When did Maotai Festival begin?
In order to respect the spirit of being a teacher and inherit the traditional crafts, a ceremony to learn from the teacher was also held at Maotai Festival in 2022.

Around Chongyang, the sorghum in the valley has matured, and the Chishui River has changed from "red" to "clear", providing the best raw materials and the best brewing water for the production of Moutai. Starting from the Chongyang Xiasha, the production of Maotai liquor in the new year began, which also opened a new journey for Maotai people.
Maotai said that this reflects the craftsman spirit passed down from generation to generation in Maotai, and it is full of the memory and reverence of Maotai people for their ancestors and masters, the awe and promotion of Maotai's traditional crafts, and the virtue of respecting teachers and taking people by courtesy.
