What exactly was the dragon tendon eaten by the ancient emperors?

The dragon tendon eaten by the ancient emperor is the spine of sturgeon.

Speaking of eating, the king of an ancient country had the luck to eat delicious food. He seldom sends things to the palace, and all the cooks in the palace can't eat them.

No matter how powerful the dish is, it can't compare with a bowl of pearl jade white jade soup, but these are all jokes. Next, I will talk about this dragon tendon.

Speaking of dragon tendons, we have to mention the Chinese sturgeon, a first-class protected animal in China.

Perhaps the environmental protection work in ancient times was better, and the ecology was definitely better than that in modern times, so sturgeon should not protect animals in ancient times. Otherwise, the king of a country will be happy and eat dragon tendons every day, and then local officials will not catch sturgeon, and the consequences will be a bit serious.

However, I have to reiterate that the Chinese sturgeon is now a protected animal in China, so please don't take it amiss.

Acipenser sinensis is a mollusk, so its bones are soft. The so-called dragon tendon is the backbone of Chinese sturgeon.

I took it out to make soup for the king of a country, and the fish was probably made into fillet soup. Although I haven't eaten it, I can imagine that cuttlefish soup tastes crispy and chewy, and it's not bad.

Chinese sturgeon is not only protecting animals, but also the health care function of "Dragon Essence" in Compendium of Materia Medica. It is said that nourishing yin and strengthening yang is a good thing to replenish the body. It is estimated that it is similar to Maca Lycium barbarum now.

Longjin decoction has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials and regulating stomach and intestines. This is similar to most aquatic organisms. It grows in water, is cold and can clear away heat. It seems to me that this dragon tendon is not as magical as the legend.

It's good that everyone knows what dragon tendon is. After all, they were only eaten by a king who liked to entertain himself in a feudal society. Don't follow the trend. We must protect the Chinese sturgeon.
