The Inheritance and Development of Shanxi Daizhou Yellow Millet Wine การสืบสานและพัฒนาสุราเหลืองเมืองไต้โจวมณฑลซานซี

Abstract

With socio-economic progress, technological advancements, and the exploration of cultural resources, the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage have garnered increasing attention.           As a significant component of Chinese liquor culture, Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine brewing techniques were included in the third batch of the “Intangible Cultural Heritage List” of Shanxi Province in 2011.

This article aims to provide reference and guidance for the development and inheritance of Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine, promoting sustainable development. Within the framework of intangible cultural heritage, the study focuses on Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine, employing methods such as literature review, interviews, and questionnaire surveys. The exploration is divided into three main sections: first, the production background of Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine; second, the brewing process, inheritance methods, current development status, and challenges of Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine; and third, proposing strategies for the inheritance and development of Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine. 

The research findings reveal that Shanxi Daizhou yellow millet wine, in its process of inheritance and development, shares similarities and challenges with many traditional crafts under the purview of intangible cultural heritage. However, it also possesses its uniqueness. The fundamental discoveries include: 1) Identifying inheritors of the brewing techniques within the consumer community of Daizhou yellow millet wine; 2) Introducing two new modes of inheritance for Daizhou yellow millet wine, namely “alternating inheritance between family and society" and "southern techniques and northern materials inheritance”; 3) For small to medium-scale intangible cultural heritage crafts like Daizhou yellow millet wine, industrialisation emerges as the preferred and optimal means for fostering the inheritance and development of traditional craftsmanship.
