　　Historical Legend

　　In the first year of the Yongli era of the Ming Dynasty (the fourth year of the Shunzhi era, 1647 AD), it is said that Emperor Yongli traveled south with his princess to inspect the people’s conditions. When passing through Sanjiang County, they stayed in Guyi Town. The county magistrate of Sanjiang hastily prepared a banquet in their honor and presented a treasured wine. During the feast, Emperor Yongli took a sip and immediately felt refreshed and free of fatigue. He asked eagerly, “What kind of wine is this? It’s truly miraculous!” The magistrate replied, “This is our county’s Chongyang Wine. It has been brewed among the people for over a thousand years, using a complex process and aged underground in cellars for years, making it an extremely precious brew!” Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongli summoned brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and immediately issued an imperial edict. Since then, Chongyang Wine has been served as a tribute to the royal court. Sanjiang’s signature Drum Tower Chongyang Wine carries on the essence of centuries-old wine culture and has now become a beloved health-preserving treasure wine cherished by many.
