Now let's go to Guizhou culture to see what cultural connotation Moutai has!
Moutai is called "national wine" in China. In Panama International Expo 19 15, it was rated as the second famous wine in the world and won the gold medal. For more than half a century, it has been praised by the world for its exquisite brewing skills and unique color, fragrance and taste, and has become a "pearl in wine" in domestic and foreign markets.
Moutai in China is named after it was produced in Maotai Town, Renbei County, Guizhou Province (formerly a village), and enjoys the reputation of "a thousand people are drunk when the wind comes next door, and thyme blooms after the rain". This song "Mao Yi Xiang" is refreshing and intoxicating. Any cup filled with Maotai liquor still has fragrance for many days, which is called "empty cup fragrance" and "bottle fragrance". Because Moutai is not strong, soft and fragrant because of depression, poets in the Qing Dynasty really gave it the reputation of "the country with the best wine and the people in Guizhou".
According to legend, one year on New Year's Eve, heavy snow suddenly fell in Maotai Town, and the wind was biting. There lived a young man named Li in the town. He saw an old woman lying in rags dead at the door, so he carried her into the house to make a fire to keep warm, treated the old man with homemade rice wine, made her bed and rested, and lay on the ground by the fire. When I heard the wonderful piano music in the dim light, a fairy floated from the horizon, wearing colorful feather tulle and holding a sparkling glass in her hand. Before she stood up, she tilted the wine in her glass to the ground, and suddenly the air was filled with rich wine fragrance, and a flashing galaxy appeared in front of her eyes. When the young man woke up, the fire in the room was very strong, the water and rice were still warm, and the bedding on the bed was neat, as if no one had slept. He opened the door and saw that the snow had stopped. A crystal clear river was flowing out of the door, and there were bursts of wine on the river. Since then, the local people have used the river water given by the fairy to make wine, and the "Flying Fairy" pattern has been used as the trademark of Moutai ever since.
Legend belongs to legend, but Maotai, located on the Chishui River, is famous for its wine-making since ancient times, but it is true. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem praising Chishui River, which said, "Gather Lingquan in one body, gather beautiful water in the east". The fame of Moutai may be related to the excellent local water quality. According to relevant literature, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, the wine in Gu Renhuai was praised as "sweet" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, high-quality Daqu liquor was produced around Maotai Town, and Zhang Nengchen's Wine List was recorded in the history of wine because of its excellent quality. In the forty-three years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, after repeated experiments and numerous improvements and perfection, a unique brewing process was finally explored and a unique Maotai liquor was produced. "qian yu" said: "Generally, it sells well, and it is all cooked in spring", so it is called "Maotai Spring". After continuous brewing and improvement, Moutai has become a world-renowned China famous wine.
Maotai liquor is maotai-flavor Daqu liquor. According to expert analysis, its wine contains more than 70 kinds of ingredients, which constitutes the extraordinary flavor of Maotai, mellow and sweet, and the bottom of the kiln is fragrant. Although the alcohol content is 53 degrees to 55 degrees. However, the liquid crystal of the wine is bright and transparent, the taste is mellow and soft, there is no strong stimulation, the entrance is rich in maotai flavor, the aftertaste is long, and the aftertaste is long, which is the qu type of maotai-flavor liquor. Thus for that unique style of Moutai.
