The development of history

The life experience of Sterling Wine can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty 3500 years ago. Since Yidi brewed the first drop of wine in human history here, the 5,000-year brewing history of Zhangshu has never stopped.

After the Shang Dynasty destroyed Xia Hou, the "King of Wu" searched for the remains of his ancestors and got the Atlas of Yidi Brewing. According to the map, he took Gezaoshan Jiulong spring water and local high-quality rice. After 998 1 day, he brewed a barrel of sweet wine.

On the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Dapeng trademark was used to mark four special characters to show its superiority. With the popularity of "Aster" wine, restaurants in Ji 'an, Taihe, Yichun, Fuzhou and other places are scrambling to purchase. In 1930s, the annual output of Lou Yuan Long was as high as100000 Jin.
