China people have a long history of drinking vinegar drinks. Legend has it that Yang Guifei loves litchi. As soon as litchi is produced, someone will send it to Chang 'an from the south. In the litchi-free season, in order to satisfy Yang Guifei's gluttony, the court invented a fresh litchi-flavored drink, which was made from top-grade vinegar with sugar and ice spring water to satisfy Yang Guifei's desire to eat litchi. This is the predecessor of today's vinegar beverage.
