Su Shi came to Hangzhou as a well-known person. In May and June of the following year, it rained heavily in western Zhejiang, Taihu Lake flooded and crops were flooded. Because Su Shi took effective measures as early as possible, the people in the western part of Zhejiang Province have weathered the storm. In order to thank Su Shi, everyone carried pigs to give him wine. Su Shi instructed people to cut the meat into cubes and burn it red and crisp for people to eat. Everyone eats with relish and is full of fragrance, so it is called Dongpo meat.
