A brief discussion on how Shandong people drink alcohol 123

When talking about the folk customs of Shandong, we have to mention the custom of "drinking" among Shandong people. In ancient times, in the Shuibo Liangshan area, the custom of drinking in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat is still as smooth as it was back then. When coming to Shandong, no matter men, women, old or young, they must have a sip. "If you don't know, drink less." This is a reflection of the warm hospitality of the proud Shandong people. The heroic spirit of Shandong people when drinking is obvious to all, so Shandong is rich in two things, fine wine and heroes. When Shandong people "drink", they have strict regulations on where guests sit, serve food, and the rules when drinking.

Shandong people "drink" have certain rules on where each guest sits, and the guests are divided into different places. Accompanying guest, deputy guest of honor, guest of honor, third guest, fourth guest, and so on. The "host accompanying" is the first person to treat guests, and his main function is basically the owner of the village. Grasp the time of the banquet, the level of drinking, etc.

The "secondary companion" is the second person in the party who is hosting the party. The position is opposite the main companion, that is, with his back to the door. This position is more of a leader. The guest drinks. The "guest of honor" is the first person on the guest's side, and is located to the right of the "main companion." The "deputy guest of honor" is the second person on the guest's side, and is located on the left of the "main companion." The "three guests" are the third person on the guest's side, located to the right of the "secondary companion". The "fourth guest" is the fourth person on the guest's side, and their position is to the left of the "secondary companion." < /p>

"Drinking" in Shandong is not just serving food, but also pouring tea, wine, etc. All starting positions start from the position of guest of honor, the first dish served, and the host accompanying the person. Using serving chopsticks to give the guest of honor a chopstick shows respect for the guests and also indicates that everyone can eat the dish. Regardless of whether the guest likes the dish or not, he should take a bite first after thanking him (if it is a national custom such as the Hui people). It should be mentioned in advance. The host will be prepared when making arrangements. If the guest has special taboos, he can explain the reason and refuse the dish. The host will put the chopsticks on his own plate, and others can still accept it. It is the signal to start eating).

Drinking heralds the official start of the banquet. Therefore, the host must initiate the drinking.

The container of liquor is usually 3 by 2 or 2 by 2. That is, pour three or four glasses of a bottle of liquor.

The more formal way of drinking liquor in Shandong Province is to drink the first glass in six sips, and then drink as much as you like.

The order of the drinks is: the host will take three drinks, and the assistant will take three drinks. Before this, the guest cannot take the initiative to toast. The ratio of beer is one to six or one to eight. Get rid of it. After the host and the assistant are finished, the host will announce the start of free time. Under normal circumstances, everyone on the host side, including the host and the assistant, will have a drink with each guest. The enthusiastic host will. Drink twice with each person, so-called "in a country of etiquette, drink in pairs". In a general sense, the guests return the favor once to each host. Finally, the host will invite everyone to have a last drink, which is a signal that the banquet is over, commonly known as "menqing." ", the requirement is to finish the last drink.

Generally speaking, drinking rules are different in different parts of Shandong Province, and the intensity of drinking is also different, especially in Jiaodong, such as Qingdao, Weihai and Yantai. Because these places are close to the sea, it is not suitable to drink beer when eating seafood, as you will get a disease called "gout", so drinking is the most popular in the Jiaodong area near the sea. But drinking in Shandong is very practical, and the host drinks it at the same time when toasting the guests. . So if you are drinking in Shandong and meet a host who cannot drink, you can feel much more relaxed.

Since ancient times, alcohol has been popular in Shandong, and the folk customs are simple. Most people drink strong alcohol and spicy alcohol. In today's fierce competition for liquor, most young people in Shandong now drink pure grain liquor, high-strength liquor, and sorghum puree liquor as the mainstream drinking style. Nowadays, it is advocated to drink delicious and healthy drinks.

Shandong is the "hometown of Confucius and Mencius" and a land of etiquette. Its extensive and profound cultural heritage has endowed Shandong people with a simple, honest, generous and hospitable character. "Shandong Han" has become the symbol of Shandong people's character and physique. synonym.

