Historical Origin "Laobaigan" is a famous historical wine in China. When people talk about "Laobaigan", they will always say "Hengshui"; when talking about Hengshui, they will definitely say "Laobaigan", because Hengshui's Laobaigan has been famous all over the world for a long time, and no one in the world doesn't know it. Hengshui belonged to Jizhou in ancient times. The Fuyang, Hutuo and Hengzhang rivers in the territory are like jade belts, with sparkling golden waves. It is the so-called natural treasures and outstanding people. According to the literature review, the so-called "Jizhou Hengshui wine" is not wine produced in Jizhou, but Hengshui wine is famous for it. Hengshui wine industry can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, became famous in the Tang Dynasty, was named in the Ming Dynasty, and has become more prosperous in the world since the Qing Dynasty. There are many descriptions in "Zhengding Prefecture Chronicles", "Jizhou Chronicles", "Gangjian Compilation", "Baoyan Hall Secrets" and the literary masterpiece "Jinghuayuan". During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the wine industry in Hengshui was already quite large. According to historical records, in the spring and February of the 16th year of Yongyuan, Emperor He issued an edict to ban the selling of wine in Jizhou due to more rain than in previous years, which damaged the crops; during the reign of Emperor Jing, the order was issued to prohibit the selling of wine in Jizhou for four years due to drought. During the reign of Emperor Shun, Su Zhang, the governor of Jizhou, hosted a banquet for the prefect of Qinghe with Hengshui. After drinking, he praised him and said: "Everyone has one day, and I have two." Wang Zhihuan, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once served as the Lord of Hengshui. He was fascinated by Hengshui wine and praised: "The fragrance spreads ten miles away, and thousands of families are drunk." Yuanyong is the most famous, and its wine is famous for being "clean" and "dry", so it is named "Laobaigan". Many shops in various places imitated it and it is still followed today. In the Qing Dynasty, Hengshui Laobaigan was one of the fifty-five famous wines in the country. In the second year of Xuantong, he won the Grand Prize of the Nanyang Entrepreneur Association; in the third year of Xuantong, there were more than 30 wineries in the city. In 1915, Mr. Li Zeqing of Dejufang took Hengshui wine to the Panama International Exposition and won a first-class gold medal, ranking first among all award-winning wines in China.
According to historical records, "Zhili (official office) sorghum wine" is also recorded. The "Hengshui Local Chronicles" published in the 28th edition of the Republic of China records: "The people of Hengshui earn their living from all over the world, with the majority being carpenters, followed by potters. The making of koji and wine is particularly special, and medals will be awarded at the Panama Games." This is why. In 1929, the wine of Hengcheng Fuxing Longfang won the second prize at the Hebei Provincial Domestic Products Exhibition Hall. After the Lugouqiao Incident, the Japanese army invaded China wantonly, burning, killing, looting, confiscating grain and taking wealth. The people were in dire straits and all industries were in ruins. By the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only 16 wineries left in the city, barely making ends meet. On this basis, the People's Communist Party established the local state-owned Hengshui Winery and resumed the development of Laobaigan wine production. Laobaigan Distillery has become a large-scale liquor group with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons of liquor. Over the past decades, Laobaigan Liquor has won many awards, including gold medals in domestic and overseas wine competitions. Mr. Du Ziduan said: "The wine fairy can drink Hengshui wine, and the poet sage will no longer be drunk in other places." What you say is so sincere and beautiful. Folklore: Regarding the long history and high quality of Hengshui Laobaigan Wine, in addition to the records in ancient books, there are many beautiful legends among the people. One of the more representative ones is the legend of Sakai. Legend One: It is said that more than a thousand years ago, there was a small village with peach blossoms in full bloom on the Fuyang River. There was a hotel at the entrance of the village - Peach Blossom Village Hotel, with a high wine flag and the inscription "Laobaigan Wine". The shopkeeper is a widow in her 40s, known as Xue Ersao. She runs a front shop and a back shop, and her business is booming. One day, a white-haired old mason came to the shop and asked for a drink. Day after day, he drank as usual without paying a penny. Sister-in-law Xue took the opportunity to ask the old mason why. The old mason said: "Isn't the wine you have here called Laobaigan? Why do you still need money?" Sister-in-law Xue said, "Yes, the wine we have here is called Laobaigan. This kind of wine is mine." Brewed in an old workshop left by our ancestors for generations, this wine is white and pure, with a high alcohol content and leaves no water after being lit, so people here call it 'Laobaigan'. This wine is made by ourselves. The old master just drank. If he had money, he would drink for free. As long as he could make "Lao Baigan" famous, it was enough! So Xue Er's sister-in-law still toasted and served the old stone mason and entertained her diligently. The old stone mason stayed alone in her backyard. He started to dig a well. After the completion, the old stonemason turned into a wisp of smoke beside the well. Everyone was amazed and saw the clear water in the well gurgling and sparkling. So they turned on the pulley and drew up the well water. It turned out to be Qingming sweet spring water. Using this well water to make wine will make the wine more mellow and delicious, with a unique flavor. Therefore, wine-making craftsmen from all over the place have built workshops nearby and used this well water to make wine. Hundreds of years later, this place has become