Longwo Series Liquor

Longwo Series Liquor

　　 In the heart of the eight-hundred-li Qinchuan Plain lies a place called Longwo. During the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, a well was dug here. Its water, miraculously pure, proved perfect for brewing. Thus, Longwo Liquor came into being, growing richer in flavor with each batch, its aroma wafting across the Guanzhong region. According to the Chronicles of Longwo Liquor, in ancient times Longwo was flanked by rivers to the east and west, with winding waterways forming nine bends that pooled into a lake. It was often wreathed in low clouds and mist, with the majestic sight of a dragon soaring into the sky. Legend has it: “The dragon rests on this blessed land, drinking its waters to regain youthfulness.” Hence the name Longwo. In 1936, during the December 12th Incident, General Yang Hucheng hosted a banquet for Zhou Enlai, representative of the Chinese Communist Party, serving Longwo Liquor. The vice-chairman was full of praise, and thanks in part to this, the Xi’an Incident was peacefully resolved. Today, in this new era of prosperity, the ancient well has been revitalized, and Xun Liquor Workshop revives the grandeur of this traditional brew. A monument has been erected to record the truth, sing its virtues, celebrate its fame, and showcase the timeless spirit of the people and land of Qin.
