1. The history of making vinegar in the West is about 3,000 years old. Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty summarized the 22 vinegar-making methods in his famous book "Essentials for Qi Min". Some people have verified that they are the brewing methods of Shanxi people. Among them, the "rice vinegar making method" is the brewing method of "Shanxi mature vinegar". In the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, a "vinegar fairy" named Wang Laifu came out of Jiexiu. He opened a "Meiheju" vinegar workshop in Chengguan, Xu, Qing Dynasty. He also added the smoked vinegar process to the white vinegar, boldly Reform and innovation, "fishing for ice in winter and drying in summer" finally created the famous brand of Shanxi "Old Mature Vinegar", making the old mature vinegar the first among the four famous vinegars in China.

2. Shanxi people are good at making wine and love jealousy, so they are known as "Lao Xi'er". In ancient times, vinegar was called fermented wine, the person who made vinegar was called "醯人", and the fermented wine brewed with vinegar was called "老醯". Therefore, being jealous is not called jealousy, but "eating sugar". Due to the special contribution of Shanxi people to vinegar making, coupled with the fact that Shanxi people are addicted to vinegar, and the coincidence that "醯" has the same pronunciation as the word "西" in Shanxi, people from other provinces respectfully call Shanxi people "Shanxi Lao Xi". "Old Xi'er"'s contribution to vinegar should really be praised, because vinegar has so many functions. In addition to containing a large amount of acetic acid, vinegar also contains calcium, iron, lactic acid, glycerin, amino acids and aldehyde compounds.

In medical terms, vinegar is used as medicine for hair growth and beauty. It has the effect of lowering blood pressure and losing weight.
