Rong Tai Heshaofang was founded in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879). The burning house was built by Wang Rong (Shi Rongxiao), Sun Quantai and the owner of Tianhe Salt Company in Renhuai County. Because the three parties each took a word, it was named "Rong Tai and" Burning House. At first, Sun Quantai, the shopkeeper, and the three companies respectively extracted profits by shares. 19 15 years, Renhuai County was divided into Xishui County and Renhuai County. Sun Quantai's family is far from Maotai. He is busy studying in his hometown of Changsha and resigned from the shopkeeper. Wang Rong (Shi Rongxiao) is in charge of the combustion workshop. After that, Sun Quantai in order to recover the investment. In order to further expand his influence in Xishui, Wang Rong (Shi Rongxiao) filed a lawsuit on the grounds that he could not explain clearly. After Renhuai County came to power, Wang Rong (Shi Rongxiao) returned 220 taels of silver as shares and dividends to Sun Quantai, so "Rong Tai Burning House" was renamed "Ronghe Burning House". Shi Rongxiao's original surname was Wang, and later he was Shi's adopted son. In the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), Shi Naian still lived in Wangxing, formerly known as Wang Rong. By the time the grandson of Wang arrived, the kiln was basically monopolized by the Wang family. Around 1930, Sun Mingyuan, a descendant of Sun Quantai, worked in the army of warlord Hou Zidan. He used the equity issue to create disputes and demanded to settle the accounts over the years. At that time, Wang died and his younger brother Wang Zesheng took over. Wang Zesheng knew that Ming-yuan sun was difficult to deal with, so he had to send a thousand bottles of Mao wine, which had nothing to do with Ronghe burning the house. 1936, the owner of another stock Tianhe No.1 transferred all the shares to Wang Zesheng. At this point, the Burning House has all fallen into the hands of Wang Rong and his descendants, and it was officially renamed as "Elvis Burning House". 1949, Wang Zesheng died, and his son Wang Binggan continued to run the Elvis Presley Burning House ... 19 15, the United States held the Panama World Expo in San Francisco to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal and informed all countries in the world to send exhibits. At that time, the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce set up a commodity exhibition office in Tianjin, headed by Le Jia, a native of Guizhou, to collect famous and special products from all over the country and send them to San Francisco. When collecting products, both "Cheng Yi" and "Ronghe" Burning House sent the products to the exhibition, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce did not treat them differently. They are all issued in the name of "Moutai Brewing Company", collectively referred to as "Moutai". The bottles filled with wine are round yellow ceramic glazes with small mouths, which are not noticeable. However, after tasting by wine experts from all over the world, Moutai won unanimous praise for its unique advantages, was rated as a world famous wine, won certificates and medals, and has since enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad. After winning the prize, Cheng Yi and Ronghe argued over the ownership of the international gold medal, making it difficult for the county chamber of commerce to make a decision. The submission was submitted to the province in the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), and was mediated by the Guizhou Provincial Department. Certificates and medals are kept by Renhuai County Chamber of Commerce, and Moutai produced by two burning houses can be marked with "Panama World Expo Award" on the trademark.
Among them, the Moutai produced by Ronghe Shaofang (formerly Rong Tai Heshaofang) was called "Elvis Presley" in history.
In the early 1950s, government-run public-private partnership, Wang Xing, Hua Xing and lai xing were merged into Maotai Distillery. People used to call these three houses on fire Elvis Presley, Hua Mao and Lai Mao. This "Sanmao" is not only the main producing area of Moutai, but also has created countless brilliant three families in the fields of salt transportation, wine making and book publishing. From Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China 1949, it had great influence in Guizhou and even in the southwest.
