( friends of the intangible culture heritage protection, a nonprofit & and nongovernmental association)

as the development of the modern civilization, lots of the human’s achievements （especially the intangible heritage）are dying ,maybe without being noticed and protected few years later nobody can see them any more,

one reason is because of the inconvenient transportation, some of them till today is hard to be known by the outside people ;

another is because they are too depended on the hands and till now they could not be made in bulk to get more profit, the artisans who make a living on them have to change their way for living to support their family ;

the third is because the art is too difficult to learn and hard to make the people who make a living on them be rich shortly, so they are lack of successor ;

the fourth reason is because the coming of the western civilization, more and more Chinese people like to chase the western things but ignore the traditional things.

But we believe the things represent one nation are the things belong to the whole world, for that is why one nation is different from the others, and we have the responsibility to protect them and let them be succeeded generation after generation.


We need more people know them and give a hand to us!

Alcohol in China

Alcohol culture is one part of the Chinese food culture, which is typical of Chinese folklore. In China ,there are a variety of legends about the origin of alcoholic drinks, from them it can be concluded that the brewing of alcoholic drinks started as early as Xia Dynasty or even earlier than that, which has been proved by what the archaeologists have discoverd.

Xia Dynasty existed 4,000 years ago, however the old vessels that were used to brew alcoholic drinks 5000 years ago have been discovered, which shows that brewing of alcoholic drinks came into existence at least 5,000 years ago or even earlier .

In the distant ancient time, people found by chance some alcoholic drinks naturally fermented , then tried to copy it. It took them quite a long time to get the technique. but the alcohol was not invented by humans, as Scientists recently discovered there is alcohol hidden in some heavenly bodies in the boundless universe.

The reserves of alcohol in them, if made into beer, could be adequate for humans to drink hundreds of millions of years, which suggests that alcoholic beverages are the products of Nature. The mankind did not invented alcoholic beverages but discovered them .

According to the ancient legends and references based on the brewing principles, the earliest alcoholic drinks the mankind had an idea to brew should be fruit wine and milk alcoholic drink, for fruits and animals' milk were fairly easy to ferment into alcoholic drinks, which only needed rather simple brewing techniques.

but as the development of that ,we invented ways to brew different kinds of alcohol drinks. such as the white alcohol, yellow alcohol ,beer, fruit alcohol ,wine, medicine alcohol, ect. Alcohol now in China is not only a kind of drink but a comprehensive culture, here I’d like to introduce more about them.
