甘肅青銅器時代墓地新發現：三千七百年前的紅麴酒釀造秘辛
中國甘肅省一處距今三千七百年的青銅器時代墓地中，研究人員發現了紅麴酒的痕跡。這項發現揭示了類似現代清酒工藝的發酵劑「麴」的早期應用，為古代釀造技術與喪葬文化提供了新見解。
三千七百年前的古人如何釀酒？答案可能藏在中國西北的一處青銅器時代墓地中。最新研究指出，當時的人們使用一種由稻米和紅麴菌製成的發酵酒，並在喪葬儀式中扮演了舉足輕重的角色，藉此聯繫生者與逝者。
陶器中的古老秘密
根據今年10月發表於《考古科學期刊：報告》（Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports）的論文，由中國西北大學、甘肅省文物考古研究所及美國史丹佛大學的聯合研究團隊，在位於甘肅省的Mogou（磨溝）墓地有了重大發現。該墓地在西元前1700年至1100年間使用了600年，考古學家在2008至2012年的發掘工作中，發現了約5,000名逝者的安息之地。
釀酒之鑰：「麴」的早期應用
研究人員在陶器中發現的，不僅是酒精殘留物，更重要的是一種利用穀物、黴菌和酵母製成的發酵劑——也就是中文所稱的「麴」。這種技術與現代清酒或黃酒的釀造工藝可謂如出一轍，證明了早在數千年前，人類就已掌握了複雜的釀造知識。該遺址地處連接中亞與中原的交通要道，是古代文化交融的十字路口，這可能也促進了此類技術的傳播與演進。
