Especially among the middle-aged and elderly people, it is well-known by most diners. It is said that "shitoumenkan Subao" has a long history and is a food with a hundred years old. Back to more than 100 years ago in the late Qing Dynasty, Tianjin was also known as Tianjin Wei. Tianjin is located at the confluence of the five major rivers in North China and is close to the Bohai Bay, so inland river shipping has been developed since ancient times. At that time, there were many fishermen living in this area. In order to pray for the safety of the sea god, these fishermen and their families often go to Tianhou palace to worship and petition. They eat vegetarian food and do good deeds according to the Buddhist commandment of not killing raw and eating vegetarian food or eating meat and fish. Therefore, they became their habit to eat vegetarian food. So they set up their first business in an alley opposite to the South Street of "Tianhou Palace" on the Haihe River near the northeast corner of Tianjin Tianjin vegetarian restaurant "zhensuyuan fosubao", but because the "zhensuyuan" store is close to the Haihe River, and the terrain is low-lying, so the shop is often filled with rain every summer. In order to maintain business, the shopkeeper at that time built a stone gate to drain water at the door, which was also the unique feature of the "zhensuyuan" shop at that time. At that time, although there were more than ten vegetarian restaurants in Tianjin Wei, the famous ones were liuweizhai, zhensuyuan, Suxiang restaurant and changshuyuan, among which the most famous one was zhensuyuan. At that time, the facilities of zhensu garden were clean, cheap, polite and considerate.

"Zhensu garden" has become more and more prosperous and famous with the hard work of the entrepreneurs. At that time, it had become a leader in the catering industry of Tianjin. From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, "zhensu garden" has attracted many cultural celebrities from Jinmen to taste vegetarian bags. Lin Mo, a modern educator in Tianjin, took the "zhensu garden" as an example, and advocated people to take vegetarian diet to protect their health. Mr. Yan Xiu, a famous educator, reformer and calligrapher in Tianjin, also wrote a plaque for the "zhensu garden", with the couplet: "truth is the element of emotion, and element is the original truth".

When Empress Dowager Cixi came to Tiantian palace in Tianjin to offer incense, she once drove her neighbor "zhensu garden" to taste the delicious vegetarian bread. After eating, the old Buddha was overjoyed and praised repeatedly that "the vegetarian bread in this house is delicious, which is more delicious than the dishes in the imperial dining room". It is said that after returning to Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi often relishes the delicacy of Tianjin"s shitoumenkan vegetarian bread, and often sends people to Tianjin to buy "zhensuyuan" vegetarian bread to go back to the palace for meals. The old Buddha often thought of the delicious vegetarian bag that she had eaten that day, and the "stone gate ridge" that stood high in front of the shop. So the Empress Dowager Cixi gave the shop the name of "shitoumenkan Subao". Since then, the reputation of "shitoumenkan Subao" has become more and more popular.
