2. History is different

T: According to historical records, "It is said that when the city was built in the Tang Dynasty, it was freezing in the cold, which made it a much-told story." It is said that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the coastal areas were often looted by pirates. At that time, the secretariat of Weichi Gong sent troops to build a city to guard against theft. School starts on the 14th day of the first month, and people celebrate the Lantern Festival as usual. The pirates took the opportunity to land from Taizhou Bay, and the officers and men guarding the city were building a city to suppress thieves. Coupled with the freezing weather, the progress of building the city is even slower.

The local people came up with the idea of using Gougou new wine as water, adding all kinds of vegetables, meat and seafood into granules, and mixing them with powder to make the soup, in order to thank the officers and men who built the city. The officers and men drank the trough soup, which was delicious and kept out the cold, and the progress was greatly accelerated. Since then, the custom of drinking trough soup on the fourteenth day of the first month of each year has been passed down to this day.

Porridge: Porridge in China was mainly used for food 4000 years ago, and was first used as medicine 2500 years ago. The Biography of Historical Records of Bian Que and Cang Gong records that Chunyu Kun, a famous doctor in the Western Han Dynasty, treated Wang Qi's disease with "Hodge porridge"; Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the Han Dynasty, wrote in Treatise on Febrile Diseases: Taking Guizhi Decoction for a period of time and drinking a liter of hot porridge to help medicine are powerful examples.

3. Different ingredients

Soup: As a thick soup, it is mainly mixed with meat, vegetables and thickening, and noodles can also be added to make noodle soup, as well as sweet bean paste and sweets made of sugar. By using a lot of thickening and mixing materials, the soup is improved. Almost all the ingredients are meat, which is very heavy in taste and high in calories. This is called vegetable soup.

Porridge: It is better to cook porridge with raw rice than directly with rice.
