1879, Shi Rongxiao founded "Rong Tai and Shaofang" in Maotai Village, which created a model of Maotai flavor and was later called the originator of Maotai flavor. Maotai-flavor brewing technology, which has been inherited for a hundred years, has a history of 140 years. As one of the few century-old brands in Maotai Town, Shirong Liquor Industry has always been its mission to inherit the culture of Maotai-flavor liquor and its exclusive brewing secret recipe. Quality is the foundation of enterprise development. In order to brew high-quality Maotai-flavor wine, Shirong Small Wine Industry has guaranteed the quality of the wine from the source and invested every penny in the quality of the wine, which is not only a respect for the Maotai-flavor wine industry, but also a responsibility to consumers.

The original sites of Rong Tai and Shaofang established by Shi Rongxiao were indeed the source of maojiu, which was later taken over by the government and merged into Maotai. His descendants also established their own brands of "Rong Tai in Guizhou and Shi Rongxiao in Shaofang".
