Why is it called "family portrait"

Family photo was originally a dish name.

Family portrait is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River. Every holiday season, many people will make this dish specially, and friends and relatives will get together to enjoy it. Because this dish symbolizes the happiness of family reunion and places people's good feelings for it. There are also touching stories with twists and turns.

According to legend, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism for 35 years, and many Confucian scholars were robbed. There was a Confucian scholar named Zhu Xian who was buried in a pit and woke up at night. He struggled desperately to climb out, hiding in the depths of the jungle and living on wild fruits and vegetables all day. In order to avoid a disaster and a government raid, Zhu Xian had to remain anonymous and wander in a foreign land.

A few years later, Qin Shihuang died and Qin Ershi acceded to the throne. Zhu Xian returned to his hometown, but his former home was in ruins. The house at home was washed away by the flood a year ago, and his wife and children were stranded outside and disappeared. Seeing this, Zhu Xian was heartbroken, so he jumped into the river and killed himself. Fortunately, he was saved by a fisherman. After listening to Zhu Xian's crying, the fisherman said to him, "Last flood season, I saved a teenager. I think he is honest and diligent, and the old man accepts him as a son-in-law. His surname is Zhu, too. You might as well come to my house and have a look. " Meeting and recognizing each other is really the same flesh and blood that has been separated for several years. The father and son wept bitterly, both sad and happy. Later, Zhu Xian stayed with his son and made a living by selling fish. One day, when he was selling fish in the market, he suddenly saw a very familiar figure in the crowd. He hurried to see that it was his wife. The two were pleasantly surprised and had a good talk. In this way, the family reunited after suffering.

After learning this, the fisherman collected delicacies and invited famous chefs to set the table to celebrate Zhu Xian's family reunion. Knowing the joys and sorrows of Zhu Xian's family, the chef painstakingly cooked a special dish called "Family Portrait".

This dish specially selects all kinds of delicacies, birds, animals, fish and vegetables that grow in mountains, swim in water, fly in the sky and live on the ground. It adopts the method of combining lubricating oil with roasting and frying, which is harmonious in color and pleasant in taste, and all guests are full of praise after eating. Since then, this dish with special meaning has spread and become a famous dish in Jiangnan area.

Not only Jiangnan, Yantai, Hunan and other places have this dish, the content is suitable for different places.

Why do you want to bind with photos? I can't find an authoritative answer. People naturally think that it was created by the working people before and after liberation.

I also found a book. I don't know if it's useful. One of them mentioned Family Portrait.
