What's the next sentence of Deng Yan Qiu Chi River?

"The wine crown is the country of the people, and the salt is above the Red River." This poem comes from the famous scholar and poet Zhengzhen's Maotai Town in Qing Dynasty.

Zhengzhen (1806- 1864) was a scholar and poet in Qing Dynasty. Zi Ziyin, later named Chai Weng, was born in Zunyi, Guizhou. Daoguang is a juren and once worked as an instructor in Libo County. He taught elementary schools and Confucian classics, and was also a poet of the Song Dynasty at that time. He wrote Notes on Yi Li's Private School and Chao Jing Chao Ji.

The whole poem of maotai village: travel far and near counties, and gather together in ancient times to learn about potuo. Wine is the crown of Guizhou people, and salt is in the Red River. It's dark in autumn, and there are many mountains over there. There is no boat to the water, and it will take two days to worry.

Creation background

In the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843), a writer and poet in Zunyi, Guizhou Province, was called Zhengzhen, a great scholar in Southwest China. He went from Zunyi to Renhuaitang to visit Pinghan, the former magistrate of Zunyi, and passed through Maotai Town. He saw that Maotai was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with lush vegetation, which was really a treasure house for wine making. The local people told him that "if you take natural gas and the spirit of the underground, people will be clean, the pit will be old, the fire will be slow, and there will be nothing else."

After listening to Zhengzhen, I admired the wisdom of Maotai people and praised their superb brewing technology. Therefore, it is recorded in Zunyi Prefecture Records: "Maotai Village in the west of Renhuai City is the first in Guizhou Province. The material is pure sorghum and coarse grains are used twice. The method is to put the cooking materials and distiller's yeast into the cellar and bake them in the next month. Daqu is made of wheat and is called Baishui Daqu. Qianren is called Daqu liquor, and Maotai is burned. "
