In the Han Dynasty, there was "wolf sauce wine" in the area of Maotai Town. "Zunyi Mansion Chronicles" contains: wolf sauce, the beginning of wine.

Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records": in the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (135 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Tang Meng to send an envoy to Nanyue, and Tang Meng drank the sauce wine produced in Nanyue (now the area of Renhuai County, where Maotai Town is located), and brought this wine back to Chang'an, and presented Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu drank and "sweet", and left the legend of "Tang Meng drank the sauce and made Yelang". This became the beginning of Moutai out of the deep mountains, and since then, it has been famous as a tribute to the imperial court.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, Moutai gradually became a tribute wine of successive dynasties, and spread overseas through the Southern Silk Road.

In the Qing Dynasty, the liquor industry in Moutai Town flourished, and famous liquors such as "Moutai Chun", "Moutai Burning Spring" and "Tongsha Moutai" became famous. "Hua Mao" is the predecessor of Moutai. The earliest historical book that can be found so far is the "Renhuai Caozhi", which was written in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, which has the record of "making liquor in Moutai Village in the west of the city, and the whole Guizhou is called the first".

In the forty-third year of the Kangxi reign (1704), the "Yansheng Burning House" officially named its liquor Moutai.

1. The legend of Moutai.

A thousand years ago, there were only a dozen households in Moutai Village on the banks of the Chishui River, and people's wine-making skills were very ordinary.

One year, there was a lot of snowfall. Then a girl in rags went to the village, and an old couple saw that she was pitiful, and kindly took her in, and when she was very cold, they took out the wine they had brewed and gave it to the girl, and after the girl drank it, she stayed at his house. In the middle of the night, the old man had a dream, he dreamed that he saw a fairy in a trance, holding a cup full of wine, pouring the wine into the Chishui River, and said to the old man:

Well-wishers, please remember that every year on September 9, wine is brewed by the Chishui River. And with that, the man was gone. The next morning, the old man woke up to find that the girl was gone.

Since then, on September 9 every year, the river water is exceptionally pure, so until now Moutai is "Chongyang Xiasha". According to this legend, Moutai Distillery used the pattern of "Flying Immortal" as a trademark.

2. Moutai records.

According to historical records, it was originally called "goji sauce wine". As early as more than 2,000 years ago, the abundance of wolf-sauce wine in the area of present-day Moutai Town was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as "luscious", and since then, it has been famous as a tribute to the imperial court.

According to historical records, in 135 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Tang Meng to send an envoy to Nanyue, and Tang Meng drank the sauce wine produced in Nanyue (the area of Renhuai County, where Maotai Town is located today), and brought this wine back to Chang'an, which was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and left the legend of "Tang Meng drank the sauce and made Yelang".

According to the Qing Dynasty's "Old Zunyi Mansion Chronicles", during the Daoguang period, "there were no less than 20 Moutai burning houses, and the mountain grain cost was no less than 20,000 stones." In 1843, the Qing Dynasty poet Zheng Zhen praised Moutai as "the country of wine crown Qianren". Before 1949, the production of Moutai was withering, and there were only three distilleries, namely:

The "Chengyi Distillery" funded by the surname Hua is called "Hua Mao"; The "Ronghe Wine House" funded by the surname Wang is called "Wang Mao"; The "Hengxing Distillery" funded by the surname Lai is called "Lai Mao". "Lai Mao" is the predecessor of the current Moutai.

Moutai has the characteristics of clear and transparent color, mellow and fragrant, soft entrance, clear and sweet, and long-lasting aftertaste. In 1915, at the Panama International Exposition in San Francisco, USA, the Chinese exhibitors threw Moutai liquor bottles to shake the national prestige and won the gold medal in one fell swoop, and since then it has become one of the world's three famous liquors, and has become an outstanding representative of the Chinese nation's industry and commerce to the world.
