Legend has it that in villages where famines occurred in the past, Guanyin Bodhisattva sprinkled nectar on willow branches, and the green trees grew densely, and hungry people picked the leaves. He made "tofu", cooked it and ate it to fill his stomach, which was how he saved his life.
In Ma'an Village, Langao County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, there is a common summer delicacy called "fairy tofu". This kind of tofu is as green as jade and tastes fragrant and refreshing. Because the two-winged Liudao tree in Langao is called the fairy tree, the tofu made from the leaves of this tree is called "fairy tofu".
