Lu You, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, what is his attitude towards food?

In the Song Dynasty, besides Su Shi (Su Dongpo), there was such a great poet who marked food in his poems. He is Lu You, a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. So today, let's discuss Lu You's attitude towards food.

There is a sentence at the beginning of Su Shi's Gourmet Fu: "I can play the drum knife and cook it elegantly. Water wants a new pot to be clean, and fire is evil (Jiang Youjiu does not change the fire, and the fire is blue). " It can be said that Lu You is not only a writer, but also a superb gourmet. The reason for this is that Lu You has written several poems praising food, and he has cooked food several times himself. Even if the old-fashioned teeth have fallen off, we should "sigh that I am failing, and the chestnut will burn to cure the night hunger."

In addition, according to historical records, Lu You was an official in Sichuan and Sichuan all his life. In the eighth year of Dadao (1 172), he served as the counselor of the appeasement department of Chengdufu Road, and in the fifth year of Xichun (1 178), he was elected as Fuzhou and Jiangxi to promote the Changping tea and salt business in Dongguan. In the past six years, Lu You knows the cooking skills of Shandong cuisine like the back of his hand, such as Xinjin leek yellow, which is as white as three feet. Another example is steamed chicken in Chengdu. "Steamed chicken is the most famous, and beauty is not fish and crab." Another example is the vegetables in Xindu. "first frost cuisine is light and sweet, and the seedlings will not fade in spring."

It is worth mentioning that Lu You's love and pursuit of food could not stop even in his poor old age. Even popular vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, Cai Jie, lettuce and bamboo shoots, are full of enthusiasm for land travel. This is the season of spring. Vegetables are tender and tender. Lu You picked it directly from the garden, washed it and cooked it immediately. Even without salt and other condiments, they still ate with relish. Therefore, a star in A Dinner Play said, "You can cook them when you go back, without adding half a baht of salt and cheese." It is not difficult to see how much Lu You loves to eat, from delicious to plain tea and rice. As the saying goes, "I want to be practical and only eat porridge for the gods."
