During the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty (1851~1861), the dishes created by Jiang Chunyuan, a famous chef of Baisha, such as rock sugar lotus root pills, mung bean balls, night dew cream, egg silk wine, etc., were all well-known snacks and were selected into the book "Snacks in East Sichuan" published in October 1981.

Today, it is still a must-have dish for people in Jiangjin and Baisha. Snacks are sweet, tender and refreshing, and they are deeply loved by guests.

Baisha used sorghum to make liquor, which began in the early Qing dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu was in its heyday, and there were more than 3 trough houses in the town, forming a trough house street. Donkey stream is often used in the distillery's trough, because it passes through deep valleys and shoals, and its water quality is clear. It belongs to soft water with little mineral content, just like Chishui River in Guizhou is as suitable for liquor making as Maotai. The sorghum used is also selected local red sorghum. In addition, the production technology is exquisite, and the baked soju is clear and transparent, mellow and delicious, so it is very popular and has been selling well both inside and outside the province.

At that time, the folk jingle: "Jiangjin Tofu is delicious, and you should eat white sand in shochu" shows the popularity of white sand shochu.

film and television culture

Baisha, as a cultural center during the Anti-Japanese War, has a rich history and culture of the Anti-Japanese War. There are more than 5 historical sites in the Anti-Japanese War, accounting for 8% of the whole region. During the Anti-Japanese War, many Kuomintang party and government organs, schools and industrial enterprises moved to Baisha, and many historical celebrities publicized and led the anti-Japanese movement in Baisha. The town also has more than 1, square meters of historical blocks and ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chaotianzui Wharf is the only well-preserved Chuanjiang ancient wharf in the Yangtze River basin. These unique conditions have attracted many crews to shoot modern film and television dramas.

Because the historical features of Baisha Town in Chongqing are similar to those of the "Old Mountain City" period, and it has the largest mountain residential building in southwest China, you can find the shadows of the old Chaotianmen Gate and the old Jie Fangbei, as well as the old alleys, diaojiao buildings, halls, temples and academies, etc., so the local government put forward the idea of building the "Old Mountain City" film and television base on the site of the Anti-Japanese War. Since 26, nearly 3 TV dramas have been filmed in this background, and an average of 4 to 5 TV dramas are started here every year.
