Chinese Baijiu Culture (English-Chinese Dictionary): The World’s First Bilingual Dictionary of Baijiu, 20,000 Entries

From Brewing Grains and Starter Culture to Tasting Standards, Drinking Rituals and Baijiu Lore — 20,000 Terms in Chinese and English, Organized by Topic, with Bilingual Definitions Throughout
This is not a phrasebook for ordering a drink, and it is not a casual introduction to Chinese liquor. It is a professional reference work—the first of its kind—that treats baijiu as both a technical process and a cultural system. You look up a term and get its Chinese name, its English name, and a bilingual explanation: what it is, how it fits into the brewing process or the drinking ritual, and why it matters. The dictionary settles a long-standing problem along the way: “白酒” is officially rendered as baijiu in English, not as “Chinese spirits” or any other workaround. If you work with baijiu in trade, translation, research, or serious appreciation—and need a reliable standard rather than guesswork—this is it.

Detail

Did you know? Chinese baijiu has its own English name — “baijiu.”

Japanese sake. Russian vodka. French cognac. And now — Chinese baijiu.

For decades, the world’s most consumed spirit had no standard English identity. Translators struggled. Exporters improvised. Cultural exchanges lost something in every translation. This dictionary changed that.

If your work or passion involves Chinese spirits, you already know the frustration: reliable English-language resources on baijiu are almost nonexistent. Trying to explain “sauce-aroma baijiu” to an international client? Searching for the right English term for a traditional fermentation process? You won’t find it in a general dictionary — because it doesn’t exist there.

What this dictionary does for you

A professional reference you can trust. With approximately 20,000 entries, the dictionary is organized into two major categories: Baijiu Technology and Baijiu Culture. The Technology section covers six subcategories — baijiu categories, brewing materials, starter (qu) production, brewing processes, blend design, and quality standards. The Culture section covers four — drinking etiquette and customs, names and vessels, people and stories, and literary arts. From sorghum to cellar pits, from fermentation to blending — no stone is left unturned.

Bilingual definitions, not just translations. Every entry includes both Chinese and English explanations, using descriptive and explanatory methods to help you truly understand each concept. This matters especially for translators, trade professionals, and cross-border sellers — you need to get the term right and explain it clearly.

Published by The Commercial Press — China’s gold standard in dictionary publishing. Founded in 1897, The Commercial Press is the most respected name in Chinese reference publishing. Editor-in-Chief Professor Yun Hong led a team from Sichuan University of Science & Engineering’s China Baijiu College to compile this landmark work. Song Shuyu, Chairman of the China Alcoholic Drinks Association, endorsed it personally, saying the dictionary “brings China’s history and culture, the magical process of baijiu brewing, and the characteristics of baijiu to people in every country and region.”

Who is this for?

  • Translators and language professionals — your authoritative reference for Chinese wine culture content.

  • Spirits trade and export professionals — present your products to international clients with standardized, professional terminology.

  • Spirits enthusiasts and sommeliers — understand Chinese baijiu from both a technical and cultural perspective.

  • Industry practitioners — a reliable reference for international standards work and cross-border communication.
