Comprehensive list of Foshan specialties (Chancheng chapter)
1. Foshan Blind Man Cake first appeared during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 160 years. It belongs to the rice-made cake category. It was named after a blind man created it due to an unexpected encounter at that time. It is now exclusively produced by a manufacturer who has obtained a product patent. It has been developed to a certain extent and is a must-have item on Foshan’s tourism product shelves. He is well-known, but it is difficult to be the protagonist.
2. Fermented pig trotters (Foshan trotters)? It has been around for more than 100 years and is made by the time-honored brand Dexinzhai. Among the varieties of Foshan cuisine, it is considered an alternative because it is close to the northern taste, so it is also more popular among outsiders. It is recommended to promote it like Zhaoqing Steamed Wrap. I believe there is still a lot of room for development.
3. Foshan Zhuhou Chicken (series products: Zhuhou Duck, Zhuhou Goose, etc.)? The famous restaurant Sanpinlou became famous for being good at making this type of chicken, but unfortunately it could not escape the fate of closing.
4. Foshan’s autumn colors have already appeared during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403~1425) and are one of Foshan’s most famous business cards.
5. Shiwan dolls? They are also the business card of Foshan. They have recently become famous due to controversy and are currently one of the most popular categories among collectors! The prospects are promising. However, there are also hidden worries. First, there is an urgent need to improve the craftsmanship of the products. Second, the product creation is the same and lacks creativity in themes. Third, there is a mixture of good and bad, and the fourth is competition between sects.
6. Shiwan rice wine originates from the same source as Jiujiang rice wine. They only differ in water source, but there are signs of decline in recent years.
7. Foshan hyacinth silk? Because the yarn makes a sound when worn on the body and moved around, it is also called Xiangyun yarn. Later, the homonym was gradually adopted and the name was euphemistically called Xiangyun yarn. Diosphorus silk is a plain weave silk, jet black and translucent, also known as Dioscorea silk or black glue silk. Shen Tingfang's "Qianlong Guangzhou Prefecture Chronicle" records: The quality of Foshan silk is inferior to that of Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Xiangyun yarn is a traditional treasure of Foshan silk and the pride of Foshan people. But now it has been put on display in the history museum. It is recommended that it be re-produced and commercially packaged. It will have a very good effect as an award uniform for the Provincial Games.
8. Foshan Casting? After the three incense fell, the three pillars also collapsed. To appreciate its past glory, there are almost no shortage of history museums across the country.
9. Foshan Yingji Wonton Noodles? The traditional preparation method has been abandoned, and now only a shell remains. If the old gracefulness is not awakened in people's appetite, I am afraid it will sink for a long time.
10. Foshan paper-cut? It is most appropriately called the specialty of Foshan. It brings the elegant culture of Foshan far beyond the boundary monument of Foshan and has a history of more than 500 years. Expressiveness, clarity, rigor and neatness are the main features.
11. Foshan’s proprietary Chinese medicines were once very popular, with many brands recognized by China and foreign countries. It is a pity that except for those that have been exported overseas, the total output value is not as high as that of a second-tier domestic pharmaceutical factory.
12. Foshan lion tying? Nanshi tying is only produced by Guangzhou Zhuangyuanfang and Foshan, but I don’t know how talented the successors are now?
13. Shiwan Pottery? Shiwan Pottery enjoys the reputation of Shiwan tiles and is the best in the world. It still dominates the country and continues to flourish. There are nearly 300,000 people engaged in the same traditional industry. Are there any other examples? For other specialty products that are gradually declining, I believe it will be of great benefit to study the development of Shiwan pottery.
14. Gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, tin foil? The metal foil industry is a unique handicraft of Foshan. It started in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. The original product was mainly thick copper foil for making golden flowers. By the Qing Dynasty, with the development of production and the improvement of technology, thinner copper paper could be made. Gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, and tin foil also emerged at the same time. There were guilds in various industries. It was most prosperous from 1906 to 1915, with more than 200 factories and more than 3,000 workers. Embroidery threads made of gold foil are exported to Europe and the United States. Later, due to the large-scale import of decorative paper, the market gradually shrank.
