The God Of wine ---Du Kang

Such as the Roman myth,in Chinese myth there is the God of Wine.Being different from other myth,the god is a real person not fabricated.He is Dukang.The famous liquor Du Kang is ranked high in the culture of Chinese liquors. It is characterized by a light yellowish, nearly transparent look, and a hot and smooth taste, as well as its prolonged alcoholic effect. People like Du Kang and like to talk about its derivation. Here is a legend of how Du Kang came to exist:

Dukang lived with his uncle together.  A short time later, Du Kang and his uncle went to help with the landlord's harvest. When they returned several weeks later, a miraculous transformation had occurred.  The first thing they noticed was a fragrant odor, which they traced to the hole of the tree. The uncle reached in and pulled out a piece of something sticky, like the millet bread they usually ate. The ferment had become that way after getting rained on. The uncle was touched by his nephew's kindness.   However, Du Kang was even more excited by the yellowish liquid that bled out of the food. Tasting it, he discovered it was wonderful to drink. The Uncle and Du Kang offered the liquid to people nearby. Eventually, they opened a workshop to make the liquor by fermenting the steamed millet powder with water. And the liquor came to be named after its inventor, Du Kang.

The best place to read a legend on how a famous liquor came to be invented is while sitting and having a taste, with the liquor of course being served in pretty bottles rather than taken from the hole of a tree. In many restaurants, you can find a quotation on the wall taken from Cao Cao, a famous Chinese general and poet: "What's the remedy for my grief? Of course, it's Du Kang!" Today, people appreciate Du Kang for both its historic fame and reasonable price (as well as the taste, of course!).
