Leitian tofu is a kind of delicious food, also known as Gaoping roasted tofu. This way of cooking tofu is a unique traditional food in Gaoping, which has a history of more than 2 years. It is said that in the battle of Changping in 26 BC, because Zhao Kuo was defeated by Qin Jiang and Bai Qi, all 4, Zhao soldiers were killed by Bai Qi. Because of Bai Qi's brutal behavior, everyone hated him, so he took tofu as Bai Qi meat and ate it by boiling it with fire to vent his anger. I didn't expect people to feel fresh and have a charm after eating, so the way of cooking tofu in Gaoping gradually spread in Gaoping.

Now, "burning tofu" is not only popular in Gaoping, but also often used to entertain guests. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, when Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai led the Eighth Route Army through Gaoping, local people made "tofu-burning" to express their condolences to their soldiers. After liberation, when many party and state leaders came to Gaoping to inspect their work, they all tried Gaoping's "burning tofu".
