happinessin their lives In China a banquet known as "jiuxi" meansan alcohol banquet and the life of every person frombirth to death should have pauses for drinkingbanquets starting a month or 100 days after a babysbirth when the parents invite people in for a drinkWhen someone builds a new house marries starts abusiness makes a fortune or lives a long life he shouldinvite people in for a drinking session In modern timesit is a pity that the games that go with drink are not theelegant ones of the past that involved poetry or musicToday drinkers just play simple finger guessing gamesalong with a lot of heavy drinking It also seems todaythat friendship depends only on the volume of drinkbeing consumed "If we are good friends then bottomup if not then just take a sip" is a common phrasedexchanged during gatherings As we know China has 56nationalities and a wide range of territory Thereisvaried drinking custom for different nationalitiesKorean "aged wine"The wine is brewing before "Rosh Hashanah" whichis equal to the New Year of Han people Rice is the mainmaterial of aged wine with the mixture of BalladSalamanders and cinnamon and other kinds oftraditional Chinese herbal medicine It is a wine similarto "Su Tu Wine" with different prescription medicinesIt is used to drink during the spring and to treat people Drinking this kind of wine is believed to live longevity2 Major Holiday Drinking CustomsSeveral major Chinese festival of the year have a corresponding drinking activities such as the Dragon Boat Festival drink "calamus wine" Suspended drink "chrysanthemum wine" In some places such as Jiangxipeople gathered to drink after planting the cereal cropor to celebrate the harvest time Chinese New Year alsois known as New Years Eve It is the day for family reunion to have the most sumptuous dinner of the yearDinner and wine are essential to the even poorest familyIn some places people generally do not leave the houseon the first day of the first lunar month From thesecond day people begin to drop around The owner ofthe house takes the dishes which have been preparedearlier to the table and enjoy the wine with the guests" liquor of daughter in the south"According to the earliest record by the "SouthernGrasses" that the southern people began to make winewhen their daughter was several years old Then theybury the brewed wine when their daughter got marriedThis kind of wine was inherited in Shaoxing anddeveloped to be famous as "Huadiao jiu"Another difference exists in the custom ofdrinking wine As is known to us China is a big countrywith 56 nationalities and vast territory Most of thenations have its own distinctive wine and custom ofdrinking wine However there still exists the commoncharacter encouraging people to drink While inwestern countries no one will encourage you to drink Itis up to you to drink or not No one would associatetoasting people with the face It there exists buyingwine culture that is today I buy the wine for you in abar tomorrow you will buy for meWine culture brings about the difference ofideology of flows Wine culture that caused greateffect ion the east and west civilization is embodied inthe feminism In the west fete is an important meansof worship of wine The housewives and girls gathered inwild mountains to dance and enjoy themselves the wholenight Women could communicate with any peopleAlthough the man was discontented with this he couldnot have any complaints This tradition was handed downAs a result women got almost the same status with theman in the west The worship of wine came along withthe mysterious worship of maternity which rippled inthe civilization of the westIt was not the case in China Although at thebeginning the wine was brewed for the daughter of Yuwomen were deprived of right of drinking wine by manThe girls in The Dream of Red Mansion mostly drankfruit wine The liquor repetitive of wine was the patentof men such as Jia Zheng The status of women wasgradually promoted after the spread of western cultureduring the period of Fourth Five Women have the sameright of drinking wine in modern timesB The Similarities of Wine Culture1 Having a Beautiful Legend about the Origin of theWineAlthough there is much difference of wine culturebetween China and western countries we can notneglect the similarities In the first place both Chinaand western countries have a beautiful legend about theorigin of the wine In China some people think that DuKang invented the method to make wine with a historyof 4000years while other people think that Yi Di wasthe first person to brew wine However there is abasically clear record about the origin of wine In thewest though there is a not clear historicalrecord abeautiful legend about the origin of wine was handeddown It was said that an ancient Persian king sealed theremnant grapes in the barrel and labeled the word"poison" to prevent others from eating them There wasa concubine disfavored by the king and lived painfullyopportunely to see the poison barrel and wanted to dieat that time She opened it and drunk for a few mouthsShe felt not painful but a sense of intoxication whenshe was waiting to die Then she told the king thematter A test is unavoidable This of course is abeautiful legend But the wine indeed enhanced theenjoyment of mankind2 The Wine is a Kind of Cultural Symbolism of WineSpiritIn the second place the world culture has thesurprising similarities In the realm of literature andart the wine spirit is everywhere and affects theliterature craftsmen deeply in that freeness art andbeauty is united Freeness reaches art and art producesbeauty To get the free state of art with intoxication isan important channel to get rid of bind and get theability of creation by the ancient Chinese arts Withouta doubt wine occupies an important place in the cultureand life of the Chinese people Wine was intimatelyconnected with most Chinese men of letters It was alsoan inseparable part of the life of ordinary Chinesepeople The banquets of ancient emperors and kingscould not take place without it Every sort of wine vesselthus became an important kind if sacrificeobjectInscriptions on bones and tortoise shells aswell asbronze inscriptions preserve manyrecords ofShang-era people worshiping their ancestors with wineThere were many famous Chinese poets or artist whocrafted their masterpieces after getting "drunk" Thefamous poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty AD618-907 isknown as the "Immortal of Wine" because of his lovefor alcohol Guo Moruo a modern scholar compiledstatistics about Lis poems and found 17 percent ofthem were about drinking Early writers liked drinkingand thought it as an elegant way to pass the time Apartfrom the taste of the drink they also concentrated onthe process of drinking They created many games to gowith drinking sessions involving knowledge of historyliterature music and poetry In ancient times before abattle a general would feast his soldiers with alcoholand meat If they won the battle they would berewarded with good wine If a warrior fell in battle hisfellows would scatter wine on the ground as part of amemorial ceremony Lastly the similarities of ideologyflows leads to the birth of Romanticism and thedevelopment of the mainstream beliefs In the westthe worship of Bacus who is the divinity ofwine isstrengthened in the fight against civilization Theworshiper of Bacus disgusted in the produce ofcivilization They longed for intoxication of thebodyand spirit As a westerner put it the great things ofman in success mostly include the element ofintoxication The conflict between prudence andenthusiasm run through the history of the west so doesthe worship of drinking wine Nicai theorize this kind ofworship The romanticism philosophy of the west cameinto being In the east wine culture brought the effectof romanticism Romanticism stood up to realism all thetime although it had not the theoretic philosophyPoetry is his primogenitor of romanticism in ChinaWhen it came to Liangjin the romantic tinge of wineculture reached its first cli During the TangDynasty it reached its top No matter representativessuch as from Li Bai Li Shangyin or Bai Juyi to Su ShiXin Qiji og song Dynasty to Zheng Banqiao ofQingDynasty added abundant color to the brilliantcivilization of China3 The Development of the Mainstream BeliefsIn the west romanticism brought in mysticism ofChristianity In the ancient Greece a great manyoffaith was associated with Bacus The worship of themuzzy Bacus was the origin of mysticism in the westwhich affected many philosophers and broughtenlightenment and to the shapement of theology ofChristianity In the east the development of Taoismand Zen can not leave wine culture Zhuang Zhouadvocated the unity of heaven and man He sings theabsolutely free song with a cup in one hand and anotherhand writing poems after drinking wine He would preferto be the tortoise rather than the horse which wasastrict by man The essence and soul of the spirit ofwine is in pursuit of absolute freeness and oblivion ofinterest and honor and shameII The Way to Promote the Intercommunicationof Wine CultureA Launching International Communication ConferenceThe development of world wine culture depends on。

