Basic introduction of Nalang liquor

Nalang liquor is a product of Guangnan Nalang Liquor Industry Co., Ltd. in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, named after Nalang Village. The traditional production of Nalang liquor has a history of nearly a hundred years and has been sold to countries such as Vietnam and Laos, making it quite famous

It has the characteristics of crystal clear, rich aroma, soft and smooth taste, and sweet aftertaste

Nalang has auspicious, sacred, and beautiful meanings in the Zhuang language. In Nalang Township, there is a clear spring with good water quality. It is said that drinking this spring water makes the body strong, moisturizes the skin, and washes hair with it, leaving a head full of green hair. There is also a precious type of rice produced here - "Babao Rice", which is a tribute rice presented to the court. Nalang Wine is a local specialty wine produced from Babao and rice as raw materials, Nalang Spring water as brewing water, and pure Rhizopus koji as saccharification and fermentation agent. The poem "Lang accidentally enters and must be drunk, unable to measure the wine, do not meet" is a praise poem by Chen Longzhang, a Qing Dynasty scholar, for Nalang wine. It is said that when Emperor Daoguang's teacher, Song Xiang (a Jinshi from Jiazhou, Guangdong, who served as the governor of Guangnan from 1919 to 1820), was appointed as the governor of Guangnan, Emperor Daoguang remembered his teacher and prepared famous dishes that the teacher loved to eat, as well as famous wines from the capital, to give to Song Xiang. After learning about this, Song Xiang wrote to Emperor Daoguang, saying, "I have taken over the famous dishes. There is a famous liquor called Nalang in Guangnan, which can be exempted from being given away." This shows the prosperity and fame of Nalang liquor at that time
