According to the "Suo Family Genealogy" and the business contract records: Suoyi was born in Mingwei, and was originally from Huaihua County, Hunan. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were frequent wars and military disasters for many years, so Suonai moved to Yueyang to work as a farmer. Later, he went from Yueyang to Hankou, and then went north to Taiyuan, where he helped a Jizhou man learn to make vinegar. Later, due to the war in Shanxi, he had to move again, passing through Shaanxi and Gansu to Langzhong, Sichuan. In order to make a living, he bought a thatched cottage in Guojilou Street (now North Street) in Langzhong City and opened a vinegar shop. Suo learned the skill of brewing vinegar and made good use of 32 Chinese herbal medicines such as baiji, Amomum villosum, Eucommia ulmoides, Angelica sinensis, mint, and Schisandra chinensis (30 more will be added in the future) to prepare vinegar koji. His vinegar is particularly good and his business is booming. Around 1765 (the 30th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty), Suo Shaowu, the grandson of Suoyiting, had a prosperous vinegar industry. He bought the Xie brothers (Xie Mei, Xie Qian, Xie Min, and Xie Rui) and put them on the street at Xiazhakou outside the south gate of the city ( Today's Jiufang Street) has 3 shops, 1 in the inner building, 2 in the back building and 3 shops in the opposite door. The price of the land including the land is 380 taels, which is used as housing and vinegar making workshop. By 1866 (the fifth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), Suo Shaowu's grandsons Suo Dazhang, Suo Daxun and their nephews sold three stores to Suo Dasen to run the vinegar industry. During the Qing Dynasty, Soxhlet vinegar was extremely famous, but the vinegar factory had no brand name for a long time. It wasn't until Suo Shaowu opened a vinegar shop in the south of the city that he erected a signboard of "Suo Yongshun Vinegar Shop" with stone chun. After 1912 (the first year of the Republic of China), the vinegar industry in Xiazhakou Street developed, and Xiazhakou Shangjie was renamed "Jinefang Street". The signature site of Suojia Vinegar Shop can still be identified.
