The starting point of my book "Amber Shine and Black Dragon Pearls - The History of Chinese Wine Culture" (written in German language, more than 400 pages, Deutsche Ostasienstudien 26, OSTASIEN Verlag, Gossenberg, 2019) are the early Eurasian connections with Chinese wine and alcohol culture since the Neolithic period and its relations with human evolution. This treatise is depicting the history of wine (putaojiu and generally alcohol (jiu ;i) in China within Eurasian contexts from prehistoric times up to the present in thirteen chapters. For the first time it attempts to cover a space of around nine thousand years presenting the various facets of mankind's oldest continuing alcohol culture from an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account all kinds of evolutionary, anthropological, archaeological, ethnographic, biochemical, historical, mythological, philosophical, religious, medical, literary, linguistic, artistic, socioeconomic and political aspects. The crucial impetus has been given by the discovery of the Neolithic settlement of Jiahu, China (9000 BP), v&\ere the world's oldest alcoholic beverage with residues of wild grape has been located and by the discovery of the earliest wine production in Georgia (8000 BP). Abundant other recent findings, facts and perspectives are presented and discussed and lead to a new understanding of human evolution, the rise of Eurasian and Chinese civilizations and the close connection with the cultivation of wine and alcohol from distinct points of view.The early genesis of alcohol culture in China can be ascribed to the extraordinary varieties of indigenous Vitis species. Besides, several recent discoveries in China and in other Eurasian alcohol cultures shed a new light on synchronic developments and prehistoric exchange. In this context a general survey is given of the development of China's unique alcohol culture focusing on grape wine culture in different regions and epochs as well as on long-distance contacts with Central Asia (especially Persian-lranian culture), Near East and the Caucasian region along the Eurasian trade routes and throughout all historical epochs. Conclusively, outstanding examples of indigenous vitiand viniculture in Northern and Southern China as well as an overview of latest developments and future trends in globalizing contexts, finally new data of China’s rise to world class are given.

我的著作《琥珀闪耀与黑龙珍珠--中国葡萄酒文化史》（德语，400多页，Deutsche Ostasienstudien 26，OSTASIEN Verlag，Gossenberg，2019）的出发点是新石器时代以来欧亚早期与中国葡萄酒和酒精文化的联系及其与人类进化的关系。本论文以十三章的篇幅描述了中国葡萄酒（葡萄酒）和一般酒精（酒）在欧亚背景下从史前到现在的历史。它第一次试图涵盖约九千年的空间，从跨学科的方法呈现人类最古老的持续酒精文化的各个方面，考虑到各种进化，人类学，考古学，人种学，生物化学，历史，神话，哲学，宗教，医学，文学，语言学，艺术，社会经济和政治方面。新石器时代中国贾湖定居点的发现（9000 BP），世界上最古老的含有野生葡萄残渣的酒精饮料的发现，以及格鲁吉亚最早的葡萄酒生产的发现（8000 BP），都给了这一重要的推动力。大量的其他最新发现、事实和观点被提出和讨论，并从不同的角度对人类进化、欧亚和中国文明的兴起以及与葡萄酒和酒精的种植的密切联系有了新的认识。中国酒精文化的早期起源可以归因于本土葡萄属物种的非凡多样性。此外，最近在中国和其他欧亚酒文化中的一些发现为共时发展和史前交流提供了新的线索。在此基础上，概述了中国独特的酒文化的发展，重点介绍了不同地区、不同时代的葡萄酒文化，以及沿沿着欧亚商路与中亚（特别是波斯-伊朗文化）、近东和高加索地区的远距离接触，以及各个历史时期的葡萄酒文化。最后，介绍了中国北方和南方葡萄种植的典型案例，以及全球化背景下的最新发展和未来趋势，最后给出了中国崛起为世界级葡萄种植的新数据。