中英酒文化对比英语作文A Comparative Analysis of Chinese and British Drinking Cultures。

Introduction:In a world brimming with diverse customs and traditions, the drinking cultures of China and Britain stand out as notable examples. While both nations enjoy their libations, the manner in which they approach alcohol consumption reflects distinct societal values, historical influences, and cultural norms. This essay endeavors to compare and contrast the drinking cultures of China and Britain, shedding light on their unique characteristics and underlying meanings.Historical Context:To comprehend the contemporary drinking cultures of China and Britain, it is essential to delve into theirhistorical roots. In China, the tradition of alcohol consumption dates back thousands of years, intertwined with ancient rituals, philosophical beliefs, and social customs. From the ceremonial libations of the Zhou dynasty to the refined art of tea-infused liquors during the Tang dynasty, alcohol has played a multifaceted role in Chinese society, symbolizing hospitality, celebration, and communal harmony.In contrast, the drinking culture of Britain has been shaped by a blend of indigenous traditions and external influences. The introduction of beer by the Celts and the subsequent Roman occupation laid the foundation for a rich brewing heritage, which evolved over the centuries to include a diverse array of beverages, from ales and stouts to gins and whiskies. The pub culture, deeply ingrained in British society, serves as a focal point for social interaction, camaraderie, and conviviality.Social Dynamics:The social dynamics surrounding alcohol consumption differ significantly between China and Britain. In China,the act of drinking is often imbued with symbolic significance, reflecting hierarchical relationships, filial piety, and group cohesion. The tradition of toasting, known as "ganbei," underscores the importance of solidarity and mutual respect, as individuals raise their glasses to honor one another and affirm collective bonds.In contrast, the British approach to drinking is characterized by a more informal and egalitarian ethos, epitomized by the convivial atmosphere of pubs and taverns. Here, patrons from all walks of life gather to unwind, engage in lively conversation, and partake in communalrituals such as buying rounds of drinks. The pub serves asa democratic space where social barriers are often blurred, fostering a sense of inclusivity and camaraderie among its patrons.Cultural Significance:Beyond its social dimensions, the drinking culture of each nation carries profound cultural significance,reflecting broader values, norms, and aspirations. In China,alcohol is intricately linked to concepts of harmony, balance, and hospitality, as exemplified by the elaborate banquets of traditional Chinese cuisine, where the servingof fine wines and spirits signifies generosity and goodwill. Moreover, certain alcoholic beverages, such as baijiu, hold special cultural status, symbolizing prosperity, auspiciousness, and ritual purity.Similarly, in Britain, the consumption of alcohol is intertwined with notions of conviviality, sociability, and conviviality. The pub, as a quintessential institution of British life, embodies the ideals of community, fellowship, and collective identity. Moreover, British spirits such as gin and whisky have attained global renown, not only for their distinctive flavors but also for their cultural resonance, evoking images of misty moors, roaring fires,and convivial gatherings.Conclusion:In conclusion, the drinking cultures of China andBritain offer fascinating insights into the complexities ofhuman sociality, cultural expression, and historical continuity. While both nations share a deep appreciation for alcoholic beverages, their respective approaches to drinking reflect unique historical legacies, social dynamics, and cultural values. By examining these differences and similarities, we gain a deeper understanding of the diverse ways in which alcohol shapes and reflects the societies in which we live.。

