Where do the names of Chinese dishes come from?

1. Name the dishes according to the ingredients used in cooking and the way of cooking.

For example, the pork stewed vermicelli in Northeast my country is stewed with pork and vermicelli, so it is called this name. It is simple and convenient and has no special meaning. Another example is some braised or braised vermicelli. It is a sweet and sour dish, braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised hairtail fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour fish, etc. are all directly named after French ingredients.

2. Name the vegetables according to their color or shape.

For example, green onions mixed with tofu are also called Yi Qing Er Bai, because the green onions are green, the tofu is white, and tomatoes mixed with white sugar are the simplest cold dishes, but they are called literary in restaurants. One point, to increase one's worth, to be known as the volcanic snow, is really a very impressive image.

3. Literary people use poems or idioms to name dishes.

I forgot where I saw it. It was said that there were a few vegetable leaves floating in the egg drop soup, and then the dish was named "Two Orioles Singing in the Green Willow". There is also the "gathering of heroes" in the Spring Festival Gala. It is actually a meeting of radish, which is really the ultimate in literature and art.
