The allusion and origin of the name of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall: Story 1: During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, officials from the Fuzhou Official Money Bureau hosted a banquet for Zhou Lian, the governor of Fujian.

During the dinner, there was a dish called "Fu Shou Quan", which was made from chicken, duck, lamb knuckles, pig trotters, ribs, pigeon eggs, etc. simmered over slow fire.

Zhou Lian was very satisfied after eating.

After returning home, he ordered chef Zheng Chunfa to imitate the original dish in accordance with the law, reducing the amount of meat and adding a variety of seafood.

The finished dish is richer in content, more delicious and delicious.

Later, Zheng left the Chief Envoy's Yamen and opened a "Sanyouzhai" restaurant on Fuzhou East Street (the predecessor of today's "Juchunyuan" restaurant in Fuzhou), and served this dish at a banquet where literati gathered.

The literati applauded after tasting it. Someone wrote an impromptu poem and said: "The altar is opened and the fragrance of meat is floating around. The Buddha abandons his Zen and jumps over the wall when he hears it."

From then on, this dish was called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".

Second statement: According to Mr. Fei Xiaotong’s account, the inventor of this dish was a group of beggars.

These beggars carry broken earthen pots and go everywhere begging for food every day, collecting all the leftovers from the restaurants.

It is said that one day, a restaurant owner went out and accidentally smelled a strange fragrance coming from the street. He escaped from the fragrance and found leftover wine and various leftovers in a broken earthen jar.

The boss became enlightened and went back to the shop to mix various raw materials and mix them with wine to create Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
