Historical origin

As for the "lion head", it is said that its "distant ancestor" was "tiaowuanzhi" (see QiminYaoshu, Zhifa No. 80) recorded in the food classic of the northern and Southern Dynasties. According to historical records, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took his concubines with him to go down the Grand Canal in a dragon boat and a thousand boats, "all the counties he passed were ordered to offer food within 500 Li. From one state to one hundred public places, the land and water are rare. Yang Guang saw the Qionghua in Yangzhou, especially the four famous sceneries of Wansong mountain, jinqiandun, ivory forest and kuihuagang. After returning to the palace, he ordered the imperial chef to make four dishes based on the above four scenes. Under the guidance of famous Yangzhou chefs, the imperial chefs finally made four dishes: mandarin fish with squirrel, shrimp cake with money, ivory chicken sticks and sunflower chopped meat. Yang guangpin was very happy after tasting them, so he gave them a banquet, and the Huaiyang dishes were poured into the court and the public. Officials, dignitaries and guests are also proud to have these four dishes, as treasures. In the Tang Dynasty, with the economic prosperity, officials and dignitaries paid more attention to diet. On one occasion, Wei Juyuan, a famous chef in the house, made these four famous dishes of Yangzhou, accompanied by delicious food, water and land. When the dish of "sunflower chop meat" was served, the sunflower heart made of the huge meat ball was as beautiful as "the head of a lion". The guests took the opportunity to persuade the guests to drink and said: "the Duke of the state of Ying has been in the army for half his life and has made great achievements in war. He should wear the seal of a lion." In order to commemorate today's grand meeting, "sunflower chop meat" is better to be renamed "lion head". Since then, Yangzhou has added the famous dish "lion's head", braised in brown sauce, steamed, popular.
