Development history

Beijing Erguotou liquor Museum

It is the largest Erguotou liquor Museum in North China. In 2012, the museum was rated as a national 3A scenic spot. Hongxing combines industrial elements with tourism, filling the vacancy of Baijiu professional exhibition hall in Beijing City, and becoming a typical symbol of Beijing liquor culture. Beijing Erguotou Museum has been open to group tourists. Tourists who need to visit Beijing Erguotou museum can make an appointment in advance through red star official website, official microblog, contact number, etc.

Visitors can enjoy different years of Baijiu in the museum, learn how to appreciate the quality of Baijiu, and become a "wine taster". In addition, in order to encourage people to drink healthily, Beijing Erguotou Museum has specially built an excessive drinking experience room, the dreamland of wine country. The room is arranged with irregular sloping ground and multiple mirrors. Visitors can have intuitive feelings such as dizziness after drinking, unstable standing and transient amnesia after staying in the room for a while. At the same time, the museum also opened a pure hand-made wine making workshop to display the traditional wine making process, including bamboo wine urn, sorghum hoard, and the aroma of distiller's grains. As soon as you enter the wine making exhibition area on the first floor, you will immediately feel a strong aroma of wine.

The Baijiu (ancient liquor) originated in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of 800 years ago in Beijing. According to historical records, the capital is the most famous wine producer. In 1680, Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunyi and Zhao Cunli, technicians of yuanshenghao, a liquor making workshop outside qianmenwai, invented the distillation process of pinching the head, removing the tail and taking the middle part in order to improve the quality of Shaojiu. The traditional brewing technology of Beijing Erguotou was born. For example, the traditional brewing technology of Beijing Erguotou has been listed in the national intangible cultural heritage.

When was yuanshenghao founded? There is no detailed record in the history books. It is only handed down by word of mouth among the people. We all agree that the founder of yuanshenghao was a businessman in southern Shanxi. The business of Shanxi Merchants is all over the world, and their names are all over the world. We should collect wisdom, skill, wealth, potential, means and tools. It is also the word "Zang". The reason why the traditional brewing technique of Beijing Erguotou has been handed down to the present day is that the authentic brewing technique of Erguotou has always been taught orally by teachers and apprentices. Only in this way can this unique secret technique be inherited from generation to generation. Erguotou Erguotou Erguotou is the ninth generation of disciples of Zhao, Ai Jinzhong, who is the only representative of the eighth generation of Erguotou liquor making technology, the traditional brewing technique of Erguotou in Beijing, and the famous Baijiu master Gao Jingyan.

In May 1949, old Beijing "yuanshenghao", "tongquanyong" and

"Jingquanmao", "yonghecheng" and other 12 famous traditional cookers and talents were incorporated to establish Beijing brewery Experimental Factory, which was later renamed as state-owned Beijing brewery, the predecessor of Beijing Red Star Co., Ltd. Baijiu Erguotou, the first batch of liquor products, was put on the market in August.

The state-owned Beijing brewery was the first state-owned brewery in Beijing in the 1950s. At that time, in order to be different from the Erguotou liquor produced by other Shaoguo, the trademark "Red Star" was used. As soon as "Red Star Erguotou liquor" was born, national leaders attached great importance to it. At that time, state leaders Zhu De and Li Xiannian all visited the factory. Premier Zhou Enlai also personally listened to the report of the factory director.

In 1965, Hongxing Erguotou was entrusted by the government to support 19 suburban and county distilleries, including Shunyi Niulanshan, Changping distillery and Daxing distillery. It implemented the policy of "seven management and two invariance" for the centralized distilleries. Except for the financial and personnel invariance, the other distilleries were under the unified management of the head office. With the support of "four guarantees and four help", the four guarantees were responsible for the management of production technology, product quality, new product trial production and scientific research And major technological innovation and new projects; four help is to help centralized distilleries transform production technology and equipment, develop production and improve working conditions.

On May 1, 1958, the full registration of "Hongxing Erguotou" was carried out.

In 1981, red star, taking the overall situation into consideration, voluntarily gave up the trademark registration of Erguotou in order to support the distilleries in Beijing to jointly expand the "Erguotou" category. It can be said that red star is in an orthodox position in the history of Erguotou hair exhibition, and is a well deserved master of Erguotou. It can be said that without red star, there would be no Erguotou.

