Brand Story
Aisin Gioro Zu Jia Fang traces its roots to Liaoning, with a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that Nurhaci, the founding emperor, established a distillery in Xinbin, Liaoning, to brew liquor for rituals and celebrations during his unification of the Jurchen tribes. This liquor later became a tribute to the imperial court. The name 'Zu Jia Fang' derives from the ancestral home of the Aisin Gioro clan, the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty, commemorating the hardships of their forebears. After the Qing entered the Shanhai Pass, the distillery continued to serve the royal family exclusively, while its brewing techniques were secretly passed down among the Manchu people. In modern times, Zu Jia Fang Distillery was revitalized in Liaoning, blending traditional methods with contemporary technology to revive the royal liquor's glory. Using sorghum and wheat as raw materials, the liquor undergoes ancient solid-state fermentation, resulting in a mellow body and a lingering finish that reflects the fusion of Manchu culinary culture and Chinese liquor heritage. Zu Jia Fang is not merely a beverage; it is a living testament to Manchu history and imperial culture, holding significant cultural value.
