Why is soap called Yang Jian in Guanzhong dialect?

Accurately speaking, foreign alkali used to be imported, and it used to be preceded by a foreign word. This is the same as "Fan Jian" in Cantonese, with the same meaning as "Fan Jian". One belongs to Fanbang and the other belongs to foreigners, which means foreign things. Soap is also made of alkali and other materials, so it has these names.
