【歷史】
Historical Origin
董酒的釀酒歷史十分悠久，《遵義府志》記載，這裡的釀酒歷史最早可追溯至魏晉時期。
及至清末，當地釀酒產業已經很繁榮，而其中最有名氣的就是程氏作坊，他們家的釀酒工藝傳承數代，所做的小曲酒非常有特色。
就在這個環境下，程家又誕生了一位釀酒奇才——程明坤。
程明坤雖然才24歲，但他把家族祖傳秘方和當地釀酒技藝進行結合，再加上自己對草藥的研究，用140種中草藥材入曲，研發出了『百草入曲、兩小兩大、雙醅串香』的工藝。
自此，中國白酒的一大流派——董香型誕生。
Dongjiu Liquor has a long history of brewing，with the Zunyi Prefectural Chronicle recording that the history of brewing here dates back as far as the Wei and Jin dynasties. By the end of the Qing Dynasty，the local brewing industry was already flourishing，and one of the most famous was the Cheng family’s workshop，whose brewing techniques had been passed down for generations and whose Xiaoqu wine was very distinctive. It was in this environment that the Cheng family gave birth to another brewing wizard，Cheng Mingkun. Although Cheng Mingkun was only 24 years old，he combined his family’s secret recipe with local brewing techniques，and with his own research into herbs，he used 140 types of Chinese herbs in the bent，and developed the process of “100 herbs in the bent，two small and two large，double spirits in a string”. This led to the birth of the Dong Xiang type，a major school of Chinese Baijiu.
抗日戰爭時期，來董公寺踐行實地的教授們認為董酒是”藥食同源””酒藥同源”真正釀酒起源的傳承者。
“董”字寓意”百草”，”董”字本身的文化內涵與董酒的文化內涵具有傳奇般的巧合。
隨即，教授們提議將此酒命名為”董酒”，希望董酒繼續秉承”藥食同源””酒藥同源”的人類釀酒真諦、傳承發揚”百草之酒”。
從此，董酒命名開來，蜚聲大江南北。
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression，professors who came to Dong Gong Temple to practise in the field considered Dongjiu Liquor to be the inheritor of the true origin of brewing “medicine and food from the same source” and “liquor and medicine from the same source”. The word “Dong” means “hundred herbs”，and the cultural connotation of the word “Dong” itself is a legendary coincidence with that of Dongjiu. The professors then proposed naming the liquor “Dongjiu” in the hope that Dong would continue to uphold the true meaning of human winemaking as “medicine and food come from the same source” and “wine and medicine come from the same source” and carry forward the “wine of a hundred herbs”. Since then，Dong Wine has been named “Dongjiu” and has become famous in China.
