The origin of Baijiu, China's national drink, can be traced back over 5,000 years, with its development during the Ming Dynasty marking a significant evolution in its production.
Baijiu is traditionally distilled from wheat or glutinous rice, although it can also be made from barley, corn or peas.

白酒，作为中国的国酒，其起源可以追溯到五千多年前，而在明朝时期的发展标志着其生产的重大演变。白酒通常是用小麦或糯米蒸馏而成，也可以用大麦、玉米或豆制作。
