How did the history of Xiangshan liquor come about

The long history of literati in the whole state is another important factor in promoting the development of the local brewing industry and producing Xiangshan wine, a good wine. In the 26th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign (221 BC), Lingling County was established in present-day Quanzhou County. In the 6th year of the Han Dynasty's Yuanding reign, Lingling Commandery was established, with its capital located 39 kilometers southwest of the current county seat. It governed the area equivalent to the upper reaches of the Zishui River south of Shaoyang in Hunan, the Xiaoshui River basin between Hengyang and Dao County in Xiangjiang, and the area east of Shuifu in Guilin, Guangxi, north of Yangshuo. After the Three Kingdoms period, its jurisdiction gradually decreased, and it was abolished in the 9th year of the Sui Dynasty's Kaihuang reign (589 AD). During the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-55 AD), the administrative center of Lingling County was relocated to Quanling (now north of Yongzhou City, Hunan Province), and Lingling County was referred to as Xiaolingling for the county at that time. The purpose of tracing the history is to illustrate that for one hundred or twenty years, this area of Quanzhou was the political center equivalent to half a province today, and its demand for alcohol was naturally much greater than that of ordinary counties, which also led to a greater boost in the brewing industry. And as Lingling is recognized as a place name, it increases the possibility of expanding alcohol production. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the wise ruler of ancient China, Emperor Shun (also known as Yu Shun), passed away during his southern tour at Lingling. What is Lingling? Emperor Shun did indeed die here and his tomb cannot be found. Zero is nothing, cannot be found; Tombs are tombs. Since the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the entire region at the source of the Xiang River has been called Lingling, with the original intention of worshipping Emperor Shun. This was a significant event in ancient times, and naturally required a specific location. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Annals of Quanzhou", "Yudi Ridge is located 28 miles west of the city, and there is an old palace site near the official road, which was the site of Da Shun's patrol." "Later generations constructed buildings to recognize its traces," and "Yudi Temple is located 10 miles west of the city. In the old days, there were two imperial concubines' mansions built in the county town of Quanzhou. The "Annals of Quanzhou County" records that "the Second Concubine Temple was built one mile south of the city in the first year of the Han Dynasty's Pingyuan era." During the reconstruction in the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty's Yuanhe era, the literary figure Liu Zongyuan wrote the "Broken Stele of the Second Concubine in Xiangyuan," which is now recorded in the "Liuhe East Collection. Throughout thousands of years of history, there are still many ancestral buildings in the entire state, such as the Ancestral Temple dedicated to Confucius, the Temple dedicated to the famous officials who served in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the Temple of Virtuous Township, the Temple of Loyalty and Righteousness, the Temple of Filial Piety and Filial Piety, the Altar of State, the Temple of Guan Di, and so on. In addition, the people of the whole state are accustomed to clan settlements, with villages ranging from hundreds to hundreds of households. Most of the clans in the villages have their own temples, and a large village often has several ancestral halls. The numerous temple facilities are designed to facilitate worship activities. According to ancient rituals, besides the "three animals", sacrificial offerings must be "five types of wine", namely, five types of wine: pan qi, li qi, ang qi, ti qi, and shen qi ("Zhou Li, Tian Guan, Jiu Zheng"). The "Five Qi" are all "the wine with dross and no boiling". They are Sichuan wine, which was used for sacrifice in the Zhou Dynasty. Most of the Tang and Song dynasties used distilled Baijiu. According to the Archaeological Report on Guangxi Cultural Relics, among the funerary objects unearthed at the tomb of Zhao Sicang in Yongzhou of the Tang Dynasty near the Dabi Village, Fenghuang Township, Quanzhou County in 1958 (buried in 638 AD), there were many wine vessels, celadon pots, bowls and other objects. Later, from the cellar site of the Song Dynasty in Jiang'anling, Yongsui Township, which is a ten kilometer long area of overseas Chinese remittances, there were discarded wine jars, wine cups and There are countless pieces of wine. At that time, wine vessels could be used for both life and sacrifice. It can be inferred that from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the early Republic of China, people in the whole prefecture used a lot of wine for sacrifice, which will undoubtedly promote the development of the wine industry.
