In the mid-19th century (the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty), Chen Shouxin, a descendant of the Chen family, also known as Yiqian (also known as Xinqian), discovered that salted peppers tend to produce water and are not suitable for cooking. To preserve it, I spent several years on the basis of my ancestors. I first added peas and salted peppers to absorb water, but the effect was not good. Then I changed it to bean paste, but it was still not good. I also learned from the fermentation method of fermented bean curd and added gray flour and bean paste to ferment together. , its taste is extremely spicy, and Pixian Douban was born.

When he opened his family, he took the word "Yi" at the beginning of his name. The year coincided with the year of Xianfeng, so he took "Feng" as the time mark, and also took the "harmony" of heaven, earth and people, so he named it " Yifenghe" soy sauce garden. Chen Shouxin and his "Yifenghe" Sauce Garden are also regarded as the authentic originators of "Pixian Douban".
