"Buddha jumps over the wall" means "full of incense", also known as "Fushouquan", which is the chief famous dish in Fuzhou. It is said that Xuanquan, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, passed through Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, on his way to Shaolin Temple, and stayed at the hotel, just across the wall, where your official gave a banquet with "full altar incense". The monk sniffed it and coveted it. He abandoned Buddhism for many years and jumped over the wall to enjoy the "full altar incense". The Buddha jumps over the wall, hence the name. However, the Buddha jumping wall in each region is different. For example, the potted vegetables in Guangdong are also considered as a kind of Buddha jumping wall, but the ingredients used are more local.
