Extended data:
In the Tang Dynasty in the history of China, liquor distillation technology appeared almost simultaneously in the northwest and southwest border areas. Later, during the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was located in Bozhou (now Zunyi), less than 100 km east of Dafang County. This common brewing technology is used to make wine. In the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1600), the Zhu Ming Dynasty launched a war to quell the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou. Zunyi's agriculture suffered a collapse. And more than ten thousand officers and men swarmed around, drinking and feasting, and the consumption of Bozhou liquor increased sharply.
The relatively concentrated wine-making workshop owners in Maotai Village were forced to adopt the method of fermentation and distillation for several rounds, during which some new raw materials were mixed in order to make full use of the starch content in fermented grains and save sorghum and wheat with insufficient sources. So a set of "multi-round mixed sand fermentation steaming and baking" Moutai production basic technology was produced in Maotai Village Winery.
Since then, various generations of winemakers here have successively created "stacking technology" to fully ferment the new raw materials mixed between rounds; Some winemakers pour the inferior wine from the first distillation back into the wine and fermented grains to make it fragrant in the second fermentation. Therefore, the "sand-returning process" of Moutai production was produced.
After that, there are techniques such as high-temperature koji making, using a lot of koji, stepping on koji in Dragon Boat Festival, throwing sand on Chongyang, aging and so on. The production technology of Maotai liquor, which originated around twenty-eight years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, was improved for more than one hundred years in the early years of Qing Qianlong, resulting in a unique wine body and a great reputation. Since the late Qing Dynasty, Maotai Village has been changed to Maotai Town because of its increasing popularity and population.
