It can be said that in history, there are many kinds of such delicacies. For example, jiaozi, which northerners especially like to eat, has a great relationship with Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, and this has also derived a saying that eating jiaozi during the winter solstice will not rot your ears. According to historical records, Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown during the Eastern Han Dynasty and saw many ordinary people in his hometown naked, and some of them were even skinny, so he ordered.

Secondly, I want to talk about the instant-boiled mutton related to Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu. In the process of attacking the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan led a great army to the south and suddenly wanted to eat mutton eaten on the grassland halfway.

Then the chef simply cut the mutton into pieces, poured them directly into the pot, and then took them out and sprinkled salt on them. After Kublai Khan ate them, he was greatly appreciated.

The food I'm going to introduce is called kung pao chicken. I believe many people will order this dish when they go to restaurants now, and this dish was named in memory of Ding Baozhen in Guangxu period, and later it became the royal dish of the court.

There are many dishes like this in history, so I won't list them one by one here. Interested students can check the information and get to know for themselves. I believe you will be moved by the stories behind these foods, and at the same time you will lament that Chinese culture is broad and profound, and even a dish has so many sayings.
