An ordinary traditional Yang Ying water mat includes eight plates, four pillars, ten bowls of soup, a banquet plate and an eight-treasure rice. You can eat steamed stuffed buns at will. A table needs five or six pounds of meat, and there is no chicken or fish.

Eight big plates refer to eight cold dishes, four meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes. The four kinds of meat mainly include pig's head meat, pig's liver, pig's head cake and pig's head stick, and some also use cold crisp meat to make meat dishes. The four elements are mainly seasonal vegetables and bean products, such as cucumber, tomato, yuba and cold bean curd. Four pillars refers to the main course of this table, including two braised pork (one with at least 8 pieces of meat, each weighing about half a catty), small crispy meat and large crispy meat. There are three salty soups, three sour soups, three sweet soups and one hot and sour soup in ten bowls of soup. These three kinds of salty soups are soft stew soup, sliced pork soup and shredded pork soup. The three kinds of sour soup are gold needle soup, seaweed soup and egg soup. These three sweet soups are apple soup, tremella soup and jujube peanut soup. A hot and sour soup refers to a hot and sour belly soup. Banquet dish refers to the first dish after eight cold dishes are served at a formal banquet. This dish is the essence of a table, and it is also a dish to test the chef's taste. Those who have a full meal of vegetables also have the intention of trying vegetables. An eight-treasure rice is similar to the eight-treasure rice we ate in Laba, but it is steamed in a bowl on a big cage and is very sweet.
