Speaking of "Dongpo Meat", there is another interesting story. Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, offended the emperor in the second year of Yuanfeng (AD 1079) and was demoted to Huangzhou. He often cooked by himself and "tasted" with his friends. After Song Shenzong's death, when Su Dongpo was transferred to Hangzhou as an official again, the West Lake was already flooded with weeds. He mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers, cleared farmland, dredged lakes and harbors, and built a long dam with dredged silt, which was later called Su Gong Dike. In order to praise Su Dongpo's merits, ordinary people gave Su Dongpo pork during the Spring Festival as a token of their intention. When Su Dongpo received the pork, he told his family to cut it into cubes, cook it with his own cooking method, and send the wine to every household according to the roster of migrant workers. However, when family members cook, they interpret "sending with wine" as "burning with wine". However, the braised pork cooked is more crispy and delicious, and the foodies are full of praise. Since then, it has been named "Dongpo Meat."
