool.

Drinking fun: light, wonderful, chanting, incense, passing flowers, music, returning, around the hearth.

Drinking prohibition: birthday, supper, bitter persuasion, disputes, avoidance of alcohol, bad rhyme, filth, feigned drunkenness.

Drinking: walking, singing, standing on stones, dividing, fishing, shore, boiling springs, throwing pots.

Specifically, the experience and method of drinking alcohol of the ancients are mainly manifested in the state of mind when drinking.

The ancients believed that alcohol should not be drunk indiscriminately, and should only be consumed if it is physically and emotionally normal.

Do not drink alcohol when you are unwell, overly sad or angry, otherwise it will be harmful to your health.

According to the theory of medicine, when people are angry, the liver qi is reversed, the face is red, the ears are red, the headache is dizzy, if the alcohol is drunk again, plus the effect of ethanol, it is like adding fuel to the fire, and it is more appropriate to lose control, so as to cause unimaginable consequences.

In order to achieve the best mood when drinking, the ancients also explored methods that can still be imitated:

Choose the right time: such as the cool moon and good wind, the snow when it rains, the flowers are full of flowers, the first ripening of new wine, the old friends, drinking when they are reunited after a long absence, can achieve the wish of both guests and hosts, and the wind and dry in the sun, the bad rain, near the twilight, irritable, uninvited, and when there is another period, it is not suitable to drink.

Choose the right occasion: Whether it is under the moon before the flowers, in the open-air in the middle of the boat, or in the house restaurant, as long as it makes people feel elegant and comfortable, it is the best occasion for drinking.

The ancients had the habit of "mountain drinking", "water drinking", "suburban drinking" and "wild drinking", and they liked to drink alcohol during sightseeing.

Therefore, the place where they drink is often not in the elegant halls, not in the downtown areas, but on the top of the mountains, on the banks of streams, or in the suburbs, in the cuiwei.

Being in the beautiful scenery of the mountains and waters, breathing in the fresh air, will make people pleasing to the eye, relaxed and happy, and the drinking pleasure will naturally multiply.

In addition to their children and grandchildren, most of the ancients liked to get together with friends and drink for fun.

In fact, the purpose of their gathering is not to eat and drink, but mainly to move their muscles and bones and relax their body and mind.

The ancestors drank more warm drinks, and the wine warming vessels in them are powerful proof. Why should wine be drunk lukewarm?

People say: "All drinking should be warm, not hot", but drinking cold wine is not good, thinking that "drinking cold wine becomes a battle".

People know the harm of hot wine, but they don't know that cold wine is especially harmful.

Hot wine can definitely hurt the lungs, but the work of qi and blood is the majority; cold wine does not hurt the lungs, but the stomach is cold, and drinking too much of it will cause Lang to stagnate.

And for the pavilion drink, the cover is neither lukewarm nor hot, suitable for neutralization, and there is no harm.

Because in addition to ethanol, there are also harmful substances such as methanol, fusel oil, furfural, butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde, acetaldehyde, and lead.

Methanol is harmful to vision, 10 milliliters of methanol can cause blindness in the eyes, and even more intake can be life-threatening.

Methanol is heated with boiling water or alcohol fire, and it becomes a gas that evaporates.

Acetaldehyde is the main component of the pungent smell of wine, and excessive inhalation can cause dizziness and other drunken phenomena, which can be volatilized with slightly warmer water.

At the same time, in the process of heating the wine, the alcohol will also volatilize, so that the harmful components in the wine will be much less, and the damage to the human body will be less.

Of course, the temperature of the wine should not be increased too high, if the wine is overheated, it will hurt the body, and the second is that the ethanol volatilizes too much, and no matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless.

Many people often pay attention to toasting when drinking, and it seems that the dryness of a cup is painful and bold.

In fact, it is not right to drink alcohol like this, because the correct way to drink is to drink slowly and slowly.

Don't drink too much, otherwise it will damage the stomach and lungs.

The lungs are the most important part of the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs.

Drinking alcohol should not be rough and fast, and rough and fast will hurt the lungs. The lungs are covered with five internal organs, which are not allowed to be injured, and they are vulgar and tasteless.

Eating and drinking should be done slowly, so that the taste can be tasted, and it also helps digestion, so as not to cause excessive burden on the spleen and stomach.
