After the dust settled, more than ten scholars confirmed that the Xinghua Village in Du Mu's poem Qingming was indeed in Fenyang, Shanxi.

On April 3rd, the "Celebration of Du Mu's Qingming Festival193rd Anniversary and 20th18th Spring Fenjiu Culture Forum" jointly organized by Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences, China Tang History Society and Fenjiu Group was held in Shanxi Xinghua Village Fenjiu Factory. Du, Chairman of Shanxi Writers Association, Du Wenyu, Vice Chairman of Chinese Tang History Society, Party Secretary and Dean of Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences, NPC deputies, Party Secretary and Chairman of Fenjiu Group attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches. Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences and Fenjiu Group signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement.

Also present at the forum were Jianping Song, Vice President of China Academy of Social Sciences, Wang Zhichao, Vice President of Shanxi Social Science Federation, Chang Jianwei, General Manager of Fenjiu Factory Co., Ltd., Zhang Shuguang, Secretary General of Fenjiu Group Board of Directors, Liu Jing 'an, Cultural Director of Fenjiu Group and Director of Fenjiu Culture Research Center, as well as more than 100 professors, experts and scholars from eight universities and social sciences institutes in six provinces and cities.

In his welcoming speech, Chairman Li Qiuxi expressed his heartfelt thanks and warm welcome to the scholars and experts attending the meeting. He said that the poem Qingming is red with wine, and famous poems cannot be separated from famous wine. Bai Juyi once wrote a poem "Glorious Old Road", and many great writers such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin and Du Mu have been to Fenzhou to write poems. Fen is Fenzhou, which is now Fenyang. The important reason why they came to Fenyang is that there is good wine in Xinghua Village here. Fenjiu is famous for the poem Qingming, which makes Fenjiu a household name and creates an important glory of Fenjiu. In order to remember the great contribution of Du Mu's poem Qingming to Fenjiu, Fenjiu Group officially listed Du Mu as one of the "Ten Sages of Fenjiu" and erected a statue to commemorate it forever.

In recent years, there has been controversy about where the Xinghua Village in Du Mu's poems is. We commemorate Du Mu, not to participate in these unnecessary disputes, but to make Du Mu's famous sentences humiliated by those malicious hype. There are indeed many villages with the same name as Xinghua Village, but whether there are famous wines in its present and history cannot be changed in a few words. Du Mu came to Xinghua Village because of wine, and wrote the poem Qingming because of wine. Therefore, we have the responsibility to let more consumers taste the wine that Du Mu drank. Only by doing things in good faith, making wine with heart, and carrying forward the spirit of Chinese wine and Qingming carried by Xinghua Village Fenjiu, can it be regarded as the best commemoration of Du Mu.

Tang Shi experts, poetry experts and cultural scholars from all over the country, with a large number of detailed historical materials, discussed the close relationship between Du Mu and Fenyang from the perspectives of climate, geography, history, poetry and wine culture, and the far-reaching influence brought by Du Mu's poem Qingming in Shanxi Xinghua Village.

Du Wenyu, a professor at Shaanxi Normal University, a doctoral supervisor and vice president of the Chinese Tang History Society, said in his speech that according to relevant literature records, Du Mu traveled to Fenzhou at least twice in his early years and wrote a poem "Qingming" here. Judging from the artistic conception of the poem, Du Mu's mood is not high. Probably he remembered his great-grandfather who was an official here. He was "trying to kill his soul". From the history of Fenyang famous wine production, it is found that the archaeological discovery of Xinghua village site, as early as 6000 years ago in Yangshao period, ancestors carried out primitive wine-making, and its symbolic wine vessel was the small mouth and pointed bottom urn excavated at Xinghua village site.

Archaeological excavations further confirmed that there was a relatively developed culture here as early as the Shang Dynasty. During the Northern Dynasties, Fenjiu was produced for the upper royal family to drink, which became a palace tribute. Since modern times, it has won many honors, especially the first prize of Panama World Expo 19 15, which made Fenjiu famous all over the world. Fenyang Xinghua Village Fenjiu not only has a long history of production, but also is an international famous wine, which is naturally favored and praised by Du Mu, a great poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

An Jiesheng, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Historical Geography Research Center of Fudan University, said that Shanxi had a key position and influence in the political geography of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the Bingzhou area was isomorphic with Chang 'an in Beijing and Luoyang in the East, and became the hub of political geography in the Tang Dynasty. The development of Jinzhong area in Tang Dynasty was closely related to the water environment, regulation and water conservancy construction at that time. The three cities of Taiyuan depend on water as the city and live by water. With the efforts of local officials and people, Fenzhou has connected ditches and a good water ecology. As far as the details of regional environment are concerned, "Fenyang Flower" and "Apricot Leaf Saddle" mentioned in Tang poetry, and "Apricot Flower Poetry" written by Fenzhou poet Xue Neng, especially the poem "Please Ming" written by Du Mu, a great poet in Tang Dynasty, can provide solid and valuable historical basis for the early history of Fenjiu and Xinghua Village.

