As the seasons change and new chapters unfold, the Chinese New Year becomes more vibrant and festive. As the New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere intensifies. For the Chinese, a cup of warm Shaoxing Yellow Wine is always an indispensable part of the celebration. The amber-colored liquid embodies the warmth of reunion, the rich aroma of time, and the essence of the Chinese New Year. Drinking old wine is one thing, but drinking good wine, especially wine with "technique", is another! As the leader of Chinese yellow wine, Gudai Longshan has always cherished this traditional flavor with meticulous craftsmanship. With the power of technology, every drop of wine becomes purer, more mellow, and more reassuring. When you raise your glass during the New Year, you can drink with peace of mind and enjoy a delightful taste.
By the end of 2025, the "Innovative Application of Key Technologies and Intelligent Equipment Systems for the New Quality Production of Traditional Fermented Foods" project, jointly carried out by Gu Yue Longshan and Jiangnan University, won the Second Prize of the Excellent Scientific Research Achievement Award (Engineering Technology) from the Ministry of Education. The Excellent Scientific Research Achievement Award of the Ministry of Education is a highly prestigious scientific and technological award in the field of university scientific innovation in China. This year-end "year-end bonus" is the highest recognition of Gu Yue Longshan's technological empowerment. As the Spring Festival approaches, let's take a look at how Gu Yue Longshan won this technological award together!
Behind this national-level honor lies the collaborative research and development efforts between Gu Yue Longshan and Jiangnan University over a period of more than ten years. The project focused on the "knockout" problems faced by the traditional brewing industry for a long time, such as the lack of germplasm resources, low quality rate, and poor digitalization level. It achieved systematic and original breakthroughs in aspects such as the analysis of brewing microecology, the selection of functional strains, and the creation of intelligent equipment systems.
Nowadays, these research achievements have been fully applied in the production practice of Gu Yue Longshan, enabling the enterprise to build the world's largest single-unit intelligent brewing factory for yellow wine and the National Yellow Wine Engineering Technology Research Center, among other national-level platforms. A complete technical loop from raw material traceability, targeted microbial regulation to full-process intelligent decision-making has been achieved. The enterprise's labor productivity and product quality have significantly improved, and its technological strength and industry leadership capabilities have ranked among the top internationally.
A series of data have demonstrated the core strength of the enterprise: it has a "422" research platform system led by the National Yellow Wine Engineering Technology Research Center; it has a total of 30 valid invention patents and 3 software copyrights; it has won 62 provincial and ministerial-level or higher science and technology awards; it has undertaken 40 municipal or higher-level science and technology projects; and its research funds increased by 118.99% during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period... It is precisely this dedication to research that has enabled the thousand-year-old yellow wine to burst with vitality in the new era.
The ultimate goal of scientific research is to enable consumers to enjoy better wines. Guyuelongshan adheres to the principle of leveraging technology to drive both the market and production, converting the research outcomes in the laboratory into a delightful experience on the palate.
In response to the consumption pain point of "difficulty in getting drunk" for yellow wine, Gu Yue Longshan successfully overcame this problem through technological innovation, making drinking more comfortable. At the same time, the enterprise boldly innovated and pioneered "millet whisky", developing a series of new products such as "high-alcohol yellow wine", "coffee yellow wine", and "low-high yellow wine", leading the industry towards higher-end and younger development. A number of technical achievements such as "In-situ Selection and Application of Yeast for Gu Yue Longshan No.1 Yellow Wine" and "Research on Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis Technology of Small Molecules Peptides in Gu Yaotai 'Only This Jade' Yellow Wine" have been applied to production, injecting technological connotations into the products.
At the production end, Gu Yue Longshan is striving to build a new highland for digital and low-carbon intelligent brewing of yellow wine. The Yellow Wine Industrial Park project integrates advanced intelligent and Internet of Things control technologies deeply into the production process, applies a number of industry-first key technologies, and realizes intelligent brewing, digital blending, unmanned logistics, and green production. This has completed the entire process of digital transformation of Shaoxing yellow wine from "a single grain of rice" to "a bottle of wine". The Gu Yue Longshan Yellow Wine Intelligent Factory has been successfully selected as a pilot enterprise for future factories in Zhejiang Province in 2025.
From the selection of a single grain of rice to the creation of a drop of wine, from the "memory in the palm of the hand" of the master craftsmen to the precise control of the digital factory, Gu Yue Longshan is using technological innovation as an engine to drive the historical classic industry of yellow wine to innovate in its inheritance and develop in its innovation. As the Spring Festival approaches, why not open a bottle of Gu Yue Longshan and savor this technology and craftsmanship from the ancient city of thousands of years? Enjoy a flavorful Chinese New Year.
