During the Song Dynasty, Jiangxi entered its heyday, and the dynasty was full of civil servants and military officers. In Jinxian County in northern Ganxi, there was a town named Lidu, which was famous for its exquisite brewing skills since ancient times and enjoyed the reputation of "Jiangnan Wine Town". Song Qingli two years (A.D. 1042), 52-year-old Jiangxi Linchuan Yanshu official chancellor, his home is just a stone's throw away from Lidu, whenever he went home to visit his family, he always collect the boat Lidu, drink a few glasses.

Since then, a piece of "Wang Anshi smell the fragrance and dismount, Yan Tong Shu know the taste and close the boat" of a thousand-year-old story will be printed in the thousand-year history of Li Du wine.
Since ancient times, Lidu has been a major merchant town and the granary of Jiangxi, and history shows that during the Taiping Xingguo period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Deng Jinlin and Lou Baoqing came to Lidu to set up the first wine workshop in front of the store and after the workshop. In the Yuan Dynasty, some wine workshops appeared in the towns around Lidu one after another. In the Ming Dynasty, there were Jianchang and Dongxiang merchants Mei Huanxun and Huang Dechang joined hands to open a hotel in Lidu. In the early Qing Dynasty, the number of wine workshops increased to 28. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the 27th grandson of Deng Jinlin made a breakthrough from small brewing to large brewing. In the thirty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1948), the factories in Lidu produced a total of 30.8 tons of shochu. Li Du Soju has a bright color, mellow quality, fragrant fragrance, mellow mouth, and high medicinal value, which makes it the best wine.
