2. "Fish in Hengxian County"

Eating fish in Hengxian County has existed since ancient times. According to the Records of Hengzhou during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, it was the ancestors of Hengxian who lived on both sides of Yujiang River thousands of years ago who first ate fish. There is a fascinating folklore. According to legend, when Emperor Jin and Yuan went to Hengzhou, Yishi Dong Jing lived in seclusion in Denggaoling. One day, Dong Jing went boating with his brother and sister to enjoy the moon, and suddenly he saw the immortal coming by the fork. Dong Jing invited guests, and the immortal said that he would not drink cooked food and left without saying goodbye. The brother and sister of Shu people went into the mountains to find out, and met the immortal in the cave. The immortal treated them with jade liquid, nectar and sashimi. Later, the brother and sister followed the advice of the immortal. Since then, the reputation of fish in Hengxian County has been greatly improved and spread to this day.

3. "Five-colored glutinous rice"

In ancient times, there was a young Zhuang man named Tenon, whose father had long since passed away, and he only lived with his mother who was paralyzed in bed. Tenon was very filial, and fearing that his mother would be bored at home alone, he carried his mother up the mountain to chop firewood and plant seedlings in the fields. Every time he brought a big bag of his mother's favorite glutinous rice to her side, so that her mother could eat it whenever she was hungry. This move of Tenon's mother and son was seen by a monkey on the mountain. The monkey took advantage of Tenon's opportunity to chop wood on the mountain and sneaked to his mother's side, promptly taking the glutinous rice away. Mother couldn't move, but watched the monkey take the glutinous rice. For several days, Tenon looked at his hungry mother and pulled the maple leaves around him helplessly, but he couldn't think of any way. Suddenly, Tenon found his hand pinching maple leaves dark, which turned out to be stained with black maple leaf juice. Looking at the black fingers, Tenon had a brainwave. He immediately cut the maple leaves from the tree home, put them in a stone mortar, and soaked them in water for a day and a night to get black juice, and then soaked the glutinous rice in the black juice for one night. The next morning, the black glutinous rice was picked up and cooked, and suddenly a fragrance filled the whole house. Mother shouted in the room, Tenon, what smells so good! Tenon said excitedly, this is black glutinous rice, how fragrant and sweet it is! This day is the third day of the third lunar month.

In the early morning, Tenon took his mother up the mountain to cut wood. He wrapped black glutinous rice with banana leaves, deliberately revealing a little black color. The monkey saw it, thought it was poison, dared not touch it, and ran away. On this day, Tenon ate black glutinous rice, but his mouth was not dry, and he felt full of energy and played more firewood. From then on, Tenon and his mother went up the mountain to cut wood, all with black glutinous rice. Later, the Zhuang family learned Tenon, and every household cooked black glutinous rice. Later, the clever Zhuang family learned to make yellow, red and purple glutinous rice with gardenia and red bluegrass, and finally evolved into today's five-color glutinous rice.

4. "Lemon Duck"

Speaking of "Ganjia jiepai Lemon Duck", there is also a little-known allusion. According to legend, in the 3rd year of the Republic of China (1915), Lu Rongting, a former commander-in-chief of Guangxi (now Wuming County), and his brother-in-law Tan Haoming opened the first highway in Guangxi-Yongwu Highway. One day, when Lu Rongting and his men were checking the road construction, they rested in the jiepai Pavilion outside jiepai Village. Lu Rongting saw that the revolving wood of this pavilion was cracked and suffered from wind and rain, and the Zhuang brocade pattern on the pavilion was somewhat eclipsed and deformed. At this time, a farmer happened to pass by, and Lu Rongting asked him about it. He thought that jiepai Pavilion was the facade of Nanning and Wuming and should be repaired. After listening to this, the villagers in jiepai Village felt very reasonable and grateful to Lu Rongting. One of the farmers slaughtered the ducks kept at home and warmly entertained them. However, when cooking, due to the lack of duck meat, farmers put some pickled lemons, sour peppers, garlic and ginger into the dishes to increase the weight of the dishes. When Lu Rongting tasted it, the lemon duck was sour and refreshing, fragrant but not greasy, and its appetite increased greatly, and it praised the cooking skills of farmers. Since then, the story of Lu Rongting eating ducks in jiepai Pavilion has spread in the village. Since then, the situation has changed and the situation has been turbulent. It was not completed until the second year of Lu Rongting's death (18 years of the Republic of China (1929)).

5. "Ciba"

It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Zixu, a courtier of the State of Chu, defected to the State of Wu to avenge his father's death, and wanted to borrow soldiers from the State of Wu to crusade against the State of Chu. He came to the State of Wu to help He Lv, the king of Wu, sit firmly in the country and become an active minister of the State of Wu. Soon, he realized his ambition, led Wu Bing to attack the capital of Kyoto, Chu, and dug the tomb of the king of Chu and whipped the corpse to avenge himself. Since then, Wu Zixu has been granted land. Once the King of Wu ordered him to lead people to build the famous "He Lv City" to prevent invasion. After the completion of the city, the prince of Wu was overjoyed. Only Wu Zixu is unhappy. He knows that he has a lot of grievances, and he is afraid that someone will find it difficult to tolerate him in the future. After returning to the camp, he said to his cronies, "It won't come to a good end to forget about Wang Xi. After my death, if the country is in trouble and the people are hungry, you can find food to satisfy your hunger by digging three feet under Xiangmen (one of the eight gates in Suzhou). " After He Lv's son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne, he refused Wu Zixu's advice many times, but actually listened to rumors, causing Wu Zixu to commit suicide. As Wu Zixu expected, shortly after his death, Gou Jian of Yue took the opportunity to attack Wu in dispatch troops and surrounded the capital of Wu. At that time, it was the end of the year, the weather was freezing, the people in the city were starving, and the country and people were really in danger. At this time of crisis, people remembered Wu Zixu's instructions before his death, and secretly tore down the city walls to dig the ground. People were surprised to find that the city foundations were all made of bricks and stones pressed by cooked glutinous rice. It turns out that this is the reserve grain that Wu Zixu stored as the cornerstone of the city wall after steaming a large number of glutinous rice and pressing it into bricks to cool it. People can't help but sigh, Wu Zixu is so prescient! Everyone picked up the glutinous rice brick, smashed it, re-cooked it and ate it separately. Later, in Chutian area, at the end of the harvest year, people would make glutinous rice into Ciba like the "city brick" of that year to pay homage to Wu Zixu. Up to now, Ciba is still a must-have food for people all over the south before the Spring Festival every year. In some places, Ciba is made into a circle, big and small, symbolizing harvest, celebration and reunion. Some places are also called rice cakes, and this name also means good luck. People often say: "Rice cakes, rice cakes, high longevity." The rice cake from Daoxiang Village in Guanqian Street, Suzhou is the best. There are lard rice cakes and red and white sugar rice cakes. The glutinous rice flour used to make rice cakes is thin and sweet, and its color is white and bright. The rice cakes made can be boiled and fried, and they taste fragrant and sweet. There are four varieties of lard rice cakes, such as rose, osmanthus fragrans and jujube paste, which are characterized by bright color, fat and fragrant glutinous rice and can be eaten for a long time. Chinese people eat rice cakes of southern style and northern style, and Suzhou rice cake is a very popular and special product among the southern rice cakes.
