Cultural Note

Yanghe's brewing techniques originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing. The process employs the traditional 'Lao Wu Zheng' (five-steaming) method, combined with modern biotechnology, to create a soft-flavor baijiu style. The brewing emphasizes low-temperature fermentation and slow maturation, resulting in a mellow and smooth body. Yanghe's Ming and Qing-era fermentation pits are hailed as 'living cultural relics of Chinese baijiu,' and its brewing techniques have been listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, exemplifying the fusion of tradition and innovation.
