The inventor of snake soup is Jiang Kongyin, a great teacher of Jiang. He was born in Tongzhi for four years. He is a native of Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, and his family has rich assets.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were many bandits in Lingnan, and the local residents were deeply disturbed by them, but they dared not speak out. So Jiang Kongyin invited himself to go home and be an official to stop bandits, so as to give the local people a stable life. But isn't it because of the failure of political reform and the suppression of unsustainable ideals? So I want to leave the Forbidden City. After returning to Lingnan, Master Jiang joined hands with the local gentry, and the people successfully wiped out the bandits. Since then, Master Jiang's prestige in Lingnan has been growing day by day, and he has been loved and respected by Lingnan residents.
Master Jiang loves to make friends, is generous and has friends all over the world. Many celebrities and figures were his good friends at that time. After the Revolution of 1911, Taishi Jiang resigned and went to sea. He often holds banquets at home and invites friends from all walks of life to get together. During this time, Taishi snake soup appeared in front of his guests as a famous dish. There are many famous dishes at the Taishi family banquet, such as Taishi chicken, Kirin and stuffed bamboo shoots with flowers and so on. Jiang Taishi's promotion of Cantonese cuisine also brought him the reputation of "the first gourmet in Lingnan".
