In the third year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1181), Su Dongpo was banished to Huangzhou because of the Wutai Poetry Case. At that time, Xu Junyou, the satrap of Huangzhou, gave him a sloping field in the east of Huangzhou, allowing him to cultivate himself. Su Dongpo worked hard, and the cucumber grew delicate and sweet.

In his spare time, Su Dongpo also found that Huangzhou is rich in white radish, which is very sweet. He pickled his own cucumber and radish rich in Huangzhou into pickles, named "Dongpo pickles", and said in a poem: "The slopes along the river are green and puddles, and Dongpo cultivates cucumbers. Fragrant, crisp and refreshing, like lotus root, sweet and sour appetizer wins apricot loquat. A dish of pickles surprised four people, and three mouths were ashamed of flowers. Scholars are attracted to it, and Dongpo pickled cucumber is the first choice. " At that time, there was a folk song circulating in Huangzhou: "Celebrities crossing the river laugh and talk, and pickles and radishes make old wine." Dongpo personally pickled it, and there was Bahe lotus root in the plate. " The pickled pickles in Dongpo are an appropriate description.
