1, Peng Zu
About Peng Zu's introduction, there are both health preservation and longevity, but in addition, he also has unique skills in the field of cooking, which is the origin of his being called the originator of cooking. Peng Zu, surnamed Qian Mingkeng, is the eighth generation grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Peng Zu is the god of longevity. According to legend, he once lived in seclusion under the Manting Peak in Wuyishan, where Ruzhi drank waterfalls and hid himself for a hundred years. His two sons, Peng Wu and Peng Yi, came to settle in this mountain, so the mountain was named Wuyishan. They left Wuyi Mountain with many precious wealth of health care catering and food preservation.
Peng Zu was sealed in Dapeng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province) for being good at concocting delicious pheasant soup and curing Yaodi's anorexia. Qu Yuan wrote in "The Songs of the South and the Questions of Heaven": "What does the emperor care about when Peng Keng pours pheasants? How long will the husband last? " Wang Yi, an expert on Chu Ci in Han Dynasty, noted: "Peng Keng, Peng Zu also. Good taste, good taste, can serve the emperor, and the emperor is beautiful and delicious. " In the Song Dynasty, Hong Xingzu added: "Peng Zu's surname is Qian Mingkeng, and the emperor Zhuan Xu is great-grandson. He is good at nourishing qi, can adjust the tripod, enter the pheasant soup and seal it in Pengcheng."
2. Yi Ya
According to historical records, Yi Ya cooked for Qi Huangong, and once Huan Gong said to Yi Ya, "It's a pity that I have tasted delicious food all over the world, but I didn't eat human flesh." This was an unintentional joke, but Yi Ya kept it in mind and wanted to win the favor of Huan Gong. So he made his 4-year-old son a soup and presented it to Qi Huangong for tasting. Qi Huangong felt it was delicious and asked Yi Ya, "What kind of meat is this?" Yi Ya cried and said it was his son's meat. Yi Ya did not hesitate to cook his son in order to meet the requirements of the monarch, which was inhuman. In this way, it is even more difficult for Yi Ya to become a Chinese chef.
3. Yi Yin
Yi Yin is the first outstanding person in history who helped the Emperor to govern the country with a negative attitude. The theory of "harmony of five flavors" and "temperature theory" founded by him are still the unchangeable rules of China cooking. He "teaches the people to harmonize the five flavors, creates Chinese cooking skills, and opens a river of food for later generations", which occupies an important position in the history of China cooking culture and is honored as "the saint of cooking", "the ancestor of cooking" and "the chef saint" by China cooking circles.
Yi Yin's experience from kitchen to slaughter, according to historical records, Yi Yin was a slave at first, and was fostered in a family of other people when he was young, so that he could learn cooking skills and become a master of cooking when he grew up. He became a wise man in Shang Tang's mind, and was appointed as the prime minister, which had a great influence. There are also many words to compare Yi Yin to a skilled chef. Yi Yin suffers (Mei Cheng's Seven Fates), Yi Gong reconciles (Prince Liang Zhaoming's Seven Deeds), Yi Yin bears the tripod (Historical Records), and Yi Yin is good at cutting and cooking (Hanshu).
During the thousands of years' development of cooking technology in China, there have been many highly skilled celebrities, such as Peng Keng in the legend of Emperor Yao, Lv Wang in the Zhou Dynasty, Yi Ya in the Spring and Autumn Period, etc. These people all have their own specialties and have played a great role in promoting the development of cooking technology. Yi Yin is unique in cooking technology and its cooking theory. Cooking is just one of Yi Yin's many skills. Yi Yin is the holy place of cooking in China. Nowadays, colleagues who cook in China in China, Hongkong, China, Taiwan Province and Singapore all regard Yi Yin as China's "kitchen saint" and "cooking saint".
