Extended information:
Braised pork, also known as Dongpo pork.
Dongpo Pork is rumored to have been created by the Northern Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo (a native of Meishan, Sichuan Province) (in fact, it was created by his concubine Wang Wangyun (Wang created it to improve Su's diet when he was relegated to Huangzhou)), and its earliest origin was in Meishan, Sichuan Province. The prototype was Xuzhou's gift meat, one of Xuzhou's "Four Treasures of Dongpo".
On February 1 of the third year of the Yuanfeng era (1080 A.D.), Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou as a deputy regimental trainer. He opened his own land, and called this place "Dongpo Jushi". This is the origin of "Dongpo meat".
During his stay in Huangzhou, Su Shi cooked braised pork with his own hands and wrote about his experience in a poem called "Poem on Eating Pork". The braised pork cooked by Su Shi in Xuzhou and Huangzhou was only influential locally, but was not very famous nationwide. The real name and national fame of braised pork is Su Shi's second in Hangzhou, "Dongpo Pork".
