唐朝酒文化中的西域元素

Western Region Elements in Wine Culture of Tang Dynasty

唐朝疆域面积广大、国力强盛、开放包容、民族众多,唐朝文化异常多样璀璨,这其中包括唐朝的酒文化。在丝绸之路东西往来频繁的基础上,唐朝酒文化中的西域元素众多,如从西域引进的葡萄在唐朝种植广泛,中唐之后,葡萄酒酿造技术亦被唐朝引进,在全国推广,成为广受欢迎的酒的品种之一。再如来自波斯的三勒浆酒酿造技术通过来唐胡人引进推广,三勒浆酒亦成为唐朝非常流行的酒的品种之一。更为具有特色的是胡人酒肆中貌美如花的胡姬,在唐人笔下跃然纸上。胡姬酒肆中的酒器,亦充满异域风格。唐朝酒文化中的这些西域元素,构成唐朝酒文化的主要特征,成为唐朝璀璨文化的一个缩影。
