Hangzhou was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and a large number of famous chefs from the north gathered in Hang Cheng, which made hangzhou dishes and Zhejiang cuisine enter a state of development from the bud, and Zhejiang cuisine has since stood among the national cuisines. Up to now, the famous dishes in the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 800 years, such as stuffed orange with crab, steamed sheep with turtle, Dongpo with preserved meat, fried eel in the south, Qunxian soup and double-color kidney flower, are still famous dishes at high-end banquets.