15. Shiwan fish tofu? In the Nanfanshun area, fish tofu is a very common dish, and the preparation is roughly the same. Only the preparation method of Shiwan is different, and it is different from other fish. It is smooth and silky. If used with other ingredients, it is often served on high-end banquet tables.
16. Haitian soy sauce? Needless to say, it is one of the best developed and most successful products among Foshan specialties! It has been group-operated and developed a number of series of products, and has enjoyed a reputation in many places across the country
Encyclopedia of Foshan Specialty Products (Nanhai Chapter)
1. Xiqiao Pancake? What are its characteristics? It is soft, sweet and loose in the mouth.
It is a famous brand product of Xiqiao Mountain, the first tourist resort in Foshan.
2. Pingzhou Fu Meat Pie? I believe that few people in Foshan know about this specialty. In fact, it appeared earlier than blind man cake, and has always been made by families and small workshops. It is similar to Zhongshan's almond cake.
3. Jiujiang Jiandui? Together with Longjiang Jiandui, it has always been a famous New Year’s Eve food. In Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta, it is even more famous than Blind Man Cake. Unfortunately, with the changes of the times, although there have been improvements in many aspects, it has gradually fallen away from people's attention.
4. Longjiang Jiandui? This place is connected to the two regions of Jiujiang, but it produces two different products with the same name. And Dingdang Wharf has its own fan-seeking customers, and I believe there are many more inside. Stories are waiting to be discovered. The two kinds of Jiandui are called the two major schools, and their experiences are almost the same.
5. Nanhai mashe dog meat? It is cooked with dried meat and mixed with special sauce to highlight the aroma of pork. It is very well-known in some areas. Some diners from Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao drive there to taste it. There are about 10 special shops open and the business is booming.
6. Yanbu Cangella? In recent years, it has often appeared in the elegant halls of Sui Chan restaurants. In fact, it has long been famous, and there is a special explanation in the introduction of Cantonese cuisine ingredients. The locals in the place of origin call it golden finger. It has green skin, is no thicker than the middle finger, is 6 to 8 inches long, has a hooked tail, is soft, and has the characteristics of being bent and unbroken at the head and tail. It is said that the produce from only two acres of land is of high quality.
7. Pingzhou Jinsi Pomelo? Due to low yield, it is a specialty that is believed to have been forgotten. The fruit is only about the size of a fist, with thin skin, no residue, no core, juicy, juicy and sour flesh. Moderately sweet.
8. Pingzhou Shek Kip Longan? One year, a fruit vendor from other places came to Pingzhou Shek Kip Village to sell authentic Shik Kip Longan. The locals took him to the old fruit tree. He said that this person was so embarrassed that he can no longer do it now. There are fewer authentic Shikia longan, but the true descendants weigh less than 2,000 kilograms.
9. Official kiln stone watermelon? I believe few people know about it in Foshan, but it is well-known among old Guangzhou people. In the past, when I was riding a Hongmian bicycle with a big bookshelf and selling watermelons in a large basket on both sides in Guangzhou, most of the people selling watermelons were Shijie watermelons, which is synonymous with high-quality watermelons. Shijie Village is located in the Taoyuan area of ????South China. It has been growing watermelons for hundreds of years. It is the ancestor of Heshui watermelons.
10. Jiujiang Double Distilled Liquor? The advertisement in Hong Kong is well known in the streets and is the Marlboro of liquor.
11. Guanyao Water chestnut? It is famous for its large, juicy, sweet and residue-free fruit. Together with Guilin Water chestnut, it ranks first in terms of annual export volume.
