The history of Fuzhou meat swallow.

According to legend, as early as the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man who retired from his hometown in Pucheng County, Fujian Province. He lived in a mountainous area and ate too many delicacies and found it boring. So, his chef picked up the thin pork leg, beat it into a paste with a wooden stick, mixed with a proper amount of sweet potato powder, rolled it into small pieces as thin as paper, cut it into small pieces three inches square, wrapped it with meat, made it into a flat food, and cooked it with soup.

The suggestion only felt that his mouth was slippery and crisp, and he even called "great, great" and asked what dessert it was. The chef just said "flat-fleshed swallow" because of its shape. After the flat meat swallow is cooked with duck eggs, duck eggs are homophonic with "restraining chaos" and "restraining waves" in Fuzhou dialect, which means "Taiping" and is also called "Taiping Yan".
