"Flax cakes like Kyoto, crispy noodles are freshly baked. Sent to the hungry Ambassador Yang, taste as if there is no support.
Bai Juyi was a famous poet of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. His position at the imperial court was that of a Hanlin scholar. At the age of 44, Bai Juyi began to work as a magistrate in other places, serving as Sima of Jiangzhou (江州, in modern Jiujiang, Jiangxi).
In 818, when he was promoted from Sima of Jiangzhou to Zhongzhou Prefecture (present-day Zhongxian County, Chongqing), he was very happy, and personally made a piece of flax cake and sent someone to give it to Yang Jingzhi, the assassin of Wanzhou (present-day Wanzhou District, Chongqing), with the seven-sentence poem he wrote, "Sending Hu Cake Yang Wanzhou". The poem tells Yang Zhishi that his technique of cooking flax cakes was learned from the capital Chang'an, which has the characteristics of crispy noodles and oily aroma, and invites you, the hungry Ambassador Yang, to taste them, and it does not look like the flax cakes sold by Fuxingfang outside AnfuMen in the west of chang'an Imperial City.
Zhong County is more than a hundred kilometers away from Wanzhou, the road will not be broken, and it will definitely be cold. It was cold and could be hot. People are outside, homesick, hometown snacks are the most comforting. The two should have a close relationship in Chang'an, and unforgettable Chang'an's internet red snack: flax cake.
The poem is marked with a sentence, and it looks like "oil". Jokes, don't criticize! Hey hey hey.
