The origin of the name

Spotted fish grow in Mudu area of Taihu Lake. It is famous for its tender liver and delicate meat. Bangan soup is made of liver of spotted fish, ham, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chicken clear soup. It has a unique flavor and tastes fresh. So why did "Bangan Decoction" become "Baofei Decoction"? Originally, there is a story here!

"Baofei Decoction" was formerly known as "banfei Decoction". As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was very popular in Suzhou to make all kinds of dishes with spotted fish lungs. In Sui Yuan Shi Dan, Yuan Mei of Qing Dynasty, there is a record about spotted fish dishes: "spotted fish is the most tender. Peel off the skin and remove the filth, divide the liver and meat into two kinds, simmer them in chicken soup, add three portions of wine, two portions of water and one portion of autumn oil. Add a large bowl of ginger juice and green onions to remove the fishy smell But at that time, this dish was not famous, just as a seasonal dish to taste.

During the Mid Autumn Festival in 1920s, Mr. Yu Youren, a famous calligrapher and KMT veteran, went to Taihu Lake with his wife to enjoy Guangxi. On the way home, he passed Mudu and went to the Shijia hotel in the town for dinner. In order to entertain Mr. Yu, the store specially made Daoban liver soup. I didn't expect that Mr. Yu had a special liking for this soup after eating. He praised it so much that he wrote an impromptu poem: "old osmanthus blossoms all over the world, you can see the flowers all over the Taihu Lake, and you can remember returning to the boat Mudu. Thank you for shijiabaofei soup.".

Fish liver is commonly known as "fish lung". At that time, for the word "barber" in the poem, someone wrote an article in the newspaper to satirize Mr. Yu for not distinguishing "spot" and "barber", which caused a lawsuit. Who knows, the newspapers fight, but the reputation of "Bangan soup" is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it becomes a famous delicacy in the north and south of the country. For a long time, not only "Bangan Decoction" has been replaced by "Baofei Decoction", but also this soup has become a popular dish.
