Wujiapi Liquor

Wujiapi Liquor

　　Jiande Wujiapi has been produced since the Qianlong era over 200 years ago. This liquor is made by soaking 23 types of herbs that relax muscles and improve blood circulation, primarily Wujiapi, in premium grain-based baijiu. It is known to invigorate blood flow, remove dampness, relieve muscle fatigue, and strengthen the body. Once widely sold across southern China and exported to Southeast Asia, it became an essential item for households and travelers. In 1876, it won a gold medal at the Nanyang Industrial Exposition and the Singapore Nanyang Commodities Competition, and in 1915, it earned a silver award at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition. Today, Wujiapi liquor is considered authentic when branded as Zhizhonghe. As stated in The Doctrine of the Mean: “When the mean is attained, Heaven and Earth are in their proper places, and all things are nourished.”
