    This is actually because in ancient times, the ancients believed that the number three was relatively the most complete. You will find that in fact, there are many statements about the record of numbers in ancient books. In the early days, in fact, if there was a mention of the number three, most of them were practices that represented some consummation and completeness.

    For example, in the Han Dynasty, in fact, if the emperor wanted to appear, it would probably use a form of three kowtows. In such a way, it can also be explained that the three actually represent a complete and complete meaning in the hearts of the ancientsYou have to do something three times, so that you can highlight its importance.

    In fact, at the very beginning, there was no such number as three, only one and two, so everyone has heard such sayings, such as saying that one is born, two is born, two is three, and three is everything. In fact, such a statement appears in Lao Tzu's doctrine, so such a statement, in fact, what it wants to express is that any unified thing will produce opposing sides.

    In fact, the importance of the number three can also be seen from many ancient doctrines in China, such as Confucianism. For example, I am three times a day, I am self-conscious, etc., such sayings are relatively common. In the custom of drinking, most of them will have nearly three glasses of wine and three glasses of wine, so this one three actually represents a perfect meaning.

    I hope that in this way, I can express my respect and importance for this matter

    This close friend, first of all, said that even the three cups of **: the ancients often drank with "Sanjue wine" as a gift, when drinking, the host must drink before the guest answered, called "offering". This ritual has a long history, and the host drinks first, which includes the meaning of implying to the guests that "the wine is not poisonous" and can be drunk with confidence.

    After the host has drunk, the guests also need to drink to pay homage to the host, and take the "sorrel", also known as "newspaper". In the end, in order to persuade the guests to drink more, the host must drink it first to advocate it, which is for "reward". After the host has drunk, the guests also raise their glasses to drink, which is to "entertain", that is, to respond to the host's kindness.

    The "first three cups" in many of our regions today may have evolved from this etiquette.

    Three shots in a row. Since ancient times, people have had a special understanding of "three". We often say that "two and no longer three is enough to show the particularity of this number, generally it is easier to go from "one" to "two", and it will be slightly difficult to reach "three", "three" may be the highest number used by the ancients, and in their eyes it is the most complete. Drawing on the above example of three glasses in a row, perhaps the punishment of three glasses of wine is derived from the meaning of "consummation":

    When the penalized person drank three glasses of wine, it means that he has completely admitted his mistake. Therefore, the penalty of three cups in a row is used to test whether the person being punished has the etiquette of recognizing his mistakes.

    In modern society, drinking three glasses in a row has often become a rhetoric used by drinking friends to adjust the atmosphere or persuade drinking, and finally the small wine bottle should warn all drinking friends: drink in moderation and drink healthily.

    Drinking is an important cultural phenomenon in Chinese dynasties, and drinking activities reflect the character, taste and spiritual sustenance of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have had a special understanding of the "three." The ancient Chinese believed that "three is the most complete."

    The Book of Laws says: "Numbers begin with one, end with ten, and become three." "Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the three out of the que has become a symbol of the emperor's majesty, such as the three out of the tree in front of the Hanyuan Hall in the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty; Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were buried together in front of the Qianling Mausoleum, and the ruins of the three exits can be distinguished so far.

    In folk proverbs, there are sayings such as "three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang" and "three people become tigers"; Another example is the three bows in the ritual and the three high-fives in the oath. Why does the "three" have such a special place in the minds of the Chinese? The bread here contains the philosophical connotation of the Chinese nation.

    In ancient times, our ancestors only had the numbers "one" and "two" at the earliest, and the concept of "three" came about after a long period of understanding and speculation. "Lao Tzu" said: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things."

    That is to say, the unified thing can be divided into two opposing sides, the two opposing sides give rise to the third one, and the new third one gives rise to something very different (all things). Confucianism also attaches great importance to the three, and the Analects says: "My day and three provinces of my body", "think three times before acting", etc., all emphasize this "three".

    In fact, this "three" is not just a quantitative "three", but a speculative method of selection. If "one" is one solution and "two" is another, which one is better? According to the logic of "two in one life, two in three or "three provinces" and "three thoughts", that is, neither "one" nor "two" plans, but take the length of the two plans, abandon the shortcomings of the two plans, and create the third plan of silver sales, which is the most complete than the first two plans.

    In the drinking customs of various ethnic groups in our country, there are many ways to persuade alcohol to "toast three glasses of wine" and "punish three glasses", and this "three" contains the most satisfactory meaning. The number of Kanaya sake is three buckets (drinking utensils) sake. Chu Renshu cites many sources in the book to explain the custom of punishing alcohol to "three" since ancient times.

