Shihua Divine Liquor

by HUBEI SHIHUA LIQUOR CO.,LTD

Project Description


Shihua divine liquor is a representative of the Shihua divine range. Its package design not only continues the concept of "Tiangong" (Paradise) in Taoism but also captures the essence of traditional Chinese culture, showing reverence for the law of everything and carrying on the traditional brewing technique. The minimalist, fresh, natural oriental aesthetic style shows exceptional innovation and distinctiveness. The bottle design follows the law of everything and revolves around the Taoist human image. It adopts a tripartite curved structure that resembles the ripples of flowing wine, showcasing the Taoist concept of "Out of Tao, One is born; Out of One, Two; Out of Two, Three; Out of Three, the created universe.“ and highlighting the cultural deposits and historical inheritance of this range of products.
Unlike traditional wine bottle design that neglects holding comfort, Shihua divine liquor features a tripartite curved structure that makes it easier to hold when pouring wine. Users can feel the craftsmanship of the Shihua divine liquor as they savor it. Shihua divine liquor adopts a traditional Chinese color scheme – azure, which is fresh and elegant and in line with the Taoist aesthetic concept of “Tao models itself after nature “. Together with the use of ceramic material and the tripartite curved structure, the bottle’s silhouette resembles the ripples of flowing wine while revealing the light, clear color and authentic aromatic flavor of Shihua divine liquor.
The cap is rounded on the inside and square on the outside, reflecting the moral of "Round heaven and square earth, on a roll". This also adds practicality and aesthetics. The hardcore outer box is adorned with golden threads, giving the Shihua divine liquor cultural value and connotation at banquets. The disposable anti-counterfeiting press button design ensures product quality and allows users to open the box effortlessly.
