"After the 20th century, Chinese baijiu was divided into two major schools, namely the Fen-type baijiu from Xinghua Village in Shanxi and the Luzhou-type baijiu from Luzhou in Sichuan. Moutai stands out as the baijiu that uses the most grain and has the longest brewing time, annually commanding the highest price, gaining fame during the Republic of China for winning awards at the Panama Pacific International Exposition. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Moutai was listed as one of the four “national famous wines” at the first national wine competition held in 1952, establishing its exceptional status. In terms of baijiu schools, Moutai should belong to the Sichuan-Guizhou branch."
