Du Kang (about10th century BC) was born in Kangjiawei, Baishui County (now Du Kang Town). There is no test of life and death. According to legend, he was the inventor of brewing in Zhou Dynasty. Known as the wine ancestor.

Brewing is a great creation of China's national food culture. As the originator of wine, Du Kang opened the source of Chinese wine culture with a long history. He uses distillation to make wine. The process is roughly as follows: first, the grain crops are ground, then fermented to make distiller's grains, and then the distiller's grains containing alcohol are dissolved in water and heated to boil to make distilled water containing alcohol, that is, wine. The first-brewed wine has a rough taste. It is aged in the wine cellar for three years and then purified after being taken out. Wine has the effect of "promoting blood circulation and qi circulation, strengthening the spirit and keeping out the cold", so it is favored to treat diseases and preserve health. People drink when they are bored, and their bodies get hot, so they can temporarily forget to think. Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei Dynasty, wrote a poem "How to solve the worries, only Du Kang" in "Short Songs".

Du Kang was buried in a ditch in Kangjiawei after his death. People call it Du Kang ditch. Du Kang's tomb is in a small ditch on the east side of the ditch, and there is a statue of Du Kang in the cave near the cliff outside the ditch. At the temple fair, people burn incense and worship God. Later, it was destroyed, the ruins were abandoned, and Dukang wine was lost for a long time. Since Japanese tanaka kakuei visited China and invited Premier Zhou Enlai to drink Dukang wine, the old brewing technology in Zhang Chong, Baishui County has resumed the production of Dukang wine. Today's Du Kang ditch has taken on a new look. Dukangquan spring is clear, and there is a beautiful spring pavilion at the mouth of the river, with blue brick walls surrounding Du Kang's tomb. The newly-built Du Kang Temple is magnificent. When people come here, they can't help admiring this ancient ancestor of Chinese brewing.
