In thousands of years' history, China cuisine has been developed by people from all walks of life. Among the world's cuisines, China's cuisines have the longest history and a wide variety. Some of these foods are simple, some are complex, some are widely circulated, and some are regarded as secret recipes handed down from generation to generation. In any case, they are the crystallization of the painstaking efforts and wisdom of the people of China and the precious wealth left by our ancestors.

When it comes to China's ancient famous food with historical origins, people often think of Dongpo meat first. According to legend, this is a delicious food invented by Su Dongpo, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The preparation method of Dongpo meat is not complicated. There are fresh pork, salt, sugar, wine, soy sauce and other things, and then slowly stew the meat with a small fire, and a delicious Dongpo meat is ready. Su Dongpo always shares this dish with his neighbors after cooking it. This dish gradually became famous and passed down. When people in this world eat this dish, they think of interesting allusions.

Besides Dongpo meat, beggar chicken also has a long history. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked the world, he was chased by the enemy all the way. When he was tired and hungry, he suddenly smelled a strange smell ahead. He stepped forward and saw a beggar wrapping the whole chicken in mud and roasting it on the fire. Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled and asked the beggar what he was doing. When the beggar saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, he humbly presented his roasted chicken to Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, he was full of praise for this dish. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the country, and people handed down this dish as a souvenir. Zhu Yuanzhang also specially named this dish Fu Gui Chicken.

In addition to the above two dishes, there are countless dishes with origins in history. Although history is difficult to verify, these origins and allusions add a lot of connotation and charm to dishes, making them more valuable. Today, we should also cherish the wisdom of our ancestors and let these dishes and allusions continue to spread.
