1894, Zhang Jian founded a "Yisheng Brewing Company" in the west of Zhuangyuan Street, Changle Town, Haimen City, Jiangsu Province, to brew Yisheng Chen Yin Daqu liquor. The company covers an area of more than 60,000 square meters, with a building area of more than 30,000 square meters, including Zhangjiayuan ancient building 1000 square meters, and there are 86 old workshop-style fermentation tanks, of which 18 comes from Yisheng winery, and the storage capacity of the old kiln is several thousand cubic meters.
Yisheng Chen Yin Daqu liquor is a high-quality Daqu liquor made of glutinous red sorghum as raw material, supplemented with special-purpose Daqu liquor for Yisheng, fermented in the old workshop pool, and added with dozens of medicinal materials such as saffron, Chen Yin, bergamot, Polygonatum odoratum and Tongxin grass. It is prepared by a unique process and stored in the old kiln for a long time. Chen Yin Daqu liquor is apricot yellow, which is a natural mixed color extracted from many precious medicinal materials such as safflower. Tasting sweet and mellow "Yisheng wine" is not only pleasing to the eye, but also has a unique style of protecting the liver, strengthening the spleen and stomach, relaxing the bones and muscles, and removing wind diseases.
The unique brewing technology of "Yisheng wine" has created the brilliant history and value of "Yisheng wine". As early as 1904, it won the certificate of the Osaka World Expo in Japan, and 1906 won the gold medal of the Italian World Expo, nine years earlier than Wuliangye 19 15 won the gold medal of the World Expo. This is the first gold medal that China Liquor won at the World Expo. During the Shanghai World Expo, only two international gold medals were publicized, one of which was the international gold medal of the "Yishengjiu" World Expo, which added sparkling color to the success of the Shanghai World Expo on June 5+February 3, 2002. "Yisheng Chen Yin Wine" also won the "China First Food Expo" and other awards. At that time, Mr. Zhang, then the vice chairman of China Federation of Industry and Commerce, tasted the probiotic wine and happily mentioned: "The probiotic wine will make you live longer.".
The unique brewing concept, profound cultural background and historical value of Yisheng wine will certainly add a lot of color to the development of Chinese wine culture.
President Mao Zedong said: "When it comes to China's national industry, we should not forget four people ... and the textile industry should not forget Zhang Jian." Zhang Jian thought of the people all his life and worked hard for them. He is really an advocate and experimenter of "saving the country through industry and saving the country through education" in China. Some of his thoughts and practices still have practical significance and functions today.
1853 (Xianfeng three years), Zhang Jian was born in Changle Town, Haimen, Jiangsu Province. He was clever since he was a child, and he could carry a cross at the age of three. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, he was comfortable before he joined the league, saying, "Before a man rides a white horse." Zhang Jian immediately said to him, "I stepped on the sea of Jin Ao." The battle was clean and eye-catching, and it became a story for a while.
Zhang Jian began to enter the imperial examination room at the age of fifteen.
At the age of twenty-one, Zhang Jian was invited by Sun Yunjin of Jiangning Development Examination Bureau to serve as the secretary of the development examination bureau, made many prestigious teachers and friends, and began to show his talents. At the age of twenty-three, he joined the Huai Army of Wu Changqing Shogunate as a confidential document.

This year coincided with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Thirty-five people in imperial academy published "Apologize for Li Hongzhang's official defeat", and Zhang Jian published "Push the original disaster to prevent the future, please go to Beiyang to fold" alone, accusing Li Hongzhang of "not preparing for the war, losing in a draw" and being wrong with the country.
1895, the Qing government signed the "treaty of shimonoseki" with Japan, which humiliated the country and allowed foreign businessmen to set up factories in the mainland of China, which aroused Zhang Jian's great anger and anxiety: "If you donate my things to people, people will sell me my things, which is tantamount to wasting blood to fatten the tiger and exposing its meat to continue. The income is not guaranteed. Our people are getting poorer and poorer, and the country is in Alai? " Zhang Jian believes that national industries must be developed to resist imperialist economic aggression. With the support of Governor Zhang Zhidong of Huguang, he organized one of the earliest cotton mills in China, Sheng Da Cotton Mill, and began his practice of "saving the country through industry". Zhang Jian fully realized that "the husband founded the country because of talents, and talents came from the establishment of schools." On the basis of developing industry and acquiring certain assets, he also vigorously set up education, and began to form his leading thoughts of "saving the country through industry" and "teaching the mother by father". Based on Nantong, he carried out systematic thought and practice in the form of local autonomy, and hoped to spread it to Jiangsu and even the whole country.
During the period of 1903, Zhang Jian visited the fifth domestic promotion Expo in Japan at the invitation of Amano, consul of the Japanese government in Jiangning (now Nanjing), and made a field trip to Japan's industry, agriculture and education for more than 70 days, which gained a lot.

Zhang Jian's life is a hard life. He is ambitious and strong-willed, and holds the patriotic enthusiasm of "saving the country through industry and saving the country through education" all his life.
