First, the basic information of vinegar
Vinegar is a traditional condiment in major cuisines in China. According to the existing written records, the working people of the ancient Han nationality used Qu as a starter to ferment vinegar. Oriental vinegar originated in China. According to the literature, the history of brewing vinegar is at least 3000 years. "Vinegar" was called "vinegar", "acyl" and "bitter wine" in ancient China. "Unitary" is the earliest word "wine" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. At the same time, calling "vinegar" bitter wine also shows that "vinegar" originated from "wine".
The famous vinegars in China are Guangling Debenbao Vinegar, Qishan Vinegar, Shanxi Mature Vinegar, Baoning Vinegar, Zhenjiang Vinegar, Tianjin Liu Du Vinegar, Fujian Yongchun Vinegar, Henan Old Turtle Vinegar, Redmi Vinegar, Raw Vinegar, etc. Drinking vinegar often can relieve fatigue, and vinegar can also treat colds.

Vinegar, also known as vinegar, acyl and bitter wine, is a kind of liquid sour seasoning commonly used in cooking.
The production methods of vinegar can be divided into brewing vinegar and synthetic vinegar. Brewing vinegar is made of grain, sugar and ethanol through microbial fermentation. Synthetic vinegar is made by mixing edible acetic acid with water, souring agent, seasoning, spice and edible pigment.
Because vinegar can be produced by itself in the natural environment, ancient humans began to eat vinegar from a very early time in the world. Generally speaking, eastern countries brew vinegar with grains, while western countries brew vinegar with fruits and wine. In China, it is generally believed that vinegar was brewed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but some people think that vinegar originated in Shang Dynasty or earlier. Acyl was called vinegar in Han Dynasty. In the west, vinegar appeared in ancient Egypt. Because they are all fermented and brewed, it can be considered that wine and vinegar are homologous to some extent, and all ancient civilizations that can make wine generally have the ability to make vinegar.
Due to the differences in raw materials, technology and eating habits, the taste of vinegar varies greatly from place to place. Baoning vinegar has a long history, which began in the first year of Changxing in the Five Dynasties Tang Dynasty (AD 936). Baoning vinegar is produced in the ancient city of Langzhong, Sichuan. It has the characteristics of soft sour taste and mellow sweet taste. With the popularity of Sichuan cuisine, it is sold all over the world. There is a saying that "without Baoning vinegar, Sichuan food will have no customers". In northern China, the most famous vinegar is Shanxi mature vinegar invented in Ming Dynasty. Shanxi people are famous for being jealous all over the country, and there is a joke called "Give up your gun and don't pay vinegar". Henan specialty vinegar is the most famous in the Central Plains. Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is the most influential in southern China. In addition, the famous vinegar is Zhejiang rice vinegar for health preservation.
Vinegar plays an important role in cooking in China. It is often used to mix vegetables and cold dishes. In western food, it is often used to prepare salad dressing or pickled cabbage, and in Japanese cuisine, it is often used to make sushi rice. In addition, some people think that it has many functions such as health care, medicine and medical treatment.
