Legend has it that crab shells have been produced in the Three Kingdoms. In the late Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, he thought that Liu Bei, the forerunner, had left the Kingdom shortly after he recruited relatives from the kingdom. Sun Shangxiang was forced to stay in his mother's home by Sun Quan. Later, sun and Liu each called the emperor, and the two sides were at war. Liu Bei was defeated and died in the White Emperor city. When Mrs. Sun heard that she missed her husband and wife, she was so painful that she boarded the Lingyun Pavilion in Beigu Mountain, looked to the West and sacrificed herself. Zhuge Liang was too busy to pay attention to the sacrifice of the spirits. While still alive, Zhuge Liang sent people to the East Wu Dynasty to offer sacrifices, but he wished.

Ge Liang summoned his lieutenant Wu old man who followed Liu Bei to the East Wu Dynasty to pay homage to his wife Sun. Wu asked him what to bring to the memorial. Zhu Geliang said that he would pay homage to his steamed bread with meat. When Old Wu heard this, he knew that this was a sacrifice offered by former prime ministers when they were crossing the Lushui River, instead of killing any living creatures, they used dough and meat instead of human heads.

Old Wu obeyed the orders and said goodbye to the Prime Minister. He sailed to Jingkou in Dongwu and told the local officials that he had come to pay homage to Mrs. Sun. When the governor listened to it, he did not dare to neglect it. He arranged for Wu old man to stay in the post office.

After staying, Wu old man looked for flour and he chopped and chopped the pork with a knife. I also thought that when my wife was alive, she liked eating crabs best, cooked some crabs, peeled crab yellow and crab meat into pork stuffing and stirred them to make fillings.

On the second day, some local officials and their attendants held a memorial ceremony with Wu Lao. When he arrived at the Bank of the Beigu Mountains and rivers, old Wu asked people to set up incense cases, light incense and candles, stick forty-nine meat steamed buns, and take out the memorial inscriptions written by the Prime Minister. When we look at the drum shaped meat buns, we do not know what they are. Wu old man, after reading the funeral oration, threw these things into the river.

After the memorial ceremony, we asked Wu old man. What was left in the river just now? Old Wu smiled, so he said mysteriously that this was Mrs. Sun's favorite food when she was alive. It was "crab yellow hot bag." Old Wu dropped a few teeth and spoke a little unconventionally. People listened to the word "hot" as a "soup", and they echoed the word "crab yellow soup bag".
