Du Fu
"Two orioles are singing on the top of the green willow, and the egrets are sky-high"?
My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.
The story of scholars and chefs:
In ancient China, a famous chef was knowledgeable and talented. All the dishes he cooks are called Tang poetry, and everyone calls him' kitchen poetry'. A scholar is self-reliant. He is not convinced by this' kitchen poem' and wants to play a trick on him. Once, he had a problem in his heart and it was difficult to come. He asked the master to make a "poem dish" with only two eggs. This poem "Kitchen Poetry" says: "It's not difficult to write a poem with two eggs. When I succeed. " Take out two eggs in the basket ...?
The party is ready. The first course is two round yolks peeled from two boiled eggs. After steaming with seasoning, decorate it with a few tender vegetables and put it in a bowl with the inscription:?
Two orioles sing green willows'; ?
The second course is to shred the cooked protein, put a green leaf under it, arrange it in a formation and put it in a porcelain basin. Poetry:?
A line of egrets goes to heaven'; ?
The third course is a pinch of vegetables fried with shredded protein. Cut the protein essence into thin lines like goose feathers, put it in a basin and recite a poem.
The window contains snow in Xiling'; ?
The fourth course is a bowl of clear soup with seasoning, with several eggshells floating on it and a poem:?
"Wu Dong Wan Li Ship". ?
These four dishes are arranged in sequence, and the four poems are linked one by one. Together, they are the quatrains of Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. ?
This ingenious four-course dish made this self-righteous, supercilious scholar, unable to help but admire him, and repeatedly praised him,' Kitchen poetry, kitchen poetry!' Because "poem" and "teacher" are homophonic, people later changed "kitchen poem" to "chef" in order to address this talented chef and make it easier to read, which has been used ever since.
Translation:
Two orioles are singing in the air, and a row of egrets are flying in the sky. You can see the Millennium Snow of Xiling outside the window, and ships from Wan Li, Wu Dong are moored at the door.
