Its production process is unique, the surface is golden yellow, bright and shiny, the aroma is fresh and mellow, oily but not greasy, rotten but not scattered, delicious and refreshing. Because of its excellent color and aroma type and famous, enduring.
Another theory is that the "Qinlan Marinated Goose" comes from the filial piety of Zhu Shouchang. The story of Zhu Shouchang, a filial son in the Song Dynasty, is about his filial behavior. This is the twenty-third story of the Twenty-four Filial Piety Stories. In this story, Zhu Shouchang resigned from his official position in order to find his real mother. And not only was this man very filial, he was also such a good official that Su Shi even used to praise him specifically. Filial Piety Story At the age of 7, his birth mother was kicked out of the house Zhu Shouchang, his character Kangshu. His father's name was Zhu Xun, who was the minister of the Ministry of Public Works during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, and his birth mother Liu was Zhu Xun's concubine. Zhu Shouchang served as the governor of Langzhou and the junior secretary of Sinnong, and was quite successful in politics. Later, he abandoned his post to look for his mother, and was famous for his filial piety. Wang Anshi and Su Shi wrote poems to praise him. When Zhu Shouchang was seven years old, his birth mother, Liu, was forced out of the house because she was envied by his first mother, and his birth mother remarried. The first mother was Zhu Shouchang's father's wife, while Zhu Shouchang's birth mother was a concubine. After his real mother left, Zhu Shouchang and his birth mother did not see each other for fifty years. This is what the poem says, "I was born at the age of seven and left my mother, but I have been in the business world for fifty years". "Sen, Shang" are the name of the stars in the sky, Sen star You time (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm) appeared in the west, Shang is also known as the star, dawning (5:00 am to 7:00 am) appeared in the east, they do not appear in the sky at the same time, a metaphor for the distance can not be met, and therefore there is also a "Sen, dawning, and You" said. Therefore, there is a saying of "Sen Chen Mao You". Gradually, Zhu Shouchang grew up, and with his own efforts and talents, he became an official. And in the days that followed, although Zhu Shouchang's life has been very good, but the birth mother has always been a thorn in his heart, which child does not miss their own parents, not to mention that when his mother was forced out of the house, Zhu Shouchang already understand, and there is a deep memory. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Shouchang decided to abandon his post and enter the area of present-day Shaanxi and Gansu to search for his birth mother. His move also caused an uproar in his family, but Zhu Shouchang persevered in his decision, ignoring the opposition of others and not listening to them. After his mother's death, the rainy day to guard the grave Before leaving home, Zhu Shouchang said goodbye to his family, swearing that: not to find the birth mother, never come back! He never gave up until he had gone through a lot of trouble and difficulties along the way. Zhu Shouchang mother left the Zhu family, married to a man surnamed party, had several children. When he stayed in Tongzhou, he found his mother. At that time, his birth mother was already over seventy years old. When mother and son recognized each other, they hugged and cried and told each other their feelings. Zhu Shouchang took his mother and several half-siblings home with him. After a few years, his mother died, Zhu Shouchang pain, almost cried blind. After his mother's death, Zhu Shouchang took care of his half-siblings more carefully. Folklore, Zhu Shouchang mother alive afraid of thunder, Zhu Shouchang afraid of his mother's spirit by the thunder scared, every spring and summer, as long as the thunder, Zhu Shouchang ambush on his mother's grave, day and night, protecting his mother, stormy, but also not to leave. Since then, Zhu Shouchang's reputation as a filial son has grown.
Today, one kilometer to the east of Qinlan Town, Tianchang City, Anhui Province, there is a 1,000-year-old cypress, which is said to have been planted by Zhu Shouchang, a filial son, next to his mother's grave, and is known as the filial son tree. Legend has it that the origin of this tree is like this: Zhu Shouchang's mother was afraid of thunder when she was alive, after her death, every thunderstorm, Zhu Shouchang always have to hold an umbrella to the grave to guard. After three years of filial piety, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty recognized his filial piety and ordered him to resume his official duties. Before Zhu Shouchang left Qinlan, he went to his mother's grave and planted a pine and cypress to represent that he would always be with his mother. In the previous stories about filial sons, there were also filial sons who either went to their mothers' graves to keep watch over their mothers during thunderstorms, or they would also put umbrellas over their mothers' graves. In fact, the behavior of many filial sons is of a different kind.
And today, this vestige of filial piety culture is also valued. As a result of the age-old, thousand-year-old cypress tilted phenomenon, Qin bar town party committee, the government in conjunction with the relevant departments spent more than 40,000 yuan, the thousand-year-old pine for the protection of the famous scenic spot in the construction of a set of filial piety culture, Buddhist culture, modern culture and education base as one of the "Shouchang Park". Once went to the local said the local also produces a kind of "Zhu filial piety brine goose", also known as "Qin bar brine goose", which also has a legend with Zhu filial piety between. Some materials say that when the birth mother Liu was abandoned, Zhu Shouchang lived with his mother for three years. During the three years of mother and child dependent on each other, life is lonely, Zhu Shouchang to put geese for a living, and then his father will take him back to raise. Zhu Shouchang and his mother's three years of hard life experience is unforgettable, after the official, but also day-to-day thoughts of his mother, "food and drink rarely imperial meat and wine, words often runny". Family members and attendants remembered that he lived with his mother when the goose experience, so the chef brined cooked goose, increase appetite. Zhu Shouchang eat, really appetite, and since then every meal must eat, the body gradually recuperate. However, Zhu Shouchang every time you eat goose, thinking of his mother's feelings are more urgent, so he abandoned his post, thousands of miles to find his mother. Shouchang mother and son after the reunion, the mood is comfortable, more like to eat brine goose, asked the attendant daily brine cooked goose and mother to eat, enjoy the days, and called himself "Shouchang brine goose". Later, "Shouchang brined goose" secret process spread all over the countryside of the Qin column. The villagers admired Zhu Shouchang's filial piety and honored him as "Zhu Xiaozi Marinated Goose".
