During the Song Dynasty, Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, was a wu territory of the Three Kingdoms. In the spring, summer and autumn of the year, one of the dishes on the people's tables is lettuce soup. It is a soup boiled with local lettuce, and it is a famous dish with wudi Wuzhou flavor, which has a history of thousands of years.

Wuyi County is located in the upper reaches of the qiantang river and the Ou river, two major rivers. During the Song Dynasty, there were many lakes in Wuyi. Lettuce is easy to grow in the water of the lake, and the water depth is less fat and leaves, and the shallow water is more thin and leaves. The leaves are round, shaped like horseshoes, also known as called calla lilies. Lettuce is slippery by water, and the young buds are used as soup, which is better than other dishes, but the Wuyue people like to eat it.

In the past, it was full of lettuce in the lake, and now it is a national "plant panda". However, in the crater area of Niutoushan National Forest Park in Wuyi County, there are still a small amount of wild lettuce growing today. In the mid-autumn of 2021, the author personally saw a live specimen of wild lettuce in the "Wuyi County Niutoushan Botanical Herbarium" and produced a headline video of "Female, New for Niutoushan "Farming"".

Ancient historical records record that the Wuyue people loved lettuce alone.

Zhang Han, a Wu person in Wu County, Western Jin Dynasty, is a Character Ji Ying. At the time, the name was "Gangdong Infantry", and it was based on the nationality of Bi Nguyen. For many years he served as a subordinate official of Sima Jiong, the King of Qi, in Luoyang. One autumn, Zhang Han felt the autumn wind gusts in Luoyang, which seemed to bring the fragrance of the earth, and suddenly had a strong homesickness. Recalling the delicious dishes such as Wudi lettuce soup and sea bass in my hometown, I feel that the nostalgia cannot be discharged. Sigh: Life is too expensive to be true. He can hold officials for thousands of miles to ask for a knight. Therefore, he composed "Si Wu Jiang Song" and was ordered to drive back. Along the way, the song began: "When the autumn wind rises and the scenery is good." Wujiang water perch fat. Three thousand miles have not returned. Hate is hard to look up to heaven and sorrow. ”

Mo Yan has unique mountains and rivers, and he still hears about the official Changqing in the past. Mai Long is cool as a water shop, and the sea bass is delicious and called lettuce soup. Wang Sun Ke went to the spring and sent the river bridge to envy this trip. ”

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Sima Guang, the editor-in-chief of the Zizhi Tongjian, left a praise in the poem "Sending Zhangbo Town Zhihuzhou" to "Lettuce Purple Silky, Perch Snowflake Fat".

In the spring, the Song Dynasty Liu Guo's "He Du Gan and Cambodia Yun Dao" Yun: "Lettuce soup is fragrant in spring, and the grass on the deer swims on the stage." Southern Song Dynasty Luyou "Late Spring" Yun: "Soy sauce under the basket to taste lettuce, salt white open to fish." ”

In the summer, the Song Dynasty Peng Yuanxun's "Linjiang Immortal" Yun: "No guests with soup lettuce, someone to peel the lotus puff." Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You "Early Summer" Cloud: "Izumi lettuce is slippery, and the market is fresh with squid." ”

In autumn, the Song dynasty Song Qi "Early Autumn" Yun: "Where to put the crab claws in wine, I am afraid of the lettuce soup at this time." Northern Song Dynasty Zhangfu "Taihu Lake Autumn Evening" cloud: "Everywhere orange, yellow, orange and green, lettuce and sea bass." ”

The county order moved the poem, smelled the incense and chanted.
