There are many rare and exotic beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but from a careful excavation, it is not difficult to find that many of them are not fictional, such as the squid, which is known as a delicacy in both ancient and modern times, and can only be supplied with six per year during the Qianlong period, and is now listed as an endangered animal.
The wagtail is a taste of river freshness, but also a taste of seafood. The foodies of the Classic of Mountains and Seas shelved the puffers and the tuna together, saying that there is a Mencius Mountain under the sky, and there is a green yang water under the mountain, "among which there are many birds and tuna." The Book of Verses also joined in the fun, saying, "The squid has hair." ”
In fact, tuna is also a tuna. Li Shizhen said that the sturgeon is a sturgeon. And tuna is sturgeon. It can be seen that the tuna is only a kind of tuna.
When the Erya describes the sturgeon, it speaks to the sturgeon. The nose is shorter than the tuna, the mouth is long under the chin, there are no scales, and the flesh is yellow, so the people of Jiangdong call it "yellow fish".
However, although the squid is also seafood, it really has nothing to do with the well-known yellow croaker and small yellow croaker. According to the Erya, if you go to this kind of sturgeon (sturgeon), it can only be a sturgeon. From this, I guess, the yellow and the yellow of the yellow fish are the same thing.
There is a canon that also mentions the name of the fish. Nowadays, people know that this fish is born in Heilongjiang, Ussuri and Songhua rivers. Just the word "Jiang", jiangdong mentioned in "Erya", can also refer to here.
It is said that in the early Qing Dynasty, when the earlier foodie head hit it back, he was still stunned, why, so big, looking old and strange, I don't know what kind of monster it is, and I don't know if it is poisonous.
Everyone did not dare to take a mouthful, so they thought of the qianlong emperor, the first foodie under the heavens, and hurriedly took a scooter to send this monster into the palace. The self-tester has tested it, and there is no poison. This was relieved, and sent to the imperial dining room to wait.
After a while, it became a seafood and was served to Qianlong Ye. Grandpa opened his mouth, "Well, it's not delicious." "Shi Xing dafa said that it looked good, small eyes, long body, no scales, a nose like a long halberd, and a head like a steel helmet." Well, delicious. "Be an emperor, what?" No name? It's called "Squid".
This fish, at the time, could catch very little. According to the Jilin Year Tribute, there are three, and the Ningguta Year Tribute is also three, which can be seen and rare. However, no matter how rare it is, it is indispensable for the nobles to eat.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", there is Wu Jin Xiaojin offering "sturgeon fish", which is about to be eaten by the royal family, according to the Gengchen Ben and qi Ning Ben, a total of two.
In fact, puffers are everywhere. The "Continuation Chronicle" says that the sturgeon-like sturgeon is "produced by small rivers and seas". The "Mountain Hall Examination" also says that the sturgeon (鲔) is "all" in all the great rivers and lakes.
The largest river is the Yangtze River. There is a living ancestor in the Yangtze River, the Chinese sturgeon, which is also a sturgeon, to be precise, a tuna. In fact, this is the crane in "Erya", the Jiangdong in the world's impression, which is originally the Yangtze River.
For example, Zheng Banqiao has "Zhou Lang is young, is majestic and has fallen, and Jiangdong people are masters". This fish was eaten wildly, and now it is going to be shot. Domesticated can be achieved, suitable for steaming, eat more can be beauty, eliminate spots and wrinkles, do not have acne.
This guy's bone marrow has a saying, called dragon tendons, as the saying goes, "shark wings, sturgeon tendons", eat dragon tendons, replenish blood and qi, strengthen kidney appetizers, prevent osteoporosis.
There are also many names, and the Mengyuan court diet recipe "Drinking and Eating is about to be" is called the strangest, A Ba'er Kuyu. It is said that it is one or two inches long, fat yellow flesh thick, no scales, stop there is crisp, people by the Haihe River take its swim bladder and wine, can cure tetanus.
According to the Hai river, the Aba'er Kuyu should be a fish. At that time, there was a foodie, whose name was not very easy to remember, called Liu Ha La Baturu, who had seen one of the largest kinds of Aba'er Kuyu, which was thousands of pounds.
This fish is only eaten by emperors, nobles, and foreign guests, and there is also a kind of beggar mackerel, which is also produced in Liaodong, which is smaller than the Abaer Kuyu, but it is also a falcon. I just don't know if it's sashimi or steamed. However, according to the customs of the Yuan Dynasty, there are more barbecues.
The Chronicle of foreign objects in the sea mentions another kind of fish, the wax fish. Wax, should be the skin color. There is also a kind of candle fish along the coast, which can make candles, which should not be the same thing.
The body shape is different, the bird is the eight snake spears, and the candle fish is only two slaps. The "Chronicle of Foreign Objects in the Sea" also mentions that another name for this kind of fish, "Han Guang", should also be the skin color, similar to the cold light like a sword.
"Liezi" has "I have three swords, one contains light". "Linhai Foreign Object Chronicle" is about the coastal area of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, geographically, I guess this fish is about the Pacific sturgeon, this fish in spring and autumn, will swim from the sea to the river.
Lu Jie's "Grass, Wood, Insects and Fish Sparse" mentions that a kind of fish in March rises against the water from the sea, resembling a dragon, with armor on its back and abdomen, and more than a thousand pounds for the big one, which should be this kind of "light".
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu's foodies liked to steam it as "meat soup", or to make "pickled fish", and also to make squid.
Li Shizhen said that this fish is actually extremely lazy, likes to lie in the cracks of the rocks with rushing water, open its mouth, and wait for the crabs and fish to run in by themselves. Father and son nature, the young son of this fish also likes to lie on the bottom of the river, motionless. So the ancients gave it another name, called the squid.
The fish is the fish that inhabit the water. Because it is a sturgeon, the "Jade Chapter" is straightforward, "Tuna also." "Its nose is long, and "Erya" gave it a nickname, the proboscis fish.
According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Bo Ya was drumming and playing the piano, he listened to the beasts, including this kind of stupid fish, which rose from the bottom of the river in a daze, and has since forgotten about the rivers and lakes.
Bo Ya, Daxian also. I don't know when it became another name for daxian, and the Chu Ci has "whale and bird diving, from shrimp to shrimp." "It is said that the wise men will hide in the misery of the mountains.
Of course, when the sages are passionate, they can also learn from Su Dongpo's "water bugs are violent, riding on the sun of Nagisa, shrews and squids, and accumulating vertical and horizontal" temperament.
Su Dongpo should be fond of eating eels, he once said, "Corporal Drunken Wingmen, miscellaneous is difficult to be virtuous... That's because of jiang's beauty, tired of heaven and earth... Andewan is a pond, raising this yokohama sea turtle. ”
This fish is also deeply liked by other famous foodies, Li Yu compared it to knife fish, "eating sturgeon". Zhang Dai's "Tao An Dream Memories" uses it as an offering.
Cao Xueqin used it as a "lotus root sturgeon" to supplement Lin Daiyu, which was on the menu of the "Jiangnan Feast" when Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, and it was in the "Full Table of Manhan" on empress dowager Cixi's table.
Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight Yans of Qin Huai, is the supreme master of eel making, and her dish is "drunken clams like peach blossoms, drunken sturgeon bones like white jade, oil pomfret like sturgeon, shrimp pine like dragon whiskers, baked rabbit pheasant like cake bait." "Just listening to the description, it's about a bit of a fascination.
