In the early Ming Dynasty, it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor at that time, so the whole country avoided talking about pigs (Zhu). There was a rich man named Shen Wansan. Because Shen Wansan was extremely rich, Zhu Yuanzhang was very jealous, so he went to Shen Wansan's house. Shen Wansan entertained Zhu Yuanzhang with a pig's hoof. After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he deliberately embarrassed Shen Wansan and asked him how to eat it.

Because the whole hoof was not cut, if Shen Wansan used a knife, Zhu Yuanzhang could cure him of his crime (in ancient times, he could not use a murder weapon in front of the emperor), but Shen Wansan had a brainwave and pulled out a thin bone from the hoof, and cut the meat with the bone, saving his life.

There is also a traditional way of eating three hooves. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was delicious, so he asked Shen Wansan what the name of this dish was. Shen Wansan thought it could not be called pig hooves, so he patted his thigh and said that it was three hooves, hence the name.
