Yipin pot is a traditional Han food that is often eaten in winter in Huizhou mountainous area, belonging to the category of hot pot. There are many stories about the origin of Yipin Pot. According to legend, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty suddenly visited Shangshufu, where there were many delicious dishes. But Emperor Jiajing was tired of eating and lost his appetite, so he asked, Ai Qing's hometown is Huizhou. Can you cook a Huizhou home-cooked dish for me to taste? Bi Qiang sent a message to the kitchen that the chef was not from Huizhou and dared not do it.

After eating, the emperor wiped his greasy lips and asked, What's the name of this dish? The peasant woman said: The peasant woman was afraid that the two officers were hungry, so she just cooked a pot in a hurry. What else can she order? The emperor said: this pot of cooked food has an indecent name. This is a famous pot of Anhui cuisine. Afterwards, the peasant woman realized that it was the current emperor who received her that night. For a time, the peasant woman became the red man of Lingbei.
