Zhang Jingchun (M.D.) made a timely supplement-talking about the breakfast of Emperor Qianlong on February 23rd, 54: fried chicken, hot pot stewed with sauerkraut, duck hot pot with deer tendon (dismantled), sheep's silver sauce, apple soft stew, roasted meat, vinegar bean sprouts, fried leek with shredded pork, chess-eye steamed buns, hot tofu steamed buns and steamed buns. According to records, it was breakfast on February 23rd in Qianlong, which was in spring. Sun Simiao, a 100-year-old doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once mentioned that one of the principles of nourishing diet in spring is to "keep sour and sweeten to nourish temper", and eat less sour food and more sweet food in spring. Chinese medicine believes that among the five elements, the liver belongs to wood and tastes sour, while the spleen belongs to soil and tastes sweet. Excessive liver qi in spring is easy to damage the spleen, leading to weakness of the spleen and stomach. For breakfast in Ganlongdi, Shangze, we chose a slightly sour hot pot stewed with sauerkraut, which is called "keeping sour" to avoid excessive liver qi, and chose a variety of light dishes such as apple soft stew, vinegar bean sprouts, tofu eight immortals soup and hot tofu buns to avoid increasing the burden on the spleen and stomach. At the same time, there are both warm venison and cold duck in this royal meal, both cold and warm; Snacks are also thick and thin. Looking at this breakfast, there are grains, fruits, meat and vegetables, and the food is very rich. We often say that food tonic is not as good as medicine tonic, which means that medicine is toxic in three ways, and tonic should be enough. Before the disease comes, "prevention before illness" is the key to health preservation. Of course, this does not mean that no matter what your physical condition, you should give priority to supplements, but that you should eat reasonably, so as to ensure that your body can get more comprehensive nutrition. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says that "five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, five dishes are the filling, and the smells are combined to make up the essence". So did Emperor Qianlong. It is said that he likes venison, paws and other game very much, and he also likes to eat ducks, which are both cold and warm. While eating meat, he pays more attention to balanced nutrition and the combination of meat and vegetables. For example, he likes to eat all kinds of beans and wild vegetables, especially tofu and bean sprouts, and eat some hot noodle soup and porridge in the morning and evening. Usually I often eat miscellaneous grain cakes, which are thick and thin.

For example, he likes to eat all kinds of beans and wild vegetables, especially tofu and bean sprouts, and eat some hot noodle soup and porridge in the morning and evening. Usually I often eat miscellaneous grain cakes, which are thick and thin. According to the food stall of the Qing Palace, Emperor Qianlong had a special hobby for bean food, which was found on the dining table almost every day, and every meal was not allowed to be repeated. He often eats many bean dishes, such as bean soup, fried bean sprouts, red and white tofu, box tofu, chicken soup tofu, pot collapse tofu and assorted tofu, which was called "welfare" in ancient times. Sweet, salty and cold in nature, it has the functions of invigorating qi, regulating spleen and stomach, clearing stomach, clearing heat and promoting blood circulation. It is suitable for many heat-related diseases, such as dry mouth and thirst, bad breath and abdominal distension, and fever. It can also clear the stomach and help digestion, and can be used when the appetite is poor. Modern pharmacological research also found that tofu is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, folic acid, vitamin B 1 and B6. Most of the fat in tofu is unsaturated fatty acid and contains no cholesterol, so it is a good tonic. In addition, tofu is rich in phytoestrogen flavonoids, which is a good choice for menopausal patients. When emperor Qianlong ate tofu, he often served some rare wild vegetables, including bracken, Tricholoma matsutake, mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots. During the Qing Dynasty, delicacies from all over the country were regularly presented to the Palace, such as winter bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots in Zhejiang, tremella in Jiangxi, dried fungus in Hunan, tea tree mushrooms and lilacs in Sichuan, and Taifuru mushrooms in Wutai Mountain in Shanxi. Among them, winter bamboo shoots are a kind of commonly used food, which has the best quality compared with spring bamboo shoots and summer bamboo shoots, and also has important medicinal value. Its taste is sweet, slightly cold, and it belongs to stomach meridian and lung meridian. It has many functions, such as nourishing yin, cooling blood, regulating middle energizer, moistening intestine, quenching thirst and relieving vexation, stimulating appetite and strengthening spleen. It is mainly used for treating abdominal distension, chest tightness, anorexia, excessive phlegm and dry stool. When winter bamboo shoots are used as ingredients, they are fresh, tender and delicious, crisp and refreshing, such as dry-fried winter bamboo shoots and sliced pork with winter bamboo shoots. Modern pharmacological studies have found that winter bamboo shoots are rich in trace elements and vitamins such as protein, amino acids, iron and phosphorus, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion. The polysaccharide contained in it also has certain anti-cancer effect. However, it should be noted that winter bamboo shoots contain oxalic acid, which will form calcium oxalate when combined with calcium, so people with stones and kidney disease should not eat more.