increasingly prosperous. The small village became Hengshui City, and the unique flavor of Hengshui Laobaigan wine brewed with water from this well became even more famous. Of course, this is a legend. The second legend is that Hengshui was called Taoxian in the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty. He once served as the governor of Taoxian County. It is said that Wang Zhihuan loved Laobaigan wine very much and often drank it to cheer up when he was reciting poems and poems. According to legend, Wang Zhihuan also invited Lu Ban's apprentices to drink Laobaigan wine. The arch bridge was built by Lu Ban's apprentice who showed his unique skills after drinking Laobaigan wine. He also moved a bluestone unicorn from nowhere. It is still squatting at the head of the old stone bridge and is well-known and appreciated by Hengshui people. Wang Zhihuan's political achievements and Lu Ban's disciples' superb craftsmanship, I think it is better to invite such an official to drink wine! Legend 3: Wang Mian praised wine: It is said that Wang Mian, a painter of the Yuan Dynasty, came to Hengshui one day. It was the middle of winter and the weather was cold and freezing. He was shivering. Suddenly he saw a hut and decided to go in to avoid the cold. Seeing how cold he was, an old man in the house took out a pot of liquor and asked him to drink it to keep away the cold. Wang Mian did not refuse and drank one cup at a time. He couldn't help but said: "One cup is fragrant, two cups are sweet, and three cups are sweet and greedy. I will drink ten cups in a row." and asked the old man what kind of wine this was. The old man smiled and replied: "This is Hengshui Laobaigan wine. It is everywhere in this place." They are all producing wine! "Wang Mian left the hut with gratitude, and even after walking a long way, he was still talking to himself: "There are boiling pots everywhere in Hengshui, and the nectar and jade liquid flow day and night. If you don't drink when you come here, your journey in the world will be in vain! "The crushing of raw materials for the production process. Hengshui Laobaigan wine is produced using high-quality red grains from Northeast China as the main raw material. It requires full particles, no mildew, impurities less than 3%, and a moisture content of less than 14%. It needs to be shelled before crushing. The raw materials are dehulled. After the shell is crushed, a double-roller powder machine is required. The whole grain is required to be less than 1%, the powder surface is not more than 20%, and the crushing degree is 6---8 pieces. The auxiliary materials used in the production of steamed Hengshui Laobaigan wine are rice husks as auxiliary materials for loosening. The fermented grains increase the fermentation interface, reduce starch concentration, absorb water, facilitate fermentation, blow heat and facilitate distillation. They are required to be fresh and free of mildew and impurities.
It is required to steam for more than 40 minutes before use. It removes evil odors and decomposes harmful substances. Ingredients for fermented fermented grains after leaving the vat. The quality of fermented fermented grains varies depending on their location in the vat. The quality of the upper and lower layers is slightly worse. The ingredients must be uniform. Wet the raw materials and divide them into three piles, and mix the fermented grains separately. 9-10 cylinders of wine fermented grains are paired with a steamer. Do the ingredients and add the auxiliary materials separately to avoid the raw materials being wrapped in the hard shell of the auxiliary materials, so that the raw materials cannot fully absorb the bottom. The acid content and moisture of the fermented grains affect gelatinization and fermentation. The prepared fermented wine must be uniform, without lumps or streaks, and then quickly covered with steamed rice skin. The entire operation process requires: "fast, accurate and even". Steamer installation Hengshui Laobaigan production uses dustpans to install steamer. The traditional steamer and barrel are made of wood and are fixed with three iron hoops on the outside. After long-term practice, the employees summed up the "Three Qi Steamer Installation Method". "Yiqi" refers to the stage from the beginning of loading the steamer until the fermented grains are about one foot thick and even with the outer bottom hoop of the barrel. "Er Qi" refers to the stage after "Yi Qi" until the fermented grains and the second hoop are aligned. "Three Qi" refers to the stage after "Two Qi" when the fermented grains and the third hoop are aligned and ready to be buckled. Distillation Gelatinization The distillation process of Hengshui Laobaigan Liquor is divided into four stages: the head, the body, the tail, and the tail. The production water of Hengshui Laobaigan is high-quality deep well water, which is clear and transparent and slightly sweet in the mouth. The Daqu used in Yanglengjiaqu Hengshui Laobaigan Liquor is a self-produced pure wheat medium-low temperature koji with a saccharification power of more than 1300 mg glucose/gqu·hour and a fermentation power of more than 80%. It contains a variety of molds, yeasts, bacteria and other microorganisms. This is the fundamental reason why Laobaigan liquor has a unique style and is different from other liquors. After adding pulp, the fermented grains are turned over and homogenized and then put on the drying bed to blow air. The front end of the fermented grains is broken up and used to mix the koji to expand the volume of the koji and make it more uniform when adding koji; the curved surface is attached to the fermented grains. After that, the mixed koji is evenly added to the air-dried fermented wine grains, stirred, and then put into the vat for fermentation. Fermentation in the vat The fermentation container in the production process of Hengshui Laobaigan is a ground vat with a volumetric weight of 150--160kg of fermented grains. The dried wine grains are quickly put into the vat, stepped on the vat, and made the cylinder cover. "Laobaigan" website "Laobaigan" is an SNS website based in Hengshui.
