1963, a delegation of the Chinese Buddhist Association went to Nara, Japan to participate in the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of/kloc-0, the death of a monk in Jian Zhen. At that time, many leading figures in the bean products industry in Japan were also involved. It is said that they took part in the commemorative activities to thank Jian Zhen for bringing the method of making tofu to Japan when he traveled eastward. Remarkably, these participants were carrying bags full of various bean products, and the words "Tang Chuan Tofu, made in Huainan Tang Dynasty" were written on the bags.
Huainan Hall is the name of a tofu mill in Huainan, China. It was originally established to commemorate the inventor of tofu, Liu An, the king of Huainan in Han Dynasty. How did Huainan Wang invent tofu? It turns out that Liu An emphasized the technique of the situation and practiced hard in Huainan day and night. The accompanying Taoist priests are vegetarians all the year round. In order to improve his life, he carefully developed delicious tofu and presented it to Liu An. Liu An tasted it and it was delicious, so he ordered mass production. In this way, the invention right of tofu was recorded in the name of Liu An, the king of Huainan. Legend has it that Liu An later ascended to heaven in Bagong Mountain, where he built the Liu An Temple, Huainan King and Bagong Mountain Tofu, which became famous all over the world.
