Why is Shaoxing Huangjiu the most rhythmic wine?(2)

Yun (Rhythm), as a Chinese character, came into being later, and first appeared in the new appendix of Shuowen. The character is related to music and sound and it means harmonious and pleasant sound. In addition, it has become one of the basic elements of ancient poetry.

Chinese people can comprehend rhythm in music and then they extend it to other art forms and the aesthetics of daily life. In China, we often say that this painting has unique rhythm, this calligraphy work has unique rhythm, this garden has unique rhythm, and this pot has unique rhythm. Even when we appreciate a beautiful woman, we often say that this beautiful woman has unique rhythm. Therefore, when we talk about rhythm, we are actually engaged in aesthetic activities, and it is a word belonging to the spiritual category. Rhythm is an important perspective to understand Chinese art and an important difference between Chinese art and Western art. And it is also an important embodiment of Chinese culture and Chinese character. The explanation of rhythm in the dictionary is not enough to express the meaning conveyed by the word in Chinese aesthetic activities for thousands of years. I try to describe the rhythm more closely to its original meaning, but I can't describe it very clearly.