Xue Pingshuan, a professor at the School of History and Culture of Shaanxi Normal University, said in his speech that a large number of drinking poems by literati in the Tang Dynasty not only vividly reflected their consumption of various wines, but also greatly enriched the wine culture in the Tang Dynasty. Literati chanting wine also played a positive role in promoting the production and consumption of wine in Tang Dynasty. When Du Mu traveled to Shanxi in his early years, the poem Qingming written in Fenzhou was one of the outstanding representatives.

Lu Shihong, a scholar, said in his speech that Du Mu was twenty-three years old in Baoliyuan, Tang Jingzong, and he liked to play in Tang Jingzong. In the eastern region, three towns in Hebei were separated, and Shangdang Liu Wu also had second thoughts. In the face of internal and external troubles, Du Mu was worried. On the one hand, he wrote Epanggong Fu to remonstrate, on the other hand, he wrote Shangze Situ Shu to persuade the unification of the three towns in Hebei. In 825 AD, Du Mu went to Shanxi. In February, he set out from Chang 'an to Luoyang and arrived in Luzhou, where he failed to persuade Liu Situ to surrender. From Taiyuan in the north to Fen Road in the south, there are poems such as Bingzhou Road in the Middle and Three Poems on the Side, and a poem Qingming passes through Fenzhou. After more than 30 years of textual research and discussion, whether from the natural climate, historical geographical location or the historical evidence of the poet Du Mu's creation of Qingming poems, Du Mu's poem Qingming refers to Xinghua Village in Fenyang, Shanxi Province, and there are a lot of detailed evidence to check.

Wang Sai, a researcher at the Institute of History of Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, said in his speech that Fenjiu is the oldest brand in China's brewing industry. It was a household name in China as early as the Northern Dynasties, and still maintains the status of national famous wine. The literati's preference for Fenjiu and praise for Fenjiu make Fenjiu put on a glorious coat that other famous wines don't have. Fenjiu was called "Ganhe Liquor" in the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhao's Tang Shi Supplement lists 17 kinds of famous Tang wines, among which "Hedong Ganhe" is mentioned. Hedong, generally referred to as Shanxi, is brewed in Fenyang. In addition to Du Mu's poem Qingming, which praised the poet's predecessor Ganhejiu, other great poets also praised it. For example, Bai Juyi's "Bai's Changqing Collection" (Volume 37) and "I Send Langzhi" sang the song of "Fighting for Dry Wine". Zhang Ji wrote a poem "Love to make wine, love to make peace" (see Volume 384 of Complete Tang Poetry). Among the existing Dunhuang documents, Wang Fu's On Tea and Wine in the Tang Dynasty also listed "dry wine and wine" as a famous article.

Wang Yongping, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of History and Culture of Capital Normal University, said in his speech that 1, denying Du Mu as the author of Qingming is untenable. When studying the poem Qingming, Chen Yinque thinks that the climate image it describes should be the scenery in northern China. 2. Before1980, Du Mu's poems actually refer to Xinghua Village in Fenyang, and there is no dispute. After 1982, due to economic interests, his geographical view was further studied and a fierce debate was formed. As for whether the "Xinghua Village" mentioned in the poem is a virtual reference or a real reference, I think it is a real reference, referring to Fenyang, Shanxi. 3. Xinghua Village in Fenyang has a long history of winemaking. Fenjiu, the Northern Qi Imperial Wine in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ganhe Wine in the Tang and Song Dynasties and the famous mutton wine, is the predecessor of Xinghua Village's wine making, attracting countless literati including Du Mu.

