Since the Song Dynasty, the political, cultural and economic centers have moved south, and the production of yellow rice wine is limited to several southern provinces. The production of shochu began in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it became popular in the North in the Yuan Dynasty. The output of yellow rice wine in the north is gradually shrinking, and drinking soju in the south is not as common as that in the north. In the south, the production of yellow rice wine was preserved. During the Qing Dynasty, Shaoxing yellow rice wine in the south dominated both at home and abroad.
