Millet: Also known as yellow rice, it is the fruit of millet without shell, slightly larger than millet and slightly yellow in color. )。
In the south, rice (especially glutinous rice) is widely used as raw material for brewing yellow rice wine. Since the Song Dynasty, the political, cultural and economic centers have moved south, and the production of yellow rice wine is limited to several southern provinces.
The production of shochu began in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was popularized in the North in the Yuan Dynasty. The output of yellow rice wine in the north is gradually shrinking, and drinking soju in the south is not as common as that in the north. In the south, the production of yellow rice wine was preserved. By the Qing Dynasty, yellow rice wine in Shaoxing, south China, was dominant at home and abroad.
