Drinking white spirit has been taking an important role in Chinese people's life from emperors to ordinary people for a long time. Drinking white spirit is a part of Chinese culture. Chinese ancestors enjoyed drinking white spirit while writing poems or proses and they also toasted their relatives and friends at the feast. But drinking white spirit is not only for scholars, it is also an indispensable part of Chinese ordinary people's life. People drink white spirit on various occasions, such as the birthday party, farewell dinner, wedding banquet, etc. When someone moves into a new house or starts doing business, he/she will invite people for dinner and drinking white spirit.
長期以來，飲酒（white spirit）在中國人的生活中一直扮演著重要的角色，無論是帝王還是百姓。飲酒是中國文化的一部分。中國人的祖先在作詩、寫散文時喜歡飲酒，在宴會上還會向親戚朋友敬酒。但飲酒不僅屬于文化人，也是普通人生活中不可缺少的一部分。人們在各種場合飲酒，如生日宴會、餞行宴會、婚禮宴會（wedding banquet）等。搬進新房或生意開業(yè)時，也會邀請人們來吃飯、飲酒。
