Features: Tang Lusun has half Chinese ancestry, as his mother is the daughter of Li Heyan, who once served as the Governor of Henan, the Director of the River Conservancy Commission, and the Viceroy of Fujian and Zhejiang. Therefore, it is quite natural that Mr. Tang Lusun's collection, which focuses on the various aspects of Yanjing, can rival Zhen Jun's Tian Ji Ou Wen in this series. Tang Lusun authentically and concisely records his dining experiences, perfectly filling the void in culinary records of the era he lived in, becoming a primary source for studying the evolution of food culture during that period. Tang Pu Sun describes the flavors of cooking with words, much like the landscape descriptions in Lao Can You Ji, depicting the big drum of Hei Niu.
