一 | 评论发表。 Chinese archaeologists have uncovered 2,300-year-old grain wine residues from a cemetery of people from Qin State during the Warring States Period (475BC-221BC) – roughly the time of Aristotle – in Northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, revealing the ancient wine’s ingredients and brewing methods through multidisciplinary analysis. The archaeologists recovered 3,740 milliliters of ancient liquid remains from a Qin-style bronze garlic-head-shaped pot. The bronze vessel’s double-layer sealing method, textiles inside and muddy outside, preserved the over 2,000-year-old wine with minimal evaporation, making it the most complete and information-rich Warring States Period Qin State-era alcohol relic publicly reported in China. 。
