There is also a saying that Yi Di invented wine mash, and Shaokang (i.e., Du Kang) invented rice wine. Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned in "Shuowen Jiezi Wine Note" that Yi Di made wine mash, and Xia Yu felt that it was too good to drink it, and he was afraid of indulging in it, so he alienated Yi Di. "Taiping Yulan" quotes "Shiben": "Yi Di began to make wine mash and changed five flavors. Shaokang is a rice wine." "Moromi" is a type of "moromi lees" made by fermenting glutinous rice. The sex is soft, its taste is sweet, and it is mostly produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Nowadays, many families still have homemade mash. The mash is white and delicate, the thick paste can be used as a staple food, and the clear juice on it is quite close to wine.
