Crab is autumn food, there is "autumn wind, crab feet itch" said, at this time chrysanthemum crab fat, is the delicious on the table, China's crab eating has a long history, Song Dynasty literary scholar Su Dongpo crab love life, in the "Ding Gongmo crab poems" wrote: "Ridiculous Wu Xing is too conservative, a poem in exchange for two sharp balls." He preferred a poem in exchange for two crabs (two pointed balls), the gluttony of which was visible. He also said: "Not to Lushan to live up to the sun, not to eat crabs to live up to the belly." "Lu You is also a diner who sees crabs salivating," crab fat temporarily salivated, wine green first fell old eyes. "There is also a legend about the consumption of crabs.

It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a double-clawed eight-legged, viciously shaped beetle in the rivers and lakes, which not only stole rice, but also used chelates to injure people, so it was called "clipping human worm". Later, Dayu went to Jiangnan to control the water and sent a strong man to supervise the work. The infestation of people and insects seriously hindered the construction, and the PLO came up with a method to dig a ditch on the edge of the city and pour boiling water into the ditch. The trapped insects came over and fell into the ditch and burned to death. The scalded insects were all red and emitted a delicious fragrance. Curious, the Ba Xie broke open the carapace, and the smell was even stronger. He had the audacity to take a bite, who knew that the taste was delicious, better than anything, so the pest that was feared became a household delicacy. In order to be grateful for the Pak-baptist who dared to be the first in the world, everyone added a worm word under the word for the solution, calling the clamping insect "crab", which means that the PLO conquered the clipping insect and was the first crab eater in the world.
Crabs, also known as snails, chong gong, also known as "crabs", are crustaceans, and every autumn chrysanthemum season is when the river crabs are fat. According to the measurement, river crab contains protein, fat, carbohydrate, thiamine, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium and other trace elements, a variety of amino acids and vitamins a, b1, b2, e and other components, but also contains a small amount of cholesterol, very rich in nutrition, both can be steamed, but also can cook out spicy crab, butter garlic crab, ginger crab, curry crab and other delicious dishes.
Li Shizhen wrote in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Crabs, rampaging beetles also." Males have long navels, females have umbilical groups, born in flowing water are yellow and fishy, and born in water-stopping people are colored and sweet. All crab raw cooking, salt storage, bad harvest, wine dipping, sauce dipping are all excellent products. ”
When you are feasting, do not forget the ancient rules of eating: "The taste of the drink is suitable for the disease, there is harm with the body, if it is beneficial, it will complement the body, and the harm will become a disease"; "Diet is used to maintain health, but do not know that the physical nature is suitable for taboo, mixed in, light is five internal discord, heavy is immediately prosperous disaster." "Crabs are cold in nature, and it is not advisable to eat more, so as not to be poisoned by crabs, and not to be greedy for a while, which will lead to future troubles." There is also a legend and story of Hua Tuo using perilla leaves to detoxify crabs.
It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, on the occasion of the 99 Chongyang Festival, Hua Tuo took his apprentices to a tavern in the town to drink. Only a few young people eat crabs in the competition. They chewed wildly, and after a while, the table was piled with crab shells. Hua Tuo knew that crabs were cold and would get sick if they ate too much, so they went forward to persuade each other: "I am a doctor, crabs are cold, you should not eat too much." "Those young people are eating hard, and they can hear Hua Tuo's kind words!" Hua Tuo then turned back to the tavern owner and said, "You can't sell them anymore, you will be killed if you eat too much." The tavern owner was trying to make more money from the gang, and he listened to Hua Tuo's words: he sunk his face and said, "You are less nosy, don't disturb my business!" Hua Tuo saw that the persuasion was ineffective, sighed, and had to sit down to eat his own wine.
After an hour, the young men suddenly cried out that their stomachs hurt, some of them sweated on their foreheads in pain, and they screamed and screamed at their fathers and mothers; some of them rolled on the ground with their stomachs in their hands. The tavern owner was frightened and asked Hua Tuo, "Is this crab poisonous?" Show them in your car. Hua Tuo said, "I just tried to persuade you, but you just don't listen, because if you eat too much of this crab, it will cause abdominal pain." Don't worry, I'll find some herbs to cure. Hua Tuo instructed his apprentices to go to the side of the road to pick some perilla leaves and immediately fry the soup for them to drink. These young people could not take much care of it, and each of them drank a large bowl of perilla soup, and before long their stomachs did not hurt, and thanked Hua Tuo in unison.
It can be seen that although crabs are delicious and should not be eaten, they still have certain medicinal and therapeutic value.
