The Han Dynasty Tiliang irrigation, tiliang pot and other wine utensils unearthed from Maotai archaeological excavation show that more than 2,000 years ago, the residents here have skillfully mastered the fermentation and wine making technology. During the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, there were no less than 20 Maotai workshops, especially in the Wanli Dynasty, the unique "sand back process" (an important wine making process of Maotai liquor) appeared. Wine-making workshops were also built one after another in the Yangliuwan area of the wind on the edge of the Chishui River, which was recorded in the earliest surviving Ming Dynasty in Moutai.

There is no clear research on when the regular workshops began in Maotai town. According to the topographic map of the family address drawn on the flyleaf page of the Wu Family Tree of the Ming Dynasty, the earliest existing Maotai town, there are brewing workshops. According to the family tree, Wu settled in Moutai in the 27th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1599) after Li Hualong put down the unrest, which shows that Moutai had a regular workshop for brewing wine as early as 1599. The unique sand recovery process of Moutai wine was basically formed at this time.
