Textual Research On The Names Of Wine In The Tso Chuan

The names of wine is the formal carrier of material culture,which bears rich social and cultural connotations.The textual research on the names of wine is a rich"social and cultural history",and The Tso Chuan records a very rich names of wine,including Li wine(醴酒),Chang wine(鬯酒)and Zhen wine(鸩酒),and most of the former scholar revealed it.Because of its long history,although there are many scholars exegeting its semantics,there are still many difficult problems,and many of its items have different opinions,so far there is no conclusion.As a sweet wine,Li wine(醴酒)has existed since the Shang Dynasty.In the Spring and Autumn Period,it is common to have"Su Li"(粟醴),"Dao Li"(稻醴)and"Shu Li"(黍醴),etc.However,it is difficult to confirm the meaning of"Liang Li"(粱醴).It can be divided into clear and turbid,but it is a relative concept.Because it is simple and easy to get,"Zhuo Li"(浊醴)are often used for daily drinking,while the process of"Qing Li"(清醴)is complex and focuses on the sacrificial function.The"Qing Li"(清醴)may be a kind of"Suo wine"(缩酒),which is different from the sake of"five ji,three wine and four drinks"(五齐三酒四饮)and is also different from the sake of"kinds of Yu Chang"(郁鬯之属),which is worth discussing.Different from Shang Dynasty,Zhou Dynasty’s Chang(鬯)can be divided into"Ju Chang"(秬鬯)and"Yu Chang"(郁鬯),which is made of black millet and"Ju Chang"(秬鬯)which is made of"Yu Chang"(郁鬯)and tulip grass.In different contexts,candied"Chang"(鬯)has different meanings.Unless otherwise specified,candied"Chang"(鬯)for reward is"Ju Chang"(秬鬯)and candied for sacrifice is"Yu Chang"(郁鬯),which are different in brewing technology,production cycle,utensils and social functions.As a special rhetoric example seen in the Zhou Dynasty,"Ju Chang Yi You"(秬鬯一卣)is often used as a gift from the king of Zhou,which is an intuitive reflection of the"ritual"system at that time.Zhen wine(鸩酒)is a proper name of poisonous wine,and its production process is simple.It is said that Zhen wine(鸩酒)can be prepared by dipping the feather of Zhen bird(鸩鸟)into the wine.Due to the important role played by Zhen wine(鸩酒)in wine field politics,Zhen wine(鸩酒)was used to kill people and exclude dissidents from the Spring and Autumn Period.Since then,Zhen wine(鸩酒)has been used as a means of killing people in power struggles,and such records are endless in The Tso Chuan.In the Spring and Autumn Period,women’s participation in politics was never permitted.At that time,there was a social concept of"treat the hens croaking for the morning"(牝鸡司晨).However,in order to seek political power and social resources,women in the Spring and Autumn Period took drinking wine as a necessary means to enter the power field,and there were strong internal contradictions and conflicts between their gender roles and social roles.Combining archaeological objects and unearthed documents,makes a systematic study on the names of wine in The Tso Chuan,the ancient with the present,the name with the reality,and paying attention to the use of multi-evidence method,trying to clarify the specific shapes and uses of the names of wine in The Tso Chuan more accurately and intuitively,and striving to achieve similarities and differences,seeking common ground in differences,so as to be beneficial to the exegesis of famous things.Through semantic exegesis,we can also reflect the daily life scenes and social spiritual outlook of the people at that time.On this basis,we can explore the significance of ideological and cultural history behind it,and we can also understand the Spring and Autumn Society more stereoscopically and comprehensively.
