Three delicacies

Changsha mainly offers Hunan cuisine, which has a long history. During the Warring States Period, the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan recorded many of Hunan’s cuisine in his famous poem "Calling the Soul" Dishes. During the Western Han Dynasty, there were 109 varieties of Hunan dishes and nine categories of cooking methods. After the Six Dynasties, Hunan’s food culture was rich and active. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the golden period for the development of Hunan cuisine, and the unique style of Hunan cuisine was basically established. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, two Hunan cuisine restaurants, Xuanbang and Tangbang, appeared in Changsha. In the early years of the Republic of China, the famous Dai (Yangming) School, Sheng (Shanzhai) School, Xiao (Lusong) School and Zu'an School emerged, establishing the historical status of Hunan cuisine. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, it has achieved better development. [65]
