Jiangxi special cuisine
Jiangxi cuisine is characterized by its original flavor, strong oil flavor and salty and spicy taste. The definition of Gancai was first investigated by Jiangxi tourism scholar Lu Jun in 1980. He introduced Gancai in 1983 East China Tourism Guide published by China Tourism Publishing House, 1990 Jiangxi Land Resources published by Jiangxi Science and Technology Publishing House, and 1980 Tourism Internal Magazine. Before this definition, Mr. Lv Jun, a tourism scholar, had twice participated in the expert forum held by the relevant departments of the provincial government to solicit opinions from all sides. According to the speeches of experts from the Provincial Food and Beverage Department and cooking experts, it can be summarized as the above definition.

Gancai: It is a "literati dish" in Jiangxi in past dynasties. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "literati cuisine" in Jiangxi has become more popular. Such as "Wenshan (Wen Tianxiang) Diced Meat", "Dongpo (Su Dongpo) Diced Meat", "Old Table Chicken Soup" (named by Zhu Yuanzhang) and "Four Stars Looking at the Moon" (named by Mao Zedong), etc., all made annotations for the "literati cuisine" in Jiangxi. Jiangxi cuisine has a long history. As early as the Han and Jin dynasties, Jiangxi's business tourism activities were relatively prosperous. The Biography of Han Shi Ji Huo Zhi once described (Nanchang) and other places: "It is not good for rice and fish to have the same soup, or water and fire, clams and fruits." Zhang Yushu, written by Lei Cizong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once described the economic exchanges in Jiangxi at that time as "thousands of miles by land and four sides by water", "polished rice is good at tasting four sides, and gold iron pots give money to four sides". "Rice soup fish" and "Jiashu polished rice is good in all directions" are written about the prevalence of local food culture in Jiangxi at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Mei also recorded a famous dish in Jiangxi in his "Suiyuan Food List": "Steamed pork with flour".
