The Origin of Zhanggongwang Liquor

Generally speaking, there is no one in old Ganzhou who has never heard of the legend that "Yang dug a well at the crossroads to help the poor and strangled him". This legend tells that in the Five Dynasties, after Yang rescued the poor and divined geomantic omen for Lv Guanghou, Lv Guanghou worried that Yang rescued the poor and divined geomantic omen for others, which ruined his great event of dominating the imperial industry, so he forced Yang to drink it with poisoned wine, and Yang hurriedly fled to Duyaokou, not wanting to die of drug attack. Before he died, Yang asked his disciples to return to Ganzhou and tricked Lu Guanghou into digging wells at several intersections in the city. The geomantic omen of Yang Poverty Alleviation Office proved to be effective. Lu was really taken in, and dug Dongmen Well, Huanghua Well, Sixianfang Well and Taiyin Well at four intersections. We don't need to pay attention to the truth of the legend, but Dongmenjing has nourished the people of Qianzhou for thousands of years.

During the Republic of China, Dongmenjing had a more vivid story. During this period, Ganzhou City was popular with "the water of the big pier, the wind of the second gate, the mouth of the camp corner, the ghost of the loyal camp, the wine of the East Gate well ..." and other "Ganzhou first". "Dongmenjing Liquor" refers to the fine liquor produced by Wanyuan Liquor Store, the predecessor of Ganzhou Liquor Company, which originated in the late Qing Dynasty and became famous all over the world during the Anti-Japanese War. The source of wine-making is dongmen well water. At that time, the well water in the East Gate was abundant and delicious. Through the beauty of well water, the brewed wine is mellow and moist, and it is very delicious. Since then, Ganzhou liquor has become famous.

1952 1 On the basis of renaming Wanyuan, Wenhange and Laodacheng as "Wanyuan Xieji", the state bought it at a discount of more than 4,000 yuan in the form of redemption, and established the state-owned Ganzhou Distillery, which later became Ganzhou Distillery, which is today's Ganzhou Liquor Company. It is said that even a few years later, the water used by Laozhang Distillery produced by Ganzhou Distillery is still the well water of Dongmen Well.
