Who invented tofu? Tell us about its historical background?

Huainan Tang is the name of a tofu factory in Huainan, China, which was originally named in honor of Liu An, King of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, the

inventor of tofu. How did the King of Huainan invent

tofu? It turned out that Liu An practiced the art of Huang Lao and practiced it night and day in Huainan. The monks and Taoists who accompanied him were vegetarians, and in order to improve their lives, they developed the delicious

tofu, and offered it to Liu An for his enjoyment. Liu An tasted it, and it was so delicious that he ordered it to be made in large

quantities. Thus, the invention of tofu was credited to Liu An, the King of Huainan.

Legend has it that Liu An later "ascended to heaven" in Bakong Mountain, where the King of Huainan's Liu An Temple was built, and

"Bean curd in Bakong Mountain" became famous all over the world.
