2 Different Origins of Wine
2.1 The Origin of Wine in China About the origin of wine, Chinese claims that wine is brewed with many kinds of technology by people, while the westerners think wine is originally created by god. In Chinese history, it is of long standing, and the old sayings about the born of wine are a lot. However, generally speaking, people prefer to consider the saying of Du Kang brewing wine is correct. It is said that Du Kang was a shepherd, when he was in grazing; he lost a vessel made from bamboo that contained millet congee. Several days after, he got it back and he found the millet congee fermented into tangy mellow nectar. From then on, Du Kang abandoned grazing and started to make and sell wine. As a consequence, Du Kang became the famous sage of wine. Then, Du Kang not only referred to the person’s name, but also the wine’s name. Therefore, Du Kang became the forefather of wine—making. 2.2 The Origin of Wine in The West There are also a lot of origins in the west, but mostly thought that wine is created by god, and it is the gift for human given by god. The ancient Egyptian think wine is made by Osiris who protects the dead, and Greece people think wine is brought by the god of wine named Dionysus, it is not only the gift given by the god of wine, but also the symbol of people’s harvest. According to the legend, Dionysus was the son of Zeus and the princess of Thebes named Himmler. He grew up in Asia Minor Thrace and Greece, and taught people growing grapes and the technology of making wine everywhere. Then the wine became gradually prevailing in Europe. The god of wine with his followers strolls here and there, so where they wandered where had the fragrance of wine. 2.3 Brief Summary In contrast, although Chinese has the words such as \drinkers or the laudatory names of the drinkers. Both of them have nothing to do with myth, and of course they are different with Dionysus in the western culture. In the current cross-cultural communication, it is need to be distinguished. And beyond the myth, archaeological studies showed that in the late neolithic, Eastern Asia and China (Yellow River basin and Yangtze River basin) and Western Asia and North Africa (two river basins and the Nile river basin) had begun farming revolution. While in the early stages of the impergium, the ancients of the east and the west almost simultaneously began artificially wine-making in the progress of planting crops. 2
