Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar is a typical rice vinegar with glutinous rice as raw material. The usage of rice vinegar was recorded in Tao Hongjing's Notes on Materia Medica in the Liang Dynasty. Tao Hongjing, who lived in seclusion in Huayang, was from Liling, Liang Danyang (now Nanjing) in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Liang Wudi, who lives in seclusion in Qushan (today's Maoshan), wants to be hired as a disobedient, but he is willing to serve as a court consultant. The ancients called him "Prime Minister in the Mountain". Accordingly, Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar has a history of 1400 years, but at that time, rice vinegar (Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar) only appeared in a self-sufficient family small-scale production mode.

1840, Zhu zhaohuai, a native of Dantu, Jiangsu province, founded "Zhu Hengshun Bad Workshop" and brewed "Hundred Flowers Wine" with glutinous rice, which was adopted by local officials in Qing Dynasty as a tribute to the palace. At that time, there was a folk song praising: "A hundred flowers are fragrant and proud, a thousand people raise their glasses, the wine smells like flowers, and the color is like spring in the cave", and the wine industry flourished. 1850, Zhu Shiyi's brand was "Zhu Hengshun Fang Lin", which was the first vinegar factory in Zhenjiang and the real origin of Zhenjiang vinegar today. 1909, Hengshun Vinegar participated in the appraisal of Nanyang Ye Quan Association and won the first gold medal. During the period of the Republic of China, it won many awards in Jiangsu Property Exhibition, beijing-shanghai railway Appraisal Meeting and West Lake Expo, and Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar became more and more famous. 1928, Hengshun takes the location of Jinshan Temple, a famous scenic spot at home and abroad, as the product trademark pattern, which is exclusively registered.
