According to legend, a long time ago, a man named Huazi went to a village in Changshu County and begged for food along the way. One day, he happened to get a chicken and wanted to kill it for cooking, but there was neither cooker nor seasoning. He came to the foot of Yushan Mountain, killed the chicken, took out its internal organs, coated it with yellow mud and firewood, simmered the coated chicken in the fire, peeled off the mud shell when it was cooked, and removed the chicken feathers and mud shell together to reveal the chicken. About 100 years ago, according to this legend, the "Mountain View Garden" restaurant in Yushan Resort in the northwest of Changshu County, refined the chicken by removing the rough and selecting the fine.
