By the Qing Dynasty, the brewing technology of vinegar had been perfected, and the well-known Shanxi mature vinegar and Taiyuan special vinegar were formed. It uses sorghum as raw material, fermented with special distiller's yeast and dried in oriental ice in summer. One year later, the concentration and fragrance of vinegar increased, and then it became mature vinegar.
