Baofeng County won the title of "Provincial Yidi Wine Culture Town"

On October 27, this reporter learned from the Baofeng County Literary Association that recently, the Provincial Folk Writers Association awarded the county the title of "Hometown of Yidi Wine Culture in Henan Province."

According to Ah Weiguo, deputy director of the standing committee of the county's people's congress and chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Baofeng County has a rich history and culture, and a variety of cultures reflect each other, of which the oldest and most extensive is the Yidi wine culture. Shangjiu Town is full of a large number of ancient wine culture relics, dating back more than 4100 years. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the shangjiu town of "Ten Thousand Homes Standing Stove, Thousand Villages Floating Fragrance" flourished for a while. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were ten liquor stores in Ruzhou, Baofeng lived in the seventh, and the theorist Cheng Hao once served as a liquor supervisor, leaving a good story of "sitting in the spring wind". After many studies, Yi Di was born and brewed wine in the area of Shangjiu Village in Shangjiu Town.

Since modern times, Yidi wine culture has been well inherited and carried forward in Baofeng. In 1915, Baofeng liquor won the "First Class Medal of the Panama International Exposition", making Chinese liquor famous all over the world. In 1956, at the first national winemaking conference, Baofeng wine was rated as a famous wine in Henan. In 1989, at the Fifth National Liquor Appraisal Conference, Baofeng Liquor became one of the top 17 Chinese liquors. In 2008, Baofeng wine brewing technology was selected into the second batch of "National Intangible Cultural Heritage" list. Baofeng wine culture has many relics, and folk wine culture stories are richly circulated, which is a veritable wine culture county. Baofeng County has set up the Yidi Wine Culture Research Association, dedicated to the study of Yidi culture, and has held the Yidi Cultural Festival every year since 2012.

Ah Weiguo said that the county will further highlight the cultural characteristics of Yidi wine according to its own characteristics and actual situation, promote the combination of culture and tourism, realize the coordinated development of Baofeng wine cultural brand influence and tourism economic benefits, and strive to create a "Hometown of Chinese Yidi Wine Culture" as soon as possible.
