Cai Yuanpei, the well-known modern educator, was born and brought up in Shaoxing, and has a strong preference for Shaoxing Yellow Rice Wine.

According to the recalling of his friends, although he worked in other places far away for decades, he always adhered to the habits and hobbies developed in his home town from a young age. He liked Shaoxing yellow Rice Wine and drank it at each meal. Each year, he asked friends and relatives to buy him a few jars of wine from Shaoxing, which he kept at home for drinking or treating his friends. In addition to Shaoxing specialties, such as dried vegetables and fermented bean-curd paste. On festivals, he also asked his friends and relatives to post such supplies for the Spring Festival as stewed duck in soy sauce, chicken pickled in fermented yellow rice wine sauce and dried fish. Even the wine pot he usually used was a tin pot from Shaoxing. The pot had a round interior and square exterior, and an interlayer in the middle which could be filled with hot water to warm the wine.