Among them, "Elvis Presley" first created the glory of Moutai. Known as "the best in the world." The production base of Guizhou Elvis Presley Wine Group is located on the beautiful and magical Chishui River in Maotai Town, Guizhou Province, and has an indissoluble bond with the Revolution of 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the Chinese Red Army. The sentence "Xinhai was thunderous and exciting, and Sun Yat-sen became attached to it, making Elvis fragrant all over the country" in Elvis Presley Fu wrote an immortal legend for Wang Maojiu's history books, and this feeling of intersecting with great men has always been the pride of Elvis Presley people. 1935 after the Zunyi meeting, the Red Army of Workers and Peasants crossed Chishui four times, and the "Elvis Burning House" presented Elvis Presley wines to the proletarian revolutionaries and Red Army soldiers of the older generation, such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and Deng Xiaoping, and the drinkers were full of praise. Premier Zhou Enlai once said that the victory of the Red Army's Long March was also a great contribution of Moutai. Tired of the Long March, at first, the soldiers washed their faces, hair and feet with Maotai. Because Moutai can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, diminish inflammation and reduce swelling, the soldiers suddenly feel comfortable and relieve the fatigue of long journey. While the soldiers were in high spirits, Zhou Enlai came to Maotai. He was very angry when he saw that everyone wiped their faces and washed their feet with Moutai, and repeatedly criticized: "What a waste of saints!" Why did Zhou Enlai say "saint"? According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao presided over state affairs. One day, Xu Miao, assistant minister of Shangshu, was drunk at home. It happened that Cao Cao sent someone to call him to the court to discuss. He couldn't get away from it, so he relied on the strength of his wine and said, "Report back to the Prime Minister, I am negotiating with the sage, and I can't work hard." As soon as people heard the word "saint", they came to me in a daze. Cao Cao was also confused and didn't ask. Afterwards, Xu Miao talked with friends about this matter and said, "I don't want the word' saint' to save my life." Since then, "sage" has become another name for wine. Obviously, Comrade Zhou Enlai criticized the Red Army soldiers with the alias of wine. He said earnestly: "Comrades, this is the' Moutai' that our country won the gold medal at the Panama World Expo in 19 15!" Then, I told you the story of "Maotai" winning the gold medal, and all the Red Army soldiers present were deeply educated. On March 1935 and March 16, the Red Army crossed Chishui (the capital of Chishui) in the west of Maotai and its vicinity, and headed for Gu Lin and Xuyong. When the machine gun company of the guard battalion of the column of the Military Commission continued to advance on the Panshan Highway near Maotai, three enemy planes circled overhead, one was shot down on the spot and the other two escaped. In the evening, Wang Jiaxiang (director of the General Political Department of the Red Army during the Long March) entrusted four comrades from the Organization Department and Propaganda Department of the General Political Department to the camp of the machine gun company to offer condolences, and distributed Elvis Presley wine sent by Wang Zesheng, the owner of Elvis Presley Burning House, to the soldiers, and kept the rest for cleaning wounds and treating diarrhea. /kloc-on the morning of 0/7, Wang Jiaxiang met the queue of the machine gun company on the March, stopped on the spot, congratulated the commanders and fighters of the whole company, encouraged them to make contributions again, and then drank "Moutai". In order to protect the well-known Moutai workshops from losses, the Political Department of the Military Commission posted notices at the gates of Hua Mao, Elvis Presley and Laimao distilleries, which produce the most Moutai in Maotai Town: encouraging the development of national industry and commerce belongs to the protection scope of our army. Maotai old wine brewed by private enterprises is of excellent quality, winning the gold medal in Panama International Competition in one fell swoop, winning glory for the Chinese people. Our army can only buy and sell in wineries, and the equipment such as wine stoves, wine cellars, jars, wine retort and wine bottles should be well protected and not damaged. I hope all our soldiers will abide by it seriously. From this notice, we can see that the Red Army attaches great importance to national industries and well-known products. 1949 On the eve of founding ceremony, Premier Zhou Enlai held a meeting in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai, and decided to use Maotai for the state banquet in founding ceremony, and made it the state guest in Jinghua Hotel. Since then, Maotai has been designated as the annual National Day reception, which is the beginning of "Maotai" being called "national wine". In the Geneva peace talks, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States and other historic events, Moutai has become a special medium to melt the historical ice. Party and state leaders have given Moutai as a national gift to foreign leaders countless times.
