Jinling Distillery is the only comprehensive liquor producer in Nanjing and the only liquor factory in Nanjing in 1950s. During 1958, Jinling Beer produced beer in Jiangsu for the first time. Jinling Beer is still produced in Anheuser-Busch InBev's factory in Nanjing, but the "Jinling" trademark belongs to a British brewery.
? The information I found about the establishment of Jinling Winery is described as follows: "Formerly Jifeng Winery, it was founded in 192 1, and four wineries (workshops) were merged from 195 1 to 53 to form Jinling Winery."
From a photo taken by the famous Nanjing Universal Studio, it can be known that June 1 is the factory building day. 1 951June1day, the local state-owned Jinling brewery was established. In 1960s (probably WG period), Jinling Winery was renamed Nanjing Winery. Regarding 1985, Nanjing Brewery was renamed as Nanjing Brewery General Factory. 1At the end of 992, beer production was separated from the factory. At the beginning of this century, the factory was dissolved.
? I saw four kinds of special stationery in this factory in different years in several abandoned technical files.
? On the letterhead marked1June 28th, 962 "Summary of Malt Production Test", the address of Jinling Winery is "No.3 Jiulong Bridge outside Tongji Gate". It is worth mentioning that the paper of this stationery is very rough, much like the common horse manure paper in the past. This is obviously the product of a special period of three years. However, on the following paper use date (1 April 9631), the paper used for special stationery was normal, indicating that the economy has tended to improve.
On the stationery used in February 1983 market research and forecast, the address that has been changed to the name of Nanjing Winery is "No.7 Tongjimenwai Street". This is because, in the late 1970s, the factory built a workshop here.
1987, a five-story office building was built at No.20, Xiaqili Street, Kowloon Bridge. This photo reflecting the face of Kowloon Bridge was taken in the office on the fourth floor here. At the end of 1992, beer production was spun off from the General Factory and a joint venture company was established, and the factory department of the General Factory moved back to No.7, Menwai Street, Tongji.
? What puzzles me is that before liberation, "No.3 Jiulong Bridge outside Tongji Gate" was Huafengyu Winery. In the "New Survey of Nanjing City Details" published by 1933, Huafengyu Winery was clearly marked under Jiulong Bridge. So, where is the address of Jifeng Winery?
? Putting forward this question will inevitably lead to Jifeng Winery and Huafengyu Winery.
? According to the China Journal of Modern Industry published by the Commercial Press 1938, Jifeng Distillery was established in the Republic of China 10 (192 1), with a registered capital of 50,000 yuan to produce shochu. Huafengyu Distillery was established in the third year of the Republic of China (19 14) with a registered capital of 25,000 yuan to produce Fenjiu.
? I carefully consulted the New Survey of Nanjing City Details and found no Jifeng Winery. It stands to reason that Nanjing City (Ming City Wall) at that time was unlikely to build a large-scale liquor factory. There is a place name of a wine shop in the south of Nanjing, but even during the Republic of China, there was liquor production, which was also a small wine shop. Huafengyu Winery was located outside the city. Close to Qinhuai River, the transportation of raw materials is very convenient, and it will not be too disturbing to the people.
As the predecessor of Jinling Winery is Jifeng Winery, which was built in 192 1, it is obvious that Jifeng Winery is not far from No.3 Jiulong Bridge outside Tongji Gate.
? So, my thoughts turned to the third floor outside Tongji Gate. This building, which appeared in many old photos during the Republic of China, has always been the alcohol production workshop during the period of Jinling Winery. In the "New Survey of Nanjing City Details", this area does not indicate which enterprise it is, but it is a factory and exists.
? It is mentioned in "History of Modern Industry in China" that Jifeng Winery produces soju and Huafengyu Winery produces Fenjiu. Soju is a kind of distilled wine with high alcohol content, which can be burned when ignited. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica: "Jiu Shao is not an ancient law. Since the Yuan Dynasty, this method has been invented ... Recently, it was only steamed with glutinous rice or japonica rice or millet or barley and put in a fermentation tank for seven days. As clear as water, it tastes extremely strong and is full of wine. "
? The production process of shochu is similar to alcohol production.
? Fenjiu is also distilled liquor, but the process is much more complicated.
? In the absence of historical data, I boldly speculate that:
? 1 951June1day, Jinling Winery was established on the basis of Jifeng Winery. 1953 merged with huafengyu winery and three other wineries (workshops). The address of Jifeng Winery is probably at No.7, Tongjimenwai Street. Perhaps the three-story old building used for alcohol production in Jinling Winery is the workshop specially produced by Jifeng Winery, and it was not until Jinling Winery that it was converted into alcohol production.
? The name of Huafengyu Winery appeared in the new survey of Nanjing City Details published by 1933, probably because of the contribution of this winery and the purpose of advertising.
? It is a great pity that the photos I saw of PLA soldiers standing guard at the gate of the winery and about seven or eight cadres standing at the gate of the factory have disappeared. I can't remember the name of the label above the factory gate. What is certain is that one of the people who took photos was Yu Qi, who later served as the leader of Jinling Winery.
Photographic Commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of Nanjing Local State-owned Jinling Winery was taken in Yufeng Winery, Yuan Hua, where the employees are located. Behind the group photo of employees, you can clearly see the three-story building across the river. However, I found something confusing from the top of this building ...?
