In the early 1980s, a group of chefs headed by Tang Dexing and Tang made bold innovations on the basis of inheriting the traditional cooking methods of Sichuan cuisine, and cooked "Laifeng Fish" with the main characteristics of "spicy, spicy and tender", which was deeply loved by diners in the past. Yang Xuanting, a famous calligrapher, happily inscribed the book "The Beauty of Fresh Fish" and praised the taste of Laifeng. Famous performing artists Zhang Ruifen and Benchang You, singers Li Danyang and Cai Guoqing, calligrapher Fan Pu, political figure Gao Di, president of People's Daily, and former Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiao Yang made a special trip to Phoenix to eat fish. For a time, diners, regardless of distance and status, gathered in Laifeng to enjoy delicious food.
