A SYMPOSIUM on a type of liquor made 2,000 years ago was held last Saturday in Xian, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, when the focus was on a 26kg container of ancient liquor.
The container was found in a tomb from the West Han Dynasty (206BC-24AD) in Xian, and made a great stir in Chinese archaeological and wine-making industrial circles when it was unearthed last month.