Business EnglishClass: TwoName: LiFeiTutor: Ma TingtingAbstractThis paper gives a whole introduction about the differences between China and the west in wine culture.From the comparison of wine culture in the West, we can find that the difference between the culture of wine is actually a way of thinking in the West differences.Whether China is the booze or the West tasting, wine culture can all hope that the next time a relatively more and better wine, wine culture can be developed and inheritance, so that more people understand the culture of wine, Enjoy the wine culture!I am the principal of Liquor comparison of Chinese and Western culture, and focus on understanding the culture of winein China history of the development.Key words: wine culture;differences;China;the west1.The history of wine cultureIt is well-known to us that China's wine culture has 5000 years of history, has a long history of wine in our wine culture, the development of long-term process, making many as the “Shen Pin” 'Qiongjiang “wine treasures.China is ahead of the world's ancient civilizations, is the home of wine.China five thousand years of history, wine and liquor culture always occupies an important place.Wine is a special kind of food that belong to the material, but also with people's spiritual life.As a special kind of cultural forms , wine culture has a unique position in traditional Chinese cultural.I think in a different cultural background and different walks of life, different people, and even different frame of mind which was to understand the extent of different ways.For Chinese and Western culture, a different understanding of wine, the key is to make the best wine culture development, better for our services, which require the integration of Chinese and Western cultures of wine.Today, the West's wine culture to a large extent, the impact of China's wine culture, particularly in the tasting the mood in the West tend to be more, can hope to make more Westerners to understand China's fine tradition of wine culture.Talking about China's fine tradition of wine culture, wine and poetry had mentioned the close relationship between the poetry of wine is given a new interpretation of the source of origin so that the culture of wine in a long, and is deeply rooted.From ancient times people do not know the number of Jie Jiu literati ink to write a good poem passed down until today, to express his or hi or bad feelings, a lot of people describe the beauty away.Now I would like to saysomething about China-made wine, it is very famous in the world.China-made wine dates back to ancient times, variety, meta, the renowned wines.Rice wine is the world's oldest wine, about three thousand years ago, the era of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese original, Koji penthouse fermentation began a large number of wine.About a thousand years ago, the Chinese Song dynasty who invented the Distiller, liquor law, became the main Chinese people to drink alcohol.Wine penetration to the entire China five thousand years of civilization, history, literary and artistic creation and cultural entertainment to diet cooking, health care, and other aspects of Chinese life in occupies an important position.As far as my knowledge is concerned, wine is one of the oldest food, it is almost history and the history of human culture began.Since the wine appear, as a matter of culture, wine, its history and economic history of synchronization, but wine is not only a kind of food, it also has a spiritual and cultural value.As a spiritual culture it is reflected in the social and political life, literary arts and even people's attitude towards life, aesthetics, and many other aspects.In this sense, the drink is not just drinking and drinking, it has also been drinking culture.The differences between China and the west in wine culture2.1 The differences in the kinds of wineChina's wine culture springs from a long, though undoubtedly the longest history of wine, but the most representative of the Chinese wine than white wine, and in some ways can be said that China's wine culture, wine is wine culture.Because of the many wine types in China, she has a long history, mature technology, so far remains the world's largest production of distilled liquor.Chinese civilization in the YellowRiver basin, where the fertile soil, mild climate, long a major agricultural country, China as early as ten thousand years ago, with the West Asia, Central America became the world's first three agricultural centers.China's grain output large grains and cereals, varieties, food consumption in the function to meet people, as well as surplus, which laid the foundation for food wine.Known as the cradle of Western civilization has been located in the Balkans, Greece, surrounded by the sea, mountains and islands throughout the territory, the soil is relatively poor, is a typical Mediterranean climate.It is not conducive to the growth of food crops, cereal crops, low yields, only to meet the food, it is difficult to have a surplus wine.The grapes prefer gravel soil, with its drought tolerance and adaptability to the Mediterranean climate and widely cultivated in Greece, wine to meet the needs of Westerners on alcohol.2.2 The differences in wine glasses Ancient Chinese bronze ware drinking vezits beautiful and