2024-11-29

More than 300 guests from the government departments, industry, business partners, and media witnessed the continuation and innovation of this traditional craft on the site, and worked together to promote the high-quality development of Yanfeng Liquor Industry.
In the time street of Huiyanfeng Distillery, some tourists, wearing aviator sunglasses as well as sportswear, with dual cassette recorders on their shoulders, took photos and even improvised a disco at the Times Photo Studio. In front of the paper cutting booth, many people marveled at the exquisite skills and unique charm of paper cutting.

In addition to tasting various specialty foods such as fine liquor and peanuts, there were also traditional entertainment activities such as hopscotch and cuju, allowing everyone to experience the charm of Hengyang’s characteristics and traditional culture while enjoying themselves.
Lingjiu Liquor is one of the Chinese fine liquors that have been famous for the longest time, recorded earliest and praised the most in poetry and prose. Sima Yan, founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, once named it as imperial tribute wine. It’s mentioned 33 times in historical records such as “Shui Jing Zhu” and “Qi Min Yao Shu”, and there are over 300 poems and essays praising it written by famous poets and litterateurs like Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu. All these historical imprints demonstrate its important position in Chinese liquor culture.

At the sealing ceremony, Yanfeng Liquor showcased its ancient and unique brewing techniques. As the inheritor of Linghu Liquor, it has the most well-preserved old cellars in Hunan Province. Its ancient brewing techniques have been passed down for hundreds of years and have become “living cultural relics” that cannot be replicated, and an important component of Hengzhou’s liquor culture.
