Fenjiu . For a person who doesn’t know Shanxi, he only knows that Fenjiu is a kind of liquor, and may be quite famous! Maybe these are the reviews.
As a Shanxi person, I only know that Fenjiu has roughly a red lid, a yellow lid, an old white lid, and a blue and white fenjiu, and it is a fresh fragrance. If there are more, I really don’t know!
After two months of careful study, I was shocked. It turns out that I only know the basics! Below I will give you a rough description of what I have learned so that you can have a preliminary understanding of Fenjiu through this article.
The History of Fenjiu
In 1982, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage organized an archaeological team to excavate the ruins of Xinghua Village, Shanxi, and unearthed a small-mouthed pointed-bottom urn of rare treasures. According to research by Stanford University archaeologists and Chinese winemaking experts, the conclusion was concluded that the small tip-bottomed urn is a wine fermentation container. His unearth notice announced to the world that China began to brew grain wine as early as the middle of the Yangshao culture 6,000 years ago. It also proved that Xinghua Village in Shanxi is the earliest birthplace of human cereal winemaking and has a 6,000-year heritage.
1500 years ago Northern and Northern Dynasties , " Twenty-Four Histories " records that the letter from Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi to his nephew Kang Shu wrote in a letter "I drink two cups of Fenqing, and I advise you to drink two cups in Ye". This family letter shows that Fenqing wine had become the leading imperial wine in the palace 1,500 years ago.
1200 years ago Du MuWhen traveling to Bingzhou and Fenzhou during the Qingming Festival, he wrote the popular masterpiece "Qingming Festival". "I want to ask where the restaurant is, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance" is widely circulated, and Xinghua Village has also become the hometown of white wine in people's hearts.
1915, Fenjiu participated in the Panama Pacific 0,000-Country Expo held in San Francisco, USA. As the only branded liquor, he won the highest award---A-class medal.
In 1948, as the "the eldest son of the Republic's liquor industry", the state-owned Fenjiu Factory took on the important task of "placing famous wines that are well-known at home and abroad at the banquet of the new political consultation meeting." In 1949, Fenjiu became the state banquet wine for the first Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of New China.
