2 Extended introduction?

Not only that, the reason why people are interested in The fish is so popular that it is customary to call it the fish. According to legend, during the Helu period of King Wu more than 2,500 years ago (i.e. 505 BC), several sandbanks in the East China Sea were occupied by the barbarians. The Yi soldiers invaded the territory of Wu, and King Helu of Wu personally ordered his troops to go out. The Yi people were frightened and fled. The King of Wu took advantage of the victory and pursued him to the East China Sea. He and the Yi soldiers each held a corner of the sandbank and faced each other. The stalemate lasted for nearly a month but failed to win. Suddenly A storm broke out, and the food and grass at sea could not be replenished. Both armies at the confrontation suffered from the loss of food due to wind and sand. The king of Wu then burned incense and prayed to heaven. After praying, he saw a strong east wind and sparkling silver waves rolling in from the sea, surrounding Wu's army, which was surprising. The king of Wu ordered his soldiers to fish up the fish, but they found silver fish, namely the giant catfish. So the three armies were hungry and exhausted, but the Yi soldiers could not catch anything, so they were defeated. After the Wu army returned to the court after victory, Helu met with the ministers, recounted the adventures of the defeat, recalled the delicious fish in the sea, and then asked his subordinates, "Where are the remaining fish in the East China Sea?" He replied: "The rest were dried and carried back." When King Wu tasted it again, he realized that the beauty of dried fish was even better than that of fresh fish. Therefore, it is called "鲞", which is a delicious fish. Later, it was written as "鲞" in common language, which also generally refers to dried fish exposed in the sun. Fan Chengda's "Wu Jun Zhi* Magazine" of the Song Dynasty recorded that "because of the beauty of the calligraphy, there is a fish under the water, which is the word "鲲"; in "Zhengzi Tong" it is also called "鲲, the original 鲲, and 鲲 is the popular writing". It is also described in books such as "Cihai" and "Modern Chinese Dictionary".

In Lu Xun's "Revenge (1)", "鲞头" refers to fish cut open and dried, that is, dried fish (mainly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas).
