1573 Guobaokeng Pool is located in the ditch head of Chengnanying, Luzhou City, which is today's Guobaokeng Square. National treasure pits brew national wine. "National pits 1573" is China Luzhou-flavor national wine.
Luzhou was called Jiangyang in ancient times, a veritable "wine city". Luzhou Laojiao Tequ is also the representative of Luzhou-flavor liquor. Luzhou Laojiao Tequ (Daqu) was produced in Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Luzhou is located in the southern margin of Sichuan Basin, at the intersection of Yangtze River and Tuojiang River, and at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing provinces. It is one of the earliest areas where human beings lived together in Sichuan Basin, and it is a national historical and cultural city announced by the State Council, with a history of more than 2 130 years. The mountains around Luzhou are rolling, the climate is warm, and the rain is abundant, which breeds longan and litchi, especially waxy sorghum (red grain) and wheat, which are the best raw materials for wine making.
Lu wine began in Qin and Han Dynasties.
Luzhou is one of the regions with the longest brewing history in China. Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in Luzhou, the history of Luzhou liquor-making can be traced back at least to the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the showroom of Luzhou Museum, there is a local unearthed "ceramic drinking horn cup", which was identified by the national cultural relics department as an artifact of the Qin and Han Dynasties more than 2,000 years ago and was specially used for entertaining guests and drinking. In 1983, in the "Witchcraft Blessing Picture" on the No.8 Han Coffin unearthed in the suburbs of Luzhou, two wizards held high bottles, which once again proved that Luzhou was not only good at that time, but also had a wine culture of "taking wine as a gift" and also confirmed the "wine road" of "no wine as a gift" in Chinese wine culture. Sima Xiangru, a famous poet in the Han Dynasty, wrote in "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix": "There is mash in southern Sichuan, and the fragrance overflows the world, which urges me to think leisurely and write a poem." Because I drank Luzhou wine.
According to legend, in 225 AD, Zhuge Liang's troops stationed in the ancient city of Luzhou hid a military exercise array on the secluded Zhongshan Mountain to prepare for the southern expedition. At that time, the plague was prevalent in Luzhou, and Zhuge Liang sent people to collect hundreds of kinds of herbs, make them into Quyao, brew them into wine with the water from Longquan in Yinggoutou, let the soldiers of the three armed forces drink a spoonful every day and give them to the people at the same time, just to avoid the plague. The method of brewing wine with koji medicine has also been handed down and become a glory in the history of Luzhou liquor.
Lu Jiuxing flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
1February 3, 1999, a batch of ceramic utensils, including more than 200 pieces of pots, cups, cans, bowls and plates 10 kinds of wine vessels, were excavated at the capital construction site about 300 meters south of Luzhou Laojiao Tequ (Daqu) cellar pool. According to the research and appraisal of archaeological experts, Yinggoutou ancient cellar is from the end of Sui Dynasty to the beginning of Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. It can be seen that drinking was widely popular among the people at that time. According to historical records, Luzhou was promoted to general manager in Sui Dynasty, to governor in the seventh year of Wude in Tang Dynasty (AD 624), and in the prosperous period of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong appointed Cheng, the founding father of Tang Dynasty, as commander-in-chief of Luzhou, which shows Luzhou's important position in politics, economy and culture at that time. Cheng contributed to the exchange of brewing yellow rice wine between ethnic minorities in southern Shandong and the traditional brewing technology of Han nationality, promoted the unity of all ethnic groups and further promoted the development of brewing technology. In the second year of Tang Zhaozong Jingfu (AD 892), Liu Xie, the nephew of the great calligrapher Liu Gongquan, was transferred to Luzhou for secretariat. As soon as he entered this state, the local rich chiefs greeted him and bought him a drink. They promoted the development of Luzhou brewing production through manor brewing workshop. Zheng Gu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Traveling from Suizhou to Lujun": "I will go with my teacher, and litchi will ripen in spring and go to Chongqing." Spring was another name for wine in ancient times. The so-called litchi spring is a wine with litchi as the main aroma component, which shows that Luzhou litchi has been used as one of the raw materials for brewing wine 1000 years ago, and the quality of the wine is high enough to attract romantic celebrities like Zheng Gu. It can be seen that the production and consumption of Luzhou liquor in Tang Dynasty were quite developed.
Huang Tingjian, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in Luzhou for half a year. He saw that Luzhou's agricultural economy was more developed than the surrounding areas, and sorghum was planted everywhere to make wine. He couldn't help chanting, "Jiang 'an is short of food, but Jiangyang (Luzhou) is full of wine. "At that time, Luzhou officials and even villagers brought their own rotten beds and made wine at home. In the Song Dynasty, an urban racecourse was set up in Luzhou. According to the agreement reached between the tribal leaders and the Song Dynasty, the ethnic minorities of Xuyong, Gu Lin and Qianbian went to Luzhou to sell war horses and other commodities around the winter solstice every year. Behind this caravan, thousands of men and women of all ethnic groups used bamboo rafts to carry ginkgo, glutinous rice, tea, hemp, hides, miscellaneous carpets, indigo and other agricultural and sideline products from Jiangmen Gorge. According to the General Examination of Literature in Song Dynasty, before the tenth year of Xining in Song Shenzong (A.D. 1077), there were 26 counties in China, and the annual business tax collected in Song Dynasty was above100000 yuan, and Luzhou was one of them. At that time, among the six "commercial" organizations established in Luzhou, one was a "wine service" that specifically levied wine tax, and the annual wine tax was about 1 10,000 yuan. Since the seventh year of Song Taizong Taiping Xingguo (AD 983), small wine (yellow wine) and big wine (distilled wine) appeared in Fengjie and Luzhou, Sichuan. This kind of liquor is very close to Luzhou-flavor liquor brewed today in the aspects of raw material selection, technological operation, koji-making and steaming, alcohol fermentation mode, storage and alcoholization, and liquor quality, and can be said to be the predecessor of Luzhou Laojiao special koji. In the Song Dynasty, Luzhou had a wine cellar. After Tang Geng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, drank Luzhou's fine wine, his poem "Hundred Jin of yellow perch opens jade, and thousands of families drink red wine. ".Yugan ferry passenger ship, litchi forest people. "Publicizing the beautiful scenery of Luzhou has become a magnificent masterpiece to eulogize Luzhou liquor. Regrettably, the Mongolian Shu-Ding War, which lasted for half a century between Song and Yuan Dynasties, destroyed a large number of cultural relics of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD in Song Dynasty. However, only in 1984, during the excavation of Luzhou town, people accidentally unearthed five wine cellars of unknown age, which proved to be the remains of the Song Dynasty.
