In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo was framed and deposed and demoted to a remote area on the edge of Lingnan. When Su Dongpo was passing through Xiangyi (present-day Sui County) on his way to Lingnan, he stayed in Qianming Temple due to heavy rain and was warmly received by The Abbot Huitong Zen Master of Qianming Temple. During the banquet, Su Dongpo drank wine and tasted the delicious food of Xiangyi, and praised the dish of Xiangyi smearing pig the most.
