The resounding brand Guishunzhai in Tianjin embodies the painstaking efforts of several generations, such as Liu Xingquan, Ma Tingxiang, Li Zhuanzhang, Jin Yuxiang, Liu Shaoquan, Li Qingshan and Ma Wanli. He said that Tianjin Guishunzhai was originally an old brand developed from Tianjinwei folk snack bar.
Tianjin is the most prosperous commercial port in the north in modern history. Due to the mixed residence of five parties and the rapid development of the city, the rise and development of Tianjin snacks have been promoted. In the early 1921s, there were many mobile vendors on the streets of Tianjin, hawking homemade snacks with Hui flavor. At that time, there was a "Dashunzhai" fire shop in Tongzhou, Beijing. Liu Xingquan, the boss, came to Tianjin to make a living. First, he sold tickets on the tram, but he didn't make much money. Later, he started his old job. In 1924, he bought a frontispiece in Nanshi, Tianjin, dealing in Hui snacks such as sugar fire and glutinous rice balls. That year, Liu Xi got a daughter and named her "Shu Gui". He had a brainwave and used the word "Gui" and the last two words of Dashunzhai to name the shop "Gui Shunzhai".
