The birth of dried meat gave birth to the national hero Wen Tianxiang. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (1277), after recruiting troops in Nanjian Prefecture, Wen Tianxiang wanted to go to Tingzhou and pass through Mingxi Town. At that time, many people in Mingxi participated in the division of diligent kings. Before the team leaves, relatives and friends always give some gifts to their relatives who are about to travel. What should I send? Inspired by sending "Shu Xiu" (dried meat) to the teacher, some people sliced lean pork, marinated it with natural and precious spices, and baked it into dried meat for relatives to take with them and eat at any time. This is the origin and initial practice of dried meat. Later, the production technology and seasoning formula were continuously improved, and the dried meat became better and better, becoming a noble gift for relatives and friends.
