Primary Evidence
"Additionally, during the distillery era, Moutai emphasized using clear spring water in packaging. In general knowledge, spring water is certainly better than river water. In Ouyang Xiu’s “The Pavilion of the Inebriated Old Man,” there is the famous line, “Where the stream is deep, the fish is fat. Wine brewed from springs, springs fragrant and wine clear.” However, later Moutai masters found that spring water is “heavy water,” while the water from the Chishui River is “light water,” so light water is better for brewing Moutai. Therefore, the current Moutai is brewed with river water."