decorative images.And the most ancient wine is completed, the most typical is Shang bronze.Bronze vessels in heated debates, decanter, drinking, wine storage, ritual.Just like the tea ter, lacquer ware, porcelain, the above pattern is also very attractive.There are some very unusual drinking vessels, such as: ye guangbei, backflow pot, Mandarin Duck fragrant pot, pot, Kowloon fair of blasphemy against the Grand jade sea etc.But now, most households use of wine are Westen wine.In order to observe the grade level of the wine, Western wine are glass, transparent.Western wine lightweight convenience, are to be accepted by most of the Chinese family.Westerners to drink wine application what wine.So they have wine glasses, wine glasses, wine glass for red wine, brandy, etc.In the wine glass in two-party differences larger.While Western wine now represent a clearadvantage.China's traditional drinking vessels in general are now very rare in the family.2.3 The differences between drinking etiquette China's ceremonial drinking of alcohol reflects the respect for human beings.Masters of the guests have a fixed seat, have a fixed order of toast.When a toast from the beginning of the master King, owner of disrespect End, is not eligible for other people's respect, if the order of the chaos to deserve to be punished.And a toast from some of the most distinguished guests began to King, a toast to wine full time, that the toast was also a respect for human beings.The younger generation of elders, the lower a toast to the higher authorities to take the initiative to propose a toast, but also pay attention to the first King to do.The Xing Jiuling, Hua Quan, such as drinking etiquette, but also to allow people to drink more alcohol and enjoy the came into being.It is clear that the Chinese wine culture by young and old hierarchy of traditional Chinese culture, ethics, in the course of drinking alcohol on the respect for human beings on the most important position.The rituals of wine drinking in the West, reflect the respect for alcohol.Kam goods to wine and watch their color, smell their fragrance, flavor of their products, to mobilize all kinds of sensory enjoyment of wine.Goods in order to drink, pay attention to drink white wine after drinking red wine, the first products of light and then liquor products of the rich wine, to drink young wine to drink in the long years of wine, in accordance with the laws of taste changes gradually and in-depth Enjoy the taste of wine.The wine's choice, but also around how to fight the full enjoyment of those who drink wine to the requirements of choice.Aroma Cup together so that the tulip-mouth goblet, so full of wine-Shu start of the wine decanter, as well as to master the temperature of wine and drink productsspecially designed for the thermometer, all in the West reflect on the respect for alcohol, and their Ceremonial drinking, drinking culture is better to appreciate the delicious have been made.2.4 The difference between drinking purposesIn China, wine is often used as a tool, the so-called ulterior motives.Qing meizhuiu as to demonstrate who is a hero;Cup Mo Jiang Jin jiu stop in order to eliminate forever the same and Seoul worry;bamboo Poets of the Seven Sages, in order to Jiejiu asylum.Wine in the eyes of the Chinese people more as a communication tool in China's wine culture of wine for their own lack of scientific and systematic analysis and evaluation, but also about drinking after he brought a wonderful role.In the West, often drinking purpose is very simple, in order to enjoy the wine and alcohol, in order to enjoy the wine and alcohol.Of course, wine in the West also has the function of communication, but it's more pursuing is how much of the flavor of wine to enjoy.3．Some problems that we should pay attention to on the westen drinking 3.1 The way of holding wine glasses Many Westerners agree with such a view that we can determine whether a man knows wine, whether it is a quality person from the way he holding wine glasses.Here the following is a summary of several etiquette when drinking and I think its very important.In the westen restaurant, in order to let the guests indentify the quality of the wine , the waiter usually pour a little wine to the guests.What you have to do is take a sip and if you think there is no problem you should say good to the waiter and then the waiter will pour wine in order to help you, then you should put the wine glass down on the table instead of get hands on the wine glasses.In the Western liturgy, the correct way is to pour half of filling the cup(champagne can be filled two-thirds ofthe wine glass), please do not fill the wine cup as we Chinese do.When drinking brandy, please use your whole hand to wrap the bottom of the cup in order to keep the temperature of the wine and increase the aroma of wine.When drinking wine you should hold the feet of the wine glass with your fingers because the wine should be drink in a lower temperature.So as to avoid your hand increase the temperature of the wine temperature, your should let your thumb and middle finger and index finger holding the feet of the cup and keep your little finger on the bottom of the cup.When you are drinking a little jiggle have contact with air to add the wine tastes mellow of fierce, but don't shake the