The origin of Sichuan Jiuwan
Oh, it's not complicated. At first, nine bowls really only meant nine dishes. Why nine bowls? Because pig troughs for pigs in Sichuan are generally made of stones, people follow people and regard "people who eat ten bowls of stones" as the code word of pigs, so they can't entertain guests with ten bowls of vegetables. And you can't put eight bowls of food on the table, because beggars (beggars) usually come to congratulate or cry when you open the table. They often play with lotus flowers and sing whatever they see wherever they go. Because the host family believes in the principle that "guests go to Wang's home", whether it is a red wedding or a white wedding, they should warmly entertain beggars who come to join us. It's just that they don't eat a few dishes from other guests, but a bowl of bibimbap for each person. In this way, a square table with two people sitting on one side happens to be eight bowls of rice, so people in western Sichuan call it a beggar's seat. Therefore, when giving a banquet, the numbers eight and ten must be taboo. So I have been learning the custom of nine bowls of dishes, and over time it has become commonly known as nine bowls. But now everyone says that eating nine bowls of dishes is not just nine dishes.
