According to legend, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di was touring the Wudang Mountains in the south. When the royal boat reached Junzhou Prefecture on the Han River, a big white fish suddenly jumped out of the water and landed on the deck of the royal boat.

I saw the fish jumping lively and shining silver, which was very cute.

The emperor ordered the imperial chef to cook it, and after tasting it, he greatly appreciated the deliciousness of the white fish.

From then on, the big white fish produced in Junzhou Prefecture was listed as a top-quality tribute.

In modern times, the Danjiangkou cocked bream (Junzhoufu big white fish) has won the country's first live fish geographical indication certification product.
