According to modern scientific testing, pine wine contains 21 types of amino acids, among which 8 amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from food. Therefore, this wine is known as the "liquid cake" and has certain health benefits. How did the history of Zhongshan Songlao liquor come about As early as the Warring States period, with present-day Baoding and Shijiazhuang as the center, it owned most of the territory of Hebei. It coexisted with Yan and Zhao for more than a hundred years and was second only to the Seven Warring States Kingdoms, known as the "Land of Thousand Capitals". At that time, Zhongshan had already achieved a very high level of brewing. In 1974, two pots of ancient wine were discovered in the tomb of Prince Zhongshan in Sanji, Zhongshan County, Hebei Province. One of the pots was green brown in color and emitted a rich aroma when unearthed. Experts identified it as a brewed wine similar to yellow wine but not yellow wine. It was recorded in historical records that various feudal lords and kings favored "thousand day drunkenness - ancient pine wine". This pot of wine shocked the world and is a living artifact that has been around for more than 2300 years, more than 700 years earlier than the "gem wine" brewed in W ü rzburg, Germany before 1540. Later, residues from the wine vessels in the tomb of Prince Jing Liu Sheng in Zhongshan were found to contain substances with the same composition as this wine, indicating the love of Zhongshan nobles for pine wine and the status of pine wine at that time. Legend has it that Jing Ke, who generously went on a mission to assassinate the Qin king, was once rewarded with pine wine. Jing Ke, who enjoyed drinking this wine, praised it greatly. The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and once the brave go, they never return. "This adds a generous and tragic heroic sentiment to Songlao liquor By the Tang Dynasty, "pine wine" had become a tradition. Liu Yuxi, who claimed to be the great poet after Liu Sheng, the Prince Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, wrote the famous line "Orange trees and sandbars are dark, pine wine is fragrant" in his poem "Sending the Five Masters Lu Xielu to Hunan" in his collection "Liu Mengde Collection". In the poem "Returning to Pei Ming's Residence" in Volume 5 of Li Shangyin's "Yishan Poetry Collection," there is also a line that goes, "I took a bucket of pine wine on credit, and accompanied you to enjoy my pleasure." This indicates that pine wine was already popular among the people at that time "Songlao" liquor was originally a product of the combination of traditional Chinese culture and traditional medicine. From a traditional cultural perspective, pine wine contains cultural connotations of "longevity," "health," and "beauty." From a traditional medical perspective, pine leaves and pine paste have the effects of dispelling wind, dispelling cold, nourishing yin and stabilizing appearance, reducing swelling, and promoting diuresis
