Poems about Wushan Butter Cake 1. The coir raincoat cake of Wushan Butter Cake
Qian Guihuajun's "Random Talk about Wushan Butter Cake" The article "Cake" said that Wushan butter cake, also known as "coir raincoat cake", is related to Su Dongpo. In order to illustrate the reliability of the name "coir raincoat cake", Qian Jun quoted a poem recited by Su Dongpo in Wushan: "There is nothing in front of the flowers on a picnic, and a gourd is tied around the waist; the pan has been poured and the water is wrong, and I am looking for Jun's house It's very crispy." Later, Su named the cake "coir raincoat cake" because the coir raincoat he wore was similar to the cake.
I think Qian Jun’s above statement is inconsistent with historical records.
Let’s talk about the above poem first. This poem was not chanted by Su Dongpo in Wushan, Hangzhou, but in Huangzhou, Hubei. The book "Compilation of Anecdotes of Song Dynasty People" (first edition of Zhonghua Book Company, September 1981) quotes the original text of "Yi Jian Zhi" by Hong Mai, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, which says: "Dongpo was in Huangzhou. How can he be a scholar? He eats oil and fruits very crispy." , because he asked the host what it was called? Dongpo asked again: "Why is it so crispy?" All the guests said: "It can be called something." Li Li, Po laughed and said, "This must be the wrong water." The other day, he suddenly thought about oil fruits and wrote a poem to ask for it: "There is nothing to drink in front of the flowers. There is only a gourd tied around the waist; I have poured the panzi (Qian Wen) Mistakenly called "Pan Gan"), the wrong water is found, and the Jun family is very crisp. "
Speaking of Su Dongpo's visit to Wushan, Hangzhou local annals only record that when he was admiring peonies at Baocheng Temple at the eastern foot of Ruishi Mountain in the southern Wushan Mountains, he saw the poem written by the former prefect Zhao Qianzu on the wall. He impromptuly wrote a poem called "Farewell to the Peony of Sakyamuni to Present Zhao Qianzu", which was carved on Ganhua Rock by later generations. There are no other poems except this. Besides, there were no residential buildings in Wushan during the Song Dynasty, and people from Hangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Tian Rucheng (the prefect of Hangzhou) cited historical data from the Song Dynasty and said in the book "West Lake Tour Chronicles": "In the pre-Song Dynasty, there were many open spaces in the west corner of Hangzhou, which were inaccessible to people. Baolian Mountain, Wu Mountain, and Wansong Mountain were full of lush trees. There are no residential buildings. Also, Zhou Mi of the Song Dynasty wrote in his book "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge" about Hangzhou that Wushan "I heard that there are many tigers in recent days, and they often come and go during the day, so I can't fully explore the beauty of this mountain. Therefore, I wrote this book to show that there are good things to do for those who want to travel." "It can be seen from this that during the Song Dynasty, Wushan was "uninhabited" and "had no residential buildings". It was also "a lot of tigers" and "infrequent". How could there be any "shops" selling cakes? The climbing stone steps on Wushan Mountain were built in the Yuan Dynasty (see Tian Rucheng's "West Lake Tour"). How could Su Dongpo, the prefect of Hangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty before the Yuan Dynasty, "walk to the mountain with a staff" and see "people rushing to buy shortbread cookies"? Isn't this a myth from Arabian Nights?
Whether it is a cooking history story or a funny story about food, it must respect the truth of history and reflect the original appearance of history. Wushan butter cake was once called "coir raincoat cake". It was first mentioned in Wu Jingzi's "The Scholars" in the Qing Dynasty and his contemporary Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List". Don't call it a history out of thin air. Pushed up to the Northern Song Dynasty. I hope that the authors who write about cooking history and food anecdotes should seek truth from facts and anecdotes must be well-founded; if they are folk tales and legends, they must reflect things objectively and must not violate the authenticity of history.
2. Introduction to Hangzhou Wushan Pastry Cake
It has been mentioned and praised in the famous Qing Dynasty novel "The Scholars". Ghee cakes are made with fine white flour mixed with sugar and fried with peanut oil. Wushan butter cake has a long history. About a thousand years ago (at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms), when Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Rengan of the Southern Tang Dynasty fought in Shouxian County, Anhui, the local people made butter cakes from chestnut flour to support Zhao's army. Later, when Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he often ordered the imperial chef to make this cake for consumption. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, when the capital was moved to Lin'an (today's Hangzhou), this cake was often eaten. Later, it was spread to the people by the imperial chef. People imitated this cake in Wushan scenic spots and used flour to shorten it to make Wushan butter cake, which is known as the best cake in Wushan. And it has been passed down to this day. Hangzhou’s traditional snacks. It was named after it was often served in Wushan Scenic Area in the old days and was praised by Su Dongpo, the governor of Hangzhou.
There are two legends about the origin of Wushan butter cake. One theory is that it originated from the famous "Great Rescue" that came out in the early Song Dynasty. After the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Hangzhou, people imitated "The Great Rescue" in order to satirize the government, hoping that the Southern Song Dynasty court would remember the difficulties of founding the country and not lose power and humiliate the country.
This is the most famous made in Wushan, so it is also known as "Wushan Butter Cake". Second, it is said that he was named after Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Su Dongpo was the magistrate of Hangzhou. One day, he was in high spirits after work. He was wearing a raincoat and wearing awnings, and he went to Wushan in the rain. He saw people rushing to buy oil cakes, so he bought a few. He untied the wine gourd and sat among the wild flowers to taste it. I think this cake is crispy and chewy, and tastes great. Ask the store what its reputation is? The store owner replied: "Mountain snacks don't have a good reputation." Su Dongpo looked at the cake carefully, with layers and threads, like a coir raincoat on his body, and he said casually: "Okay, since there is no elegant name, let's call it coir raincoat cake!" Because Su Dongpo named the cake, and from then on, Wushan "Coir raincoat cake" has a prosperous business and a wide reputation. Because the pronunciation of the words "coir raincoat cake" and "butter cake" are in harmony, and the cake itself is both oily and crispy, it was later renamed "butter cake". Butter cakes evolved from chestnut flour butter cakes in Shouxian County, Anhui Province. Made with oil dough and pastry. Golden in color, stacked with crisps, with a pointed top and a garden below, shaped like a golden mountain, covered with fine white sugar, crisp but not broken, oily but not greasy, sweet and delicious, as if it is crispy in the mouth. It was first made in Wushan during the Southern Song Dynasty.