Shi Yuntao, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Chinese Studies of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said that Taiyuan was a land of Longxing in Li Tang's time, and the post road from Chang 'an to Taiyuan passed through the Fenhe River basin, which witnessed the prosperity and development of poetry in the Tang Dynasty. Pei Du, Ling Huchu, Mao Yan and many other senior officials and celebrities come and go here, and Zhang Ji, Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi all wrote poems for this purpose. Du Mu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, had the experience of going northward and countercurrent in his early years. Before becoming an official, he took the "Taiyuan-Chang 'an Post Road" back to Chang 'an, passing Fenyang, the origin of Fenjiu, and asked the shepherd boy where there was a restaurant. The poem Qingming written by him during this trip reflects the same feelings as Bing Zhou Dao Zhong, You Wan, Three Poems on the Side and Late Autumn on the Side, and all of them are the portrayal of the depressed mood of young people rushing for the future.

Gao Qi 'an, a professor at Dunhuang Cultural College of Lanzhou University of Finance and Economics, said in his speech that the world knows that the "Fenjiu" in Xinghua Village of Shanxi praised by Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, is a famous Shanxi wine with a long history. In fact, the "sheep wine" widely circulated on the ancient Silk Road was Fenyang Fenyang Fenyang Fenyang Fenjiu in the Song Dynasty. Its popularity and popularity have a lot to do with Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. Because Song Taizu traveled to Shanxi in his early years and liked to drink Shanxi wine, he ordered Shanxi winemakers to use it for the court after he ascended the throne, so "sheep wine" became one of the court wines in the Song Dynasty. Until the Qing Dynasty, Yong Zhengdi secretly ordered Nian Gengyao to pay tribute to "mutton wine".

Du Guohua, an expert and cultural scholar on Mianshan, said in his speech that Tomb-Sweeping Day cold food originated in Mianshan, Jiexiu, Shanxi, with a history of 2,670 years. Du Mu's great-grandfather Du Hope was the magistrate of Xihe County, which was later Fenzhou, and was the father and mother of Mianshan. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Tomb-Sweeping Day's custom of sweeping graves and hiking became a common practice, which attracted the attention of the imperial court. When Du Mu was young, he made a strong tour of Fen Ancient Road and wrote a poem "Qingming", which contributed to the increase of the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday of cold food in the Tang Dynasty to seven days, allowing officials to calmly pay homage to the grave.

Zhao Jianmin, a professor at the School of Chinese Studies of Shanghai University and vice president of the China Wu Zetian Society, said in his speech that through the study of Du Mu's poems and materials, he has unique insights and strong feelings about the geography, humanities and military affairs of Bing (Taiyuan House), and Fenyang is an important county in Bing. I think that the apricot blossom village in Du Mu's poem Qingming refers to the apricot blossom village in Fenyang, and the shepherd boy in Fenyang, Bing really refers to the apricot blossom village.

Gao Chunping, director and researcher of the Institute of History of Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences and vice president of Shanxi Historical Society, made a concluding speech. He believed that the Tang Dynasty was a period of high development and prosperity of liquor culture in China, and it was also the peak period for Fenjiu to enter the international market for the second time. Poems by Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Wang Bo and Du Mu are widely circulated in Japan, Korea and other countries. "Tomb-Sweeping Day" written by Du Mu, a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty: "Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy will point out Xinghua Village", which made the Fenjiu in Xinghua Village famous at home and abroad again and became a famous sentence praising wine.

Fenjiu merchants in Ming and Qing Dynasties took Fenjiu as the leading industry, and the wide spread of distilled liquor technology in Xinghua Village of China began in the early Ming Dynasty. The main ways are: first, the spread of immigrants, a large number of Fenjiu brewing technicians followed the immigrant team and distributed in 18 provinces across the country, so Fenjiu brewing techniques were widely spread throughout the country. The second is the spread of Shanxi merchants. Today, liquor producing areas with a long history all over the country are often places where Shanxi merchants gather. In many places, liquor was formerly owned or shared by Shanxi merchants. Shanxi people brought Fenjiu technology to Guizhou to produce Moutai. Shanxi merchants entered Shaanxi and xifeng liquor was born. When Shanxi merchants arrived in Luzhou, the oldest pit in Luzhou appeared. Thus, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the road of Fenjiu communication constructed by Shanxi merchants outlined the layout of China liquor industry today.

The 6,000-year history of Xinghua Village Site, 2,000-year history of Fenyang County, 0/000-year history of Du Mu's poem Qingming, and 0/000-year history of Panamanian First Prize are unparalleled in the history of China wine. In my opinion, it can be proved that Fenjiu in Xinghua Village is the ancestral home of liquor, the soul of China liquor, and a place that Du Mu, a great poet in Tang Dynasty, does not need to demonstrate.
