Taking ducks listed in midsummer as raw materials, ducks were slaughtered, blood was left and sour vinegar was injected. With tender ginger or bitter gourd as ingredients, duck meat is simmered first and then cooked slowly, and vinegar blood is poured before taking out of the pot. The finished product is served on the table, fragrant and refreshing, and delicious. The vinegar blood duck records that the blood duck in Yongzhou, southern Hunan and the vinegar blood duck in Quanzhou, northern Guangxi, all originated from Lingling. According to the spring and autumn drawing, Quanzhou county in Guangxi belongs to Chu Qingyang and the Warring States period belongs to Chu Changsha. In 22 1 year BC (the 26th year of Qin Shihuang), Qin Shihuang made great efforts to unify the six countries, and established Lingling County (now the earliest county in Guangxi) in the southwest of Xianshui Town, quanzhou county, Guangxi, under the jurisdiction of Changsha County. In 124 BC (the third year of the Western Han Dynasty), Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty built a county on the back hillside of Meitan Village in Yongsui Township, quanzhou county, and named Changsha Hou. Since then, Quanzhou has had the name of Tao Yang. In 65438 BC+065438 BC+065438 BC, the ruins of Taoyangcheng were built (changed to a state forever). At this time, Lingling County and Tao Yang County coexist in the north and south of the state. In the same year, there was Lingling County (now Fenghuang Township in Quanzhou), which governed Lingling and Tao Yang counties. One hundred generations rise and fall. During the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lingling County moved into Quanling (formerly Lingling District of Hunan Province, now Yongzhou City). During the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu were divided into Jingzhou, Lingling and Sanxian counties, and Guanyang County (now Guanyang County, Guilin City, Guangxi Province) was divided into Shu and then into Wu. In 589 AD, after Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, Lingling, Tao Yang and Guanyang counties were abandoned in the 10th year of Sui and Huang Kai (AD 59O). Because it is located at the source of Xiangjiang River, Xiangyuan County is located in Zheqiao Village on the outskirts of the city. According to Kangxi's records of Quanzhou, Xiangyuan County had a wide jurisdiction at that time, including Guanyang County, Ziyuan County, North Xing 'an County, Dong 'an County and South Yongzhou City in Guilin, and today's quanzhou county area, which lasted for 366 years. This is why many people now regard Quanzhou people as Hunan people through their accents. It was not until the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1394) that Quanzhou was placed in Guilin, Guangxi. (That is to say, by 2007, the whole state will be under the control of Guangxi for 6 13 years). "Lingling blood duck" began in the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of "Lingling blood duck", we have to mention that Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan) was demoted to Liu Zongyuan, a great writer of Sima in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zongyuan (773-8 19), with a thick word. One of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. His ancestral home was Hedong (now Liu Jiaxiang, a western literature village in yongji city, Shaanxi), and later he moved to Chang 'an (now xi, Shaanxi). Together with Han Yu, he advocated the ancient prose movement in Tang Dynasty and called it Liu Han. Because he was from Hedong, he was finally appointed as the secretariat of Liuzhou, so he was called or Liu Liuzhou. Liu Zongyuan was born in Chang 'an, the capital city, in the eighth year of Daizong Dali (773). He was born in an official family, with little talent and high aspirations. In his early years, he was a scholar in the exam, and his writings were mainly flowery rhetoric. In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), he was a scholar, and in the fourteenth year, he entered the learned poetry class and was awarded the orthography of Jixian Hall. He was a lieutenant in Lantian, then became an official in the DPRK, actively participated in the political reform of Wang Group, and was transferred to Danielle as foreign minister. Yong Zhenyuan (805) in September, the innovation failed, and Shaozhou was demoted as a secretariat. In November, he was demoted to Sima in Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan). In the tenth year of Yuanhe (8 15), he returned to the capital in the spring and served as the secretariat of Liuzhou with outstanding achievements. Xian Zongyuan died in the 14th year (8 19). Liu Zongyuan left more than 600 poems in his life, and his achievements in writing