《四民月令》 / Simin Yueling

《四民月令》 / Simin Yueling enters this wiki through Hanji 150 PLUS New Year special as the Eastern Han text the episode cites for pepper-cypress wine. The source uses it to show that the drink was not only a later literary image but had an early seasonal-custom record.

In the episode’s explanation, “椒” is pepper and “柏” is cypress leaf. Their fragrance, longevity, and protection meanings make the drink part of 元旦节日层累 and Festival Food Material History, where plants, health hopes, and ritual action sit together.
