Benefiting from the suitability of its geographical and climatic conditions,from the convenience of its transportation by both land and water,as well as from the abundance of its resources from the South and the North,Yi Bin is renowned for its production of the famous Five-Grain Liquor,whose thick and lasting aroma dates back to a tradition of 600 years.The ＂Five＂ in the name of wine Five-Grain Liquor is significant and suggestive in a number of ways： the adoration of the number of five in Sichuan＇s tradition,the concept of ＂five elements＂ that constitute the universe,and the idea of ＂five orientations＂ in traditional Chinese medicine.Owing to the subtle connotations of the number of five,and the fact that it is produced with the crystal and transparent holy water coming from the summit of the Kunlun Mountains and snow-capped plateau,the wine acquires its profoundly suggestive name of Five-Grain liquor.
