  > large amounts of surplus crops provided plenty of raw material for the production of a broad variety of alcohol beverages. These activities generated an impressive collection of encyclopedic works about *jiu*, for example *Jiumingji* (Catalogue of names of alcoholic drinks) listing altogether 223 different kinds, with sometimes curious names and ingredients (like a drink called "White Lamb" fermented with lamb meat broth).
