Maoer, formerly known as Guiji, is an ancient civilization with a long history. Many years ago, it was named because turtles often gathered along the Beipanjiang River.

In March of the third year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui led 30,000 troops to burn and plunder all the way from Guiji to Shuicheng, and An Xingyi and a large number of Shuicheng Yi people were trapped in the mountains. Because there was no pot to cook, I put tiles on the fire and baked potatoes and other vegetables with raw vegetable oil to satisfy my hunger. Unexpectedly, this has become a delicious inheritance, forming today's "Shuicheng griddle."

The turtle collection is rich in products and has attracted merchants from all over the world since ancient times. However, the local climate is hot, there are many mosquitoes, malaria is prevalent, and foreigners are prone to get sick. Therefore, "turtles gather in three villages, ten people come and nine people are trapped." They came riding a big horse and walked on crutches. " However, foreign businessmen wonder why the local Buyi people are not afraid of mosquito bites, malaria and strength. After careful investigation, it turns out that local Buyi people often eat lean meat, so they also eat lean meat with Buyi friends. Sure enough, they are not sick. When I left, no one walked on crutches. For a time, lean carp became famous, and foreigners brought it back to their hometown for relatives to taste. "Buyi lean carp" spread.
