Interesting story of crabs in Gucheng Lake
Gaochun crab has been famous since ancient times.

At the end of the Ming dynasty, the Qing army entered the customs, and the world was in chaos.
Dai Benxiao, a poet from Hexian County, Anhui Province, came to Gaochun with his family during the war.
"The ancient stone cliff supports the county, and the fisherman's crab house is at the top of the nest."
At that time, it was spring. He saw the crab house by the lake, and now he decided to settle down by the lake.
In this way, when I go to Qiu Lai in summer, my family will be safe and the crabs will be ripe.
Gee, the heart of eating goods is the most invincible!

Every day, fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles in Gucheng Lake are transported from Guanxi River. After landing, it was covered with "Fresh Fish Lane". The sound of fresh fish jumping, the cries of fishermen and the bargaining of ordinary people come and go. A basket of crabs has also become a landscape in the "Fresh Fish Lane".

At the end of Qing Dynasty, there lived a famous local poet Kong by Gucheng Lake. He wrote many poems, leaving only a thin manuscript of "The Old City Longevity".
In these poems (1 19), there are several poems describing them eating crabs:
Eat crab
The fisherman gave me a crab and I ate it at first sight.
I am happy to express my condolences. I don't need to buy it for you.
I brew the old altar and put ginger vinegar before the banquet.
I have a crab in my left hand and a cup in my right hand. My eyes are as blue as the sky.
Hey, what is life in the world? Stand firm and do your own thing.
It's better to drink smartly than to compete for fame and fortune!
Eat crabs in August
Tomorrow is the ninth day of the Ming Dynasty, and my wife is very happy to have wine.
It is not a rule for fishermen to give crabs, and a frost claw remains the same.
Pour out a few pots of home brew, open good wine and cheer repeatedly.
Ask in a low voice from my granddaughter, is grandma and grandpa drunk?
Double Ninth Festival
In September, the Tian family was busy planting wheat, and the earth-walled hut smelled of plum blossoms.
After work, you have nothing to do. A bottle of cream wine is a bottle.
Wine and food should be worthy of this life.
Gaochun crab has not only become an excellent dish for poets to taste wine, but also a poetic theme for poets to express their feelings.
Now it's autumn again, it's time to eat crabs and talk ~
