Winemaking experts have also conducted tests on Dukang Spring water and believe that the water quality is suitable for winemaking. In 1976, Du Kang, a native of Baishui County, established a modern winery near Du Kang Spring, named it "Dukang Winery". He used the water from the spring to make wine. The product was named "Dukang Wine" and won the bronze medal in the National Liquor Competition of the Ministry of Light Work. cup award. Coincidentally, there are also records about the Dukang ruins in the "Yiyang County Chronicle" revised in the 18th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty and the "Ruzhou Complete Chronicles" revised in the 20th year of Daoguang's reign. In the "Water" section of "Yiyang County Chronicle", there is the term "Dushui River", which explains: "It is said that Du Kang made wine here." "Ruzhou Quanzhi" says: "Dukangba" is located "50 miles north of the city". Today, there is a small village called "Dukang Fairy Village" here, and people say this is Dukangba. The original meaning of "ba" refers to the sound of cracking stones, and the soil in the Dukang Xianzhuang area is formed by the weathering of rocks. Many clear springs gush out from the gaps in the ground and merge into a small river flowing through the nearby village. People say that this section of the river is the Dushui River. What is interesting is that in this section of the river near the village, there is a kind of small shrimp about one centimeter long. It is yellow all over and curls up, which is rare elsewhere. In addition, the eggs laid by ducks growing on this stretch of river have reddish yolks, which are much darker than those elsewhere. Because the villagers here drank the water from this section of the river, no one suffered from stomach problems. In Yichuan County, more than ten kilometers north of Dukang Xianzhuang, there is a spring named "Shanghuang Ancient Spring", which is said to be the spring where Dukang drew water. Today, large-scale Dukang wineries have been established in Yichuan County and Ruyang County respectively, and their products are called Dukang wine. Yichuan's products, Ruyang's products, and Baishui's products combined have an annual output of more than 10,000 tons, which is probably something Du Kang could not have imagined back then.
Jiuquan, the spring water for brewing Dukang wine, is located in Jiuquan Valley in Dukang Village. The spring water is clear and clear, with a sweet taste and pure texture. Every summer, you can smell the natural fragrance of wine spring. Dukang Liquor is a strong-flavor type. It is made from high-quality wheat, mixed with medium and high temperatures, and selected glutinous sorghum as the raw material for brewing. Advanced technologies such as graded storage, aging and esterification, and careful blending. Since 1987, Luoyang has held the "China Dukang Wine Festival" every year. ?
Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Shuowen Jiezi": "Dukang made rice wine." "Full Records of Ruzhou, Zhili" during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty records: "Dukang (Shiba) is the current Dukang Village. The village is surrounded by three mountains and has a stream flowing beside it. The water in the Dukang River in the south of the village is gurgling and crystal clear. Among them, Jiuquan Valley In one section, hundreds of springs are gushing, clear and clear, with lush trees on the banks and a pleasant scenery.
The elders often say that there are three wonders on the Dukang River: the river fog is as low as the bank, the duck egg yolk is as red as blood, and there are two shrimps. It is said that these three wonders on the Dukang River were the result of the Queen Mother banishing the golden boy and beautiful girl to the Dukang River.
There is the Dukang Temple next to Jiuquan Valley, which was built during the Jianwu period of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. In recent years, Ruyang County Winery has invested more than 3 million yuan in the restoration and reconstruction of Dukang Temple, Xiangchuan Garden, Dukang Cemetery, Dukang Restaurant, Jiuquan Pavilion, Erxian Bridge, Hulu Lake, Zhien Pavilion, Gu Nianzhai, and Qixian. There are more than 20 scenic spots such as the ruins, Wei Wuju, and the Temple of the Eight Immortals in Drinking, and the Chinese Wine Museum has been established, making Dukang Xianzhuang shine and become my country's first wine culture tourism destination.
