For most Chinese people, Shaoxing is synonymous with yellow rice wine locals have been producing since the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).

With an industry record 5 billion tons produced in a year, yellow wine is hardly a baby in the national alcohol cabinet, however, its status in China's drinking culture is meek compared to the stronger, clearer colored spirit whose presence at dinner tables and celebratory occasions is as ubiquitous as an exclamation of ganbei.

With a history of thousands of years, Shaoxing is renowned for its profound culture, including the marriage customs displayed in the video. 

对大多数中国人而言，绍兴就是黄酒的代名词。当地人酿造黄酒的历史可追溯至春秋时代。

在全国的酒文化中，绍兴黄酒相对柔和，具有诱人的馥郁芳香，往往随着时间的久远而更为浓烈。

与绍兴酒相同的，绍兴的历史文化也是绵长深厚。
