According to media reports, the expert group for the archaeological excavation of the Tomb of the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty in Nanchang announced that the identity of the owner of the tomb of the Marquis of Hai was confirmed to be Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" more than 2,000 years ago. The tomb owner left many mysteries, waiting for an answer spanning thousands of years. A bronze "still" shaped like a liquor-making product was found in the cultural relics excavated from the tomb of Hai Xiahou. "At first, we guessed that this apparatus was used to make juice or alchemy. After identification, we found residues of taro. Experts say that until now, the main raw material for making sake in Japan is taro, and the discovery of residues has made experts think that this should be a vessel used for distillation to make shochu. According to the data, the earliest wine-making distiller found in China belongs to the Yuan Dynasty, which is more than 800 years old. "If it can be proved that China could distill liquor during the Western Han Dynasty, it is equivalent to advancing the history of distilled liquor by more than 1,000 years." (Finishing)
