饮酒环境的最高境界——和

"He (Harmony)" is the Highest State of Drinking Environment

酒文化是中国饮食文化的重要组成部分,饮酒环境的选择在酒文化中具有重要地位。美酒的色、香、味、形、器的完美统一构成了饮酒的小意境之和,而饮酒的时、空、人、事的协调一致,则构成了饮酒的大意境之和。中国人追求的饮酒环境的最高境界就是“和”。“和”是一种尽善尽美的境界,是中国酒文化、中国饮食文化和整个中国民族文化的特点,也是中国人生政治、伦理、审美所追求的最高境界。

Wine culture is the essential component of Chinese dietary culture and the choice of drinking environment plays an important part in wine culture. The perfect unity of color, fragrance, flavor, shape and wine utensils constitutes the harmony of small drinking environment, hut the consistent coordination of opportunity, space, person and matter constitutes the harmony of great drinking environment. The highest state of drinking environment that Chinese people pursue is ＂He （Harmony）＂. This is a kind of perfect realm, representing the characteristics of Chinese wine culture, Chinese dietary culture and the whole Chinese nation＇s culture. It also reflects the ideal perfect state of politics, ethics and appreciation of beauty in Chinese people＇s life.
