Sorghum is one of the earliest crops planted by Gaomi people, with a planting history of more than 5000 years. Because sorghum has many advantages, such as drought resistance, waterlogging resistance, saline alkali resistance, barren resistance, high temperature resistance, cold resistance and so on, and can obtain stable and high yield, it has always been the main grain of Gaomi people and the main raw material for wine making. With the development of society, this characteristic of "Red Sorghum" has been sublimated into a symbol of high density, forming a unique "Red Sorghum" culture.
Origin of "Gaomi":
According to the biography of Le Yi in the historical records, "the family of Le family includes the Duke of Le flaw and the Duke of Le minister. Zhao Qi was destroyed by Qin and died in Gaomi", which is the first Gaomi in historical records. Notes to Shuijing · Weishui: Weishui "goes to the west of Gaomi County in the north. Ying Shao said: there is dense water in the county, so it has the name of Gaomi. However, the so-called hundred feet of water in this world covers dense water." this is an earlier explanation of Gaomi.
