? Tai 'an has a long history of brewing, and there has been brewing industry in all dynasties. Most emperors made pilgrimages to Mount Tai and offered Taian wine as a sacrifice. For example, the Ming Dynasty's Meng Lu in Tao An recorded that "Tai 'an House on Mount Tai" contains "plain wine and meat wine". In the Qing Dynasty, because Taian was located in the center of Shandong Province, the wine industry was extremely prosperous. In the past, there were about 400 breweries, whose products were shochu. "It can be seen that Taian liquor industry is grand. During the period of 1934, there were as many as 35 woks in Tai 'an. 1945, scattered small woks were merged to form taian county Winery. Come and enjoy a bottle of "Taishan old wine" in my collection.

The value of a bottle of old wine collected for many years will increase with the passage of time, but its use value will also increase gradually. A good bottle of old wine is not only drinkable, but also more mellow than ordinary wine and has better drinking value. Liquor-making with distiller's yeast is the essence of China's liquor-making. This invention can brew countless wines in the history of China. The real old wine is to drink one bottle less, and the value of other old wines will be higher and higher. This is also the case.

The author loves old wine and is not good at drinking. Every time I see a bottle of old wine with a sense of the times, I am very moved. Look at the old wine, recall the past, Do not forget your initiative mind, forge ahead and realize the value and significance of life. (Li Changwei Taian Wine Culture Research Association)
