Dukou is a millennium-old ancient town. The flowing Wei River runs through it, serving as an important dock during the Song and Yuan dynasties and flourishing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, earning the nickname “Little Tianjin.” Dukou Daqu liquor was originally known as Bingtangchun Wine. The term “Bingtang” first appeared during the Northern Song Dynasty with Ouyang Xiu. In 1039, Ouyang Xiu was demoted to Huaizhou to serve as a prefectural judge and built an official office named “Bingtang,” where he brewed his own wine called “Bingtang Wine.” According to the *Huaxian County Annals*: “Bingtang,” established during the Song Dynasty when Ouyang Xiu governed the region, was once used to produce wine, known as “Bingtang Wine.” Bingtangchun Wine is the predecessor of Dukou Daqu, boasting a history of nearly a thousand years. Its wine has a rich red hue and a mellow flavor, enjoying fame for centuries. The great calligrapher Huang Tingjian wrote in *Qingpingyue · Drinking Party*: “Bingtang Wine is fine, I only lament the smallness of the silver cup.” The Southern Song poet Lu You noted in *Old Study Notes*: “In peaceful times, Huaizhou’s Bingtangchun Wine was the best in the world.” It embodies the regional characteristics of Dukou in Henan’s Huaxian, carries forward national cultural heritage, and fully showcases the cultural essence of “Dukou Daqu.”
