Features: Tofu is one of China's "national treasures," with a long history. The Han Dynasty tomb murals unearthed in Taohuting, Henan County in the 1960s depict tofu workshops, including processes such as soaking beans, grinding, filtering, coagulating, and pressing into tofu. This indicates that tofu already existed in China as early as the Han Dynasty. Coincidentally, the legend of Emperor Qianlong visiting Jiangnan and eating "spinach and tofu" (and bestowing it with a title) is mentioned in the book Food Fate by Gu Kemin, a council member of the China Food Research Society, Director of Huaxi Golden Pagoda Hotel, and former Director of the Reception Department of the Zhenjiang Municipal Government. This book introduces readers to the legends, anecdotes, dish names, and cultural aspects of tofu through links, aiming to provide recipes for chefs, cooking enthusiasts, and housewives, while also serving as a leisurely read for everyone.
