SUMMARY:26th Annual Joseph & Lucy Lee Memorial Lecture: Wine and Ancient Chinese Literati
DESCRIPTION:
 Speaker: Professor Pingqiu An Director of the 
 Center for Ancient Chinese Classics & Archives 
 Peking University\n
 \n
 	China is the first 
 country in the world to make wine, as the earliest 
 archaeological evidence of wine fermentation 
 has been found at sites in China (circa 
 7000 BCE). Although wine has been produced 
 and consumed for millennia in China, it was 
 the literati (i.e., primarily literary men but 
 also some literary women) who added sophistication 
 to the culture of wine. This lecture 
 will use poetry, biographies, and historical 
 anecdotes to delineate the relationship among 
 wine, the ancient literati, and Chinese society.\n
