Poems praising China cuisine!

In the Spring and Autumn Annals of the State of Lu in the Warring States Period BC, it was recorded that "the beauty of harmony is Yang Pu's ginger". Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem, "Bamboo leaves the boat in ten days, and the river enters Yu Ri". Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem, "Xinjin has no leeks, and the color is yellow as a goose. The meat in Dongmen is more exotic and fat." Praise Sichuan's rich specialties. These unique dishes are not only rich in nutrition, but also excellent in dishes, which provide a special and rich material basis for the formation and development of Sichuan cuisine.

When it comes to Dongpo meat, you can't help but mention Su Dongpo. Anyone with a little knowledge of literature and history knows that Mr. Dongpo is famous all over the world: he is one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties; Created a school of wild song ci, and called it "Su Xin" with Xin Qiji; Calligraphy and painting are also unique.

When he was exiled to Lingnan, he also wrote the poem "300 lychees a day, even if you are a Lingnan person". Such a person who loves and enjoys life is destined to be a natural gourmet. It is not surprising that he has made some achievements in the art of cooking. When he was demoted to Huangzhou, he often cooked in person, especially braised pork. He once wrote a poem to share his cooking experience: "Wash the pot, no water, no smoke." . Don't rush him when he is ripe, he will be beautiful when the heat is enough. Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt. If you refuse to eat, the poor can't cook. Get up in the morning and play two bowls, so full that you can't care. "

However, it is said that it was an interesting thing that happened when he returned to Hangzhou as a magistrate to cook Dongpo meat named after him. At that time, the West Lake had declined because it had not been rectified for a long time. At that time, the satrap wanted to waste the lake to make farmland. At the critical moment, Su Dongpo was once again ordered to be the prefect of Hangzhou. He believes that "there is a West Lake in Hangzhou, just as there are men's eyes", which can never be abolished. After he took office, he mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers to dredge the West Lake, and built a long embankment with the excavated silt to make the beautiful scenery of the West Lake reappear. The long dike built by this pile was called "Su Causeway" and later became "Xiao Chun, Su Causeway", the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. Otherwise, Su Shi described in "Drinking Rain after Chu Qing on the Lake" that "the water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy; Compared with West Lake and West Lake, it is always appropriate to make up for it. " Can only be missed by people.
