The Ancient Elixir: Zhu Ye Qing Wine, A Timeless Chinese Delicacy

 Zhu Ye Qing wine, also known as Zhu Ye Qing wine, abbreviated as Zhu Ye, is one of the famous wines in Chinese history. Zhu Ye Qing wine was first produced in Cangwu (now Wuzhou, Guangxi) and Yicheng (now part of Hubei Province), and now the Zhu Ye Qing wine from Xinghuacun, Shanxi, is the most famous.
 

 【Historical Origin】

 The origin of Zhu Ye Qing wine can be traced back to the Warring States period, and it was already popular among people from all walks of life during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. With the rapid development of social economy and culture, Zhu Ye Qing wine reached its peak during the Song Dynasty and received praise from famous poets like Bai Juyi and Du Fu. There are not many records about Zhu Ye Qing wine during the Yuan Dynasty, only appearing in dramas. By the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ye Qing wine had become a royal wine. The Ming Dynasty also produced a medicinal wine called Zhu Ye wine, which is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica".

 To trace its origins, the original Zhu Ye Qing wine was just soaking young bamboo leaves in Fenjiu wine to extract its light green and fragrant taste. Later, under the guidance of the famous Shanxi doctor Fu Shan, the medicinal formula and brewing methods were determined, and the present-day Zhu Ye Qing wine was created.
