"Buddha jumps over the wall" is the first traditional dish in Fujian cuisine. According to legend, this dish originated in the late Qing Dynasty. An official of Yangqiao Lane official bank held a banquet at home, inviting Zhou Lian, the chief secretary, and the official's wife to cook in person. More than 20 kinds of raw materials, such as chicken, duck and meat, were put into Shaoxing jar and carefully simmered into a meat dish. Zhou Lian was full of praise after tasting it. After that, Zhou Lian took the official chef Zheng Chun to visit the official bank. After returning to my office, Zheng Chunfa carefully studied and reformed the materials, using more seafood and less meat, and the effect was better than the former. 1877, after Zheng Chunfa opened the "Juchunyuan" restaurant, he constantly studied and enriched the raw materials of this dish, and the dishes he made were rich in flavor and widely praised. One day, several scholars came to the restaurant to drink and taste dishes, and the hall official brought an altar of dishes to the scholar's table. When the lid of the altar was opened, the dish was full of meat, and the scholar was intoxicated by the fragrance. Someone asked the name of this dish. A: It has not been named yet. So the scholar improvised poems, including a poem cloud; "The altar is full of meat fragrance floating around, and the Buddha hears it and abandons the bomb wall." Everyone was surprised. Since then, quoting the meaning in the poem: "Buddha jumps over the wall" has become the proper name of this dish, which has a history of 100 years.

The dish "Buddha jumps over the wall" is said to have a history of more than 200 years. This dish consists of eighteen main ingredients and more than ten auxiliary materials. Its raw materials are chicken and duck, pork belly, hoof tip, tendon, ham and chicken and duck gizzard. There are shark's fin, sea cucumber, abalone, scallop and fish belly; There are more than 30 kinds of raw materials, such as pigeon eggs, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and razor clam, which are processed and modulated respectively.

There are different opinions about the origin of this dish. According to Mr Fei Xiaotong, the inventor of this dish is a group of beggars. These beggars carry broken crocks everywhere every day and collect all kinds of leftovers in restaurants.

It is said that one day, when a restaurant owner went out, he happened to smell a strange fragrance floating in the street and found that the wine left in the broken crock was poured with all kinds of leftovers. Inspired by this, the boss went back to the store and mixed all kinds of raw materials in an urn with wine to create a Buddha jumping wall.

Second, there is a custom in Fujian called "trial cooking". According to this rule, the newly married daughter-in-law comes to the door on the first day, comes to the door again the next day, and tries to cook in front of everyone on the third day. This is a test of the new wife's housekeeping skills.

According to legend, there is a spoiled woman who can't cook. Before I got married, I was worried about the upcoming kitchen trial. The mother tried her best for her daughter, and finally turned out all the treasures at home, prepared them one by one, put them in small bags with lotus leaves, and repeatedly told her daughter how to make all kinds of raw materials. Who knows that the bride forgot all kinds of cooking methods in her panic the day before the kitchen trial. She didn't go to the kitchen until the evening, unpacked all kinds of raw materials wrapped by her mother and piled a table. When she was at a loss, she heard her in-laws coming into the kitchen. Afraid that her in-laws were picky, the new wife saw a jar on the table and quickly put all the raw materials into it. She had to wrap the jar with lotus leaves wrapped with raw materials and put the jar on the stove that was about to put out the fire. Thinking about tomorrow's kitchen trial, the new daughter-in-law sneaked back to her family for fear that she could not cope. The next day, all the guests arrived, but the new wife disappeared. When my in-laws entered the kitchen, they found a jar on the stove, which was still hot. When the lid was lifted, the fragrance was overflowing, and the guests cheered in unison when they smelled the fragrance, becoming a Buddha jumping over the wall.
