The origin of the name of the dish

The prestigious banquet "Manchu and Han Dynasty Full Banquet" was originally created by Ruan Yuan, a minister of the nine provinces, an elder of the three dynasties, and a generation of great Confucianism.

In addition to helping Ruan Yuan turn over ancient papers, study cangs, and lean stones, these literati also had delicious food and music. In addition, there are famous chefs and chefs inside, and there are elegant tastes outside, and Ruan Yuan at this time is constantly renovating in terms of food. During his tenure as governor of Liangguang, he developed a table based on the cuisine, which was not as large as the scale of the cuisine, but far beyond the level of the general market. Because this kind of table can take into account the habits of Manchu and Han people, it is called "Manchu and Han full seat". When Miss Kong married Ruan Yuan, Miss Kong was accompanied by four chefs. Each of these chefs has a unique skill and is well versed in the secrets of Confucian cooking. Ruan Yuan's career was smooth sailing later, and he did it like the door couplet he wrote in his own book: "The elders of the three dynasties, the ministers of the nine provinces". Due to the successive important ministers and abundant wealth, Ruan Yuan reused a large number of Qing guests.

It can be seen that the "Manchu and Han full seats" that are circulating today began with Ruan Yuan. For a moment, Yuyan's thoughts crossed a streamer, and she drifted so far away for so long, and she unconsciously wanted to laugh.
