The Guijing Tribute Liquor is produced by the Gujing Distillery in Hao County of Anhui Province. During the last years of the East Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, the king of the Wei State, once submitted in written statement and presented to Emperor Xian the "Method of Nine-brewage Spring Wine" of the deceased magistrate of the county handed down from the older generations of the family. According to the local historical records, the local water used for brewing the liquor comes from an ancient well left from the South and North Dynasties. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the local fine liquor was once presented to the emperor as a tribute. Hence, it enjoys a good reputation as "Gujing tribute wine". The Guijing Tribute Liquor belongs to aromatic white wine. Its characteristics are: "the color is as clear as crystal; the aroma is as pure as a secluded orchid; it tastes sweet and pure in the mouth and has a lingering aftertaste".
