On December 17th, the 29th Traditional Ancestor Worship Ceremony of Wuliangye was held at the foot of the Wuliangye Wine Sage Mountain in Yibin, known as the "Capital of Chinese Liquor".

The worship ceremony is a ritual practice that has been a part of Chinese culture for thousands of years. It embodies reverence for nature and respect for the wisdom of ancestors. Wuliangye has organically integrated this ancient ritual with its liquor-making tradition. Over its 29 editions, the ceremony has evolved from a mere corporate event to a cultural IP for the Chinese liquor industry, one that honors and promotes China's fine traditional culture.

The ceremony is not just about showcasing culture but also about passing down the spirit and skills of liquor-making. At the event, Zhao Dong, representative inheritor of the 26th generation of Wuliangye liquor-making and a national-level representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, led representatives of the 28th generation in chanting the Wuliangye Nine Precepts.

Then followed the reading of the memorial address and the liquor-pouring ritual to conclude the ceremony. This series of solemn rituals epitomizes the Chinese philosophy of ‘harmony between man and nature’ in liquor-making. Wuliangye's Traditional Ancestor Worship Ceremony expresses gratitude for nature's generosity, respects the principles of liquor-making, and honors the wisdom of liquor-making masters of generations.

Notably, the event this year introduced a ‘representative square of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage’. It was a tribute to the artisans and a way to make their craftsman spirit – the pursuit of perfection – tangible and share it with every witness.

The grand ceremony is not just about the rituals, but also about a living tradition. Wuliangye has integrated the skills and spirit of its ancient liquor-making methods into the hands of every generation of its artisans and into every act of worship. It allows the rich liquor culture to be truly felt and experienced even today.
