Features: The glutton is a term despised by people, but Su Shi once called himself a glutton and wrote "The of an Old Glutton": "It gathers the finest delicacies to nourish my old gluttony." From then on, 'old glutton' became a nickname for literati who pursued food yet maintained elegance. These literati were not only skilled in appreciating cuisine but also included those who excelled in cooking, such as "Dongpo Pork," "Pan Fish," and "Tan Family Cuisine," which are too numerous to list. Let's set aside the ancient ones; modern masters like Liang Shiqiu, Wang Shichang, Wang Zengqi, and the author of this book, Zhao Heng, are all masters in this field.
