Yellow rice wine is commonly known as "Yuan Nian Huadiao" or "Huadiao old wine". In the minds of Shaoxing people in the old days, Huadiao was the most precious and precious wine collection in Shaoxing. , the custom of daughter wine evolved.
According to records, Huadiao wine originated in the Dawenkou culture period of Shandong Province six thousand years ago, and represents the long-standing Chinese wine culture. Among Huadiao wines in various places, the brand name is the best. The oldest one is Huadiao wine from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Shaoxing has a wide variety of wines, including Yuanhong wine, Jiafan wine, Shanshu wine, Xiangxue wine, Huadiao wine, etc., among which Huadiao wine is the most distinctive.
The records of Huadiao are inconsistent in history and legend. Liang Zhangju’s "Continued Talk of Wandering" in the Qing Dynasty records: "The best Shaoxing wine is called daughter's wine. It is said that when the daughter of a wealthy family was just one month old, several jars of wine were brewed until she went out." , that is, this wine was used to accompany the bride, and more than ten years ago, the altar was decorated with colorful silk, and it was called Huadiao. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a more beautiful legend about the origin of Huadiao: It is said that in the early years, there was a Zhang in Shaoxing A woman named Tailor was very happy, so she buried a jar of rice wine in the courtyard, hoping to use it to entertain relatives and friends after her son was born. Unexpectedly, the woman gave birth to a daughter, and the wine buried deep in the courtyard was disappointed. She was forgotten. Later, her daughter grew up, became a virtuous and kind-hearted person, and married Tailor Zhang’s favorite apprentice. On the wedding day, the courtyard was filled with joy. The tailor suddenly remembered the old wine buried in the courtyard eighteen years ago, and quickly dug it out. After opening it, the wine smelled good. It is tangy and intoxicating, hence the name Nuerhong. This custom later evolved to the point where wine was also made when a boy was born, and the wine jar was painted with vermilion, which was called "Zhuangyuanhong".
