Kweichow Moutai 1978-1982 Kuíhuā
In 1968 the Revolutionary Committee of Kweichow Moutai Distillery announced the replacement of the Feitian export label by a new logo depicting a sunflower (Kuíhuā). A total of 4 different designs of the sunflower were drawn, one of them depicting of a big-leaf sunflower, designed by the Guiyang City Arts and Crafts Research Institute. Initially the big-leaf sunflower was chosen and some labels were printed but almost instantly rejected and replaced by the final choice which became known as the small-leaf sunflower. The sunflower brand was registered March 30, 1968.
On April 29th 1973 the distillery was ordered to cancel the sunflower labels by replacing them by Feitian labels, thereby restoring the situation as it used to be before 1968. Eventually it took until 1976 before the situation was completely restored. According to old files the sunflower brand was used once more between 1978 and 1982, the bottles from that period are called "half catty" which are essentially 270ml bottles. Notable feature is that these were released without ribbon.
