Origin According to the Shishu Xinyao - Knowledge of the Puisne, "Zhang Jiying, a rauisuisne of the King of Qi, saw the autumn winds rising in Luo, and thought of the mushrooms and vegetables in Wuzhong and the chopped perch, and said, 'Life is expensive, but you have to be comfortable, so how can you be detained in thousands of miles in order to get a name and a title? So he ordered the driver to return. The king of Qi was defeated, and all the people of the time said that they had seen the opportunity.

This is a true story in history that Zhang Han resigned from his official post and went back to his hometown because he was homesick for his hometown and missed the food there. Zhang Han was a native of Wujiang. According to the "Book of Jin - Zhang Han biography" records: "Zhang Han in Luo, because I saw the autumn wind, is thinking of Wuzhong Court vegetables Brunswick soup, perch chopped, said: 'life is suitable to forget, why can detain the eunuch thousands of miles to want fame and title?' So he ordered to drive and return." This story, by the world as a good story, "Brasenia schreberi", has become synonymous with homesickness.

Zhang Han is a talented man, poetry and books are good, write the cauliflower in Jiangnan, there is "yellow flowers such as scattered gold" sentence, Li Bai admired him, wrote a poem praising: "Zhang Han gold sentence, the wind flow five hundred years". However, Zhang Han's fame is still due to Ulva schreberi and perch. Regarding "the thought of Brasenia schreberi", he had his own poem to prove it: "When the Autumn Equinox starts, it is a good time to see the scenery, the water of Wujiang River is fat with perch, and the family has not yet returned after 3,000 miles of journey, so I hate that it is hard to get it and look up to the sky to grieve for it." This is his lamentation in Luoyang when he misses his hometown. This thought of Ulva perch was later mentioned by many people in their poems. It is indeed poetic to associate the emotion of missing one's hometown with Brasenia schreberi and perch. In the poems of the Tang Dynasty, there are many works that use the allusion to Brasenia schreberi and perch to express the feeling of homesickness. Cui Hao has a poem "Weiyang sends friends back to Suzhou": "Chang'an is a few kilometers to the south, get General Purpose Gully hanging green. The perch on the shore of the islet fished on the boat, envying the old man to return to the East Wu." Bai Juyi's "Occasional Chanting": "There is still the interest of perch fish and Brasenia schreberi, and in the coming spring, I may propose to go to the east of the Yangtze River." Pi Rixiu (皮日休)《西塞山泊渔家》："Rain comes to Brasenia schreberi and the boat is slippery, after spring the perch fall into the fishing boat and become fat." Yuan Zhen's "Twelve Rhymes for Paying Friends for the Old": "Brasenia schreberi is tender and perch is fat." Interestingly, China's "thoughts of Brasenia schreberi" even spread abroad in the Tang Dynasty, when the Heian Dynasty, today's South Korea, and their king, Emperor Saga, wrote the following lines in a poem comparing to Zhang Zhihe's "Fisherman's Lyrics:" "Spring dawn on the cold river is clearing up in the clouds, and the flowers on both sides of the river fly even brighter in the night. The perch is chopped, the Brasenia schreberi soup, and after the meal, a sound song is sung and the moon is brought along." Such verses, included in the collection of Tang poems, are not inferior.

The Tang people are keen on Brasenia schreberi perch, to the Song Dynasty, poets seem to be more interested. Zhang Han for thinking of his hometown food and resigned to return home, poets not only understand, but also much praise. Xin Qiji's "Water Dragon Song" has a famous line: "do not say that the perch can be chopped, all the west wind, seasonal eagle return yet", Su Dongpo also has a wonderful line: "seasonal eagle really get the immortal in the water, straight for the perch is also since the virtuous. Ouyang Xiu for Zhang Han wrote a very emotional poem: "Qing words not inferior to the name of Jiangdong, the pathos of the Chu return to the hidden words difficult to understand. Homesickness suddenly from the autumn wind, white clams Brasenia schreberi chopped perch soup". Many poets came to Jiangnan to feel the delicious taste of Brasenia schreberi and perch because they were fascinated by the allusion to Zhang Han's thought of Brasenia schreberi and perch. Even though the origin of Brasenia schreberi and perch is not their hometown, it is very natural for them to give play to the theme and express their feelings of homesickness. Chen Yaozuo: "A flat boat tied to the shore can not bear to go, the autumn wind slanting sun perch country", Mi Fu: "Jade broken perch frost broken citrus, hanging rainbow autumn color full of southeast", Lu You: "This year, the new taste of water plant vegetables late, and perch and fish together! ". Song Dunru's "good things near - fisherman words", there is such a description: "Lost the old mountain clouds, so fingers empty for the guest. Brasenia schreberi perch fish stay me, live in mandarin ducks lake side", Ge Changgeng's "Hexinlang" is even more interesting: "has done flatboat pine river to go, and perch, Brasenia schreberi on the old friendship. Because of the memory of this, to return to the head." To go to the south of the Yangtze River to taste the Brunswick perch, at that time seems to have become a literati fashion.

Chulanchu and perch, I also tasted, the two are actually difficult to eat at the same time. Brasenia schreberi is like a young bud of a lotus leaf, tender and smooth, with no special flavor. I once joked with my friends in Jiangnan that drinking a bowl of Brasenia schreberi soup felt like eating a pond of lotus leaves. And I am still not sure what the perch written in Zhang Han's poem actually tastes like. There are many kinds of perch, four-gilled and two-gilled, and it is said that four-gilled perch is now rare. The most wonderful fish in my memory is a small fish called "Rachyphus rachyphus" or "pond carp", which is also said to be a kind of perch. More than thirty years ago, I was apprenticed as a carpenter on the shores of Taihu Lake, and ate eggs stewed by local people with this small fish, which tasted incredibly delicious. In the days of hunger and poverty, this was a delicacy that I could not forget. I think the perch that Zhang Han missed back then should be this delicious.
