How did the history of ancient city wine come about

Ancient city wine has dominated the Western Regions for hundreds of years. The Lanzhou History Museum records that "ancient city wine originated in the Ming Dynasty, developed in the Qing Dynasty, and flourished today. In the early years of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1400 AD), when Chen Cheng was conducting a military expedition to Xinjiang, he wrote in his book "Records of the Western Regions" that the Qitai area was known for "eating rice and noodles, rare vegetables, and making small amounts of wine and lees. It can be seen that at that time, there were records of drinking or brewing alcohol in present-day Qitai County

Due to the excellent craftsmanship, abundant raw materials, wide sales, and high profits of three distilleries, including "Xinglinquan", they attracted a large number of Shanxi people to crowd the Beidou Palace. They formed friendships, gathered groups, and borrowed money, forming a climax of opening distilleries in a short period of time. The distilleries that opened successively included Deshengchang, Wanyulong, Yongxingquan, Yixing, Baoxingquan, and Daliquan. In this way, the winding Beidougong Lane has formed a concentration of industry and commerce with Shanxi people as the main body and wine making as the leader. In the peak seasons of spring and summer, there are a lot of vehicles. Under the festival, the lights are shining brightly. By the end of the Guangxu period, the ancient city had an annual output of 34000 kilograms of Shaojiu, more than 20 wineries, and an annual sales of more than 500 camel pieces of Shaojiu, about 110000 kilograms
