Features: The first of its kind, a shocking combination, a wine poem worth 10 million. A book that can be drunk, The of the Wine God, has taken the stage. Who hasn’t read The of the Wine God? Who hasn’t truly drunk? The longest poem about wine in the history of world poetry, the most mysterious work after The Centuries. Written in a half-intoxicated state over six years of drinking. China is a major producer and consumer of wine, with 40,000 wineries nationwide, and the Baijiu consumption group alone reaches 300 million people. The production and consumption of wine are both commercial activities and an embodiment of civilized behavior. The national habits, social customs, and humanistic sentiments reflected in the wine consumption process constitute the form of wine culture. Wine culture is a part of traditional Chinese culture and represents the highest ratio in wine production and consumption. China is a country with a strong tradition of poetry, and poetry is the essence of traditional Chinese culture, as well as the essence of wine culture. Combining excellent poetry, especially modern poetry, with high-quality Chinese wine to create a new variety of “poetry and wine” has never been thought of or done before. This cross-over between poetry and wine, integrating the development of poetic art with the development of wine products, has created a poetry and wine culture unparalleled in history. Previously, little was known about Zhao Hongchen’s dedicated pursuit of poetry and wine creation. The 3,600-line The of the Wine God now unfolds before us—brilliant, singing through the ages, stirring the soul, and overflowing with the fragrance of wine, possessing a vastness and loftiness like the sky. It entices readers to return again and again, lingering in its allure, immersing them in a dreamlike realm of poetry and wine.
