During the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 196), Cao Cao dedicated the Jiu Ying Chun Wine (i.e. Gu Jing Tribute Liquor) and the brewing method from his hometown to Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie. Since then, Jiu Ying Chun Liquor (Gu Jing Tribute Liquor) has become Tributes from past dynasties.
The trademark registration of Gujing Gongjiu was quite troublesome: On February 26, 1960, when Gujing Distillery applied for registration of the Gujing brand Gujing Gongjiu trademark by grade, on March 18, the China Administration for Industry and Commerce However, he wrote a reply: The Gujing brand trademark applied for registration by Gujing Distillery can be used, but it is best to change the name of Gujing Tribute Liquor to Gujing Liquor, which means that the word "Gong" cannot be used. After hard arguments, the Central Administration for Industry and Commerce approved the use of the registered trademark and product introduction of Gujing brand Gujing Gongjiu. Gujing Gong Liquor was rated as a famous wine in Anhui Province in May 1960. In November 1963, it was rated second among the eight famous wines in China at the second national wine appraisal meeting. Since then, Gujing Gongjiu has entered the ranks of famous Chinese wines, and its name has become more and more famous.
During the ten years of catastrophe, the cultural world and traditional Chinese culture suffered the most serious damage. Gujing Gongjiu, which has the strongest color of traditional Chinese culture, will not escape the disaster. In 1967, the word "tribute" of Gujing Gongjiu was put on the label of "Four Olds" and was brutally killed in the war. Hundreds of thousands of sets of Gujing Gongjiu trademarks were burned in one fell swoop. The simple new trademark Gujing Liquor entered the hands of revolutionaries as a revolutionary. However, the power of culture cannot fade away. In response to strong demands from consumers, Gujing Distillery submitted a request to the Anhui Provincial Light Industry Bureau in 1973 to resume the use of the Gujing Gong Liquor trademark. On September 1, 1973, the Light Industry Bureau of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Committee issued a document agreeing to restore the name of Gujing tribute wine.
Since then, Gujing Gongjiu, a brand that has gone through political, economic and cultural vicissitudes, has been fixed and loved by people.