    This is true for punishing wine, and the same is true for toasting, and the act of "three glasses of wine to toast relatives" has remained unchanged throughout the ages. On the banquet, the wind of free drinking after the three rounds of wine, not only the Han nationality, but also most of the ethnic minorities in the splitting Bokai are like this, "Wine Song Collection" said: At the Dong banquet, "the young relatives in the host designated seat hold a pot (commonly known as the 'wine commander'), responsible for pouring wine, persuading wine, and punishing wine."

    The first cup was turned from the left and drunk; The second cup is turned from the right, which is called 'left hair and right shun', and the third cup is self-drinking. The three glasses of wine at the beginning of this feast were toasted by everyone present, regardless of the amount of wine they had. It can be seen that the use of "three" in the toast shows that the toaster's love has been very satisfying, and the persuasion of the three tours of wine also means this; The penalty of three glasses of wine is also derived from the meaning of "consummation", and the meaning of "limit" is that the punished person drank three glasses of wine, indicating that he has completely admitted his mistake.

    Drinking is an important cultural phenomenon in ancient generations, and drinking activities reflect the character and spiritual sustenance of the nation.

    Since ancient times, the ancient people had a special understanding of three, and the ancients believed that three was the most complete, so why should they be punished with three glasses of wine? What exactly is the reason? The "Records of the Historians" law says: "Numbers begin with one, and finally become ten into three".

    Since the Han Dynasty, the three out of the que have become a symbol of the emperor's majesty. For example, the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace's Hanyuan Hall in front of the tree three out of the que, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian buried together in front of the Qianling three out of the que site, so far can be distinguished.

    In the folk proverb, there are three stinkers, a Zhuge Liang and three people become tigers, and then there are three bows in etiquette, three high-fives in oaths, etc., why?

    Three has such a special place in the minds of the ancients, where the bread contains the philosophical connotation of the nation, and in ancient times there were only two numbers, one and two! The three concepts are produced after a long period of understanding and speculation, Lao Tzu said that one is born, two is two, two is three, and three is all things.

    This is to say that unified things can be divided into opposites, the two sides, the two opposing sides produce a third person, and the new third person produces a thousand different things (all things), and Confucianism also attaches great importance to three, and the Analects says: I have three days and three reflections on my body, and I think twice before acting, etc., all of which emphasize three.

    In fact, this three is not just a quantitative three, but a kind of speculative optimization method, if one is a plan, the other is another plan, which plan to choose, according to the logic of life two, two life three or three lines of three thoughts, that is, neither one plan, nor two solutions, but take the length of two plans!

    From these two schemes, the third scheme is created, which is the most complete than the first two schemes, and in the drinking customs of various ethnic groups in China, there are many ways to persuade to drink by entering three glasses of wine and punishing three glasses.

    This three contains the most complete meaning of the number of Jingu wine is three doors (wine utensils) wine, indicating that since ancient times, the punishment of wine is to punish wine with the custom of three, and the same is true for toasting, and the act of toasting relatives with three cups of fine wine has been followed unchanged throughout the ages.

    On top of the banquet, the practice of drinking freely after thirty years of wine is not only the case of the Han people, but also most of the ethnic minorities. On the Dong banquet, the young relatives in the host's designated seat hold a pot (commonly known as the wine commander), responsible for pouring wine, persuading the wine to punish the wine, the first cup turns from the left, and the second cup is turned from the right, called the left hair and the right shun, and the third cup is the three cups of wine at the beginning of the self-drinker's wine banquet! Regardless of the guests and hosts, regardless of the amount of alcohol, everyone toasts, which shows that the toast is made with three, which shows that the love of the prohibitor has been very satisfying, and the persuasion of the three rounds of wine is also the meaning.

    And the penalty of three glasses of wine is also one of the limits derived from the meaning of perfection. The penalty person drank three glasses of wine, indicating that he had completely confessed his mistake. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

    This ancient philosophical consciousness has gradually penetrated into the drinking custom in the process of its circulation and evolution, and has been imperceptibly accepted by people!

    Because this "three" contains the most complete meaning. The reason is that for ancient people, "three" had a special meaning for them, which was a hurdle. In their opinion, no matter what they do, it is easy to go from "one" to "two", but when it comes to "three", it is different, and it will become more difficult.

    So in their eyes, no matter what, "three" is the most complete, which leads to the three rounds of wine. Therefore, the penalty for drinking will also be punished with three glasses, which means that I will definitely change it in the future and tell others your sincerity.