Shandong has rich folk customs, and people pay attention to nostalgia, friendship, and family affection. During traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Spring Festival, lantern fairs, mountain fairs, temple fairs, and moon appreciation parties are held everywhere. There are colorful folk entertainment activities such as parties and performances of dragon lanterns, land boat racing, Yangko dancing, stilt walking and other folk customs.

Reasons for formation:

1. From ancient times to the present, Shandong folk culture has continued to have exchanges between regions due to regional differences, immigration, transportation, seeking jobs abroad, etc., which is reflected in folk customs. Evolution has formed a situation of both absorption and openness. In the eastern coastal areas, fishing customs and the custom of going out for business are the most prominent. Among the fishing villages, Rizhao, Rongcheng, Penglai, Changdao and other places are the most typical. In the Yimeng Mountain area in southeastern Shandong, ancient culture originated earlier. It has mountainous characteristics and retains many traditional folklore phenomena. Southwestern Shandong and northwestern Shandong are alluvial plains of the Yellow River. Folklore events are closely connected with the ancient Yellow River and have unique characteristics.

2. The folk culture brought by immigration has had a profound impact on Shandong folk customs. In the early Ming Dynasty, the policy of "immigration to widen the countryside" was implemented. From the second year of Hongwu to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of immigrants moved from Dahuaishu, Hongdong County, Shanxi to Shandong, Dezhou, Binzhou, Liaocheng, Tai'an, Heze, and Jining. Some of them They also moved eastward from Binzhou area. In this way, Shanxi folk customs have influenced Shandong, such as not lighting a fire for cooking during the Cold Food Festival.

Many of the residents of several counties in northern Shandong (today's Liaocheng area) immigrated from Zaoqiang County, Zhili (today's Hebei Province) in the early Ming Dynasty. Where they lived, New Year paintings, clay toys and other folk art still have the same style as Zaoqiang. Similar ones, such as cloth tigers, clay dolls, woodblock New Year paintings, kites, etc. in Liaocheng and Weifang are well-known at home and abroad.

In the early Ming Dynasty, most of the immigrants from Sichuan to Shandong were concentrated in Laizhou. Therefore, the customs of Laizhou were often different from those of its eastern neighbors. There were also immigrants from many cities in Shandong, and their folk customs were also different.

The wharf towns along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that flourished in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, such as Dezhou, Linqing, Liaocheng (Dongchang), Jining, etc. in Shandong, were influenced by water transportation from the north to the south, and their customs were closely related to those in Shandong. There are many differences in other areas. Most of these towns have a Bamboo Alley, where bamboo weaving shops common in Jiangnan are concentrated. The teahouses set up on the street have roughly the same layout for selling tea and drinking tea. Jining's Yutang Sauce Garden moved from Suzhou along the canal. Its products still maintain the Jiangnan style and still use the "Gusu Old Store" sign.

A typical example of the exchange of folk culture brought about by going out to find a job is the historical Shandong people who went to Guandong, or "traveled to Guandong". There are roughly two different types of people from Shandong who come to Guandong: one is to move with their families to villages and mountainous areas in the Northeast, which is a type of escape, and is commonly known as "forced to have no choice but to travel to Guandong"; the other is to live in Shandong but spend most of their lives doing business in the Northeast. , commonly known as "residence field". They brought the customs of Shandong to the Northeast and brought the customs of the Northeast back to Shandong. Long-term exchanges have resulted in many similarities in the folk culture of the two places. In particular, some folk tales with the same content, such as the story of the bald-tailed old plum and ginseng, are widely circulated in Shandong and Northeast China. Shandong customs are most influenced by the Northeast, especially in Jiaodong.

Shandong’s regional culture is highly individual and inclusive. Traditional crafts with a long history such as kites, woodblock New Year pictures, paper-cuts, cloth toys, pots with inner paintings, Lu embroidery, Lu brocade, and Lu inkstones, local operas such as Lu Opera, Liuzi Opera, Shandong Bangzi, martial arts, and acrobatics are very popular among tourists. Shandong cuisine is the first of the eight major cuisines in China and is the foundation and representative of northern cuisine. Among them, the three branches of Jinan cuisine, Jiaodong cuisine and Kongfu cuisine have their own merits and complement each other.
