Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab This crab is produced in Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou, Jiangsu, and is a famous product in China at home and abroad. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, crabs have the functions of relaxing muscles and tendons, benefiting qi, regulating stomach, promoting digestion, dredging meridians, dispelling heat and removing blood stasis. Introduction Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab This crab is produced in Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and is a famous product in China at home and abroad. The hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are big and fat, generally three of them weigh 500 grams, the biggest one only weighs more than 250 grams, and the biggest one can reach 500 grams. They have yellow hair with green back, white belly and golden claws, ten limbs are vigorous, and the crab meat is full and nutritious. Since ancient times, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have attracted countless diners. Mrs. Tang Guoli, Mrs. Zhang Taiyan, wrote a poem: "If Yangcheng crab tastes good, why live in Suzhou in this life!" Yangcheng Lake crab has always been called the crown of crabs. This is related to the special ecological environment of Yangcheng Lake. Fiona Fang is a hundred miles away, with rippling blue waves, clear water like a mirror, shallow water and hard bottom, abundant aquatic plants, wide extension and suitable climate. It is the most ideal crystal palace for crabs to settle down and grow. Therefore, the shape and meat quality of Yangcheng Lake crabs are very different among crab families. There are four characteristics in the shape: first, the green back, the crab shell is blue and muddy, smooth and shiny; second, the white belly, the navel shell pasted with mud, glittering and translucent and white, without ink spots; third, the yellow hair, the crab leg hair is long and yellow, the roots are tall and straight; fourth, the golden claw, the crab claw is golden, solid and powerful, and placed on the glass plate. The meat is tender and delicious, and it will be boring to eat other delicious dishes after eating. Just a few kilometers away from Yangcheng Lake, lake crab produces a lot, but due to the tide, its belly is not white, its hair is slightly black, and its meat quality is far less delicious than Yangcheng Lake crab. Lake crab, in the same territory, still can't be compared, and crabs in other regions are even worse. Therefore, Yangcheng Lake crabs have enjoyed a long-standing reputation overseas, and are called "Chinese golden velvet crabs". Authentic Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Yangcheng Lake is located in the northeast of Suzhou, with an area of 120 square kilometers, or about180,000 mu. It is divided into two parts, West Lake and East Lake, which belong to different administrative regions. East Lake mainly belongs to Wuxian City, Suzhou, and hairy crabs produced in West Lake are generally called Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab in Suzhou, while West Lake between Suzhou and Shanghai is mainly located in bacheng town, Kunshan City, where hairy crabs are called Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab in Bacheng. Because of the difference between Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in Suzhou and Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in Bacheng, there are two kinds of authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. According to the information obtained from the on-the-spot investigation on Li's story website, the differences are mainly manifested in two aspects: one is the difference, the other is the external difference: the Yangcheng Lake hairy crab production area belongs to different administrative regions, so there are two industry associations: one is Suzhou Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Industry Association; The other is the bacheng town Yangcheng Lake Crab Industry Association in Kunshan. These two associations respectively issue authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab anti-counterfeiting rings-authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab ID cards to their respective farmers. Each crab has a certificate with a unique code, that is, there are two kinds of Yangcheng Lake hairy crab anti-counterfeiting certificates. Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have different anti-counterfeiting certificates, which is one of the external differences. Second, the internal differences: East and West Lake hairy crabs have different feet. In Bacheng, Kunshan, Suzhou, there is a saying that shows the differences between East and West Lake hairy crabs: (East Lake) Suzhou Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs can crawl on the smooth glass surface, and (West Lake) Bacheng Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs can not only crawl on the same glass, but also crawl on the glass inclined at 45 degrees! As for the hairy crabs produced in other places, because of the different growth environment and weak crab feet, they do not have the ability to walk on the glass.
