Abstract: In China, wine culture has a history of thousands of years and is deeply embedded in the fabric of Chinese civilization. Starting with the Book of Songs (Shijing), generations of scholars have expressed the spiritual connotations of wine through poetry, forming a unique “fusion of poetry and wine culture”. As a major cultural cradle of China, the Yangtze River Basin has long been an important source of inspiration for literary creation. The close integration of wine and poetry in this region has become one of its distinctive cultural features. To explore this phenomenon, this study collected and organized place names, wine culture vocabulary, and poetry related to wine from Tang and Song dynasties, drawing upon classical texts and online repositories of ancient poetry, resulting in a dataset the geographic distribution of wine culture in Poetry of Tang and Song dynasties in the Yangtze River Basin. This dataset consists of a wine culture classification and code table, a glossary of ancient Chinese wine culture terms, a table mapping ancient and modern place name in the Yangtze River Basin, a metadata table of Tang-Song poetry in the Yangtze River Basin, a table extracting place names and wine culture vocabulary from Tang-Song poetry, and a table mapping place names in the Tang-Song poetry with their corresponding wine culture classifications. Data entries have undergone multiple rounds of manual verification to ensure its completeness and accuracy. Using this dataset, researchers can extract temporal and spatial information from poetry and uncover the deep connection between wine culture and poetic creation by mapping wine culture terms to their corresponding classifications. The dataset provides new data support for the dissemination and study of wine culture in the Yangtze River Basin.
