Yellow rice wine is a special product of Fang County with a history of 1000 years. As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was famous as a tribute in Beijing. Fang County rice wine originated in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, "Baimao" is the earliest appellation of Fang County yellow rice wine, and later, "yellow rice wine", "imperial wine", and "white horse urine". In the first year of Sisheng (684), Li Xian, the son of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted by his mother Wu Zetian to Fangling (the old name of Fangxian County) as the King of Luling. He liked to drink this kind of wine most and was called the "wine tasting master". He once wrote a poem, "This wine should only be available in the sky, and there is no quantity in the Jade Pool. One day, the dragon will drive back to Chang'an and send me 30000 dendrobium every year." Later, King Luling presented it to Wu Zetian as a tribute. Therefore, Fangxian Yellow Rice Wine is also called "Imperial Wine", which has since become a royal flavor. In 18 dynasties from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were 23 imperial figures who got involved with Fang County rice wine, which is a great wonder of wine culture in China and even the world.

On April 9, 2014, the former AQSIQ approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for "Fangxian Yellow Rice Wine".
