Elvis Presley
If we want to talk about the historical origins of the three schools and Maotai, we should start with Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley first created the glorious history of Maotai. Elvis Presley became a witness to many historical events and created many legendary stories in the political, economic, military, diplomatic and cultural events of the Republic of China, which cast a mysterious veil on Maotai.
1829, in the ninth year of Qing Daoguang, Guizhou salt merchants built the "TianheNo. Burning House" for banquets.
Guizhou does not produce salt, mainly relying on well salt in Zigong, Sichuan. Since Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Guizhou in the 10th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, asked the court to start dredging Chishui River, Maotai has become one of the four ports where Sichuan salt enters Guizhou, and the rise of salt transportation has made the business of Maotai at the crossroads of Sichuan and Guizhou increasingly prosperous. Wang Zhenfa established "Tianhe" to manage the salt industry in Maotai, and quickly became a billionaire. After Wang Zhenfa became rich, he often entertained salt merchants. In the ninth year of Qing Daoguang (A.D. 1829), a wine room was built on Tianhe, which was named "Tianhe". Burning room ",and invited a master brewer to make his own music. The quality of the brewed wine is excellent, and the guests are full of praise after drinking it. After middle age, Wang Zhenfa appointed his fourth son, Wang Guobin, to be in charge of Tianhe sentry post. At that time, the old people in Maotai Town also called Wang Guobin the "four shopkeepers". After Wang Guobin took charge of Tianhe Shaofang, he increased the cellar and expanded production, and commercialized the original wine for his own use. Tianhe Jiu Shao quickly spread in the surrounding areas. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhenfa made a tribute to the gold crystal and brewed a fine wine. After Daoguang drank it, he was very happy. He named Wang Zhenfa an "official doctor" with five official titles. Since then, "Elvis Presley" has become "the royal wine of the Qing Dynasty", which has created a glorious history of Moutai and is known as "the best in the world".

1879 changed its name to "Rong Tai Burning House", and later it was "Ronghe Burning House".
In his later years, after family discussion, Wang Guobin appointed educated Wang Lifu to take over Tianhe Burning House, handed over Tianhe Salt House in charge of Wang Yongbin to Wang Lifu, and appointed Wang Lian, who has brewing and blending technology, to be responsible for the production and blending of Tianhe Burning House (this is because the technology is confidential). In the fifth year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1879), Wang Lifu and Wang Lian were forced to take Shi Rongxiao, the central landlord of Huairen, and Sun Quantai, a businessman of Xishui, as minority shareholders, and each contributed to 200 yuan, so they chose the word "harmony" between Wang Tianhe, Shi Rongxiao used the word "glory" and Sun Quantai also used the word "harmony". It was agreed that Wang Lifu was in charge, Shi Rongxiao was in charge of accounting, and Wang Lian was in charge of production deployment. Soon Sun Quantai asked for an audit on the grounds that the accounts were unclear, but Shi Rongxiao refused. Sun Quantai had no choice but to withdraw his shares. After Sun Quantai withdrew his shares, Wang Lifu, Wang Lian and Shi Rongxiao removed the word "Tai" from the signboard of "Rong Tai He" Burning House and named it "Ronghe Burning House". "Ronghe Burning House" (Elvis Presley Wine) has been called "local wine" (local Xiaoliangliang Wine) since its opening.
Hua Mao
1862, hualian hui and his son founded Cheng Yi shaofang in maotai town, and produced white wine called huishamao liquor and huajiaji liquor, namely Hua Mao, which was 33 years later than ronghe (Elvis Presley).
Laimao
Lai Mao's boss is Lai Yongchu, a native of Guiyang, a local bank capitalist in Guiyang. Before 194 1, the owner of Zhou Bingheng Distillery, a local small workshop winery in Maotai, contracted the bad habit of smoking opium, which led to difficulties in the operation of Zhou Bingheng Distillery. 194 1 year, Lai Yongchu acquired Zhou Bingheng Winery.
Laimao
Among them, Ronghe (Elvis Presley) has the longest reputation. Because the traditional technology can only be brewed once a year, it needs to be aged for five years, and it is also affected by the shortage of raw materials. The output is limited and the price is relatively high. At that time, Cheng Yi wine (Hua Mao) sold half a silver dollar per bottle, while Ronghe wine (Elvis Presley) was the most expensive, selling 2 silver dollars per bottle.
History is naughty. 19 15 Is Ba Jin Elvis Presley? Hua Mao? 19 15 The Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Republic of China sent the wines of "Cheng Yi" and "Ronghe" to the World Expo as local specialties, and unexpectedly won a gold medal. The two families fought a lawsuit for honor, which lasted for three years. History is sometimes naughty, and history should always keep her ambiguous and ambiguous. Now, he left the world an interesting question: Is it Elvis Presley or Hua Mao, the product of Ronghe or the product of Cheng Yi who won the gold medal? The complexity of the problem lies in that it is said that there are both "Elvis Presley" and "Hua Mao" among the products on display. Officials in Renhuai County, considering that the two wines have the same origin and the same packaging, although they are marked with the words "Cheng Yi Shaofu products" and "Ronghe Shaofu products", after all, the word "Shaofu" does not conform to "international practice". Simply, officials make their own decisions and put these two kinds of wine. This is also the origin of the name "Maotai".
Who will win the gold medal still has to contend, "Ronghe" and "Cheng Yi" do not give way to each other, the mediation of Renhuai County Chamber of Commerce is invalid, and the lawsuit hits the county government. Qin Guangluan, the governor of Renhuai, could not judge, so a piece of paper was sent to Guizhou provincial capital. Winning an award is a happy event, and a happy event should be beautiful. 19 18 In June, Governor Liu made a ruling on this lawsuit which had been delayed for three years. The order of the governor's office is as follows: Qin Guangluan, the magistrate of Renhuai County, is requested to submit a copy. Maotai, as the Panama Games, was selected and awarded by He Chengyu. It is difficult to allocate it. Please check the reason. Confirm. The products produced in this case were originally under the name of a brewing company when they were collected and handed over to the county on the same day, so we have copies of the award certificate and medals. As a matter of fact, there were no two households at that time, so there was no way to win this prize. The governor should send the documents to the office of the county chamber of commerce for display, not to the hands of the brewers, so as to avoid disputes and keep them as a souvenir. Zhi Rong and Cheng Yu Dou are winners. Later, both of them can add prizes when selling imitation trademarks to increase their honor, and there is no need to focus solely on collection. Follow me back. This order. Governor Liu of the Republic of China June 2007 14
At that time, Governor Liu named Ronghe Burning House as Wang, and the owner of the burning house was named "Huamao". The names Elvis Presley and Huamao came from this. During the Republic of China, "Maotai" was the collective name of Elvis Presley and Hua Mao.
Moutai
195 1 After the founding of New China, Renhuai County People's Government successively purchased or confiscated three burnt houses in Cheng Yi, Ronghe and Hengxing, and established Renhuai Maotai Distillery, a monopoly company in Guizhou Province. Since then, Maotai Distillery has entered a new period of development.