12. Nanhai embroidery (the most important part of Cantonese embroidery)? There are records about Cantonese embroidery in the Tang Dynasty. According to Su E's "Du Yang Zabian": In the first year of Yongzhen (805), Lu Meiniang, a Gongqi woman from the South China Sea, was "extremely skillful" and could embroider seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra on silk only one foot long. "The size of the characters is no larger than a grain of millet", and the dots are clearly defined and thinner than a hair. Emperor Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty greatly admired his work. It is said that in the old days when people in Nanhai married a girl, the amount of gift money was determined by the quality of the embroidery. I believe that few people can embroider good embroidery now if they are given a gift of 10 million yuan.
13. South China Sea Shaxi Horse Hoof Noodles? It is even better than that produced in Guangzhou Pantang. Legend has it that one year Guangzhou Pantang’s horse hooves harvest failed and the merchant’s order could not be fulfilled, so he had no choice but to purchase the Shaxi produced one. Instead, I didn't know that the businessman's response was surprisingly good. But after all, Guangzhou’s reputation is so great that it still puts Shaxi Horseshoe Noodles at the bottom. Now Shaxi Horseshoe Noodles OEM Guangzhou Pantang Horseshoe Noodles supports 90% of the market.
14. Nanhai rattan mats? Nanhai rattan fabrics have a history of more than 100 years. In addition to being sold in Hong Kong and Macao, they are also exported to more than 50 countries and regions such as Japan, the United States, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Its related products, the Guangdong Hall of the Great Hall of the People, were not completed until the last renovation, but now the Hainan Hall and Hong Kong Hall are still used for decoration. In the past, the Fujian Hall was also used for decoration. Many leaders used it to receive foreign dignitaries. It was once called the most Chinese by foreign news agencies. Unfortunately, most people now only dream of poetry (thinking) and think about it, and this specialty has gradually declined.
15. Nanhai Lishui Winter Melon? There are only 21 products introduced by Cantonese cuisine ingredients as specific real estate, and Nanhai Lishui Winter Melon is one of them! What best demonstrates its superiority to other similar varieties is that it can be used as a winter melon pot to stew for a long time without collapsing. Boiling without making the soup turbid, the low-value product is high in elegance, which should show its high level of cultivation. In fact, the real Lishui winter melon is only produced in the Ganjiao area where the current high air conditioner is located. It is said that the villagers surnamed Pu in this area are descendants of the Yuan Dynasty royal family. They were driven here by Zhu Yuanzhang and fled here. Before leaving, they mistakenly took the high-quality winter melon seeds as a magical medicine. Only then was he able to take root here.
16. The square bamboo in Xiqiao Mountain? Strange, right? One of the eight wonders of Xiqiao Mountain. If you plant it in a pot and bring it into your home, it will make a difference, otherwise it will be suppressed by tall buildings sooner or later.
17. The Wudu snail in Xiqiao Mountain? The second wonder and one of the eight wonders.
18. Pan-fried __ fish in Xiqiao Mountain? The third wonder, and another eight wonders. Among them are chayote, Du Juan, Yunwu tea, etc.
19 Nanhai Firecrackers? Once upon a time, the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival was almost a symbol of the Chinese New Year. Nanhai Firecrackers were also famous for the Nanhai Firecrackers. The two major firecracker factories held the top spot in the country. However, with the policy of banning firecrackers in various places, the industry has also shrunk greatly. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. From then on, South China Sea firecrackers only remain in people's memory.
20. Heshun Lam? In high-end snack shops, Huapi Lam has always played the role of raw and dandy. You must know that Huapi Lam comes from Heshun Lam. My great-grandmother often mentioned it when she was still alive. I believe it is more than a hundred years old.
21. Heshun shrimp? It can only be found in the river section two kilometers before and after Jinshan Temple. Because the shrimp legs and the edge of the shrimp shell are yellow, it is described as a gold-rimmed shrimp. There are even many legends in the local area that it is covered with a layer of shrimp. Legendary colors. But the meat of this shrimp is indeed very refreshing and fresh, and the shrimp shell is very thin. The price of Guangzhou Qingping Market with this sign is more than 20% higher than others
