(Summary description)Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator in modern times, was born in Shaoxing and grew up in Shaoxing. He has a preference for Shaoxing wine. According to his friends, although he has worked in other places for decades, he has always maintained the habits and hobbies he has cultivated in his hometown since he was a child. He likes Shaoxing wine and he must drink it at all meals. Every year, he asks his relatives and friends to buy a few jars of wine from Shaoxing and transport them to him for self-drinking or treats at home. In addition to Shaoxing wine, most of Cai Yuanpei's snacks are specialties of Shaoxing, such as dried vegetables and mildew. During the holidays, he also asked relatives and friends to mail him Shaoxing New Year goods such as sauced duck, glutinous chicken, and dried fish. Even the jug he usually uses is a tin jug brought from Shaoxing. It has a circle inside and outside, with an interlayer in the middle. It can be filled with hot water to warm the wine in cold weather. Cai Yuanpei is an inquirer from a university, with an easy-going temperament and a gentle temperament. He is always humble and gentle when dealing with people and things. He pays attention to drinking etiquette when drinking banquets. Regardless of whether men, women, young or old toast him, he must toast in return. Once, one of his students accompanied Cai Yuanpei to Ningbo and stayed at the house of a friend named Huanggong'ao in Xiangshan. Historian was warm and thoughtful. The owner knew that Cai Yuanpei had a good wine. In addition to wine for lunch and dinner, he also prepared a variety of dishes for breakfast. This student also loves wine, but has no habit of drinking morning wine, so he upside down the wine glass on the dinner table, indicating that he does not drink morning wine. Afterwards, Cai Yuanpei told him that it was not good to do this and it was not in line with the etiquette of the wine table. If the host fills a glass, you don't drink it. Put it there, and people will know that you don't drink the morning wine and will not force you, but if you press the glass upside down, it seems that you don't show enough respect for the host. This student was very inspired, and when others toasted to him in the future, he would definitely pay attention to etiquette like his teacher Cai Yuanpei, and reciprocate respectfully.
