Introduction to the traditional manufacturing technology of Douban (traditional manufacturing technology of Pixian Douban)
Applicant: Pixian County, Sichuan Province
Pixian Douban is an important Sichuan cuisine seasoning, known as the "soul of Sichuan cuisine". Pixian County is located in the middle of Chengdu Plain in Sichuan Province, rich in Hu Dou (broad bean) and pepper. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, a person surnamed Chen lived in Sichuan. Under special circumstances, he mixed moldy Hu Douban with pepper and found that it tasted wonderful. After the Chen family settled down in Pixian, they began to operate the brewing industry. In the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), Chen Yixian, the grandson of Chen family, opened Shuntian soy sauce garden in the West Street of the county. In the third year of Xianfeng (1853) of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Shouxin, the grandson of Chen Yixian, merged shuntianhao with other stores in Nanjie to open Yifeng and Maotai garden. Chen Shouxin devotes himself to studying the craft of making Douban, and sums up the twelve word formula of "sunny sun, rainy cover, daytime turning, night dew". The traditional craft of making Douban in Pixian County has reached its perfection. After 1905, Chen Zhuan, the son of Chen Shouxin, carefully studied the proportion of pepper, Hu Dou and salt. After repeated practice, he improved the original technology of making Douban and developed varieties such as black Douban, golden hook Douban and sesame oil Douban. In 1956, Pixian Douban factory was established with Yifeng and MaoYuan as the main body.
During the period of the Republic of China, Pixian Douban was widely sold in Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. In 1916, it was awarded the first prize by Sichuan industry association. Pixian Douban is rich in nutritional value and plays an important role in Sichuan cuisine culture. Its traditional brewing techniques should be well inherited and developed.
