Medicinal liquor appeared during the Warring States period.
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing has a "Treatise on Soup Mash", which is dedicated to discussing the way of medicine. The so-called "soup" is the decoction of today's soup, and the "mash" is also the medicinal wine. Obviously, in the Warring States period, there was a relatively deep understanding of the medical effects of medicinal liquor.
From wine-making and drinking to wine appreciation and wine-talking, wine has penetrated into all aspects of human beings, and has gradually formed its own unique culture - wine culture. And the ancestors inadvertently ate the fermented melon juice and found that it can ** some diseases such as deficiency and cold abdominal pain, so that the wine and the original medical activities were bonded, and therefore the medicinal wine was slowly formed.

Since ancient times, there have been medicinal wine in our country, probably at that time during the Three Kingdoms period, because of the appearance of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, there are some records about the treatment of medicinal wine.

Medicinal wine appeared after the Tang Dynasty. Wine is known as "the length of a hundred medicines.""It is known as traditional Chinese medicine and wine"Dissolve"The all-in-one medicinal liquor is not only convenient to prepare, stable in medicinal properties, safe and effective. Ethanol, the main component of wine, is a good semi-polar organic solubilizer, and most water-soluble substances and water cannot be dissolved.
A variety of components of traditional Chinese medicine, such as alkaloids, salts, tannins, volatile oils, organic acids, resins, sugars and some pigments, are easily dissolved in ethanol.
Traditional Chinese medicine soaking wine has a history of thousands of years in our country, and the "Neijing Su Wen" contains "the ancient sages made soup wild round no liquid mash", and "mash" is a medicinal wine for curing diseases. To this day, medicinal liquor is still widely used.
Medicinal liquor, also known as liquor, is a clear liquid preparation obtained by extracting medicinal materials from liquor, mostly for internal use, a few for external use, and some medicinal liquor is effective for both internal and external use.

Folk usually use the cold soaking method, that is, the medicinal materials and liquor are placed in a closed container, soaked at room temperature, stirred regularly, and generally macerated for more than 30 days.

Regarding the origin of medicinal wine, there are old sayings of the Shang, Tang and Song dynasties.
Recently, Chen Hongfei and Chen Ming wrote an article in the "Science Expo", and put forward the theory that medicinal wine originated in the Ming Dynasty.
According to them, "medicinal liquor refers to the liquor obtained by macerating the dregs of plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and animal carcasses, as well as internal organs and mineral chemical products, in a certain proportion and with wine, for a certain period of time."
According to this definition, they denied that the "snake wine" in the inscription of the Shang Dynasty and the "Snake Wine" in the Tang Dynasty's Li Zhao's "National History Supplement" and Tian Xi's "Qu Ben Cao" in the Song Dynasty were medicinal wines.
However, they only use Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty as evidence to assert that the origin of medicinal wine in the Ming Dynasty is "in line with historical facts", which is probably arbitrary.
In ancient China, there was a custom of drinking Tusu wine on New Year's Day.
Tusu wine is a kind of medicinal wine.
Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" includes the recipe of Tusu wine and which rock to fight, and specially noted: "Chen Yanzhi's "Sketch Fang" cloud: This Hua Tuo recipe is also.
Chen Yanzhi was a medical scientist in the Jin Dynasty.
Hua Tuo was a medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Han and Jin dynasties are not far apart, and Chen Yanzhi said that Tusu wine was invented by Hua Tuo at the end of the Han Dynasty and should be credible.
In short, the author believes that it is too late to say that medicinal wine originated in the Ming Dynasty.
To say that medicinal liquor originated in the Han Dynasty at the latest is probably closer to historical facts.
