Material production is the source of the spiritual world,but also a spiritual participant,which gives rise to a cultural phenomenon,that has the character of both material and spirit.The culture of wine is a typical instance.After being created,wine and wineset has been revolved in folk-custom,literature,etc,generating the wine culture,which is increasing prosperous along with the development of human civilization.The former study of wine culture was somewhat not conprehensive,thus, the aim of writing up this paper is to analyze,I could mean from all aspects,the culture of wine in ancient China,to discuss the issue from different periods,different distincts & different level of the growth wine culture,so as to illustrate the key position of wine culture in Chinese traditional culture.This paper is made up of the following parts:Preface Contexts(Chapter 2,3&4) and Summary(Chapter 5).The prologue reveals the motivation of choosing this topic and the purpose of this study.Also,the first part explains the origin of some historical datum and certain concept of wine-culture.The second part mainly discuss the origin of wine and how it has developed.A threshold point is that,discussing the origin of wine from the views of characters,tales,grains and animals,proves that mastering the method of wine making is the resultof human labors.Then pursue the wine-making and liquor policy history in different time period.The main content of the third chapter is about the substance civilization of wine,which can be explained from the aspects of famous vintage,medical wine and excessive stoup.After this chapter,you can find that the civilization of wine in anciet China was so upgrowth.Following the third chapter is something about the spiritual civilization of wine,which could be illuminated in the literature,the convention and the drinking games.From the literature we can concluded that the wine had a deeply impact on people's values. Through the convention we know that the wet goods which was so important in people's life run through the history,and that drinking games serves as an important role in entertainment in anciet times.In the end,it is a sum-up of the culture of the drink in ancient China and some advice for how to developing the culture of wine in the future.During the process of my research,I tried pretty hard to catch the fragmentary material,which is related to the culture of wine,like the history data from notes, arecdotes,paintings,and at the same time,compared those datum with practicality in order to find something special & new.However,as this paper has covered such a long period of history,it's rather difficult for me to collect all relavert stuff,especially things before Ming Dynasty.I have tried my best to describe and explain "wine culture" by the use of various analyses,but it's for sure that there're still a few weak points in my paper.It's my sincere hope that I could improve that later.
