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, tea." These seven things are indispensable for people's daily life. The Zhao brothers' small shop was named Liubiju because it did not sell tea.
