an overview of the four famous vinegars in China

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it was listed as the "four famous vinegars" in the Qing Dynasty, along with Shanxi mature vinegar, Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar, Fujian red rice vinegar and Baoning vinegar. ? Vinegar

1: Shanxi Mature Vinegar: Mature Vinegar is produced in Qingxu County, ranking first among the four famous vinegars in China. The color of mature vinegar is black and purple, with a long aftertaste of "cotton, sour, sweet and mellow". ? 2. Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar is one of the four famous vinegars with the characteristics of "sour but not astringent, fragrant but slightly sweet, strong color and fresh taste, and the more mellow it is". ? 3. "Baoning Vinegar" has a history of nearly 4 years, and it is one of the four famous vinegars in China. However, among the four famous vinegars in China, the production scale and economic benefits of "Baoning Vinegar" are far behind. ? 4. Quanzhou Yongchun vinegar is derived from the famous Fujian red rice vinegar in history. Shanxi aged vinegar

Shanxi people are good at brewing vinegar and are jealous, so they are known as "old wives". In ancient times, vinegar was called acyl, the person who brewed vinegar was called "acyl" and the vinegar was called "old acyl". There is a saying that "turnip is salted with soy sauce" in Jijiupian written by Shi You in Han Dynasty, in which "acyl" and "vinegar" both refer to vinegar. Therefore, jealousy is not called jealousy, but "eating acyl". Because of Shanxi people's special contribution to vinegar brewing technology, coupled with Shanxi people's love for vinegar, and coincidentally, "acyl" and Shanxi's "west" are homonyms, so mainlanders respect Shanxi people as "Shanxi old acyl". Shanxi people and vinegar have deep feelings. The history of vinegar in Shanxi is about 4, years, so there is another saying in Shanxi: men are not jealous, their feelings are not rich, women are not jealous, their families are not harmonious, children are not jealous, their studies are not progressing, and the elderly are not jealous. ? Qingxu is the authentic birthplace of Shanxi mature vinegar and the birthplace of Chinese vinegar, and its vinegar-making history has been more than 4, years. According to legend, after Emperor Yao made his capital Yao (now Yaocheng Village, Qingxu County), he picked Ruicao "_ pod" to brew bitter wine. The bitter wine mentioned here is the earliest acidic condiment-vinegar. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the acyl workshops in Jinyang area of Binzhou became increasingly prosperous. From the folk to the government, making acyl became a major hobby in people's lives. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanxi's vinegar-making skills became more and more exquisite, and with the migration of Shanxi people and the footprint of Shanxi merchants, Shanxi's vinegar-making technology and customs were brought to the inside and outside of the Great Wall and the north and south of the great river, which is an important media that Shanxi is famous all over the world. ? Over the years, the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. Shanxi mature vinegar has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and its taste is stronger and its name is more prosperous. Today, Shanxi Shuita Mature Vinegar Co., Ltd. has become a leader in Shanxi vinegar industry, and the group has developed into the largest production base of high-quality series vinegar in China, with the trademark of "Shuita", the first brand in China vinegar industry, and "China Vinegar Capital".

According to legend, in the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yu, an official from Wujin County, Jiangsu Province, came to Taiyuan with his family members at the age of three thousand, and was soon ordered to collect public grain in Yangfangkou (now Yangfang Village). When Yang Yu came to Yangfangkou, he saw that the Fenxiao River and the Yangfangkou River were not in harmony, and the Yangfangkou was caught in it, which made him feel like "two dragons playing with pearls", so he decided: "This is Baofangkou. Then he moved his family to Yangfangkou to settle down, and let his son Yang Shu set up a vinegar workshop for the Jin Palace to eat. Because Yang Shu was well-run and protected by the government, the vinegar workshop was prosperous in less than a few years, and the financial resources were rolling in. Since then, Yangfang Village has been known as the "treasure house for brewing vinegar". ? By the Qing Dynasty, dozens of well-known vinegar workshops had appeared in Yangfang village, and the Longwangmiao well was also famous for the legend of "white snake drinking water". According to legend, during the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, one morning, the chicken crowed at the first time, and the boy of the "Shuntai" vinegar workshop went to the well of Longwangmiao to fetch water. He saw a white snake, which was several feet long and as thick as a bucket, with its tail wrapped around a drum tower column and its head stuck in the well, and was busy drinking water. The boy was frightened and fled, and told the shopkeeper, who said with great joy, "The white snake is the dragon god, and it's not far to get rich if you drink a well of water with me." So, the shopkeeper personally steamed five "lotus big offerings" and went to the Longwang Temple to worship. Later, the "Shuntai" really made a fortune. Since then, it has spread more and more, and the well water in Longwangmiao has become famous, and the vinegar workshop has also flourished. In the third year of the Republic of China, the well of Longwangmiao dried up, and the vinegar well was moved to the north again, and the location was chosen in Wujiawei (the location of the water tower over-mature vinegar company). After the water comes out of the well, the water quality is excellent and the vinegar is excellent. Therefore, large and small vinegar shops were opened one after another, and the vinegar industry in Qingxu began to flourish.
