Do you know how martial arts masters cheat reasonably?
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan competed in the amount of wine.
When the former drinks, he uses internal force to force the liquor out of his fingertips, while the latter sees that it is not a way to drink it like this.
So Zhu Cong, a brilliant scholar, proposed that the two fight alone.
As a result, Qiu Chuji was defeated after a while, and he was admired.
In fact, Zhu Cong is not a strange person who can't pour a thousand glasses, he just poured all the wine into the bucket in his sleeve.
The ancients drank alcohol and had to cover it with long sleeves, so Qiu Chuji naturally couldn't see the specific scene, and in the end he could only be willing to gamble and lose.
So, why did the ancients have such a habit?
The ancients said: "A person's life lies in knowing etiquette and keeping etiquette." ”
In ancient societies, there were certain etiquettes that had to be observed for different identities and occasions.
Ding, pot, altar, bottle, jue, cup, bowl and other wine vessels, whether it is the system, or the size, or the pattern, and even the material must correspond to the etiquette of heaven and earth.
There are detailed rules on what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of etiquette to perform, and what kind of drinking utensils to use.
For example, in the Book of Rites, it is mentioned that "the guest and the host shall bow a hundred times, and shall not be drunk all day long", even if they drink all day, they cannot get drunk.
Everything is centered on "rites", which is also the confidence of China in ancient times to regard "all the countries of the world are barbarians".
Therefore, drinking should be covered with sleeves, which is the embodiment of "etiquette".
In terms of appearance, looking up at people and looking at people with their nostrils so domineering, is it because they don't die fast enough?
If Liu Bei faced Cao Cao with such an arrogant attitude when Qingmei was cooking wine, perhaps, we would not see the famous scene of "Today's heroes, only the king and the ear" will evolve into the drama of "After you die, your wife and I will support yourself".
Moreover, the ancients generally grew beards and beards, whether they drank wine or water, they would always get a little bit of it, and it was rashly displayed in front of others, which was not very elegant.
Therefore, in order to maintain a dignified image, literati would use sleeves to cover their ugliness.
So, sometimes I want to complain about those film and television dramas, why do I do so many fancy things?
For example, copying poems to become a talented woman, and using plant ash to make soap, in fact, a straw is enough to cause a sensation.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, people's robes were wide, mostly with hanging sleeves, and drinking was blocked by sleeves, and the movements were done in one go, which was quite elegant.
But this kind of drinking etiquette is exclusive to nobles and scholars, and military generals don't care so much, they hold up their wine glasses with both hands and drink with their heads up, which is no different from modern drinking behaviors.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, from the emperor of the court to the small people in the market, whether it was ethics or dressing, there was an open wind.
Although the wine ceremony still exists, it has been simplified a lot, and the sleeve obscuration has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.
