There are many versions circulating in the market, but I personally think that the word "sashimi" was introduced from Japan. In fact, both Chinese sashimi and Japanese sashimi (cooking) are deeply influenced and used for reference by the production skills and technology of neighboring Japan. In fact, eating raw seafood (fish) existed in China a long time ago, but it was called "eating" at that time. According to the data, "pickling" not only refers to raw fish, but also includes meat, which refers to fish fillets and shredded pork soaked in sauce (such as vinegar). I think the word "sashimi" was introduced from Japan. Everyone knows that Japanese people like to eat all kinds of fish (seafood) raw. It is said that it is not easy for Japanese fishermen to identify the types of fish for customers when providing sashimi. I came up with a way to insert the skin of fish strung with bamboo sticks on sashimi for easy identification. So it was named "sashimi", and this name has been preserved to this day.
