There is still a legend at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after years of war, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces were thousands of miles away and sparsely populated. The imperial court forced people from Huguang to move to Sichuan and Shaanxi. This is the famous "Huguang fills Sichuan, Sichuan fills Shaanxi" let's say that a large number of people in northern Sichuan are reluctant to move to other places because they are unable to leave their hometown. The officials cut their hands one by one and tied them with ropes. They were escorted by officials and marched across Daba mountain to Shaanxi in groups the people walked northward one by one, holding their breath and turning back in three steps. Like prisoners, they have no freedom of movement. When they need to defecate, they should first report to the police. After getting permission, they can temporarily untie the rope on their hands. Long stool time is called defecation, and short urination time is called urination. After urinating and defecating, tie your hands back to prevent escape as the saying goes, fire and water are merciless. There are a lot of people, and they eat soup and vegetables.

The officers and men untied many people's hands one after another with swearing. Wang Gang whistled three more times. He took the lead and kicked the officer's head down the mountain. As soon as everyone rushed forward, the officers and men were unable to defend themselves and outnumbered. They were all pushed off the cliff and fed the wild animals when people are free, disasters will come. They did not dare to return to their hometown Sichuan, nor did they want to go to a new place, so they settled down in the old forest near tianchiliang. They built grass to make a living, slash and burn, and lived a life of high mountains and remote emperors.

She was ready to prepare green vegetables for her mother-in-law who had been ill for a long time, so that she could eat vegetables all year round. When winter goes and spring comes, the leaves of green vegetables grow green and the leaves are wide open; The spring fragrance has been pulled down one by one. In this way and another, we have tried again and again. How can we protect the green vegetables so that they are not yellow or rotten? But they failed again and again. Once, she found that the cooked vegetables could last for two or three days because of the salt in them. So she took a basket full of green vegetables, washed them in the river, dried them in the sun for half a day, then wiped them with salt, tied them with palm leaves, and put them in jars. After seven or seven or forty-nine days, she took it out of the jar again. Ho, a fragrance rushed into her nostrils. She tore some off and chewed it. It was delicious and tasted good. She jumped up happily and immediately took it and told her mother-in-law. When she tasted it, her mother-in-law's eyes narrowed with delight. The next year, when the vegetables grew taller, Chunxiang took out the pickles stored in the jar: fried them with oil and served them to her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law happily said: "filial piety, filial piety... What a filial piety!" after the success of Chunxiang's long pickle, it was passed from one to another, and the villagers all came to see the rarity and learn the craft. Since then, more and more people have made pickled vegetables, and pickled vegetables have become people's favorite long-term food more than ten years have passed, and Chunxiang's daughter Lili has grown into a big girl. Before her marriage, Chunxiang specially prepared a jar of long pickled vegetables for her as a dowry, so that her daughter could go to her mother-in-law's house and show filial respect to her mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law could eat green vegetables all year round. So green vegetables are also called kiss dishes since then, farmers in Daba Mountain have married their daughters, and parents have all followed Chunxiang's example and made a jar of long salted vegetables to accompany them. This local custom has been handed down from generation to generation

Once, she found that the cooked vegetables could last for two or three days because of the salt in them. So she took a basket full of green vegetables, washed them in the river, dried them in the sun for half a day, then wiped them with salt, tied them with palm leaves, and put them in jars. After seven or seven or forty-nine days, she took it out of the jar again. Ho, a fragrance rushed into her nostrils. She tore some off and chewed it. It was delicious and tasted good. She jumped up happily and immediately took it and told her mother-in-law. When she tasted it, her mother-in-law's eyes narrowed with delight. The next year, when the vegetables grew taller, Chunxiang took out the pickles stored in the jar: fried them with oil and served them to her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law happily said: "filial piety, filial piety... What a filial piety!"
after the success of Chunxiang's long pickle, it was passed from one to another, and the villagers all came to see the rarity and learn the craft. Since then, more and more people have made pickled vegetables, and pickled vegetables have become people's favorite long-term food
more than ten years have passed, and Chunxiang's daughter Lili has grown into a big girl. Before her marriage, Chunxiang specially prepared a jar of long pickled vegetables for her as a dowry, so that her daughter could go to her mother-in-law's house and show filial respect to her mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law could eat green vegetables all year round. So green vegetables are also called kiss dishes
since then, farmers in Daba Mountain have married their daughters, and parents have all followed Chunxiang's example and made a jar of long salted vegetables to accompany them. This local custom has been handed down from generation to generation