In November 2011, the Erguotou liquor Museum of Beijing Red Star Co., Ltd. officially opened to welcome guests, adding another scene to Beijing's industrial tourism. In the museum, visitors can learn about the origin of Erguotou through nearly 100 precious cultural relics, and taste the original liquor just brewed. The special "drunken cabin" lets you feel a sober experience of "drunkenness" in the "dreamland". The grade is national 3a.

Visit Beijing Erguotou liquor museum to learn about the 800 year history of Erguotou's inheritance.

The distiller was invented in the Yuan Dynasty 800 years ago, and the brewing technology of Shaojiu was born. In the Qing Dynasty, the "yuanshenghao" distillery in Qianmen created the brewing technology of Erguotou. Until after the founding of new China, red star has incorporated 12 old cooking pots in Beijing, which has been passed on for nine generations.

Therefore, Hongxing is the inheritor of the traditional brewing technology of Erguotou in Beijing. This is the secret of the old Beijing wine cup. It is the source of Beijing wine. This long history has been perfectly interpreted in the Erguotou Museum. The artistic conception in the exhibition hall is a living wine culture.

There are nearly 100 pieces of wine utensils "cultural relics" collected from folk and other museums.

In order to truly restore the traditional brewing process of "Erguotou", Hongxing Erguotou restores the whole scene with a ratio of 1:1, presenting the whole traditional brewing process of Erguotou from grain selection to koji making, fermentation, distillation and blending. Visitors can intuitively understand the brewing process of Erguotou liquor, the little-known traditional technology and the mysterious stunt of "picking wine from flowers".

Beijing wine culture exhibition area (the source of Beijing wine): you can see a Yuan Dynasty wine jar on the left side of the entrance. It is a rare cultural relic preserved and inherited from yuanshenghao during the reign of Kangxi. It can be said that it is the treasure of "yuanshenghao".

Along with the treasure jar on the Internet, Mr. Cheng Siyuan, former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, wrote the inscription "red star shines high", which witnessed the wonderful stories that happened every day in the museum.

Then, step by step, you can see the "Xueshan village site", which displays wine vessels such as red pottery bottles 6000 or 7000 years ago.

Beside it, there is also the "ape man's wine making" restoration plan, which is the most original meaning of the history of Chinese baijiu. The history of Beijing wine can be traced back to 500000 years ago. After understanding this period of history and looking at these pictures again, we will find that it echoes with the wine vessels of various periods in the display cabinet, which is magnificent.

Chinese wine culture has experienced four important development periods: Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, Wei, Jin, Sui, Tang, song, Liao and Jin Dynasties. Although there are great developments, there is no breakthrough in the art. It was not until the invention of the Distiller in the Yuan Dynasty that the brewing technology developed rapidly, which laid the foundation for the birth of Erguotou.

In the exhibition area, we are lucky to see the glorious moment when Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, served wine and feasted his officials with "Dushan and Yuhai".

Erguotou Historical Development Zone: it tells tourists about the development history of Erguotou. In addition to some precious wine vessels, there are also related old publications posted in the exhibition cabinet, including compendium of Materia Medica, agricultural administration book of Daoguang period, recipe Grand View of Qing Dynasty and other precious materials. It records Shaojiu, Erguotou and the origin of its name one by one, with a long history One spot. In addition, the "historical development era of Chinese liquor making" displayed in relief also made the tourists marvel.

When it comes to Erguotou skills, we have to mention yuanshenghao. The mysterious skills of yuanshenghao distillery are also presented one by one in this exhibition hall. First of all, the bronze statues of three brothers, Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunyi and Zhao Cunli, the originators of Erguotou craft, came into view. From the exhibition board, we can also see the koji making process, the old five steamer process, the mixed steaming and burning process, and the storage and blending process in Erguotou process. These processes have been mysterious and unique skills of the wine making technicians in the past 300 years, and the way of pinching the head, removing the tail, and taking the middle part of the wine is the first creation of the wine making technicians in Beijing.

At the same time, we can see many sculptures of wine making technicians, which reveal the brewing process of Erguotou liquor in those years: the beginning of koji making and koji stepping. Making is the first step of making wine. Smash the wheat and pea, mix them according to the ancestral secret recipe according to a certain proportion, add water and put them into the mold for koji. Then put the stepped koji into the fermentation tank for fermentation to form koji for storage. The next step is for the distiller to mix the fermented grains. In short, the crushed koji powder and water are added to the liquor after cooking and gelatinization
