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 "Gujing Gongjiu" 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.

The simple new trademark "Gujing Liquor" was named "Revolution". The identity passes into the hands of "revolutionaries". 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.
