according to legend, crab roe dumplings were made in the Three Kingdoms. In the late Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, he thought that Liu Bei, the late master, had left Soochow for an excuse shortly after he got married in Soochow, and Sun Shangxiang was forcibly kept in her family by Sun Quan. Later, Sun and Liu proclaimed themselves emperors, and the two sides fought. Liu Bei was defeated and died in Baidicheng. When Mrs. Sun heard the news, she missed her husband and wife's friendship and was in pain. She boarded the Lingyun Pavilion in Beigushan Mountain, looked west and sacrificed, and threw herself into the river. Zhuge Liang was too busy going out to war to pay homage to the spirit. While he was still alive, he sent people to Dongwu to pay homage and fulfilled his wish.

Zhuge Liang summoned Wu Laotou, the captain who followed Liu Bei to Dongwu, and asked him to go to Dongwu to pay homage to Mrs. Sun. Wu Laotou asked what to bring to the memorial, and Zhuge Liang said to pay homage with meat steamed bread. When Wu Laotou heard this, he knew that this was a sacrifice made by the Prime Minister when crossing the Lushui River, instead of killing creatures, he used dough to wrap meat instead of human heads.

Wu took orders, said goodbye to the Prime Minister, and took a boat to Jingkou, Dongwu, and told the local officials that he had come to pay homage to Mrs Sun. Hearing this, the magistrate did not dare to neglect, so he arranged for Wu to stay in the posthouse.

after staying, Mr. Wu found flour and chopped the pork with a knife and mixed the ingredients. I also thought that when my wife was alive, she liked crabs best, and she cooked some crabs, peeled off crab roe and crab meat, and stirred them in pork stuffing to make stuffing.

The next day, some local officials and followers paid a memorial service with Mr. Wu. After arriving at the river of Beigushan Mountain, Wu Laotou asked people to set up incense tables, light incense and candles, stick forty-nine meat steamed buns, and read out the eulogy written by the Prime Minister. When you look at the bulging meat steamed bread, I don't know what it is. I saw that after reading the eulogy, Mr. Wu threw these things into the river.

after the memorial service, everyone asked Mr. Wu. What was thrown into the river just now? Wu smiled and mysteriously said that this was Mrs. Sun's favorite food when she was alive, and it was "crab yellow hot buns". Wu's head lost a few teeth, and his speech was a bit irrelevant. Everyone listened to the word "hot" as a word "soup", and echoed that it was "crab yellow soup packets".