cup.in addition, a gulp, and drink the wine glass to see through glass, and took the words and drinking and eating, drinking and the lipstick mark in the cup edge is considered improper behavior.When you are holding the cup please ensure that your elbows keep distance with the table.That is very important.3.2 Some drinking tips The most suitable temperature for drinking wine is 16 ~ 18 ℃, and the best temperature for drinking white wine is 8 ~ 12 ℃.White wine can be drink with ice, do not add anything when drink red wine.But when someone is drinking red wine, they usually like to add other drinks as color and so on, this is a very rude way I think.If your wine is which the kind of kept in a special cellar for many years in the wine sommelier then you should be cautious, or wine may be return to the bottom of the bottle back from Pingzui or blistering, and bottom of the sediment stirred up due to ”backlash“.And the bottle of wine should not be empty, please leave about an inch deep to the wine, because they may have a little reception for cloudy precipitate.In the Western table, you can toast, but do not persuade others to drink more like we Chinese usually do.Andplease ensure that you have an excessive drinking, and if you are a visitor three cups of wine will be suitable.If you do not want to drink because of some physical problems, you can politely say: ”I do not drink, thank you.“ Please pay attention to that your hand should not cover the cup.Finally, let me talk about the problem that whether we should have a cold drink with red wine.Europeans generally believe that only white wine needs cold beverages, when drinking red wine, the room temperature is suitable.A national wine-tasting expert stated that probably because of the different geographical and cultural backgrounds and they lead to people misunderstanding.The average temperature in Europe is about 15 ~ 18 ℃ or so.Moreover, only the possession of alcohol possession of the French underground wine cellar in their own place in the relatively cool, the general temperature is 12 ℃.Although the temperatu re difference between winter and summer, but there is no effect on the wine quality.In China, most of the summer temperature usually reaches 30 ℃.The so-called 15 ~ 18 ℃ temperature is also limited to the best Bordeaux and Burgundy wine flavors in terms of heavy, other than a light red wine in terms of taste, Maybe it tastes better a little cold again.This wine-tasting expert had drunk the wine in the hot sun under the irradiation of the so-called ”room temperature“ wine, he said: ”These 'hot wine' than 'ho t beer', but also very hard to swallow."And thus he has given such an advice: we do not have too rigidly about the wine temperature, if we feel not well with the wine temperature, wine, cool as ice bucket can be placed.In short, just choose what you like.4.ConclusionFrom what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that wine plays an important in our dailylife.People’s life becomes colorful with it.As regards the wine culture, there exists difference between China and the western countries.The raw material and drinking custom is different in terms of geography.There also exist similarities.Both China and western countries have some beautiful legends about the origin of wine and the symbol wine of spirit, leading to the birth of romanticism and the development of mainstream belief.The development of world wine culture depends on the intercommunication of different nations.Thus, communicating with other nations is helpful and indispensable to the development of wine culture.Some methods can be done to promote intercommunication.Nowadays, as we know, globalization is inevitable, so is the intercommunication of wine culture between countries.The wine as an objective substance in the world is in the shape of water but it has the character of fire.It will brighten the bright and fool the fool.People, such as the emperors, the heroes, the liberators, the ordinary people, the beggars and the like, all like it since it appeared.Undoubtedly, the wine can be said as a riddle.People no matter in China or in western countries all have the habit of drinking wine.They regard drinking wine as an indispensable part of life There is no doubt that the wine culture was gradually formed after the appearing of wine.With the rapid development of science and technology ,more and more people believe that wine culture is playing an important role in our life.While we pride ourselves on the long history of wine culture we only to find that we depend excessively on the traditional wine culture.It is generally acknowledged that China is far away from the western countries.As a result, the way to drink is different.Even in China, there is also some difference between nationalities on the way todrink.There is also some similarities of wine culture between China and western countries although the difference exists.For example, both China and western countries have a beautiful legend about the origin of wine.The development of wine spirit accompanied with wine culture.While wine culture developed to a certain degree, schools of ideology came into being.In order to push the development of wine culture we should do our utmost to promote the international communication of the wine culture.References

