How did the history of Du Kang in Ruyang come about

Du Kang Wine's culture is famous at home and abroad. Many famous people, experts, scholars and literati have come here, leaving precious calligraphy. Sixty seven stone inscriptions of calligraphy and painting are stored in the climbing tablets on both sides of the Hall of the Ancestor of Wine. The cursive script of Zhang Aiping, the former Minister of National Defense, "Resist the wind and raise the spirits" tells the true meaning of Du Kang Wine. The late master of calligraphy and painting Li Kuchan eulogized the seven laws of Du Kang and Du Kang Wine's wine: "drunk tiger and sleeping dragon's slurry, drinking Liu Ling is the god of wine, chasing Kang River for thousands of fame, and returning to the immortal village as Du Soul. In the past, Wei Wu relieved the anxiety of brewing, and today, people are celebrating their wealth and mellowness, and the eight immortals are competing to taste Yan, and crossing the sea is still fragrant." This is the best evaluation of Du Kang. The master of calligraphy and painting Li Keran's "ancestor of good wine, Du Kang is passed down from generation to generation", and the vice president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts Professor Zhu Naizheng's "returning to simplicity" and "wine and ink"; Famous painter Lou Shibai's "The Flower King Only Wei Zi, The Wine Counts Du Kang"; The great works of Qi Gong, Chairman of the National Book Association, Xiao Lao, Vice Chairman, and Shen Peng; The poems of Ge Luo, Executive Secretary of the National Writers Association, and famous writer Yao Xueliang visiting Du Kangxian Village are all displayed in the stele gallery.

The hanging flower gate on the south side of Du Kang Temple leads to the "Du Kang Cemetery". The wide corridor leads directly to the tomb of Du Kang from under the bluestone plaque engraved with the words "The Legend of the Wine Ancestor". In front of the tomb is the "Tomb of the Wine Ancestor Du Kang" from the 28th year of Kangxi's reign, with a stone tablet standing on the back; On the left and right sides stand two Xieshan stone tablets, "Biography of the Wine Ancestor Du Kang" and "Inscription on the Reconstruction of Du Kang's Cemetery"

As he turned over fifty, his ambition to unify the world was about to disappear. This fulfilled his great ambition, and he was eager to seek talents, with worries lingering in his heart. How can we dispel the worries in his heart? Only the oldest wine in history - Du Kang Wine; So when the urgently needed Qishi Gaocai traveled a long distance, he was overjoyed and wrote the timeless welcome song "Short Song Journey" as a tribute to wine

On the east side of the cemetery is a small courtyard with a corridor and courtyard layout, called "Gu Nian Zhai". Legend has it that the descendants of Du Kang in the Zhou Dynasty compiled and summarized the earliest brewing and brewing techniques in China, known as the "Five Qi" and "Six Laws". Passing the "banana leaf gate" and along the corridor is the "wine source" exhibition room. There are seven groups of 28 painted sculptures in the room, which vividly show the whole process of Du Kang's wine making. Hundreds of pieces, including bronze barons of the Shang Dynasty, pottery pots and jars of the Han Dynasty unearthed opposite the "wine source", money making, war swords and copper pots of the Qin, Han, Tang, Song and other dynasties, mortar for ancient wine making and grain crushing, ancient folk furniture with the words "Du Kang Xian Zhuang" and newly discovered wine stoves of the Jian'an period, provide very valuable data for the study of Du Kang Wine's wine culture<31 In the dark society, in order to escape from reality and fight against the brutal forces, they advocated the theory of Lao Zhuang and rebelled against the old ethics. They did not seek fame and wealth, but made friends with wine. They often drank in Du Kangxian Villa to vent their inner depression and cynicism<33

The cherry garden exit is connected to a small and exquisite water pavilion. Standing on the pavilion platform, you can see the scenery of lakes and mountains, with purple air and smoke. The lake looks like a gourd. It is said that the Eight Immortals traveled here and drank Du Kang Wine and fell drunk one by one. After waking up, they left the mark of iron crutches and Li's gourd here, so it is called "Hulu Lake". The "Jade Belt Bridge" binds the waist of the gourd. At the junction of the lotus leaf bridge and the wooden bridge in the lake, a pavilion with four corners was built. Beside the pavilion, there was a bathing statue of White Marble girls. It is said that Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful lady in the Tang Dynasty, went into the imperial palace with Shi Yang Guozhong when she was young.
