History of dishes

It is said that Dongpo meat was created by Su Dongpo (a native of Meishan, Sichuan Province), a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was first originated in Meishan, Sichuan Province. The prototype is the meat given back by Xuzhou, which is one of the "four treasures of Dongpo" in Xuzhou.

It is said that in April of 1077, Su Shi went to be the magistrate of Xuzhou. On July 7, the Yellow River burst in the area of Caocan village in Chanzhou. On August 21, the flood besieged Xuzhou, and the water level was as high as 28 feet. Su Shi, who died with his own body, led the forbidden army to fight against floods and build embankments to protect the city. After more than 70 days and nights of hard work, Xuzhou City was finally saved. All the people in the city were jubilant. In order to thank him for his good leadership, breathing with the people of Xuzhou, they slaughtered pigs and sheep one after another, and went to the government with wine and vegetables. Su Shi could not refuse to accept it. After taking it, he personally instructed his family to make braised pork and gave it back to the people who participated in the flood fighting. After eating, the common people all felt that the meat was fat but not greasy, crisp, fragrant and delicious, and they all called it "gift meat". Since then, "huigei meat" has spread around Xuzhou and become a traditional famous dish in Xuzhou. This is recorded in Xuzhou literature and history materials, Xuzhou scenery records and Xuzhou ancient and modern famous dishes.

On February 1st, 1080 A.D., Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou as deputy envoy of tuanlian. He opened up wasteland and cultivated it himself, so he called it "Dongpo Jushi". This is the origin of "Dongpo meat". During his stay in Huangzhou, he personally cooked braised pork and wrote his experience into the poem of eating pork. Sushi's braised pork cooked in Xuzhou and Huangzhou was only influential in the local area, but not well-known in the whole country. The really famous braised pork is Su Shi's "Dongpo meat" in Hangzhou for the second time.

On January 3, 1089, Su Shi came to Hangzhou, where he had been away for 15 years. In May and June of the fifth year of Yuanyou, heavy rain continued in Western Zhejiang, Taihu Lake flooded, and large areas of crops were flooded. As Su Shi took effective measures as soon as possible, the people in Western Zhejiang passed the most difficult period. He organized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake and build embankments and bridges, which changed the old appearance of the West Lake into a new one. The people in Hangzhou are very grateful for Su Shi's good deeds, and everyone praises him as a wise official. It's said that he liked pork most when he was in Xuzhou and Huangzhou, so when it comes to the new year's day, people will carry the wine to pay him a new year's visit. After Su Shi received it, he instructed his family to cut the meat into cubes, cook it red and crisp, and then distribute it to the migrant workers who participated in dredging the West Lake. After they ate it, they were all called "Dongpo meat".

Su Shi's braised meat was first created in Xuzhou and further improved in Huangzhou. It was well-known throughout the country in Hangzhou
