Historical origin
It is said that in more than 200 BC, Qin Shihuang listened to the slanderers of Prime Minister Lisi and burned books to bury Confucianism. Countless history books were burned and hundreds of Confucian scholars were buried alive. Some Confucian scholars were buried alive and not dead, which is really lucky. They wake up at night, sneak out of the pit and hide in the mountains.
One of them, a Confucian scholar named Cai Fang, escaped and hid in the mountains for a few days. He was so hungry that he came home quietly at night, and his wife and children had mixed feelings when they met. In order to survive, Cai Fang had to bid farewell to his wife and children in tears again and live in exile. A few years later, Qin Shihuang died, Qin Ershi ascended the throne, and Cai Fang went home happily.
Who knows that there was a rare flood in my hometown two years ago, and my wife and children didn't know where to live. Cai Fang felt sad and angry, and felt that it was meaningless to live alone in the world. He might as well die, so he jumped into the rolling river. It happened that a fisherman passed by and saved him.
The fisherman said to him, "When there was a flood the year before last, I saved a teenager named Fang. I think he is honest and sincere, so I regard him as a son-in-law. " The fisherman took Cai Fang to his home. When Cai Fang saw the fisherman's son-in-law, he immediately recognized that he was the real son he was looking for everywhere. The father and son wept bitterly.
With the fisherman's full help, Cai Fang found his wife and daughter living on the streets again. In order to celebrate their close escape and happy reunion, the fisherman specially invited a famous chef to cook a sumptuous family dinner for the Fang family.
The chef painstakingly cooked a dish called "Family Portrait" for them. After the villagers ate it, they were full of praise and spread widely. Later, it was introduced to the court and became a famous court dish. "Family photo" means family reunion, happiness and good luck.
