The popularity has once again satisfied the appetites of foodies. The show gives us a new way to interpret civilization: taste. A nation that pays attention to taste is a nation with taste, and a nation with taste is a nation with humanity.

1. Tuoba_, Emperor Daowu of Wei

Reason for selection: I love mutton soup.

A bowl of mutton soup became Mao Xiuzhi. After Tuoba defeated Xia Guo, Mao Xiuzhi, who was good at cooking, was captured. Later, he found an opportunity to stew a bowl of mutton soup for Cui Hao, the minister. Cui Hao tasted it and thought it was the best in the world, so he recommended Mao Xiuzhi to Tuoba Tao. After Tuoba Tao ate Mao Xiuzhi's delicacies, he nodded in praise, so he appointed Mao Xiuzhi as an official and became the emperor's personal chef. From then on, Mao Xiu's official career was smooth sailing, and he later became Shangshu and Guanglu doctor, until he reached Nanjun.

2. Liu Yilong, Emperor Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty

Reason for selection: I love oranges.

Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty was seriously ill, so he asked his younger brother Liu Yikang to be the acting emperor. Therefore, if you give a gift, you should divide the gift into two parts, give the top quality to Liu Yikang, and leave the inferior quality to Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen once ate an orange and found that it was small and astringent. After Liu Yikang saw it, he brought some big and sweet ones to Emperor Wen from home.

Reason for selection: I like cooked meat.

When Tang Suzong was still a prince, he often had meals with his father Xuanzong. Once cooked meat was prepared in the royal kitchen. There was cooked leg of lamb. The emperor asked Su Zong to separate the legs of the lamb, so Su Zong cut the legs open and wiped the mutton fat off his hands with bread. The emperor was very unhappy when he saw it. Su Zong wiped his hands and ate the cake. Tang Xuanzong was very satisfied again. He said to Su Zong: "Life now is hard-won, so cherish it."

6. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin

Reason for selection: I love sheep liver.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly got up in the middle of the night. At this time, he wanted to eat mutton liver, but he hesitated and refused to give the order. The servants on the left and right looked confused and said, "Please tell us what you want, and we will definitely do it!" Later, Zhao Kuangyin's witty answer once again showed his unique cuteness. He replied: "I tell you, you kill a sheep every day!"

7. Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty

Reason for selection: He likes to eat boiled mutton.

The invention of mutton hot pot is related to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan led his army on an expedition. He thought the food was too unpalatable and wanted to eat mutton stew. Then the cook slaughtered the mutton and selected the mutton to cook. When the enemy suddenly attacked, the cook cut the mutton into thin slices, stirred it in the pot, fished it out, put some ingredients on it, and served it to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's stomach growled, so he got dressed and went into battle after eating. Soon, Kublai Khan was victorious. After returning to North Korea, Kublai Khan did not forget the chef's contribution and asked him to make it again. He also said that the taste was too bland and that more ingredients should be added. After eating, the civil and military minister gave a thumbs up. Kublai Khan was very happy and named this new dish "shabu-shabu mutton".

He exclaimed: "With five taels of silver, it is enough to buy a big box at Donghua Gate."

Reason for selection: I like papaya.

Emperor Tongzhi once asked a young eunuch to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a note approved by his imperial pen to get 500 taels of silver to buy papayas to eat. Ronglu, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came to ask: "The papayas needed by each palace are supplied by specialized departments, so you don't have to spend so much money!"

If we look back at the past civilizations, except for those mottled ancient Paintings, dark yellow ancient books, should taste be used as a tool? Using today's ingredients in classical cooking allows the romantic feelings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to pass through your tongue affectionately, and then penetrate into your perceptual world through your taste buds. Is this nostalgia more vivid?
