The ancients drank alcohol not only for the pleasure of the tongue, but also for emotional communication and social norms. The "Three Lords" they follow can be said to be the core of the wine table culture. The first cup is called "dedication", and the host expresses his sincere welcome and respect for the guests; This glass not only symbolizes the purity and harmlessness of the wine, but also a sincere invitation from the host to invite guests to taste it with confidence, and the guests will also return a glass to show their gratitude. As for the third cup of "reward", it is the guest and the host toasting together, celebrating friendship and sharing joy, from which the word "entertainment" is derived.
As for why the punishment of wine should also follow the rule of "three cups", it actually reflects the wisdom and principle of the ancients - "no more than three things". When someone accidentally makes a mistake or is rude, by drinking three glasses in a row, it not only expresses deep apology, but also shows the determination to correct the mistake and not repeat the mistakes of the past. These three glasses of punishment are not only a reflection on their own behavior, but also a commitment to future actions.
"Three glasses" is not just a simple number, it is an important symbol in traditional Chinese wine culture, carrying a profound historical accumulation and the subtle art of interpersonal communication. The next time you raise your glass, you might as well reminisce about the beauty of this etiquette that spans thousands of years, so that each "three glasses" has a deeper connotation and stronger emotion.
