The Origin of Clam Culture

Eating clams can be traced back to ancient China. According to Zhou Li Tianguan, ancient clams were processed into sacrifices together with fish and snails. It was used by the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and was also eaten in the court of the Zhou Dynasty. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, marine fisheries developed greatly, and people ate more clams. 65,438+0,400 years ago, Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote a valuable agricultural book called Qi Yao Min Shu, in which there was a section of roasted clams that paid special attention to seasoning, cooking and original flavor.

In ancient times, the larger clams were called slugs, and the smaller clams were also called oysters. It is said that slugs and clams both evolved from birds. "Mandarin Today" says: "Sparrows enter the sea as clams, and pheasants enter the Huaihe River as storks." Echoing this wonderful legend, clams do bring us the pleasure of flying to our taste, and also bring different cultural annotations to this city.
