Whether building a house, celebrating a holiday, getting married, having a birthday, celebrating or holding a funeral, stone tofu is the first dish on the table.
According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River, he went to Zhuji incognito with his favorite Liu Yong. The two of them went to the village at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain wholeheartedly, only to find that the farmhouse was smoking and hungry. After eating stone tofu at the farmhouse, they couldn't help patting the table and saying, "Great." . They heard the name of this dish, "What a tofu", and blurted it out.
