During the Guangxu period, Xue Qingjie, the owner of Qingjie Restaurant in Liulichang, became a "fixed star" in the industry with his ancestral treasure identification skills. He refused to be powerful and kept his credibility. He was threatened because he exposed the boss of Juzhen Pavilion, Zhao San, for selling counterfeit goods.
