Yellow rice wine is one of the three ancient wines in the world. It originated in China and is unique to China. In the Chinese rice wine industry, Shaoxing rice wine is the most representative.With the development and spread of diversified wine cultures around the world, the handmade yellow rice wine, one of the representatives of Shaoxing culture, is gradually lost. Most young people pursue more “fresh” wines such as wine and beer. Can we use light to record the “life” of handmade yellow rice wine, make light a medium to express yellow rice wine, awaken people’s memory of handmade yellow rice wine, give new vitality to this ancient craft, and continue to inherit it in modern times.Many Shaoxing traditional distilleries have the habit of carving wine seals. Each year, when new yellow rice wine is made, a new wine seal will be carved and sealed when the altar is sealed as a record.We extracted the concept of wine chapter from people’s behavior and took it as a sign to record the ripening process of yellow rice wine.The acrylic wine seal wall is set on the side facing the street of the store. When making new wine every year, the store owner can take an engraved seal from the wall and put the seal back on the wall after the batch of yellow rice wine is sealed.Yellow rice wine samples can be stored in the wine chapter, and the built-in light in the wine chapter can be used to express the maturity of the wine. With the change of time, the color of the wine chapter gradually deepens. In the process of new brewing – maturity – five years old – ten years old, the color of the wine chapter changes in white – yellow – Orange – red and other colors.Through this wall, guests can know when the new wine is made in the store, and the maturity and time of the wine.
