Legend has it that in ancient times there was an emperor who passed Jiayu in an imperial boat. The ship was caught in a storm while sailing in the middle of the river. Suddenly, the wind was blowing hard, the sail was torn, the mast was broken, the rudder failed, the ship wobbled, and the royal boat was in danger of capsizing. At this time, two Huanglongs suddenly rose from the bottom of the river, driving the sinking imperial boat steadily from the center of the river to the shore, ensuring the safety of the emperor and his party.

The local people immediately spread the news: "The emperor is blessed. The emperor is a dragon, and of course there is dragon protection. " Since then, the folk story that the emperor named this place "Driving the Door" has spread.

Later, Emperor Tang Ming toured Jiangnan. After seeing the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, he toured along the Yangtze River and enjoyed the scenery of water towns in various ports in the south of the Yangtze River. Yu Zhou traveled around Jiayu and found that rivers and lakes are connected here, and there is water in one vein. He said to himself silently, "There is more water and fish here, and the fresh fish here will inevitably have a flavor." As soon as his voice fell, he saw a silver fish jump in front of Tang Minghuang. He told the courtiers to pick it up quickly, read it again and again, and said happily, "Fu Chengtian is coming historically."

The courtiers even praised each other: "The emperor is blessed. If this fish is offered by himself, it will be auspicious." Immediately ask the accompanying chef to perform cooking and present it to the emperor. Tang took two bites and found that the meat was tender and delicious. He asked, "What's the name of this fish?" The courtier who read the dead book replied, "I haven't seen it in the book."

The chef also said, "I have never seen such a good fish since I became a chef." After standing for a long time, the left and right attache couldn't answer the name of the fish. Fortunately, Emperor Huang Ming of the Tang Dynasty was an enlightened and knowledgeable emperor. He said, "All fish must be famous. Since you are not famous and there is no record in the book, give it a name! "

Ming Taizu thought of an auspicious story called "driving the mouth" in ancient times; I also saw the loveliness of this fish jumping, bathing and shining silver scales; I also remember that there is a good name in the Book of Songs: "There are good fish in the south". If so, Jin Kou spoke freely: "A beautiful person is also beautiful. Just call Jiayu. " Therefore, this term of imperial seal has been passed down to this day.
