The origin of Tongzhou wine history: there was bamboo leaf green in Beijing and Erguotou in Shanxi.

Tongzhou, now a district of Beijing, is the administrative sub-center of Beijing. It was called Luxian County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, changed to Tongzhou in the Yuan Dynasty, changed to Tongxian County in the Republic of China, and established Tongzhou District in 1997. Tongzhou is the terminal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal entering Beijing, and it is an important liquor producing area in history. Unfortunately, liquor production has been stopped in recent years. If liquor production is not resumed, people in the future may not know the past of liquor production in Tongzhou. The author of this paper, Mr. Chen Xuezeng, is a liquor collector in Tongzhou, Beijing. He used to be the factory director and sales company manager of Tongzhou Distillery in Beijing, and then Tongzhou Distillery closed down. Mr. Chen Xuezeng devoted himself to liquor collection and began to study the history of Tongzhou liquor. Based on the initial intention of preserving the history of Tongzhou liquor, we collected information from various sources and compiled the article "Exploring the History of Tongzhou Liquor". This article is an excerpt, hoping to get a glimpse of the past glory of Tongzhou liquor through the wine varieties that Tongzhou once had, or to leave evidence for Tongzhou liquor.

The Chronicle of Tongzhou compiled by Gao Tianfeng in the 48th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, "What are the local customs? Native products? The "Genus of Goods" volume records: "There are two kinds of wine: yellow and burnt. Bamboo leaf green, the name of the state wine. "

, the fifth edition of Tongzhouzhi in Guangxu, Qing Dynasty? "Native products" also records: "There are two kinds of wine, yellow-burned, bamboo leaf green, which is the name of the state wine." It shows that in the middle of Qing Dynasty, Tongzhou once produced bamboo leaf green wine and Erguotou wine at that time. I don't know why the bamboo leaf green in Tongzhou disappeared later. Interestingly, Erguotou in Shanxi also disappeared later. I wonder if there was a patent system or trademark right at that time, which needs further research.

dozens of Qing dynasty wines were introduced in the novel Jing Hua Yuan, which was written by Li Ruzhen, a native of Daxing in Qing dynasty. Among the 7 famous wines recorded, Zhili East Road wine was produced in Tongzhou area.

In "Beijing Brewing" produced by Beijing Brewing General Factory from 1979 to 198, Tongzhou Laojiao, Xiangyang Erguotou, Luquan Liquor, Yongle Fermented Liquor and Yongle Liquor were introduced, among which Tongzhou Laojiao produced by Tongxian Distillery won the first prize in 1978-1979.

In Beijing Wine published by Beijing Sugar Industry Tobacco and Alcohol Company in 1986, Mr. Wang Shutian introduced that there were royal wine workshops in Beijing in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which were specially designed to make wine for the court. There were many varieties, such as "Pearl Red" and "Bamboo Leaf Green". At the same time, he mentioned "Tongzhou Bamboo Leaf Green", "Zhangjiawan Bay Wine" and "Shaojiu in the cauldron of Majuqiao" in Beijing folk brewing, and the book also introduced.

Page 228 of Peiping Customs and Diet records: "The drink of Jingzhao people: wine, bamboo leaves in Tongxian"; In 1943, there was a record of "Three-character brand Sapporo: Bamboo Leaf Green" in China Historical Records and Terrestrial Records (ni) edited by Zhangjiang, which fully proved that bamboo leaf green in Tongzhou was all the rage at that time.

according to the records of Daxing prefecture, Tongzhou (which was under the jurisdiction of Daxing prefecture at that time) produced wine named "drunken Liuxia" in the Yuan Dynasty. After liberation, Daxing Distillery imitated Wuliangye technology and developed a Luzhou-flavor liquor by itself. After checking the local records, it was named "Zuiliuxia Liquor", and its name is still in use today.

In addition, the famous Tongrentang Tiger Bone Liquor and Guogong Liquor are all produced in Tongzhou. At present, Tongquanyong Winery registered by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is an important asset left by the unsuccessful cooperation between Tongzhou Winery and Tongrentang Pharmaceutical Winery, and it is also a witness to the development of Tongzhou wine industry.
