The earliest winery name that can be found in Maotai Town is Yamato Shaofang. This information was obtained from the name of Yamato Winery in the list of donors cast on a furnace built in the eighth year of the Qing Dynasty (1803) in Yangliuwan, Maotai.

According to recent research, it was found that there was a winery called Gaisheng Shuhao that was earlier than Yamato Shafang. This was found on the road monument of the 300-step debut of the original Ronghe Shaofang in Maotai Town in 1990. The road monument dated to the 49th year of Qianlong's reign is engraved with the words "Gaisheng Jiuhao". Since the First Opium War (June 1840-August 1842), an epoch-making event in Chinese history, a storm known as the "Xiantong Peasant Uprising" swept across Guizhou Province, which once disrupted the brewing industry in the Renhuai area. Came to a standstill. After the Xiantong War, Moutai brewing workshops were restored on the ruins and sprung up. The breweries at that time were commonly known as "Shaofang". Among the many Shaofangs, "Chengyi", "Ronghe" and "Hengxing" were the three largest ones. "Ronghe" was established in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879). It was jointly owned by Shi Rongxiao and Sun Quantai, the big landowners in Renhuai County, and Wang Lifu, the owner of the "Wang Tianhe" salt brand. Each named it "Rongtaihe Shao" after a character in his own name. "Fang" (later renamed "Ronghe Shaofang"), the Shaofang is located not far from the original site of Maotai Jisheng Liquor House (1458). At this point, there are two large-scale Shaofang in Maotai Town: "Chengyi Shaofang" and "Rongtaihe Shaofang", forming a situation where the two parties compete with each other and promote each other. During this period, the unique craftsmanship of Maotai liquor It’s also roughly in shape.

In early 1914, the U.S. Congress decided to hold an International Exposition to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. To this end, special envoys were sent to China to "persuade Chinese officials and businessmen to attend the competition." Yuan Shikai, the interim president of the Republic of China government, ordered the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to prepare for this matter. Moutai liquor was included in the list of products collected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce due to its record of winning awards at the "Nanyang Entrepreneurship Association" this year. Therefore, the samples of "Ronghe" and "Chengyi" workshops in Maotai Town were selected. Liquor, in the name of "Moutai Liquor Making Company", is collectively referred to as Moutai Liquor. On February 20, 1915, the Panama International Exposition opened in San Francisco. This was the largest international expo in the world at the beginning of the 20th century, with more than 200,000 exhibitors, and Moutai won the gold medal at the expo. After winning the award, "Chengyi" and "Ronghe" fought over the ownership of the medal. The lawsuit went from the Renhuai County Chamber of Commerce to the Guizhou Provincial Office. In 1918, the provincial government finally issued a ruling in a compromise way: the certificate of the gold medal , the medals are kept by the Renhuai County Chamber of Commerce, and both "Chengyi" and "Ronghe" workshops can use the "Panama International Expo Gold Medal" on their product trademarks.

Thousands of glasses of fine wine, it is rare to find a close friend, and the aroma of "Ronghe Shaofang" is intoxicating. In 1935, the Red Army crossed Chishui four times on its long march and passed through Maotai Town on the third crossing. The Wang family used Ronghe Shaofang wine to comfort the Red Army. Zhou Enlai and other senior generals drank Ronghe Shaofang wine and praised it. The Red Army soldiers used "Ronghe Shaofang" to heal their injuries. At that time, the price of Ronghe Shaofang wine was two silver yuan bottles, the price of "Chengyi" was one silver yuan and two hanging bottles, and the price of "Hengchang" was one silver yuan bottle. "Ronghe Shaofang" After several twists and turns, the management rights of Ronghe Shaofang fell into the hands of Wang Bingqian in 1949. The founding of New China has brought vigorous vitality to the development of Moutai. In 1952, Wang Bingqian was shot for hiding firearms. Ronghe Shaofang (Wangmao) was confiscated by the government and was compensated 500 yuan; Chengyi Shaofang (Huamao) was purchased as a whole at a discount of 15,000 yuan; Hengxing Shaofang (Laimao) ) was acquired as a whole at a discount of 25,000 yuan; it was later merged to form the local state-owned Moutai Distillery in Guizhou Province. Since Ronghe Shaofang was confiscated rather than acquired, this is why Ronghe Shaofang now owns the "Ronghe" trademark.

After the reform and opening up, the descendants of "Ronghe Shaofang" returned to their old business. In order to promote the national brand, they reactivated the Ronghe trademark, invited back the old winemaker, and unlocked the secret treasure of more than a hundred years of old wine. , high-quality base wine and century-old cellared wine made with traditional brewing techniques. Guimao Distillery was established in 1987 and changed to Fuqiang Distillery in 1999. In 2011, it was re-registered and established as Kweichow Moutai Town Ronghe Liquor Co., Ltd. It is located in the "China's No. 1 Liquor" Maotai Town, Renhuai City, Guizhou Province, the hometown of national liquor. Next to the "town" archway and by the Chishui River (also known as the Wine River), the factory covers an area of ??more than 30,000 square meters; 128 cellars; 2 packaging workshops; an annual output of 3,000 tons; 300 employees and 60 technical personnel of various types.

There are currently more than 2,000 tons of base wine in stock, including more than 1,300 tons of base wine that is more than 3 years old and more than 600 tons of base wine that is 1-3 years old.

Today's Ronghe people have finally been recognized and rewarded by the society after many arduous efforts. Now the "Ronghe" brand series of products have "the fragrance of wine spreads thousands of miles and is praised all over the world."