Language serves as dress of thought．Thoughts are always expressed by wordsWithout thinking，language would be meaningless?那么，思维又是如何作用在语言形式上的呢?通过研究可知：思维---表现法---语言具体形式。

农业、土地与民生息息相关，所以就形成了“天人合一”这一中国文化的精髓。

即把人与自然视为和谐统一的整体，人类文化与天命自然统一。

The T aoist notion Of following nature is closed related，as in other naturalistic movements，to the idea of fate．这种中国文化的最高境界使中国人习惯于崇尚自然、行于自然；不违天命、顺其自然的处世哲学和宿命论，即Let things remain as they are．而在人与天地万物协调共存的世界中，则存在着循环往复、生生不息的发展变化。

美国人说这是moving in endless circles and repeating it over and over again。

中国的儒家与道家哲学就深深体现了这种观点。

如“道生一、一生二、二生三、三生万物，万物归于道”等，这就是汉民族的循回式思维方式，比如在语言表现法中有回环式：“人不犯我，我不犯人”，及递进式表达：“道高一尺，魔高一丈”。

酒与酒文化（Alcoholic Drinks and Its Culture）酒，是人类最古老的食物之一，它的历史几乎是与人类发展史一道开始的。

酒是人类饮食文化中不可或缺的一部分。

而随着人类社会的发展，酒已不仅仅是一种客观的物质存在(material existence)，而是一种精神文化的象征（symbol of spirits and cultures）。

其中，西方的葡萄酒（wine），中国的黄酒(yellow millet wine)、白酒(distilled wine)为世界所熟知。

一、起源（origin）根据考古(archaeology)的探究推测，葡萄酒已有6000年的历史，多数历史学家认为波斯（Persia），即现今的伊朗（Iran），是世界上最早酿造葡萄酒的国家。

