Description of Xinghua Village Attractions:
During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains, and pedestrians on the road want to kill their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village. Although the place described in the poem is Tongling, Anhui Province, people are used to associating Xinghua Village, the origin of Shanxi Fenjiu, with this poem.
Xinghua Village is an ordinary village. Compared with some villages in the south of the Yangtze River, it has no clear water, pavilions and waterside pavilions. Compared with some forest villages in the north, it has no towering mountains and thousands of years of ice and snow. However, her fame lies not in her scenery, but in the world-famous wine from here. Fenjiu is the pride of the people in Xinghua Village. While brewing and tasting her, the people in Xinghua Village also incorporated their own ideals and wishes, weaving a beautiful story.
There is an ancient well in Xinghua Village, which is a magical well for people in Xinghua Village and Fenjiu. Legend has it that a long time ago, a Taoist priest went to Kehua Village to get drunk in Xianju. He was so drunk that he didn't pay a penny after drinking, and he walked away. His master was kind and indifferent. This happened every day for the next few days, and finally one day I was drunk by the well in front of the store, and the fragrant wine came out of my nose and poured into the well, making the clear water into wine. Since then, the water in this well has turned into fragrant and sweet wine, and this well has been regarded as a divine well since then. Now the ancient well in front of Xinghua Village is the legendary well. Fenjiu, which is well-known at home and abroad, is brewed with this water of the same vein. It is said that the well water in Xinghua Village does have its magic. It is used for cooking and the water does not overflow the pot. Put it into a container, it will not rust or corrode; Washing clothes, soft and clean; Used to make wine, it is soft and sweet, which shows that its water quality is excellent.
For the wine in Xinghua Village, literati in past dynasties wrote poems and carved tablets, praising the fine wine. Fu Shan, a patriotic poet and calligrapher in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, personally wrote the words "Tao Hua Xiang" for this well. Now, if you look closely, you can see it on the stone wall next to the well. It is said that there was a pavilion near the well, which was named Ming Pavilion, and there was a monument outside the pavilion. According to ancient inscriptions, the well water tasted like a girl, sweet and fresh, and it was rich and fragrant, which was the source of Fenjiu and Zhuyeqing wine. There is Du Gong Temple in the south of Jingnan, which was built in memory of Du Mu by later generations. Unfortunately, the ancient tablet pavilion and ancestral temple have been destroyed, and the present tablet pavilion is rebuilt by present people.
Xinghua Village is endowed with unique brewing conditions. The climate here is mild and humid, the land is fertile, and sorghum is abundant, with full grains and high starch content, which is the top grade of brewing. Moreover, the underground water is rich in storage, high in quality and sweet in taste. Since ancient times, it has been known that the mulberry leaves in Hedong are not as sweet as they are, and the spring in Luyu is not enough to make them clear. It is said that wine-making in Xinghua Village began in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,5 years. There is a record in Volume 11 of the Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty that the emperor was in Jinyang, and he said with his hand: I drank two cups of Fenqing and advised you to drink two cups in Ye. Yu Xin, a poet in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, once wrote: Sanchun Bamboo Leaf Wine, a poem with a string, the earliest recorded bamboo leaf green wine, and so on. According to records, in the Tang Dynasty, there were 72 wine workshops in Xinghua Village, which increased to more than 22 in the middle of Qing Dynasty. In 1875, a squire from wang xing, Fenyang, founded Baoquan Yijiu Workshop in Xinghua Village, which is famous for producing Laobai Fenjiu. In 1915, it merged with Dehoucheng and Chongshengyong and changed its name to Yiquanyong. That year, Lao Baifen won the gold medal at the Panama World Expo. "Bingzhou New Newspaper", with the title of "German Brewing", "Anne-Marie Anne" and "Anger for Domestic Products", cheered the Chinese people, saying: Laobaifen shines brilliantly in North and South America, and Panama Competition is a blockbuster. Since then, Fenjiu has been well-known at home and abroad, and it has become famous all over the world. In 1919, Jinyu Fenjiu Company was born, and Fenjiu won twice in the world and six times in China. In 1949, the state-owned Xinghua Village Fenjiu Factory was established. By 1993, it had developed into one of the largest famous liquor production bases in China, and was transformed into Shanxi Xinghua Village Fenjiu (Group) Company, which became a diversified large company in brewing, service and tourism, including Xinghua Village Hotel, travel agency and other departments. Nowadays, traveling to Xinghua Village is actually a visit to Xinghua Village Fenjiu Factory.
