Liubiju Sauce Garden Store is located in Beijing and is said to have been founded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The large gold plaque hanging in the Liubiju store is said to have been inscribed by Yan Song, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Liubiju was originally a small shop opened by brothers Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunyi and Zhao Cunli from Xidu Village, Linfen, Shanxi, specializing in firewood, rice, oil and salt. As the saying goes: seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. These seven items are essential for people's daily life. The Zhao brothers' small shop was named Liubiju because it did not sell tea.
Origin
Liubiju Sauce Garden began in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1530 AD) and has been in operation since 2014. With a history of 484 years, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious time-honored brands in Beijing. It has Beijing's famous Liubiju with a history of 470 years and is considered the most time-honored brand, Guixinzhai with a history of more than 270 years, Tianyuan with a history of more than 130 years and other time-honored brands. Liubiju Sauce Garden is located at No. 3 Liangdian Street, Qianmen. The house on the front is an ancient Chinese wooden structure. It was renovated in 1994 and still maintains the antique architectural style.
The large golden plaque with "Liubiju" hanging in the Liubiju store was written by Yan Song, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. Although this plaque suffered several disasters, it is still well preserved and has become a rare treasure. The meaning of Liubiju is: the millet and rice must be in good condition, the tillers must be strong, the fine pottery must be clean, the pottery must be good, the fire must be good, and the water spring must be fragrant. The six musts can be explained in terms of production and operation technology: the materials must be of high quality, the cutting materials must be truthful, the production process must be clean, the heat must be controlled appropriately, the equipment must be excellent, and the spring water must be pure and fragrant.