Lu Jiuxing flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After Zhu Yuanzhang unified China and established the Ming Dynasty, the wine-making industry in Luzhou, a wine city, began a new development. One of the achievements is that the heads of Chengnan Yinggou in Luzhou are now arranged in rows, which was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573), and the most complete and longest-lasting old cellar group "Guojiao 1573" is 43 1 year ago.
Yang Shen, a great poet in Ming Dynasty, wrote passionately about Luzhou Wine City: "Flowers frequently pass through small towns, and the sunset slowly returns". The poet refers to the scene of going home after drinking Luzhou fine wine in a small market in Luzhou. Yang Shen also has a poem: "Yuhu wine party will be a Chinese banquet, and the group fans will sit in the afternoon." Yang Shen often invites poets to get together in a small garden halfway up the mountain in a small city in summer time, when the fruit is ripe. Yang Shen is also good at small garden romance, indulging in Luzhou fine wine and singing the drunken song "Jiang foreign wine is ripe like brocade, who is drunk afterwards?" , tells his feelings of drunkenness in Luzhou, and shows that Luzhou fine wine has won wide acclaim for its high quality for hundreds of years from Ming to Qing.
There is also a folklore that Zhang, a hero of the peasant uprising, drank Daqu of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. and praised it again and again: "Good wine, good wine!" Then he led the army to cross the rubicon and marched into Chengdu in three ways.
Zhang Wentao, a famous poet in Qing Dynasty, took a boat to the gate of Luzhou on July 9th in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (AD 1792) and stayed here for one day. Although it has been more than 200 years since, it has been sung so far and has become the eternal swan song of chanting this wine city. "The somebody else one of the 17 unique water city gate, restaurant red river. The cup is good for Luzhou, and the fingers are orange. " What a compliment the word "I love Luzhou" is to LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Daqu! The second sentence is "Tan Pingshan is far away, and the wine is green, the lights are red and the water is blue.". There are only three or five sails, and there is no room for Jiangnan. " Before he left, Zhang Wentao bought several altars of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Daqu and went down the river, enjoying the scenery and drinking. When he stayed at the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River overnight, he wrote: "Fuzhou Zhuju Kuizhou pomelo, see a boat in the cage. I was so tired when I passed by, and the mountains and rivers greeted me with a smile. The article is quite meaningful. Why do you have to spend thousands of dollars on food? Temporarily store the ice tray to open the wine and clear the hometown. " Zhang Wentao, a poet, opened Luzhou "cellar wine" with turtles in a jar, tasted a glass of elegant wine with Fuzhou oranges and Kuizhou pomelo, and felt homesick. However, his poem "temporary storage of wine on an ice tray is better than a cup of clear hometown" unexpectedly left precious historical materials for Luzhou people. It is proved that LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. more than 200 years ago was famous for its "cellar wine", and its wine body was "pure and unique" with the characteristics of "pure and sweet" mentioned in Luzhou local chronicles, which made people fondle it.
During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the river at the foot of Luzhou was more than ten miles, with seven floors inside and eight floors outside. The mast is like a forest and looks like another fence outside the city wall. Zhang Chuanshan's Watertown under the Door (that is, Zhang Wentao) is such a bustling scene. Known as the "first state in southern Sichuan", the old memorial archway in Luzhou is actually counted in all the States in Zhiliting, Sichuan, and its richness is second to none.
In the fifth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1879), the annual output of Luzhou cellar wine was 10 tons. On the eve of the Revolution of 1911, Luzhou was full of wine cellars. There are more than ten workshops for brewing Qu liquor, including Wen Yongsheng, Tian Chengsheng, Xie Taixiang, Chun Herong, Yongxing Cheng, Hong Xing He, Yitaihe, Ai Rentang, Daxing He and Xinhua, with an annual output of more than 240 tons of Qu liquor. According to the records in Yueweitang Miscellaneous Notes in Qing Dynasty, the first generation of Luzhou Daqu liquor was brewed in the first year of Taiding in Yuan Dynasty (A.D. 1324), and the folk saying that "there are more wine cellars than wells" is another witness to the prosperity of Luzhou liquor industry.
After the reform in the Republic of China, with the further development of production and transportation, Daqu of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. was exported to both inside and outside the province. Chinese and foreign merchants such as Guangzhou and Nanyang are also scrambling to purchase. On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the annual output of Qu liquor reached 800 tons. The competition among wine workshops is fierce, each one strives for perfection in technological quality, and the quality of Qu liquor is constantly high. During the Anti-Japanese War, the annual output of Luzhou Qu liquor reached 1.08 million tons, ranking first in Sichuan and becoming a veritable "wine city".