传说古代有一位波斯国王，爱吃葡萄，曾把葡萄压紧保藏在陶罐(crockery)里，标上“有毒”以防人偷吃。

数天后，王室中一个妃子厌倦了生活擅自饮用了这个陶罐里的饮料。

她非但没结束自己的生命，反而兴奋异常。

她盛了一杯献给国王，国王饮用后也十分欣赏。

从此，国王颁布命令，收藏成熟的葡萄制成葡萄酒。

20年前，伊朗的的格登特比发现了一只公元前3500年地波斯两耳细颈酒罐，里面含葡萄酒的天然化学物质。

这说明人类在5500年以前就开始饮用葡萄酒了。

在中国，酒的历史比茶还长。

1986年在河南出土的一壶酒，就是3000多年前的古酒。

关于酒的起源，流传最广的要算“杜康造酒”了。

曹操的乐府诗《短歌行》吟道：“慨当以慷，幽思难忘；何以解忧，唯有杜康。

”在这里，杜康是酒的代名词，但人们都因此把姓杜名康这个人当做了酿酒的祖师(the ancestor of making wine)。

另一种传说是夏禹时期的仪狄发明了酿酒。

《吕氏春秋》云：“仪狄作酒”。

汉代刘向编辑的《战国策》进一步说明：“昔者，帝女令仪狄作酒而美，进之禹，禹饮而甘之，曰：‘后世必有饮酒儿亡国者’。

A comparative study on wine cultureⅠ. IntroductionWine is an alcoholic beverage. Date back to 6,500 years ago, the earliest in Europe was evidenced in northern Greece. In Egypt wine was recorded in history and playing an important role in ancient ceremonial life. Dating from the second and first millennium BC wine has also been found in China. Company with the production of wine, the culture it combined is variety and instructive. Wine culture or drinking culture refers to the customs and practices associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Although alcoholic beverages and social attitudes toward drinking vary around the world, nearly every civilization has independently discovered the processes of brewing beer, fermenting wine, and distilling spirits.As a special form of culture, wine culture could be found in all kinds of works, all kinds of human life. Based on this point, it has a crucial impact on our society. As we have known that, culture is connection with economics and politics of the states. In terms of those, it is important to do the comparative study on wine culture.Ⅱ. The different wine culture between China and western countries There are four major difference differences among the Chinese wine culture and the western one.The first thing I would like to mention is that the kind of the wine is quite different. Barley wine and rice wine, which is made from starch-based materials and resemble beer and spirit more than wine, is the most common wine in China, while the western wine is made of fermented fruit juice; usually from grapes. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different types of wine. Wines are also made from other fruits, such as apples and berries, and generically called fruit wine or country wine. Chinese grape wine was first produced in the Han Dynasty around the 2nd century BC.Secondly, the understanding of the wine is different.In the eyes of western people, wine is a symbol of power. When people mention wine, they causally picture an elegant and delicate image. They believe that wine is an art, a living and charming thing which is worthy of being cherished. For instance, as Maya, the character of the Sideways,puts it: “I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today, it would taste different than if I opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive, and it is constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is until it peaks, like you ’61, and then it begins its steady, inevitable decline…”Facing with the busy and reluctantly life, sighing for the momentary and fleeting, one’s heavy heart could gain temporary peace and relive only when s/he got drunk. This view of life could be found in the western culture. Understanding drinking in young people should be understood through a "developmental" framework.On the other hand, Chinese way of understanding is tend to the moral level, and it bore plenty feeling, such as grace, sorrow, frustration, etc. The Confucian culture isthe core of Chinese wine culture while in western wine is tied in myth to Dionysus/Bacchus. As noted by Shen Kuo (1031–1095) in his Dream Pool Essays, an old phrase in China amongst the gentry class was having the company of "drinking guests" (jiuke), which was a figure of speech for drinking wine, playing the Chinese zither, playing Chinese chess, Zen Buddhist meditation, calligraphy and painting, tea drinking, alchemy, chanting poetry, and conversation.Last but not least, No matter the western liquor, or Chinese rice wine, their drinking habits have very big distinction. When Chinese people go out for a dinner, especially which have something to do with business, men are expected to drink a lot of wine. In that case, you have to drink for the sake that others propose a, while refuse is often regarded as offence.However, the western men feel really uncomfortable, when the other party kept toasting, they take it for discourtesy. It is not appropriate. They feel like being forced to drink. In their opinion everyone has the right to decide what they want to eat or to drink. If you would like to ask them to eat more food, two or three time is suitable. On the contrast, it is a polite manner for Chinese to keep telling someone to eat more or drink. In a word, when Chinese are in the business banquets and try not to drink too much, for that may leaves their western business partners a bad impression.In short, interpretation of Chinese and western culture of wine is a good way to find out the differences between Chinese and western. And as all have disgusted above, it is safe to say that the major reasons for the difference is their different way of thinking. The Chinese is the typical kind of divergent thinking, while the westerners are more tending to the line thought. The understanding of Chinese and western culture of wine, and the study of it are benefit to develop wine culture sufficient and reduce the conflicts in international communication. With the frequently exchanges among Chinese and western culture recently, we can not prevent mutual penetration and fusion of the tide of them. Among the Chinese and western wine culture, some were consistent, some inconsistent and some complementary.Understanding the different kinds of wine culture, both countries would understand each other better, and the development of the world would be more harmonious.。
