Daxiande
Time-Honored BrandDaxiande · Shaanxi · Founded
A renowned Shaanxi food brand with a history dating back to the Ming Dynasty, Daxiande is celebrated for its traditional brewing techniques and authentic flavors, including soy sauce, vinegar, and fermented bean curd.
Brand Story
Daxiande traces its origins to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). During the late Ming and early Qing, sauce workshops in Weinan, Shaanxi, were already brewing soy sauce and vinegar. In the Qianlong reign (1736-1795), a merchant surnamed Zhang opened a sauce shop in Xi'an, naming it 'Daxiande', meaning 'great virtue and prosperity', with integrity as its business principle. Through unique brewing methods and quality ingredients, it gained fame across the Guanzhong region. By the late Qing and early Republic, its products were sold across Northwest China, becoming a staple on local tables. The brewing techniques, passed down through generations, blend the richness of northern sauces with Shaanxi's local flavors, creating a distinctive taste of 'rich aroma and balanced saltiness'. Daxiande is not just food; it embodies the culinary memory of Shaanxi and offers a window into the region's commercial history.
