Stewed bass with water shield in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province became a dish at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, not only because the water shield and bass were delicious at this time, but also because of the historical fact that Hans Zhang abandoned his post and returned to his hometown because of homesickness. This story has not only become a beautiful talk for generations, but also made water shield a symbol of homesickness. Water shield is a family banquet for Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also a seasonal soup in August. Water shield, also known as horseshoe and watercress, is an aquatic perennial leafy herb.

He said, "Life is precious. How can you stay away from it for fame?" So he resigned and went home. Since then, water shield has become a symbol of homesickness. The locals say that even if they travel around the world, they are most concerned about their old mother by the door, their wife by the window and the water shield soup in their hometown.
