Three Treasures of Taihu Lake ....................................................................................................................................................................... whitebait whitebait, commonly known as noodle fish, or noodle fish, is several inches long and slightly round. According to legend, the king of Wu ate too much food and abandoned it in the water. It became a fish, which was also called a remnant fish in ancient times (the name of whitebait was because it swam in the lake, such as a silver arrow leaving the string). It can be seen that whitebait in Taihu Lake has a long history of development as a precious edible fish species in China. There are four kinds of whitebait in Taihu Lake, namely whitebait, whitebait, whitebait and whitebait. The first two are larger and the last two are smaller. The whole fish is white and transparent, with soft bones and no scales, except for two eyes with black spots. The spawning period is concentrated from mid-May to mid-June every year, which is the peak season for fishing. The poem by Wang Shucheng, a poet in Ming Dynasty, "When the ice is exhausted by the stream, the whitebait runs, and the white jade floats, there is no need to explore the inner point" is a compliment to whitebait. In Song Dynasty, Zhang Xian's poem "After beginning of spring, whitebait is not as good as perch", and whitebait and perch are listed as treasures among fish. Whitebait is rich in nutrition. According to the analysis, every100g of whitebait contains 8.2g of protein, 0.3g of fat,1.4g of carbohydrate, 258mg of calcium,102mg of phosphorus, 0.5mg of iron, 4 1 kcal of calories and vitamin B.

At that time, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, had fun all day because of his beauty, and his life was extravagant, which ruined the wind of loyalty. Wu Jun didn't want to fight for him. The Vietnamese army won favorable fighter planes and won one victory after another. However, due to being blocked by the surface of Taihu Lake, the capital of Wu could not be conquered, and the war was deadlocked. Just as the Vietnamese army was about to run out of rations and wanted to retreat, suddenly around the Vietnamese warships, groups of small fish floated up-that is Mei Yan. The Vietnamese army got food, so its morale was greatly boosted, and it quickly invaded the capital of Wu (now Suzhou) and destroyed Wu. According to legend, the Mei Mei in Taihu Lake was changed by Fu Cha, the king of Wu, pouring the remaining meat and bones into Taihu Lake. Because it is longer than whitebait, fishermen in Taihu Lake are used to calling Meimei Brother Whitebait.