were greater than poems. There are nearly a hundred parallel essays, which are argumentative, sharp, sarcastic and spicy, full of fighting, and travel notes are written about mountains and rivers, which are mostly entrusted. Philosophical works include Tian Shuo, Shi Tian and Feudalism. Liu Zongyuan's works were preserved by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty and compiled into collections. There is Liuhe East Collection. In September, due to the failure of Tang Xianzong's political reform, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, which is now Yongzhou, Hunan. Yongzhou is located at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong (Guangxi and Guangdong). It was lonely at that time. It was a terrible place with few people. The fall of Yongzhou 10 year was a major turning point in Liu Zongyuan's life. When he was in Beijing, he directly engaged in innovative activities. After arriving in Yongzhou, his struggle turned to the ideological and cultural field. Ten years in Yongzhou is a decade in which he continued to struggle. He has extensively studied some important issues in philosophy, politics, history and literature since ancient times, and has written articles and books. Most of his masterpieces, such as Feudalism, Unofficial Dialect, Heaven Pair and Six Contradictions, were completed in Yongzhou. Perhaps everyone is familiar with his well-known "The Snake Catcher" written in Yongzhou. The Snake Catcher sharply and profoundly exposed the cruelty of taxation under feudal rule, revealed the sufferings and misfortunes of the broad masses of the people, and showed the author's deep sympathy for the working people and strong resentment against brutal rule. In life, Liu Zongyuan is also a gourmet and a traveler. He traveled all over Yongzhou and wrote eight notes about Yongzhou. The integration of central plains culture and lingnan culture. Liu Zongyuan's ancestral home is Shanxi and his ancestral home is Shaanxi. Shanxi people and Shaanxi people all over the country like vinegar. I won't say much about Hunan people eating Chili. One day, Liu Zongyuan visited a village near Xiangjiang River and had lunch at a farmer's house. Because every household in the village raises ducks by the Xiangjiang River, the host family went to the river and picked a fat duck. Liu Zongyuan is a very careful person and also goes to the kitchen to observe. He remembers that when someone slaughtered ducks, they always spilled duck blood directly on the ground. He felt very sorry, and suddenly remembered the vinegar in his hometown, so this time he left a mind's eye and asked the owner to pour the duck blood into the vinegar and stir the blood evenly to prevent coagulation. According to the usual method of frying ducks, the host first pours oil into a red pot, sautes the ducks, drains the water, and puts a little wine, soy sauce and salt; Then put a small bowl of water to drown the ducks! Cover the pot and add local pepper, ginger and garlic when there is a little water left. Liu Zongyuan saw that it was time to signal the host to pour vinegar blood in and continue to stir fry with vinegar blood. However, not long after, a pungent smell came to the sight, only to see that the food was mushy and purple, but it tasted more delicious than usual. During the dinner, the host came up to Lingling water wine to greet the guests, only to see that everyone had eaten it and praised it again and again: "It's really fried duck with vinegar and blood." Later, the host knew that this person was the famous Liu Zongyuan, and the practice of frying ducks with vinegar and blood was handed down. Because it is located in Lingling, also known as "Lingling Blood Duck", it was changed to "Yongzhou Blood Duck" and "Lingling Blood Duck" became famous all over the world. In the Ming Dynasty, Lingling County (quanzhou county) was placed under the jurisdiction of Guilin, Guangxi, and the practice of vinegar blood duck was renamed as "Guilin blood duck" and "Quanzhou vinegar blood duck". Smart people in Quanzhou also created their own "bitter gourd blood duck", "bean blood duck", "sticky bean blood duck", "peanut blood duck" and "sesame blood duck" and so on. Later, the "Lingling Blood Duck" was brought to all directions by Hunan people who wandered the rivers and lakes, so there were "Jiangxi Lotus Fried Blood Duck", Hunan Xinning Blood Fried Duck (doused with blood duck), Hunan Xintian Blood Duck, Hunan Dongan Blood Duck, Guangxi Nandan Blood Duck and so on. It's different here. Later, under the strong recommendation of Zeng Guofan, the minister of the late Qing Dynasty, "Lingling blood duck" became the royal menu of the late Qing court. As a result, "Lingling blood duck" became famous for a while, and everyone knew it!
