Features: This is a feast that transcends time, filled with amusing culinary anecdotes, legendary delicacies, lesser-known "food diaries" of famous figures, and picturesque landscapes of China. Let Zhang Ailing, Xu Zhimo, Yu Dafu, and Emperor Qianlong take us on a journey to savor culinary legends. Zhang Ailing, Xu Zhimo, Lu Xun, and Emperor Qianlong are names that are household words. But who has ever thought about what these famous figures ate in their daily lives? As the saying goes in the West, "You are what you eat," and eating habits faithfully reflect personal character and living environment. Driven by this idea, the author Zhou Fen-na embarked on field trips to the hometowns of these famous figures, tasting local specialties and signature dishes, coupled with her own passion for history and literature, ultimately completing this work that combines famous figures, history, literature, scenic spots, and cuisine. Through the delicious and aromatic dishes on the table, it offers readers an interesting perspective to understand these historical and modern figures, more engaging than simple biographies of famous people or food reviews.
